Just watched Episode 44 yesterday. Made me tear up a little bit. When I started on episode 1, I didn't expect to feel this way. Also, the fucking Aesthetics are god tier.
Urusei Yatsura Thread
I'd cry too if I wasted one of the most beautiful shows of the 80s by streaming it online
You sound new to anime. Are you?
Episode 25 with the Caterpillar was my favorite.
No, not new. I just really haven't touched much 80s anime, which I've found to be my favorite.
I'm using both Yea Forums watches on YouTube and KissAnime since I'm watching with a friend.
He's still in the streaming phase. He can't be watching anime for longer than a year.
I don't have space to store Blu-ray box set rips. But this show is so good that I'm considering it.
If anyone is willing to link me a Mega with all the episodes, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Lum is a top waifu
>mega
>hasn't watched UY yet
>streaming
>low-quality
yeah
/lumposting/
That's really just the beginning of the show going with episodes with a different atmosphere. Oshii really starts taking the source material in a much more loose way from the 60s and on.
just install jdownloader, and copy the youtube playlist to download it all
btw I love this show too
Does it get less kino? Or does it get even better?
it gets better
and then it stays on the equal "nothing new ever happens" level until the final ep
God, I am in love with Lum
The YouTube Playlist has quite a few missing episodes
best girl of the last century
>this triggers the mods
How is this show so fucking good?
top girl that's why
I torrented this shit the other day but I still need to finish Eureka Seven, Gunslinger Girl, .hack//legend of the twilight, Ragnarok the Animation, Lyrical Nanoha, Pretty Sammy, and Dororon Enma-kun Meramera first!
Also I made this wallpaper if anyone wants to use it.
cute
And here it is without the filter.
I like this one
>kissanime
Complete idiot.
Rumiko took inspiration from this Hawaiian model when creating Lum. Say something nice about her.
stunning and beautiful
Why did they draw this? I don't remember it in the series.
also
She's pretty cute, I wish Ranma went this way too. Both Shinobu and Akane are shit.
good night, Yea Forums
Just delete them after you watch them you dumbass.
>Also, the fucking Aesthetics are god tier.
You really think so? I enjoy the show and character designs but I hate the early 70s look and feel. Would've been better if it was made in the 90s or late 80s.
The OVAs are pure late 80s. Also most of the 2nd half of the tv series, although the animation style is inconsistent there and sometimes it looks like the earlier episodes.
Fug I really gotta get back on this series
what the FUCK was his problem
i'm 130 episodes,2 OVAs, and 2 Movies deep, plus i'm also drunk. what happened on episode 44?
to defend him, I think the ova's and show itself is over 130gb
Lum leaves Atatu to get her passport renewed, but Ataru thinks she left for good.
He has a mental breakdown and cries in an alley, and Lum hears him though a planted microphone.
I absolutely love the Aesthetics personally. They're wonderful.
shh
look for it on nyaa, one of the sub downloads has ova+ show, and you can get the movies from the same website
damn I do remember that one, it shows how he really feels, one of the few touchy feely episodes that pull on your heart
They change character designers a lot. It really goes from a somewhat kiddy look to the style you see in the OP, and then, in the Yamazaki half, it really shows an 80s vibe.
>Also most of the 2nd half of the tv series
I'm still in the earlier half, I really need to get back into it. I didn't even know there were OVAs. I think the last episode I saw might've been when Ataru, Mendou, Shinobu, and Lum all get stuck in the cave on the camping trip.
The 70s/early 80s aesthetic works really well for Lum's design but something about it as a whole I don't love. I'd love to see Urusei Yatsura in the style of Shin Cutie Honey or Yu Yu Hakusho.
This looks pretty good. It reminds me of something else but I can't put my finger on it.
it seems it is my duty to not let this thread die, but i'm short of material
This thread has inspired me to finally watch all the way through bros, I'm on the 5th episode which is apparently "9&10" or something.
So best girl ever then, right?
A long time ago I made it like 30-40 episodes in or so, I forget. All I remember is that all the episodes just became extremely same-y and not as funny. Compare that to Ranma which I've seen all of and while it does have ups and downs I never got bored with it. Is it just me? Should I give it another shot?
kek, I really appreciate this image, earlier episodes are halves, so not a full 20 minute episode, instead its 2 10 minute parts or something, unrelated to each other
to watch the whole show all at once is hard, but if you include the ova's and movies where they are supposed to, it adds a different pace and variation
Thanks for the tips
Keep it alive, Lum deserves it
I should have more material once I start the show again, just finished the second movie like yesterday
Without spoiling, are the movies good?
yes, 2 was interesting, 1 showed the true "feelings" of characters
youtube.com
this is the ending song to the second movie, I think this song is super good, its basically american 80's but in japanese
dont know why I quoted feelings, disregard that, theres no need
2nd half isnt as good, fair warning
Is this Yea Forums consensus or just you
that's just because of the OP/EDs getting shittier
not him but like 4 different directors or something made this
i havent really asked Yea Forums, the writing just goes downhill. check me.
Because despite the directors attempts to ruin it they had top tier source material.
It's better than the first half.
Your taste is the only thing that's shit.
posting fine borderline material, lads
tell me you wouldnt a female chibi (next post)
Rum
Bullshit. The attempt to make things different is what makes the anime so great. I'm not denying the manga is top tier, but the anime is also perfect because it tries to be his own thing.
Shit, If you can put up with the last few seasons of Ranma you'll definitely not get bored with the rest of Urusei Yatsura.
if you can get through happosai, you can get through anything really
the 2nd half is certainly different, but it definitely doesnt completely shit the bed like Darling in the FranXX
aint that the truth
getting close to finish that show too, and he's starting to fade into the background
Perky left nip.
It's the ultimate classic romcom. Savor it, once you've finished watching the series for the first time you can never get the same experience...
If you have an AT account, there's a DL with the complete bluray restore subbed.
Last I heard, one of the biggest archives of Lum stuff died a couple months ago?
Lum will always be the all-time best waifu, but I have to admit that Mendou's fiancee's cross-pupils do things to me...
That's a damn shame. Any more details?
Is this soulless?
youtu.be
these boys gangsta as fuck
It's not the original, but it it still looks better than most current stuff.
>Both Shinobu and Akane are shit.
you shut your whore mouth
user, don't worry
I'll take over the shift
Kagome was the superior Akane.
based
>tfw no autistic nekolum gf
Wish they'd finished the British dub.
youtube.com
this dub is a show of it's own, back when I saw it first I was laughing in tears.
too bad the quality is terrible and a few EP's are missing
What do you mean? I just got everything anime related like a few weeks ago
he's talking about a very specific nip server that's been offline for a while now
Bless your soul
AT Account?
Kinda wish I had a normal screen on top of the gaming monitor I have, the pictures I posted earlier looks a lot cleaner on my tablet
Gotta love Beautiful Dreamer.
Oh yeah I forgot to post that one lol, I really enjoyed it, it was mysterious but it wrapped up well
Ah yes, the one that finally got Ryu into a sailor uniform. That pan cel would be a rare treasure.
Kamiya Akira did an amazing job as Mendou but for some reason I found his episodes boring. By the way, is there a website with all the references and shout outs in UY?
The archived Animeigo liner notes is probably the closest thing you will find in English in one place: archive.animeigo.com
Doesn't cover the whole thing, however, and there are still little things and really Japanese inside jokes all over the place that are undocumented.
I enjoy when he gets along with moroboshi
ep100
:^)
Thanks a lot, this is really useful.
>The shame! Not since your uncle Kenchi was locked up in the nonce's wing!
I just wish there was a sub, I only understand British partially
By the way, I think he claims that his family are millionaires, but this guy owns all kinds of shit, so how rich is he?
rich enough.
it's an anime, it's never explained and it doesn't need to be
Lum actually had unwavering love while Shinobu fell for 2 other guys.
Facts, if we stick to this timeline
If I wish hard enough, will I get my own Lum one day?
We can all have a dream with our own lum, lad
the thing is not really about just the wish user, it's about living up to it.
Of course, the world you live in starts from you, if you want to live in a world where people respect you, you have to respect yourself first to project the respectfulness so that others would as well.
I had my Lum, someone who'd give her everything no matter how much of an arse I was. She'd always forgive, she'd always chase.
She was the blight of light in my younger days, days where my parents couldn't be parents to me, days when I didn't learn how to be respectful to the loved ones around.
UY kinda hits a hard spot for me, since no matter how much I don't want to, the cunt Ataru reminds me of myself. There's only one main difference, that being that I didn't chase girls. I was the same insufferable little shit who'd never actually tell you the nice things.
I wouldn't like to backtalk mt parents from then, but the reality is that nobody ever taught me how to love and care.
Even she snapped at one point, and we faded away from each other just as she moved to the other side of the town.
I never said I loved her
it's been nearly 12 years since then, with every day reminding me how much I fucked up.
If you do manage to find your Lum, promise me you'll take care of her.
gonna go take a few shots now, hopefully mods/jannies won't go apeshit over a little blogpost
I didn't come here to get my feelings fucked on a Tuesday, but i appreciate the advice friend. Who knows, the world is a small place but I know that there is a lum out there for all of us, and for you too.
Someone post the calarts lum
Jesus Christ...
I'll take care of her user. I promise.
Poor ataru’s mom having to make kilos and kilos of rice
What a happy ending. Before everyone else ruined it that is.
almost as bad as the last EP I must say
A little unrelated but I was wondering if the akane/Rama ship is canon, there was an episode where they saw the future of alkane and yoga having kids and such so I'm not sure
Who do y'all got?
Lum will love that motherfucker to death
Talk about some divine retribution
The plushes are nice, everything else looks cursed
Rumiko generally wrote them as millionaires, but the anime went way more over the top with it - note that all the stuff about Mendo's army is anime-only - in the manga, he only had the bodyguards in suits. He only arrived at school in an helicopter for his first day in the manga, not some giant flying fortress jet like in the anime.
The only really out there things in the manga were the giant rocket Christmas tree and the giant cake.
2nd half goes back to adapt many chapters that were skipped by the first half... and often they were skipped because they weren't that good in the first place. I still like a lot of the original episodes and also adaptations of later manga chapters.
In fact, some episodes have pretty good anime original build up in the first part and then become rather mediocre once the anime original part ends and it goes to the manga story.
Read the manga.
Beautiful Dreamer is a masterpiece and Final Chapter (movie 5) is the conclusion to the series and it's also a great ride. The others are mostly meh.
The UY Shrine everyone should have. I almost had that giant Lum on the left middle shelf. Won the auction from a nobody comic book writer on eBay - months pass, nothing comes. Back and forth with the cuck, still nothing. Supposedly lost in the mail, Alfred the comic writer sez he bought a new one out of pocket to send once he's back from Comic Con - ages later still nothing.
Finally dropped the credit card company dispute hammer on the little toad's head, and suddenly have all my bux back.
Lesson: Those UY figures REALLY are cursed after all.
does the bikini come off like a Barbie doll
Lets settle this; who is the alpha Chad?
Both are virgins, the true Alpha is Ataru.
