@@samuellopes8130 Yeah like it can still be set in the '80s, they can still use rotary phones and wear leg warmers and have adorable floofy hair and all that, but we don't live in the '80s and we're not 1980s people, we're 2020s people-We've had 4 decades since Takahashi drew those comics, chock full of people being funny and clever and creative (a lot of them influenced by her!), and so just adapting her original manga almost shot-for-shot and line-for-line like they've been doing so far isn't going to actually _be_ the same thing as it was back in that era, because _we're_ different. They're wonderful comics (I translated a bunch of them into English back in the '00s!) but they already exist, and we already know what Urusei Yatsura feels like back in that time-I wanna see what it can feel like here in our time.

How would people in the 1980s be able to do like a visual parody of Call Me By Your Name or a riff about social media pile-ons or whatever? _Who cares?!_ It's Tomobiki, baby! You've got a setting where absolutely nothing is impossible, so you can EASILY introduce a version of concepts from our lives here through alien technology or sorcery, which could actually be really funny if done well. Wacky, anything-goes comedies following in UY's wake like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei or Osomatsu-san or Pop Team Epic (and that's just in Japan) have shown us all kinds of new things you can do-Like as a throwaway bit just have one of Lum's gadgets go wrong and suddenly a scene is all live-action sock puppets or claymation or drawn on the animators' hands or something, or better yet do things I'd never even think of and make Urusei Yatsura once again as groundbreaking & innovative as it was 40 years ago. All they need is some space to play and the chutzpah to not worry about pissing off the worst kind of fans.
Outstanding username. This guy was being sarcastic, but I heard from somewhere certain TV channels in some states were once shared with more than one station. The end result was literally Japanese language anime mixed with NASCAR and PBS.
It was on one PBS station, in California, in the Bay Area (San Francisco, Oakland) Here is a clip from the station on Evangelion m.czcams.com/video/NzuYEk52Ucc/video.html&pp=ygUORXZhbmdlbGlvbiBwYnM%3D Plenty of CZcams videos cover the subject, and the station’s Wikipedia mentions it under “programming”. Idk if Urusei Yatsura was sired tho at one pointen.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/KQEH.
Rumiko Takahashi actually influenced anime and manga artists. (she wrote Urusei Yatsura btw) She was one of the 1st to come out with such stories, and the romance she uses in her stories is amazing, I love how it doesn't just rush to them admitting their love, but you know its there. and darkreaper2518 this is an amazing anime, clearly you dont know what a true anime is.
Admittedly, what got me in this opening is, try to be suprised, the giggling. I don't know why, but it got me and I find it to be charming. I don't know who is doing it that, but I imagine it could have been Lum, who also must have sang that song.
The oldest video on CZcams is 19 years old. It is already difficult to find videos on this site older than 15, so it’s amazing to find an upload from the earliest days of the platform!
i love urusei yatsura and am beyond glad that after so many years it’s been getting a lot more attention. not to mention the trend popped off the day the final episode of the reboot aired. now THAT’S what you call impeccable timing :)
This song's character choreography is supprisinly fluid, it looks good even after 30 years. I can't think of any video besides visiting the zoo that is older than this video, I'm sure I have seen one older since I've been watching CZcams since I was a kid in the 2000's, but nothing immediately comes to mind.
I was reading the original work which is being serialized in the magazine put at the cheap eating place in my college days. And after long every day past, when I found Lum moving for the first time in CZcams, I felt a fresh impression.
@@fwef7445 I don't think so. Some new show are pretty sick ! Like Demon Slayer , Tokyo Revenger , Violet Evergarden or Dr Stone. I think the problem with new shows is that there is too much shitty Isekai with no soul. But obviously It doesn't mean that every post 2010 show is shit
One of my favorites shows ever. I own almost all the Animeigo VHS tapes. Lum is my favorite anime girl ever. Though Mikuru from The Melancholy of.... is a close second.
I'm a sucker for retro anime, and I REALLY wanted to enjoy this one since the artstyle is really visually appealing and the characters seemed fun, but the show itself is just so mean spirited in it's humor and it's hard to really enjoy it, even if it isn't meant to be taken seriously.
i remember watching the first episode and thinking that this anime is too old to be good. The art and animation looks dated. Then I got up to the end of the anime thinking "This is probably the best anime I've seen in a long time." And this song is so catchy XD Also Rizelmine must have ripped off this OP real bad with it's repeated line "Let's Do It."
Much as I love Ranma 1/2, UY is the series that showcases Rumiko Takahashi's fertile imagination must vividly. It's not everyone's cup of tea but if you can get over how disjointed it is, it's well worth it. I only wish this show had been given a proper English dub like Ranma, then maybe more in America would know about it. ("Those Obnoxious Aliens" doesn't count.) But then, Lum (in anime) just isn't Lum if she doesn't have Fumi Hirano's voice coming out of her mouth, "datcha"'s and all.
Don't get so fidgety! You're always looking all over the place! Stop looking away from me! More than anyone else, I love you, love you, love you the best! love you, love you, love you! love you, love you, love you! love you, love you, love you! On nights when the stars are twinkling, I dream all about you. I love you, but you act like you don't know. I bet you're crazy for someone else by now! Ah! Men all have so many loves. Ah!
