| Haven't watched the original one but this one seems pretty good so far. Love the main duo. |

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.  |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| I hope I'll end up liking Lum's character as the story goes on since I jumped into this show without any knowledge of the original and I'm not a huge fan of bitchy characters. |
 |
| very fun afterall |
 |
| I love that they are adapting this classic in a modern style while still retaining a lot of the spirit of the original. It was funny hearing the main character yell for the first time... I knew right away it was Araragi-san. Really fun and can't wait to see more |

| never seen the original as its just way too long, but i knew the waifu would be strong with this one i like that the artstyle is still 80s looking and that the setting is also from decades ago, 70s if im correct also love the homages to manga in the OP Lum was one of my first anime girl images in the early 2000s so despite never having watched, theres still some nostaglia in the character |
   |
| It gave me serious early Black Clover flashbacks. This guy was yelling literally entire episode. |
 |
| Cute and comedic fun XD |
| Felt like a fever dream in some parts but had me laughing out loud |
| contains all stuff like the battle of marriage and love triangles, well I hope it doesn't take itself too seriously but so far it's enjoyable, maybe I'm really into the faster paced comedy here |

| I never watched the original series, so I never got what the fuss was about. Now that I've watched this, I dunno if I can take another god knows how many episodes of it if I'm honest. I get it's supposed to be wacky comedy, but for me there comes a point where if everyone in the show is just gonna act like a cunt then I usually stop laughing. Yeah even as someone who never watched the show I understand its significance (was a big step towards popularising localisation of anime in the West, and Lum is labelled as the OG waifu), but I'm gonna say no, I didn't find it funny. Everyone in the show sucks. Also this isn't getting dubbed by the BBC so there's another point not in its favour. |

Lolipops said: After watching it, I just asked myself: "Why would I watch this over the original?" The answer for me is that I won't be. It isn't as good as the original. Agreed. I've seen little of the original because it's not very easy to find online. |
| this was a good first ep its really funny and lums pretty cute can't for ep 2 |

| Huge Urusei Yatsura fan here excited to watch Urusei Yatsura for the first time |
| Throughout this year I’ve been watching little bits of Urusei Yatsura, I made a decent little chunk around 30 some episodes, and I gotta say I’m incredibly happy with this new series. I was afraid they would change Ataru’s character or change the comedy of the show, and so far they thankfully haven’t, bless David Productions man. And I do really like the new art style, it feels new and fresh while at the same time nostalgic for classic anime from the time, it’s a really nice mix. And not only that the show is amazing looking so far too, it looks so crisp. And wow, while I would have liked remasters of the original OP and ED these new ones are jams for sure, love those visuals, they’re immediately contenders for best of the season, just like this is a contender for my anime of the season. I can’t wait for more, I’ll need to watch some more of the OG in the mean time as well. |
| Honestly, I am probably not a very good person, because I would have instantly accepted the marriage with Lum. Shinobu, sorry... but if I have the choice between an annoying somewhat cute but plain looking girl vs an annoying sexy oni alien who doesn't understand the concept of clothing and only wears tiger striped underwear everywhere... I am picking the alien. XD As for the actual series, it's very old school slap stick comedy. I may give it a few more eps just to see if it keeps me interested, but as of now... the only thing that I like about it so far is Lum. |
| I am become bunny, fluffing of worlds. |
AcceleratorAngel said: You realize its not 1981 anymore right? There is only so far that anime creators are able to take sexually suggestive scenes anymore without getting some kind of legal backlash or just outrage from the public.It's censored compared to the original. Also the original has for its time smooth animation all around. This remake looks cheap besides the good voice cast. |

wildhood said: I actually like that they didnt update the technology or anything like that. It shows just how faithful David is to the remake at least in my opinion.And the trend of anime remakes continue. Here it is: the Urusei Yatsura remake. I started Urusei Yatsura (1981) back in 2015. Still watching it to this day lol. It's okay, I guess. Just another episodic comedy show. Was never a big fan of the series and in no rush to finish it. I also never read the manga, so I can't tell how faithful of an adaptation it is. All I know is that they are planning to adapt specific chapters from the manga, instead of adapting all the chapters. Meaning that the anime is going to skip a lot of the chapters of the manga. Lum is so much hotter in the remake. Apparently, Lum is the first tsundere, according to Wikipedia. It seems the remake did not update the technology. The show seems to be set around 1978-1981. It did update the artstyle though, which is the artstyle Rumiko Takahashi currently uses. But the 1981 version's artstyle is still closer to the original manga's artstyle. Enjoyable start so far. The original showed Lum's nipples in the first episode, but the remake didn't, but whatever, the rest of the 1981 version of the anime didn't show any more nudity after episode 1. |
|
| REAL ANIME IS BACK LETS GOOOO AND MINAMI ON THE OP TOO WE ARE FEASTING. I LOVE how David pro have kept the same 80s feel and vibe with updated animation quality. Really shows that they intend to be faithful to the source material and give it the justice it deserves. I can’t wait to see how this goes. Really good first episode |
 |
| Ataru is so annoying, they portrayed him perfectly. |

| i haven't watched the original series but i really enjoyed this first episode. the opening and endings were both fire and not to mention the animation |
 |
| Pretty fun premiere. Never watched the OG Urusei Yatsura, but watched most if not all of Ranma back in the days and the slapstick and jealousy themes from the creator Rumiko are all here. I'm quite impressed with the art quality along with the animation, it does give that 80s vibe but with a very modern look. |
| I loved the little musical quoting of the OP for the 1981 series at the end of the first segment. |
 |
| Ataru actually having fans is so bonkers |
| Of course they didn't have the balls to show Lum's nipples, that's why I hate modern remakes. |
sonictoryuiai said: Of course they didn't have the balls to show Lum's nipples, that's why I hate modern remakes. Wow, for real? This along with everyone whinning because there are no nipples is the hill they are willing to die on? If they had gone for the whole fanservice package the show would had had been presented in a different broadcasting/streaming services along with a different timeslot that would had hindered the amount of viewers. They are doing the right thing by weeding out the worthless viewers that are in just for the fanservice. |
| Loved it! This adaptation captures the spirit of the original so well. And the colours capture the colour illustrations by Takahashi. I'm impressed by how well the new voice actors match the sound and feel of the originals. There was nothing here that jarred me. All-in-all I enjoyed the entire thing. |
| I don't remember adding this to my PTW, but I'm glad I ended up checking this out. Because, wow, the art and animation in this are quite, quite good. Though, I suppose it is David Production. But still, the backgrounds and landscapes especially really caught my eye. The OP/ED are both really good as well. Potentially the best of this season. The premise is obscure enough to be up my alley as well. In general, I was amused the whole way through. It's nice to see some unapologetic silliness. Though, I do feel rather bad for Shinobu. I guess the original showed nipples, but seeing as this one is PG-13, I doubt we'll see any. But, nipples alone are probably worth checking out the original. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| The remake of the series is finally here. I think it's a pretty good adaptation despite the pacing is a bit weird for me. Considering it's just the first episode, it's fine to rush a bit the earlier chapters so it could introduce more characters and can get into far more interesting stories later on. No matter how iconic the OG's first episode is, I think the new series handled the first episode much better than the OG one in terms of characterization. I like how it's a bit different but also more faithful to the manga. Ataru is not so lustful in the first episode and Lum is a bit feistier, it's already done better in the remake. This is the first time I have seen Ataru cheered as a hero and it's nice. The visuals and the coloring of the animation are so vibrant and so appealing to look at. You could hear a bit of OG Ataru's voice in his father when he is passing the baton(raincoat) lol. I hope the new remake could get even more creative with the references and not shy to be more insane and wackier since it's one of UY's strongest appeals. The voice-over of the cast is good but the original one really stuck in my head whenever I think of UY. I still need time to get used to the voice acting the more I watch the remake. The soundtrack of the original is definitely far superior to the remake one. Lastly, I need to mention I love the OP the best so far. It's a freaking love letter or a celebration of UY as a work from the past and how it will also impact the present day. The animated manga panels, space invaders, idol dance, original artworks, UY-related games, dating app, dating sim and more. I can't get over how good the OP is for paying so much respect to legacy and UY's history. Both OP and ED is alright in term of the music and I like how it still captured the synth wave vibe so well. This is a good start for the remake and it could definitely get a lot better from here on. |

| Didn't want to miss the opportunity to finally watch Urusei Yatsura. I was aware of the premise and I had seen the first episode of the original series, so I kind of knew what to expect coming in. It has that classic, over the top humor of the 70s/80s that the series is known for, and it's a fun, comfy watch. But the real standout were the visuals. Throughout the episode, it all looked terrific, especially Lum. I read that this series is more like "the best of" rather than a complete adaptation. I don't mind that per se, because knowing we'll get the best of the series in the best looking way it's ever been is nice. Ultimately, this is a clear love letter to the original series and its author, Rumiko Takahashi (who just celebrated her birthday on October 10th!). You can feel it in the opening, with all the shots of the manga being incorporated. Excited to see more of Lum! |
