Synopsis

When aliens known as the Oni threaten to invade the Earth, they promise to leave under one condition—a randomly-chosen human must win a one-on-one game of tag against Lum, the beautiful daughter of the Oni leader. The "lucky" person selected happens to be the lustful and unlucky high schooler Ataru Moroboshi. Given 10 days to attempt to grab Lum's horns, Ataru realizes how impossible the challenge is as he is faced with Lum's extraterrestrial powers.

Motivated by a promise of marriage from his childhood friend Shinobu Miyake, Ataru manages to catch Lum off guard. He mistakenly grabs hold of her bikini top first, but he eventually achieves his true goal. Although the game is over, Lum misunderstands that she is the one whom Ataru wants to marry, and she decides to move in with him. The poor student constantly tries to shake off the clingy Lum while doing his best to reconcile with his desired fiancée. After Ataru's heroic feat results in such a disastrous outcome, it is questionable whether luck will ever be on his side.

This is a reboot of the original source material, which was sorely needed. The old one was airing during 1981 - 1986. The voices were grating, especially in the BBC English dub. The English voices are still pretty bad in the reboot. The sub is fantastic. The ear piercing voices of the past are no where to be heard.
The animation is absolutely stunning. With fluid movement and vibrant colors, it is bound to keep one's attention. Also, the upgraded art of Rumiko Takahashi's work is so cute and loyal to her original work.
The opening themes are so adorably catchy that you find yourself humming them ...

Mixed Feelings
The animation is quite good. Not a whole lot of flash, but overall the animation is very smooth. The character detail is good, but the backgrounds are *chef's kiss* great. The characters have just an average amount of depth, and are annoying from time to time. That being said a lot of them are fairly likeable. The story has an average amount of depth, but the hijinks the story leads to are quite fun and creative. The pacing is average. Almost boring, and the plot moves along very slowly. The voice acting is fair. Good casting, average performances, and only sometimes annoying. The ops/eds are ...

Preliminary (3/23 eps)
When this anime started appearing I started to like it and I think this will be a good anime especially since it has quite a promising score, new characters that look cute and spoil the eye makes me sure this is going to be a good anime.

But alas it was just a figment of imagination, when I watched the first episode there's an invasion I thought it was an Alien but it wasn't from a Devil, Is it a Devil? That's what I thought, it turns out that girl is a descendant of a demon, why? I don't look at it like a demon descendant ...
