| Hilarious how some people can't stand based characters like Ataru. Another reason to enjoy the return of Urusei Yatsura, it's bringing something unconventional to the seasonal landscape. Kamiya Horisho is fitting the character almost too well and I can't wait for Sawashiro as Sakura-sensei. David Pro succeeded at adjusting the character designs to 2022. A rather great start for this remake, even tho it still can't match the charm of the OG series. |

Swiss_Bohemian said: Dude is probably just to biased to see that the 2022 opening is better than the original one. Yeah it might have been good for the era but times have changed and what is considered good then is not what is considered good now.Vhailor said: I said a dumb Tik Tok video, not a modern song. The opening is just more soulless, low effort trendy bullshit. The original's opening and song were much more creative, original and charming. You can't really compare the iconic opening by Kouji Nanke with the new one. Kouji Nanke is an exceptional animator with a great sense of timing and classic squash & stretch animation with abstract backgrounds, but Shingo Natsume is also highly regarded in the industry and among fans for his high production value openings and great genga cuts. The new opening gets a lot of praise, you hating it (which is fine btw, to each its own) are in the minority. |

Smoothbird said: As long as the pacing isnt to fast (which is a possibility) I do think this anime will be one of the best if not the best anime of the season. I understand having to censor certain parts because what was acceptable in 1981 is not what is acceptable today. Other than that this first episode was *chefs kiss*Not much anime make me laugh, but the comedy in this anime is pretty top notch. The pacing is great, and the romance is sprinkled in very finely. There has been nothing to hate about it so far! |
|
| Never heard of the original series but this was such a chaotic first episode. You can also kind of tell how old the original is with the way the mc and girls act towards each other. |
 |
| I didn't feel like this would be something I would be really into even in its original form. Inuyasha was more my speed than romcoms with old perverted humor. However, I will give it a fair chance since they went through the trouble of modernizing the animation, and so far, it's alright. I have no idea how they will keep this concept fresh without it beiing repetitive. |
| I'm into it. Art style is great, pacing felt extremely fast though. I'm gonna watch the OG movies along with this series. Just gotta figure out the appropriate times to mix them in. |
 |
| Starting and Ending songs are absolute banger! Loved the dumb, and simple humour. |
| if the whole show keeps being built on misunderstandings then its not a show for me. tho the animation looks great and the characters seem good |
 |
| As someone who has never seen the original anime or read the manga, this first episode absolutely hooked me. Possibly even hooked me enough to go back and watch or read the whole series. I also really enjoyed the OP, it had a great style. |
| The art style is really nice and the plot is so stupid lol |

Keytee1 said: I do not understand your comment. Ok, let's start with the beginning:nightcrawlercyp said: 3:35 to 3:42 for example when the father talks. who also btw way looks weird, not alike an elderely japanese man with horns. Also about knowing jack about good animation maybe but I studied anymation for over 20 years and experimented with various forms, mostly for games but still. So saying I do not know jack shit... is a bit presumptive Also is not something easy to explain : different sounds mean different mouth shapes but the mouths many times are animated like ventriloguist dummies Weird, you do have a 90's anime Gokuudo Manyuuki as one of your favorites, which has typical anime animation for most of the time (Which i love, 90's anime animation and styles are my favorite), but you consider lip flaps to be bad animation... can you explain more? I need to understand you first before arguing with you. 1. I am not a nit picker when it comes to animation, but when you remake a classic I expect it better than the original or at least as good. When you make bad from every pov from animation to the the joke delivery to the colors tyen I am gonna nitpick. Why bother remaking it in the first place. Shaman King was a good remake. i did not have the patience to rewatch it but they did a good job. This is not. 2. Gokuudo Manyuuki is all about the comedy, You have no time to look at the technical details because is joke after joke after joke...no time to rest. 3. My main problem is not the lip flaps is everything. The characters no longer have the charm they had, the jokes are no longer funny because the anime explains every cultural reference to you... I mean would you think a standup act is funny if the performer felt the need to explain every little thing to you? Also the perosnality of the characters is all wrong. I mean yeah Ataru like to chase skirts but is not such a cut and dry thing. Lum's character is also much different . I mean everything in this remake has the delicacy of a hammer hititng your head. Also cherry is much more intentionally evil than chaotic . Inthe manga and original anime he is more like trying to be good but gets derailed by his desires and incompetence, but here he is plain evil. Also the fact they skipped so much |
| I used to watch Ranma 1/2 on TV when arriving home after junior high. Since then I loved both that artstyle and humor from Rumiko Takahashi. I had never watched the original Urusei Yatsura, though I always knew how iconic Lum character was for the whole industry since its conception back in the 80s. I liked this first episode from the reboot. It fulfilled my expectations. |

| i'm probably one of very few people who are watching this without watching the original or reading the manga and let me say that this actually looks pretty good. a nice light hearted, fun, and unique show that offers a lot of entertainment. could be a sleeper show for sure. |
| Damn, I didn't watch the original, but this is a funny ass show. I didn't expect the characters to act the way they do, like the monk guy (un)intentionally bullying Ataru or them to have this goofy love triangle, but it was fun nonetheless. Will watch the next few episodes and then decide if it's worth watching till the end, since I don't think it'll be able to keep my attention that long with this kind of premise. |

| i loved the manga but paused it - im glad i did because its animated so good! ive only seen some random eps of the old anime on tv, but this feel so much better to me. the animation is great (but i love davidpro in general lol. ive waited fire force s3 instead of reading just because of how greatly animated it is :3), and obviously same for seiyuus! i especially love kamiya as ataru :3 and i like that ataru's dad's seiyuu is ataru's old one! i dont get why people complain about the nipples though. its a comedy, its not an ecchi/hentai. one thing that i find strange is how they didnt update the setting to 2022 like banana fish and kiseijuu did though. ex the crt tv in ataru's home. it obviously doesnt ruin the series, but its a strange choice imho. |

| Quite nice to see a remake of this series, nice to see how they stayed quite close to the original art yet still utilising more new techniques. The only thing that they will never tip is the amazing OP&ED OST from the original, those were just spot on, the new ones lack quite a lot compared to it. But other than that, I'm looking forwards to see future episodes of this remake! |
 |
| Honestly, it's a pretty great start. Love the art and the comedy is pretty good as well. The OP and ED are fire! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| A great start to the reboot. I saw a couple of episodes of the original years ago and enjoyed them. This was just as if not more enjoyable. It was fast paced and kept the laughs coming. The opening and endings songs were fire. I was excited to watch this show and it has met the hype. |
| this show seems zoated |
| fine introduction, not too much is changed as expected from the original pilot (seen twice in late 2006 and early 2019). Never been a fan of Cherry/Sakurambo and he was already being a trouble in the very beginning. One of my two best friends is a real enthusiast of the franchise and has sort of left spoilers about the early / late appearance (or entire lack thereof) of some of the main cast. OP has some really cool visuals and i already enjoy more it than most of the 80's ones of the OG show, the ED not so much (even if this is isn't even a direct comparison to Cosmic Cycling that is by far my favorite Urusei Yatsura song). Sumire Uesaka already seems a good casting choice for the main character. |

| Wow, I'm impressed...this is probably one of the worst first episodes I've ever seen. The comedy/slapsticks humor was not funny and was way overdone, the characters are annoying as hell, and the premise is stupid. I really, really want to like this considering how much I like Inuyasha, but this is not it. This reminds me more of Ranma 1/2, except the author took everything I hate about it and dropped it into one show. The main characters are pretty much a mash of tropes I detest the most - pervert, abusive tsundere, noisy, prone to misunderstandings, etc. I love the visuals and animation so I might give it three episodes, but this looks like a hard drop for me. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Stunning to say the least. Finally getting into this series. I'll watch this remake then eventually jump into the OG properties. |
| Decent first episode. I guess this is going to be an episodic show. Cool. |
