| Things are probably gonna go back to normal, but it was still nice to see Ataru like that, you fucking tsun, it was a pretty adorable second half. First half was pretty funny though, we finally got to meet Mama Lum. |
 |
| Looks like on top of being a womanizer Ataru is also a masochist, why is he sad when the slutty abusive Pikachu bitch is out of the way. Hated this episode 1/5. |

| i found it wholesome that ataru was walking around with the lum doll in his pocket,, and the scene of him crying in bed was kinda heartbreaking. really impressed with the second half of this episode |

| best episode till now. ataru finally realised how much he's actually used to being lum around him. ataru crying got me teary-eyed too lol. man needed a reminder of how blessed he is to have a girl like lum with him. these mc's moms for some reason are even hotter than the mc themselves. lum's mom >>>>>>> lum. great episode overall. the comedic moments were nice as well. 5/5. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| the parents day were cool!! kekeke |
| ayo was Ataru a tsundere the entire time |
 |
| Ah yes, Tigress woman voiced by Lum's original VA has landed for the PT meeting. Lum's a little rusty with translation when conveying Mendou's mother's words to her own (the butler is upset the lady asks her son directly to do tasks). Wrong kind of proposal. Dismissing Lum before she could explain something important (her passport as she's an Alien), Ataru is faced with at least a week without his wife. Ataru went to all the places they interacted, the riverbank where they held hands, the restaurant where Lum pretended to be a different girl so Ataru wouldn't be the victim of his classmate's cruel prank.. Once she's back, it's same old same old to him but with the doll with the microphone, she knows... |

| That second half was actually really sweet, definitely one of the best parts so far. There was a lot more focus on the characters, which feels a bit jarring because they seem a lot more real compared to how they've been in previous episodes. The original was more gradual in building up to this point. Speaking of the episode in the original, it was darker and more raw whereas this one is a lot more warm, and it doesn't hit as hard because you don't get as much a sense of Ataru's pain. No Kokoroi Bosoi Na, but the music is still nice on the emotional scenes. |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| I loved the entire episode. Thought the humor in the first part was the best we've seen so far. And the second part was as strong if not stronger than the episode where Lum gets into disguise to save Ataru from embarrassment when his friends write that fake letter. Fantastic work by David Pro. Really like the usage of colors in the scenes too. |
| i know that this is the 10th episode but i really have to say this: The way Lum speaks is really annoying! 1/5. |
 |
| First half was very characteristic of David Productions style: flashy palettes, multiple colorful kana characters representing sounds and, of course, a Jojo reference. Nice to see Lum's mom appear. Effectively, Ataru ended up being such a tsundere in the second half. Very typical development for the Rumiko Takahashi's romcom style. It was a nice and touching episode. |

AIonso said: No problem.0451 said: Very good episode. But there were some things that kept it from being a "great" episode. Let me explain. I think this episode showcases the "problem" with this Remake very well. It's faithful to the manga almost to a fault. Usually, manga accuracy for anime is a good thing. But there were a few points in this episode where David Production could've taken some creative liberties to enhance the experience even more. Yes, the Remake does make changes but only when it's absolutely necessary. Otherwise it's a pretty safe and straightforward adaptation of the manga compared to its 1981 counterpart. Not saying all the changes in the og show were good but they were commendable IMO and some even improved upon the source material. Lum's Mother is voiced by none other than the OG Lum herself, Fumi Hirano. It was very nostalgic hearing her again! My only issue was that the last episode had a very misleading post-credits scene. It implied that Ataru's Dad, who's voiced by the OG Ataru, Toshio Furukawa was going to be in 'Parents' Day Horrors' instead of Ataru's mom but it was just bait. So it was disappointing that the OG Ataru and Lum couldn't get any sort of reunion scene in this Remake which obviously would've been fanservice but I'm sure everyone would've loved it. The 2nd part 'Since Your Parting' adapts arguably the most beloved Urusei Yatsura story of all time. The original 1982 adaptation episode 44 was voted to be the best episode of the entire Urusei Yatsura series once in 1986 before the final episode aired (and was rebroadcast as episode 194) and then a 2nd time in the Rumic mega poll in 2019 in Japan. So David Production had a lot to live up to. And I'd say they largely succeeded cause this was by far the most beautiful episode of the Remake. It's obvious the production value was higher for this episode than the others. I'd say it exceeded my expectations. We even got a similar scene to what made the original episode 44 so special but only one thing was missing, the insert song "Kokorobosoi na". I think if the Remake episode of Since Your Parting was one whole episode it could've had its own version of "Kokorobosoi na" (of course the song would probably be something else) but what we got was still pretty damn good. But I just think the original episode 44 directed by Mamoru Oshii is still unbeaten. If you're a Remake-only then do yourself a favor and watch episode 44 "After You've Gone" of the original Urusei Yatsura. I promise it'll be worth it. This episode set the bar high for me. I can't wait for future Urusei Yatsura episodes. They have the potential to be even better than this episode. Next week it's Ryoko time baby! Thanks for explanation! SMtHl said: People wrongly attribute Lum as the "first tsundere" because of reading it on Wikipedia when it was Ataru all along. It reveals Ataru is secretly a tsundere in a perfect way. |
| Aww shucks, this episode was way too adorable. Too bad Ataru is going to go back to his usual shenanigans starting next episode but at least now I know who the first tsundere was. |
 |
| This is the best episode so far. Lum OG VA voicing Lum Mother? That's amazing. The feels, Ataru finally realized he missed Lum so much. That was so cute, i love it. Ataru Tsundere confirmed? |
 |
| I was thinking for 9 episode that this wasn't a very deep anime and pretty generic episodic anime telling old fashioned jokes, it was alright but nothing too much. This episode, however, it was GOOD, it makes me realise the small bits that makes this anime enjoyable, and how the dynamic is very important between the characters. It was nice. |
| I like everything, ok |
Nice to see Lum's mother visit earth to see her daughter in the parent-teacher conference.  Very wholesome moment. Also funny how Lum's mother destroyed Mendo's mom's oxcart. And Mendo's mom wants her son to complain for her. Lum tries to translates Mendo's mom's words to her mother but it all came off to a misunderstanding lol. Translations gone wrong. Later into the episode, Lum says bye bye to Ataru and leaves during the night. Only leaving her self made doll for him to reminiscence. Her disappearing made it unintentionally emotional for Ataru as he starts to miss her. Luckily for Ataru, the doll had a microphone chipped so Lum could hear him crying for her. Lum shortly returns to earth with hopefully a renewed passport. The camera shots of the fall leaves and the music as she makes her return displays a tender moment. You could briefly see Ataru's face feeling relief. I thought something special was gonna happen but Ataru brush it off and walks to school like it was nothing. Lum definitely noticed tho as she clings to him. |

| Even if i can't remember all of the original 16 and 44 episodes (seen respectively in 2019 and early 2021) and especially the latter has been cut in half, this was very enjoyable. Couldn't even remember that Mendo's mother was actually a character and her looks are so improved, even if she has her own way to be weird as it runs in the family. Fumi Hirano returns as the mother of her original character and still sounds fresh, it's amazing, and also a nice passing the torch scene to Sumire Uesaka who is doing a good job. Even if... no appearance of Ataru's father and his son's original seiyuu, it seemed teased and instead... "Is this all the screen time I g..-?" ok, that was funny, but he still had more of his dad that so many people expected to show up for very particular reasons. Second half... afraid it will lose its value again 'cause status quo is god and Ataru will never actually learn, but it was again a well portrayed "can't live with her, can't live without her" plot no matter how he seemed out of character, crying, feeling empty, and looking for her in already historical settings of the remake even if just 10 episodes in. Mendo.. with such a private army he can literally have grass cut, it was funny how Mamoru Miyano sort of slipped into his other character Kotaro Tatsumi with those yells, but all's well what ends well. ... so the parents in Japan wear those elegant traditional clothes even for the meetings with teachers? Ataru's mom looked so good once again. |
 |
| i loved this i think i cri a little |
| Ah yes the best way to avoid humiliation on parent-teachers day is to make sure it doesn't even start in the first place. Well played Lum's mom.. way to save your son in law. Second part went with the feels. At the very least we saw Ataru genuinely cares about Lum. |
 |
| The bit with the mothers was pretty amusing. Though, Mendo's mom seems ridiculous. And, in the second half, as always, poor Lum. The part with that Lum plush in Ataru's pocket was legitimately sad. Too bad, even if she comes back, I doubt he'll appreciate her. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| This episode was so fcking sweet. I teared up there at the end. Lum is so sweet and Ataru doesn't realize that he cares for her. You don't appreciate what you have till you lose it. Also, Lum's mom is beautiful. |
 |
| Yeah and don't forget that Lum is one of the candidates for Rum! By the way in the original Fumi Hirano voiced not only Lum, but also her mother...so this is meta and in the same time reprise. |
| Man, didn't expect to be touched by a gag anime. |
| uh oh! |
| Wonderful adaptation. So true to the manga. And it's great to hear the original Lum as well. SO happy that they invited her in to work on this. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| When I saw that doll, I knew it's going to be "Forget me not" episode. |
| That second half was the best segment so far, I'd say. Hits that thing I really like in comedy series like this where they add emotional weight to the silly characters without dropping the wackiness on their personalities, but having it add to the story. Other example on my mind is Osomatsu-san, haha. Super wonderfully paced segment. |
 |
| That second part of this episode was cute. Ataru really appreciates the time he pass with Lum, he just don't want to admit. |
| Great episode… |
