What does Yea Forums think of Urusei Yatsura?

Only Beautiful Dreamer was good
It's more boring than Ranma. Lum is cute, Ataru is an idiot.
Quality is shit, story is sub-par
chinese cartoons are gay
One of my favorite anime series.
It's comfy to fall asleep to and Lum a qt
It's a fun little show.
This is supposed to be one of the greatest anime series of all time. Don't ask me why that is since I never watched this, to me it looks like the same generic romance crap that gets spammed today.
comfy to have on in the background
I watched the first couple episodes, but it didn't hook me. I would like to watch some of the movies though, because I like Oshii as a director. I've also heard good things about (I think it's called) Lum the Forever.
quality improves once they get to full lenght eps somewhere 30 eps into the show
also, if you dont like the characters i doubt you'll enjoy the movie
I don't mind the characters
Personally I think Lum the Forever is the weakest of the UY movies. Felt like it tried way too hard to be deep and thought provoking, and just ended up being way too nonsensical. Maybe I'm just too stupid to understand it, I don't know. Music was great though.
Yeah I've heard it's pretty polarizing. Would like to see it for myself.
I think it's alright, but I do think at some point the director needed to realize that leaving out a chunk of the narrative isn't deep.
Manga is good, didn't see the anime yet
imagine being such a faggot
The series is great, especially when you get the the eps where Oshii and team hit their stride and began improvising vs slavishly following Takahashi. Highlights include "And then there were none", the "fast food wars" one, the weird one about Ataru's Mom, the Oshii finale where Ataru and the Stormtrooper rescue Lum from the Menou compound...
Some real heavyweight talent went into this stuff, like Screenwriter Kazunori Ito (Ghost in the Shell movie, Patlabor). The excellence of UY2 BD movie goes without saying.
What I read out of it is Urusei Yatsura had a lot of awareness about its formulas and episodic patterns and Lum the Forever is about those. The narrative directly includes a part of Lum being subtracted that breaks a major character dynamic, Lum herself subtracted and things that just don't work or that other characters can't do anymore without her around, Sakura has that monologue about the loop they're all in that changes just enough each time around to keep going like this, and the title of the movie references that longevity. It's a Urusei Yatsura story about making Urusei Yatsura and the effort to do novel things with very established characters that will still be recognizable as themselves and satisfy an audience that came to see them.
I'll never forget streaming it with Yea Forums, good times.
i'm 4 episodes in and I have 2 things to say
1. That little cousin is shit and should die
2. Weird intro...
God knows I tried.
But this particular brand of slapstick humor just isn't for me. And I'm too much of a completeness fetishist to skip to the best episodes and movies.
He might grow on you, I think the Ten focused episodes tend to be some of the funniest. He tends to get the shit beat out of him too.
Ten-chan is my good boy.
Hi dindu nuffin
Early episodes are great, late episodes are great, but its a slog and a half through the middle.
Oyuki best girl
a lotta fun, Ran was best girl.
Opening rankings goes
6=3>1>2>4>>
>intro
prefer this one?
youtube.com
been like a decade but I remember the worst being around the part with the ndrophonic strong girl in a suit
I ended up skipping a lot of episodes around there
I'd put 6 as a hard over 3 and move 2=3 but otherwise yeah so
6>3=2>1>4>>
i just love the animation of 3 thats all, maybe musically 6 is marginally better. As far as endings in concerned i would say
6>1>9>2>7>3>4>5>8
i don't know lol there's a lot of them
I love ataru's nasty personality, the episode where the tenchu bitch sends him to the nether realm was fucking hilarious. also love this dude
lol I watched this one the other day. I'm in the 30s and the quality jumps up a bit. there were way too many introductory episodes early on, the pace really dragged on for a bit.
it's almost like a japanese looney tunes sitcom, I love it
It's definitely fun to watch, but it does lack consistent quality, and is probably not the style many plebs on here would enjoy. Still I'm in love with it probably because it's the first really long series I watched. And the first two movies are great, the rest not so much.
