YoshiKiller01 said: That was a pretty good first episode. I like how they readapted the first chapter by making some plot elements closer to the manga than the OG anime was, while still not making completely 1:1 to it. The animation was on point for the most part, and the seiyus did a great job recreating the general feel the OG ones did. My biggest gripe with this first episode though is that the fact they choose to adapt one or my least favorite chapters in the series for the second portion of it. I always thought that one was just needlessly brutal to Ataru, considering he just wanted to see his girlfriend there. Not necessarily a huge fan of the OP and ED songs (The songs in the original anime just can’t be surpassed, lol), but the visuals in them were pretty great. Love all of the extra fanservice in the opening in particular. Anyways, I enjoyed that first episode quite a bit even despite the second half. Definitely looking forward to the next one, especially since it’s adapting the yellow ribbon chapter. I agree with the original OPs and EDs they're quite underrated in my opinion, and I gushed about them so much to my friends ( who sadly don't see how good they are (｡•́︿•̀｡) ) My only complaint with this episode is that it feels a bit too fast paced, especially in the first half. But other than that I quite enjoyed this episode. - The art style is cute - Some parts of the episode look visually interesting (some remind me of Gal to Kyouryuu) - And they did a good job voice acting the chaotic nature of the first few episodes ^^ - I love how they tried to mix Lum's original hair colors with her iconic green one. Overall i'm happy with this start! |

| I like the feel of the characters, just makes me want to watch the original, the Oshii episodes at the very least. The standout here was well, obviously the OP. 2 Yama OPs in a season is crazy. |
| I've seen some of the original and this is amazing too. Kept laughing like every minute lmao |
| I haven't watched the original so I wasn't sure if the supersonic pacing was actually a part of the anime, but reading here I guess not. Yeah that didn't feel normal. |
| Not a masterpiece by any means, but still really good, and one of the 5 anime this season I'll definitely be watching. |
*laughs in Dimple*  |
| Compared to the OG from the 80s, this remake is trash. That's how brilliant the OG is. I tried to give this a chance but it was just painful to me. Urusei Yatsura was the anime that got me into anime. I sad quit this as soon as Ataru opened his mouth. |

phantomfandom said: The pace is so fast that I've to check the manga if it's just this remake's fault. Turn out this episode only adapt two chapters of manga (chapter 1 and 5, skipping 2-3-4), which is pretty standard, if not a little bit low compare to other anime adaptation. So the manga has already a fast, very fast pace... It feels SUPER fast compared to the original anime. |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| Been a huge fan of the original for a while and am still working my way through the old TV series (on YouTube for free!) and films in order. Lum is a great character, lots of fun to watch her get all possessive about her womanizing Ataru and then hilariously punish him accordingly LOL! I really liked how they made it so that her hair flashes poly-chromatically when she discharges her lighting now, makes for a really neat effect with modern digital animation techniques on display. |
 |
| Love the blend of the old school anime aesthetic mixed with the more modern visual style and execution. All the colors are vivid and everything just "pops." This really looks promising. |
| First thoughts... oh fuck, I'm so damn happy right now. Production quality between this the old adaptation and this is night and day. Voice acting is incredible, like the old seiyu have all been aged back down 40 years (Minus Lum, I don't know how to effectively describe it, her voice sounds "colder" here.). Despite the episodes being based on the exact same source material as the 1981 anime, it doesn't feel like a 1 to 1 recreation of that old adaptation, something that haunts other anime re-adaptations like Dragon Quest Dai no Daiboken. If I had to say something I didn't like, the OP and ED aren't my thing. Eh, whatever, I'm just happy the series is finally airing. 9/10 episode. EDIT: Forgot to mention, the pacing seems to be EXACTLY the same as the original, which I'm all for. EDITEDIT: I wish they threw the kuroko into this episode for censorship instead of having no-nip-Lum. |
 |
| Haven't seen the original or read the manga, the pacing seems super fast. Found it more cringe than funny. Likely because characters are super annoying IMO. Hopefully gags won't be repetitive at least. |
| The OG waifu is finally back to grace our screens after about 40 years. I have high hopes that this remake will do well. |
  |
| This show is stupidly insane, but I like it. Lum's new design really rocks. Also I found it neat that Lum's mothers voice actor is the og Lum voice and same goes for Ataru's Father. |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| This reboot looks beautiful. Way to go David Productions. I love how colorful and funky this show is. Both the OP and ED were banger songs. The character designs look so old fashion but also modern at the same time. That game of tag is absolutely ridiculous yet hilarious at the same time. 10 days to grab a pretty girl's horns is just outrageous and dragged out. But I'm all for it. My man Ataru taking Lum's bra for the win. Let's goooo! Lum is easily best girl.  Overall, I had a lot of fun watching it. 5/5 |

The pacing is a thing of the first episodes. In fact, the first part is a bit longer than the original. Ppl is veery blind bcs of the nostalgia. As someone who've seen the entire original show more than 5 times, this version is totally fine. The only thing where it loses it's in the OP and the ED Ahh got it. Still feels abnormal to me though. Hope it stays as a "thing of the first episodes" in the remake too. Actually started the anime because my fav VA (Maaya Uchida) voices Shinobu, but with this MC looks like I'm going to feel bad for her all the time lol. Still rooting for her though. |
| Damn, Lum maybe sexy but shes a bloody nightmare |
| This is my first time consuming Urusei Yatsura, and I was surprised how fast it's pacing was! Well I wonder what you guys think about the pacing. |

The only thing where it loses it's in the OP and the ED I've just watched the OG first episode and the first part is exactly the same, so no, that "feeling" is from ur nostalgia. I just rewatched the first episode too. You can't say the pacing is the same just because the episode starts and concludes in the same way. It's the way scenes are put together that makes it feel fast paced. |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| That was brutal! Why would the mother say she should not have given birth to her son? It's not like it's his fault for having such bad luck and be born on Friday 13th ^^; I love the use of colors in this but I'm not sure if I'll enjoy this show. It felt too rushed for a first episode with too many things happening :/ I will give one this a shot though. I haven't watched the original, so I dunno what I'll expect. |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| I never got a chance to see Urusei Yatsura except for the movies I recently watched. Beautiful dreamer was my favorite out of the 6. I hope hidive gets the rights to the original. I’d also love to see Maison Ikkoku as well. |
 |
| Love the instruments in the ending. The year started out alright with SxF and that cosplay anime series but Lum is now waifu of the year. |
| I watched anime reruns and the movies when I was kid, I read the manga when I started getting into online Manga sites , and now, all these years laters, I get to experience it firsthand in a totally new experience. It's like a familiar dream. Well, in a way it's my childhood, a deja vu nostalgic feeling . To see such an old story adapted to this level, with this amount of care and passion, I don't really know how to explain what it makes me feel. I felt like a kid watching the opening, and seeing all the grand visions of the manga played out in its modern format. The visuals themselves are stunning, and so much has gone into them, so much effort and detail and creativity. The voice acting is great and the soundtrack is so full of energy. It feels like how as a kid i saw the original story, just a lens of so much wonder and excitement in a ridiculous story. Truly worth every moment waiting for it, the joy this episode brought is entirely indescribable. The opening and ending are so perfect, I've just fallen in love with every part it all over again. I love my favorite alien LUM.. If Ranma ½ get a remake like, I'd probably break down and cry.. I'm overwhelmed with joy. |
 |
| David production really did a mesmerizing job getting thd modern remake to resembles the original artstyle. They should go and do the entire original anime every episode, every ova, special, and movies.. Come on david |
| |
| The only way to watch this is to turn your brain off. It is very tropey and I honestly don't know why I'm going to be watching it. |

| Glad to see more Urusei Yatsura! The visuals look really good, and poor Ataru is never catching a break. Best part of the episode was when Ataru got revenge on Cherry for pushing him into harm's way, and he unluckily got struck by lightning. I'm excited to see this classic catch its stride. |
 |
| The animation is great but Lum is way too annoying. I'll probably drop this |
 |
| I don't even know what to think about the show, I'm just worried about Kamiya Hiroshi's throat having to scream all the time, but hey Choromatsu finally did it a got a girlfriend. |
| First time seeing Urusei Yatsura and I liked it. I really liked the fact that David Production kept the 80s feel from the original. In this episode we are introduced to the love triangle between Ataru the lecherous idiot, Shinobu the childhood friend, and Lum the sexy alien girl. The dynamics between these three characters is a lot different from To-Love-Ru in which everyone is trying to get along while in UY everyone gets in their own way causing unnecessary drama. This is a rather episodic series so pacing shouldn't be an issue unless you're a die hard fan of the source material. This begins the misadventures of Ataru and the obnoxious alien Lum. |
 |
| I enjoyed it a lot. I only watched the original Urusei Yatsura + all movies/etc 2 yrs ago but I still wanted more. I've got no complaints at the moment. |

So to see her work get some love, I’ll always be there to support that. |

| I don't know exactly what I was expecting, but I did not expect something like that It almost feels like an old-school version of Gintama, both being a comedy and having aliens invade earth. but without this love-triangle theme. Very vibrant colors and the episode felt so "over the top". You couldn't "relax" for more than 5 seconds Production was very good, both animation and music-wise. And as expected, the voice actors did an amazing job Anyway, interesting start and I'll definitely keep watching it. Don't know if I'll finish it, because I may change my mind later, but until then, this is easily a unique experience, which is a plus in my book. |

| David Production really brough their A game here! So happy to see Urusei Yatsura return in all its glory T_T |
 |
| Haven't watched the original one but this one seems pretty good so far. Love the main duo. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
Visuals are pretty, Ueasaka Sumire is perfect as Lum, OP song is catchy. Though, it's super disappointing that they heavily tamed down the source material if it comes to fanservice in this adaptation. I don't think that original adaptation would be as popular as it was (and still is) without it.  |
