| Oh, Lum's hometown and grandfather. How interesting. Her home is how I kinda imagined would be like, same with her family and their personalities. What did freak me out slightly is the weird guy in the dark hood. Seems so out of place compared to the others. Glad to also see Sakura appear on screen a bit. |
 |
| Here we go, entering the final arc for the third time. During Onsen Mark's class, Lum drifts off to sleep and suddenly jolts awake, screaming from a terrifying nightmare of a shadowy figure approaching her as a young girl, claiming it will return to take her as its bride when she comes of age. After school, she confides in Ataru about her nightmare, but he's more interested in chasing girls as usual. After their typical argument, Lum heads back to her UFO, where her father contacts her via video call; her great-grandfather's missing cryo-stasis capsule has been found after twenty years, and he wants to meet her now that he's awake. Meanwhile, Ataru finds himself at Sakura's shrine, where ominous signs prompt her to consult a crystal ball, revealing a vision of Lum engulfed in darkness. By the time he returns home, it's nighttime, and he learns that Lum is visiting her parents. Ten teases him, suggesting that this time Lum might not come back, given their recent argument. On Oniboshi, Lum's great-grandfather finally learns that Lum is a girl, sending him into a panic. This is really tugging at my heartstrings now. |

| The last episode was just a prologue. Now we're officially in the endgame. It feels so surreal. They didn't conclude the Ultra-Colorful Couple's Look chapter from the last episode which was a bit disappointing. But I kinda expected that this would happen. Lum's great-grandpappy drops a bombshell. He basically engaged his future progeny to some mushroom-loving freak. I guess that's another trope that gets heavily recycled in Takahashi's next series, Ranma 1/2. Gojo Rupa looks so hot. He's tall, cool-looking, and has a great voice and stuff. It's almost a shame that he's an idiot like any other. Ataru acts like he doesn't care. But it did seem like he cared about Lum a lot when he picked up her horns and almost went after Rupa. What a cliffhanger! This episode looked very good. It seems like the production value for the last few episodes is going to be high which is how it should be. But it remains to be seen if it will be as good as the movie. One thing I really liked was that there seem to be new eyecatches for all the Boy Meets Girl episodes. This episode's eyecatch was the cover page of Chapter 357 Boy Meets Girl Act 2 Will You Marry Me?  I hope there will be new eyecatches in the next 3 episodes. Also, if you didn't realize it already, the last OP also begins with referencing Chapter 356 Boy Meets Girl Act 1 Pitch Black cover page. I like how the eyecatch and the next episode preview play a different segment of the OST LUM. I also liked how the title of the episode was revealed at the end. Rupa's new VA Nakamura Yuichi does an amazing job. He's best known for voicing Gojo from JJK which I didn't watch so Idk much about that. But he sounds terrific here. Upa's VA Cho also did a great job. He played Jaken in Inuyasha and he fits Upa really well. I wonder who played Lum's great-grandpappy. In the next episode, we're probably gonna get Inori Minase's character who's best known for voicing Rem from Re:ZERO. It's wild that we have the voice actresses for both Rem and Emilia from Re:ZERO in Urusei Yatsura. Can't wait! Also, on a related note, the Urusei Yatsura Twitter account posted a small sample of the new cover of Urusei Yatsura's first ED Uchuu wa Taihen da! by the new cast and it honestly sounds amazing. I can't wait for the full version! |

| As far as I understand, 03:15 this was a reference to the magnificent Ranma, who doesn’t know this is one of the main characters of Akane Tendou. |
| lmao's every time the ole dude laughed as expected DRAMA boy this young lad is going to have hell to pay to Ataru's jealous wrath of LOVE! |
When you remember that this work also belongs to Rumiko Takahashi... |
 |
| Here we are again. The beginning of the end. The episode served more as an exposition of the big picture of what may come, but was still very entertaining. Personal highlight: Sakura's recipe...eh..questioning her ball ("tomoato sauce, mozarella"). Wonderful.😋 The fact that Lum's grandpa was simply forgotten during the move is also typical Takahasi. Humor, that kind of humor.😂 It's also nice to see Ataru's secret jealousy, which he can't hide so easily.😁 0451 said: What I also noticed is the pacing of this episode. While the last episodes often went one after the other, the scenes here really took their time. e.g. Rupa's arrival at the school - that was something where you saw the carriage with the flying pigs in the air for a relatively long time and the whole thing was built up a bit dramaturgically.This episode looked very good. It seems like the production value for the last few episodes is going to be high which is how it should be. In terms of pacing, this time it was pretty close to the original series. I think it's great that the finale isn't rushed, but is instead properly honored with 4 episodes. I'm really looking forward to next week when the story really gets going.😃 |
| Looks like I’m not the only one that caught that Ranma 1/2 reference when Ataru tried to get Akane’s number lol, it helps that I’ve been watching it recently to notice it. And man, we’re really in the end game now huh, we’re not in the juicy stuff yet but this episode set everything up, it introduced the plot of Lum being married off to another man by her grandpa before she was even born, and the man himself appeared, being Rupa, he looks and sounds great in the remake, and he’s still a goofy ass so it’s hard to feel really threatened by him but this is Urusei Yatsura after all, no matter the situation there is always some goofiness afoot. And based on my memory it seems things are going very similarly to the movie with maybe a little more time for certain scenes to breath, which I was hoping for giving 4 episodes are being dedicated to this arc. No complaints so far, I think they’re doing a great job with this atm, but what I’m really looking forward to should be coming soon, being one of my all time favorite Urusei Yatsura babes, can’t wait. |
| they are cooking with the final arc but i'm sad we're almost at the end. loved this episode, sakura moments like the incantation being food and the old senile man were especially hilarious. yuichi nakamura doing an amazing job as always. him, kamiya and miyano in the same scene feels very iconic already. |
 |
| It's nice to see they dedicate their time to make new eyecatch for this specific arc based on the manga chapter cover. I wonder if they would introduce the new one again based on the last few chapters. Ataru was visibly more serious and jealous at the same time. Always like this version of him the best and so far it's not disappointing. There are heavy semblances of Ranma here and there whether it's arranged marriage, those piggies and Akane when picked on by Ataru. The mushroom cast are pretty good and let's see if they nailed Carla's character next week. |

| Can’t believe we only have a few more episodes left 😩 the start of the end of this. Please I need a remake of the remake or a movie or something can’t let my babies go yet… Can’t stop laughing at how this all essentially started because of Lum’s great grandfather being thirsty 😂 everything has a price, but who would’ve thought it would be his great granddaughter paying it all these years later.. Ataru is gonna really have to buckle down and confront his true feelings about Lum if he’s gonna save her. Can’t wait to see this play out |
 |
| Damm Sakura rocks that miko outfit. How does one lose track of one's family members thats staying at their house though. Sure was a rather curious chant that she used to activate the summoning though. Rupa clearly didn't get the best education it seems. Still gotta hand it to their kidnap plan though. Have to say that the darkness arc started off with quite the bang. |

| Finally it's time for what's probably the final arc of the series (unless a movie is announced shortly after). Setting up the conflict with the Darkness Domain from the last scenes of the last episode to getting a close up of Rupa, it seems that now the stakes are high as Lum is being forced to marry him. Ataru will have to stop them and also come to terms with his feelings for her. Will it finally be time for a kiss? I think maybe but all in due time. |

| Damn all of that only because the great grandfather tried to sell the daughter he didn't have back then so now that the family finally has a daughter Lamu is forced to marry the great grandson... it's horrible how they made her lose her powers because of the poisoned ring :/ Maybe Ataru will finally care about her and fix the situation... |
 |
| Sassy Crystal Ball. Lum's great grandfather thought he had a way out of Upa's swindle as he only had sons. The blunder transcended generations Lum is now caught up in it. If Upa eventually found a mate then who's to say his great-grandson wouldn't? Unless he swindled other aliens this way, getting them to sell off their female descendants for marriage. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| This is it, the Final Arc begins!! It's all getting serious from now on, but the comedy timing still hit the mark as usual. Damn they got Yuuichi Nakamura too?? Ataru, Please bring back Lum 🙏 |
 |
| Wow, appears a new boy adn wants married with Lum!!! kekeke |
| From the OP visuals I knew it was gonna be something like this but still annoying, the old kidnap the heroine trope. Anyway I hope Lum's family will do something and ofc Ataru. Go get your girl back. |
 |
| Ataru is always slow to admit his true feelings. Now that Lum has been kidnapped by Rupa, it's sink or swim for Ataru to get her back! |
 |
| We are starting the most dark and serious arc. |
| And because someone kidnapped her, which will then lead to Ataru going on a rescue mission.. it'll be concluded that they do really love each other. Wow, of all ways to convince us lol. Really wanted to see even a speck of change, for both Ataru and Lum as characters, but guess that was too much to ask, sigh. |
 |
| The Boy Meets Girl epilogue arc for the All-Stars series is finally here, signalling the endgame. The cheating Ataru always gets on Lum's nerves, though a word from his father awakening their great-grandfather from his cryosleep, it's a family reunion, though Nurse Sakura has a bad omen about something, which after seeing the crystal ball, confirms that Lum is in danger from darkness. Considering the fear and danger, Ataru is genuinely worried for Lum, something which is clearly stated by their Grandpappy signalling immense danger. It took until the dark figure to come out revealing their 120-year history, which ended up in a wager bet of sending a girl to them in exchange for the antidote. Too bad that their Grandpappy is just too dense to realize the extent of his mistake. That mistake of sending the Dark Dominion out of Lum's family, has one of its servants, Rupa, seek out Lum on Earth, only for Ataru and the gang to find him being a threat from the get-go. Of course, this is all too early in the development, though the ring that he put on her is not easily taken out. Sadly for Ataru, he only sees this the other way as a term of jealousy, and Rupa is just completing his great-grandfather's assignment, which Ataru realized too late with the loss of her horns. The start of the downfall of Ataru and Lum's relationship...for real, this time. |
 |
| A mysterious fiancé pulls up and kidnaps the love interest, there's not much else you need for the final arc of a crazy rom-com. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| We finally met the guy who's supposed to marry Lum. Yuichi Nakamura doing his job as usual. Ataru is jealous. Cute. Looks like she's been kidnapped by Rupa. The rescue gonna be tough. |

How can one not love this anime? xD |
