Ataru's family sure does have it bad. Anyway, a so-so episode introducing Lum's talking baby cousin Ten and featuring said new character feeding a Swallow some sort of ridiculously powerful space candy and eventually turning the Swallow and it's chicks into giant penguins.

I flippin love Ten. He is so adorable. And Ataru's parents are alright, but they pretty much suck, especially the mom.

But anything Rumic World is good in my book!

I hope I'm not the only one but I felt sorry for the "swallow" when it was too big to get up in the tree to it's chicks :(

I chuckled a bit, I guess long series like this really like to start with character introduction and minor episodic plot.

His father doesn't bother me that much, he is just a spineless coward. But his mother is an awful person.

This episode was even worse than the first one! I actually had to stop watching it about 3/4 through, because I was so bored out of my skull.

I'll try another episode or two, but I'm likely going to drop it.

Episode 2, minute 12:30 Ataru went crazy, Is this how romance works?
Also what happened to his running away plan, seemed too perfect to go wrong.

Ten comes from his planet to join Lum and Ataru. Meanwhile, a swallow has grown so large that it has become a giant penguin. I wanted to eat that candy, lol

Lol, his mom is roasting him brutally and dad just doesn't want more trouble. But Ten-chan is a rascal cutie, especially for making Ataru laugh.

And damn, I know some penguin fans who would love the second part of the episode to death. Even I thought it was great.

Hmm, so the cute cousin arrives

Also, I kind of understand why Ataru is behaving the way he is..

Isn't episode 2 about the cab fare?? I'm confused now.
Which one do you want? An Addiction or A Good Life?
A) Addiction - a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure.
B) A Good Life - a progressive expansion of the things that bring you pleasure and includes pleasure through motivation and hard work.

Pretty great, just found the fact that the burnt down house wast resolved and that the massive godzilla sized bird wasnt resolved either. No overarchng plot. Not bad, just different i guess.

This was a random, so random it was funny kind of episode. I think that's how this series is going to be. Hopefully the birds got back to their normal size soon after. The discussion thread seems pretty dead, but it HAS been a long damn time.
