Lum's hair > candy, btw. :D Yum! |
From the scenes and imagery i saw of her from the OG, i think i actually prefer how she looks in the remake, stunning shot. |

| Ataru acted more respectable than expected when it came to those cursed boxing gloves. Second half was even better even if Lum's disguise wasn't that hard to see through and it was predictable that she wouldn't have actually left him in trouble despite her first intentions. i've seen the entire og series but can't remember the exact episode number with the same plot (watched the first 35/40 in early 2019 and the rest in 2021), but considering this didn't have a late december holiday season setting, the remake is in advantage. |
 |
| Finally a good episode for Lum x Ataru! After all those months he just has not noticed that Lum is cute lmao |

moozooh said: Space_Michael_5 said: I love that they still gave a nod to that old episode by making the fake girl's name "Otoko Kumino" instead of the manga's "Shinobi Nobade". Wasn't it already like that originally? Actually yeah, you're right. The version I read translated it like this, but it was a fan translation from around 2001. I checked the Viz version has it properly read as "Otoko Kumino" like in your pic. Interesting how scanlations can just stick around like that. |
| The moment between Lum and Ataru at the end of the episode was easily the best scene in the anime thus far. Lum could've easily let Ataru look like an idiot, so good for her for helping Ataru despite him treating her terribly. Clearly it paid off now that Ataru noticed that Lum is incredibly cute. |
| Super cute ending. I am starting to understand Lum is a top tier waifu. Also them holding hands put a big smile on my face. |
| God damn this show really can look so beautiful when it wants to. A really sweet second half, left me with a smile! Probs my fav episode so far, was just really well done on every level, Lum is such the perfect girl. |
| LOL, your opinion is wrong! |
| I haven't watched the original anime, but please can we get at least some character development since that would be appreciated. It kinda seems like there's a chance for some development at the end of this ep so I still have hope. |
| She bought all that food for only 3000 yen?! Even when talking inflation into account that seems unlikely. I wonder if she just lied to these guys. |
| Fantastic episode, even better ending. I was THIS close to being annoyed with the way Ataru treats Lum but having that moment at the end definitely provoked some feelings. |
The World Suffused with Sound.  |
| Actually pretty darn decent. I tend to find both Ataru and Lum to be almost equally annoying but kinda understand that Lum is a bit of a punishment for how scummy Ataru is. Yet this episode allowed them to just be on screen without needing to scream every second and it was really nice. Made a huge difference and I liked that there's a glimmer of them getting along better or at least being on the same wavelength. It's good. |
| lum is way too good for ataru |
 |
| A YouTube channel uploaded the classic episode 10, which is the equivalent to Episode 5B of the Remake. Watch it before it gets taken down again. |
| Lum in casual clothes warms the heart. And yay I remember this episode as being one of the best in the whole series. "Has Lum always been this attractive?" Always makes me remember that Ataru is such an idiot. About the least he can do is getting his ugly mutt to land the punches aimed at Lum's face. |

| This was actually a really good emotional moment of character development, I'm surprised |
| Rewatched in italian dub, second half of this episode was even more beautiful, not just the ending but the funny reactions around the fake love letter by everyone. |
|
| Best episode so far I'd say, really damn good. Both halves, first was funnier, second actually hit really well, very nicely directed episode. |
 |
| He would never hit a girl, but sexually assault them? That's another story. That guys morals are all over the fucking place. |

Yeah Lum's super pretty no matter what she wears. I like her a bunch. Yep very good one. I love romcoms. El-Melloi said: She bought all that food for only 3000 yen?!

| @CarbonMD If you use a JPY inflation calculator you'll get different results, which I'm guessing are more accurate. |

| You are right. 3000 yen in 1978 equates to 4900 yen in 2023. Avg yen inflation was only 1% per year for cumulative inflation of 62%. Compared to 367% cumulative inflation for the dollar. Then yen sure is a stable currency. |
