| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A bit of a repetitive episode, but well still quite funny :p |
 |
| The only thing I don't like is how the mom treats her son as if it was his fault that Asuka is so lovey-dovey with her own brother when it was her fault for depriving Asuka from men in the first place because of a silly family tradition. |
| I wonder how Asuka has become so weird, the way the mother raised her was just perfect, where did it go wrong? the moment she decided to follow tradition of not letting her see any man? the moment she decided not to teach tsome basic biology and human knowlegde? The moment she decided to give her daughter some superhuman strength training? Nah, it's probably Tobimaru's fault. |
 |
| When watching this episode I thought of World Welfare Works Association and that Asuka would fit there well :D |
 |
| Nothing changed.. Roketto Punch!! |
| Another Asuka episode is a good episode, you could argue her fear of men is kinda repetitive but I can’t lie when I say that every time she slaps a dude into the stratosphere I laugh lol, it’s a good bit. I also enjoyed her fight with her mom, poor Ataru and Tobimaro tho for being used as weapons lol. And sadly despite Asuka standing up to her mom it ended up back to the way things were before with her sneaking into Tobimaro’s room and still being afraid of men, the good part of that is that we might get more Asuka episodes tho! And lastly, Mendou’s men cosplaying had some nice references in there, I noticed Star Wars and Spider-Man lol. |
| Another Asuka episode. Woah. Rewatching this episode was almost eye-opening. This episode adapted 5 chapters in one episode. That's insane. Especially since the OG adapted Asuka's debut story with 2 episodes and that only had 4 chapters. The beginning of the episode was so fast-paced it almost felt like I was watching the 2022 version of Urusei Yatsura lol. But then, the second half of this episode cut a lot of content from the manga. Chapters 254-255 A Stormy Date Parts 3 and 4 were almost completely skipped. It skipped the best jokes of the manga and shortened a lot of good scenes. :( This was the second Asuka episode with a botched adaptation. This adds to my theory that maybe David Production adapted so many Asuka chapters with the intention of "fixing" the OG anime's mistakes and doing the character justice. Who knows. This is probably a controversial take but the difference between the Pierrot era Urusei Yatsura and the Deen era Urusei Yatsura is pretty interesting. Pierrot would often change or alter the story/ending of the manga chapter and make it better while Deen did the opposite and often made the stories worse or boring. This makes me think that maybe one of the reasons the fandom hates Asuka so much is because the anime mishandled her character. The botched adaptations and the poor voice direction didn't help even though she only has a couple of episodes. This made me look forward to the Remake version of this episode more. Even if it's another Asuka episode, at least it'll be more faithful to the manga. Apparently, it's also one of Takahashi's favorite manga chapters of Urusei Yatsura. So that also explains why Asuka got so much screentime in the Remake. |
