| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Obviously, one episode is nowhere near enough to judge a 195 episode series. But, even so, this episode was very random and, occasionally, very funny. Still, I hope the series has bit more maturity going forward. |

| pretty good episode. Totally made me fall in love with Lum chan and Ataru. |
| Hilarious! I really enjoyed the first episode(s)! Ataru is an idiot but funny, and Lum is sexy and very funny to. The parents were great to, "I shouldn't have had him." LOL!! Looking forward to watching this series! Urahara Out!! |
 |
| Loved the first half of this episode. It was over the top and hilarious - Takahashi silliness at its best. Two hundred eps seems daunting, but I'm prepared skip around once the show inevitably slows down. |
| Never saw this before, interesting but I just noticed it's 195 episodes long so...gotta...watch...'em...all...or...my...zero...drop...streak...will...end... |
| . |
| I was laughing throughout the entire episode. My goodness. And everytime Ataru's mother said, "I should have never had him" I cracked up twice as hard. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| This is the fourth show I'm watching from Rumiko Takahashi's work( first was Inuyasha, then Ranma1/2, then the recent Rinne)and it feels so weird because Ataru is such a jerk (in funny way)compared to her other main male characters. Since this is her first hit series, It's understandable. Aside from that, Ataru really is bad luck! Poor mom and dad for having such a child LOL I also feel sorry for Shinobu ( I mean what does she see in Ataru LOL) Finally, Lum is cute, I'm surprised she wants to be with Ataru. Well, this is going to be a long journey, so let the comedy begin! |
| Old anime is just amazing! Really fun start I must say and what a setting :p Looking forward to see what this anime will have to offer! |
 |
| I liked it, it was way more random than I thought. I wonder if we get a story later on. Poor family of Ataru, they would have been lynched if he hadn't showed his perverted masterplan. "I never should have had him" Lum is a cutie, seems like Ataru's best days in his life are going to start now. 195 episodes.. I'm ready. |

| First episode was fun,195 episodes seems daunting so hope it stays enjoyable throughout cause ain't planning to drop. |
| Cute mindless entertainment. I'll be watching casually for Lum! |
| I'm not liking this at all, and to think that I spent $60 on the 10-disc Laserdisc boxset years ago. Why do I have a funny feeling I wasted my money? There is absolutely NOTHING funny about this show. Simply put, it's "Annoying" just like Maison Ikkoku and Ranma 1/2, and I didn't like those Anime either, with Maison Ikkoku being the absolute worst Anime I've ever seen. I'll watch a few more episodes, but if it doesn't improve, I'm dropping it. |
 |
| The first half of this episode was amazing, the second part was still okay; I'd be a liar if I claimed Lum didn't entirely grab me by the heart. I'll probably watch something around 10 more episodes to get a general feeling of what's this about, and after 70 years when I'm old and salty and cynical, I'll watch the remaining 180 on my rocking chair. |
| Lol his parents .. that was hilarious! |
| It wasn't laugh out loud funny by any means, but it was amusing enough to maintain interest I guess. Decent start, neither particularly good nor bad. I've heard it takes roughly the first 20ish episodes for this show to get into its groove... Anyway, we'll see. |
| Pretty interesting starting episode, felt a lot similiar to "To Love Ru" only a bit more random. I still wonder how Ataru got a girlfriend in the first place given his personality. Also his mom with "I should never have had him" was pretty funny. |
 |
| That was completely, entirely, absolutely insane... And that's great ! I love this kind of humor, it's stupid but it always works on me. One thing that got me worried is the fact that not a single character seemed to be likable, but for how flawed they can be, Ataru and Lum are pretty adorable and fun ! I think I'll enjoy seeing their everyday life. The little alien taxi driver was super cute too. The number of episodes is worrying me but if I don't binge-watch, I think I'll be fine. Plus, this show reminds me of old anime/cartoons I watched as a kid (Minky Momo and Casper (the original from 1950) especially come to mind), so it's a great nostalgia trip. Overall that's a good first impression ! I'm looking forward to the rest. |

| This man got kidnapped,faith of earth depended on him,Mother wished he was never born,he was tortured by his own classmates,got dumped by fiance,saw an alien naked,almost got executed by his own classmates,got abducted by alien,got blackmailed and all of Japan hates him. Classic Rumiko Takahashi lmao. |
| That's so much "darling" well that was really weird and random, but why not xD |
 |
| Ataru got into a lot of trouble early in the show, lol. Lum is sweet, gentle, a passionate alien, while Shinobu is jealous of the other two's relationship. Urusei Yatsura seems to have a lot of comedy to offer and that's great! |
| It's always good to see when a MC is making good use of his perverted nature xD Amusing enough start. It's all quite over-the-top from the premise, to the antics and the fickle characters. Takahashi also threw in some funny one-liners. Liked their dry delivery. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This was a funny episode. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
I wonder why they stopped making tears like that, ngl I would have give in to Lum then |
| This is the first time I'm watching this series. I was aware of its existence years ago but kept putting off watching it until now. I did not know that the creator of this went on to create Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha, interesting. The premise is rather silly with Ataru having to chase Lum and grab her horns to win a game of tag but his idea on the last day was hilarious but it worked. The misunderstanding with marriage was also funny. I think I'll enjoy watching this old anime. |
| It was all very fast, I thought that the story would be slower because of the length of the anime and the movies it has, but who cares, I liked it a lot xD |
 |
| Are we sure that the guy is human? The injuries would not have healed in ten days. (Jk. It's anime, of course all injures are healed fast unless the scar is cool and it was gotten in a character defining moment) I don't really like the MC, but considering the bad luck and the comedy - I'm going to like this. Probably. The premise is bizarre, but it works. I want more. That's good. The opening and the ending fit perfectly! I like it so far. 7/10. |
