davidlionheart said: LMAO yep that was the line that made me laugh to. I believe if I remember correctly that was in the original anime to.Lum is starting to grown on me lol Konan_Edogawa_ said: Mendo is one of my favorites characters in the series. Other than Lum of course as the OG waifu I cant betray her. Lum is starting to grow on me too. The joke that really cracked me up was when Ataru asked Shinobu if she had the hots for mendo, and she was like well yeah he is handsome, cultured and has a ton of money. |

| Seems like things are getting even more chaotic with the addition of this knew character. I'm really not sure where this thing is going, but i guess its only the beginning, so they're still in the process of introducing things to us. Don't want to be too critical of it just yet, when later on there might actually be some plot. |

T3chol3gTr3ndi said: Ten is the worst character. I hope they stay faithful to the manga and we won't get to see him for many episodes to come. I dislike Ten too, so I'm happy Mendo is the one getting the Ten treatment this time (early debut and being added to stories he wasn't around for originally - the pre-airing trailer showed him in Oyuki's debut). |
| +1 girl to call him darling? lmao This new guy is annoying but i guess he'll learn his way. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Damn it, where's TEN?! Mendo is good, yes with such a voice, ma a, but where is the Little One??? Where is the main beauty of the whole cosmos?! And so, the episode is funny, Lum pretty, OP and ED like it more and more. |
| May be some anime? |

| May be some anime? |
| Mendo is already here, cool. Even if being used to Kotaro Tatsumi from Zombieland Saga (not Light Yagami 'cause i saw Death Note in italian dub) his voice is somehow distracting. But... what does he want to do to fellow students who arrive late for lessons if he wins the elections? ... does he want to outdo Prison School? He also criticized Ataru for his nose, even if it's just the standard anime nose seen everywhere. Also, why not Megane as a class representative? Shinobu kicking Ataru behind her like that was cool too. "with low expectations life is a little more happy" well, for once, Moroboshi is right Lum isn't a student yet but already takes part of school trips? And then the male couple gets lost in the cave... imagine if they found Ryoga. |
 |
| Honestly found this episode enjoyable to watch, thinking about going back and reading the manga. |
Lum in casual clothing is bliss  |
Even better with a ponytail. |
| Man, watta lame episode ....... |
| better than the original |

Konan_Edogawa_ said: Oleogm said: Then I guess you are in a big minority there. I like Atatru more if that gives you an idea how much I dislike TenI have to say, when I joined the UY fandom I was impressed everyone hated Ten. I really liked him, even more in the 5th film Where do those two stand in comparison to Asuka, the man-phobic woman that I heard everybody hated more than both of them? |

Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.  |
| Oh my, jumpin'-out-of-planes boy over here. Mendo vs Ataru was some utter shenanigans if I ever did see them. It was quite amusing. Lum's camping outfit was really cute, it's a shame Shinobu couldn't have an equal amount of eye-candy. Well, Mendo is pretty annoying. I'm not looking forward to having to deal with him going forward. I really thought he was going to try and steal Shinobu too, but in the end it looks like he's all-board the Lum train. It could've been an interesting dynamic to have Shinobu actually with another person while Ataru was stuck with Lum, thus putting a little more pressure on him. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
Gotta bet that we see even more good hairstyles on her :D |
colinkelly1 said: it was really funny can't wait to see more let's hope that we get a Ranma 1/2 remake next. I wonder if David Pro is going to do something similar to their "JoJo's" business model, except instead of adapting every JoJo part one-by-one, they go through the Rumic World mangas. So next up would be a Maison Ikkoku remake (Not that I think it needs one... the original is plenty good as is) and then a Ranma 1/2 remake (That would absolutely print them money) etc. Admittedly, even though Maison is my favorite Rumic work, it doesn't bring the massive crowds that Ranma and Inuyasha seem to bring; Though I could see them doing it regardless. Anyway, back on topic to the episode - I liked it! I always get a kick out of Mendo, so I'm glad the 2022 series introduced him earlier than the '80s version did. My friends and I are rewatching the original corresponding episodes alongside the new ones. The new ones are pretty solid, though I find the comedic expressions are a little better in the original. |
| Great episode. This be great |

Maison Ikkoku does NOT need a remake, even less than Urusei Yatsura. I don't think it's remotely possible to come close to the wonderful story crafted in anime form back then and while i would obviously watch a remake, i don't want it to happen either. |

I'm feeling the same way. I would absolutely watch it if they made one, but I'd rather they didn't. Actually, it would be interesting if David Pro visited Rumiko's more unknown works like One-Pound Gospel instead. |
| Mendo is one hell of a dude and he's being voiced by Mamoru Miyano, that makes me a pretty funny guy. Gotta say some things are just not as funny as they think. Times have changed but some do. |

Actually did watch One Pound Gospel in form of groupwatching, it was alright for what it was. Definitely needed a TV series adaptation and not a flimsy OVA, looked unfinished which was inevitable. |
Seguri said: Lum with the drip do be really cute :eyes: Just as beautiful as my girl Kyoko, Rumiko Takahashi with two great female leads! |
| Mendo really is just Ataru but good at hiding it :P |
Seguri said: True! Although Kyoko is still best girl for me :p, it's crazy how Rumiko is so good at making timeless waifu lol Still have yet to see Inuyasha or Ranma 1/2, maybe that's on the cards for later, surely they have good female leads as well. |
moozooh said: ShiroKuro_ said: Still glad this is still good I'm kinda upset by most of the zoomers remakes now actually a good one for once... I get what you mean, most of the time they go way overboard with modernization and trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator, but it's done very tastefully here. DavidPro were definitely respectful to the OG material, the artstyle looks great even in modern days. I remember the Shaman King remake which i dropped very soon, it just looked very bland and uninspired. |
| Really liked how they handled the Mendou introduction. Hilarious stuff. And like a poster above said, seeing Lum in normal clothes is happiness, and with a ponytail pure bliss. |
