Shinobu hasn't had that much to do since she lost interest in Ataru, so it's neat for her to get a whole episode like this, I suppose.

More importantly, I rather admire the show for doing something as weird as changing genre to pulp detective story for an episode.

But while I understand that Makoto used Shinobu, I don't really understand what crime he committed.

I was shipping Shinobu with Makoto throughout the whole episode, but sadly it did not end like a cinderella story :(

Urusei Yatsura does mystery!

I thought that as a novelty, this was a good episode.

I especially love how all the clues were there; the ending wasn't some ass-pull but put together rather well.

Also, did Megane do the Sieg Heil early in the episode? That kid is weird, I swear.

Can't believe Ataru got caught that easily at shinobu's house
"Is this guy a moron or what?"
Sir, mah man Ataru is a professional. I don't doubt his abilities to make the wrong decisions.

Ah, what a great episode. I love how the show has been switching genres, from spoofing slasher in episode 69 to playing suspense straight in this episode. The best part is the way the characters remain in character within the genre shifts. Lum is still Lum, Ataru is still Ataru lol
Shinobu has a good head on her shoulders, would trust with my life. But since she has the same voice as Yuri from the WWWA, I guess this to be expected.

Maokto planned to have Shinobu killed so he could pin the crime on the other siblings and remove them from the picture. And whe owuld have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling kids Lum and Shinobu...

I love these little filler stories focusing on side characters. They're always a good time!

What a story! Despite Urusei Yatsura being mainly a comedy show, I'd love to see the cast participate in something serious. Shinobu being the main character for this episode also made it better; she's my favorite character ^^
