Episodes like these is what makes Ataru much more likable as a man, and not his usual skirt chasing personality. Also, Lum's hairstyle was cute that way :)

What a great episode. Did Dr. Ito sound like Unsho Ishizuka to anyone else?

Really liked Lum being more assertive in the relationship and them having their first date. Also pretty hilarious to see Ataru being jealous.

Braid Lum is super cute. She deserves so much better.

Also, I've seen it in multiple episodes now and the front door of the Moroboshi house is never closed. Gives it a kind of weird atmosphere.

Just watching the conversations between ATARU & LUM already feels like they are very close (married couple).

Best episode yet! Both Ataru and Lum are actually quite likable in this episode. I lol-ed when Ataru said that Lum only forced her way into his life. All's well that ends well though XD

And Ataru's lightning resistance stats are really high now huh lol

If only EVERY episode was like this. Reminds me of that uncharacteristic episode where it's snowing and Lum/Ataru hold hands. This one felt a bit more subtle, though. Agreeably the best episode yet.

This show is so corny and old that every attempt at being meaningful has been an utter fail for me, but the ending scene with Ataru lying in his room and then slouching on the balcony. Those actually sorta somewhat hit me, something I never thought this show could do.

Very sweet episode. I’m actually happy episodes like these are a little rarer, makes them more special.

Dang Lum is way too good for Ataru lol. It's really interesting to see how this unconventional relationship develop over the absurdity and nonsensical things that happen throughout the show. She is still pretty childish but at the same time very sweet when demanding on first date. Kinda imagine Lum to portray such ideal waifu pair with ridiculous womanizer jerk but actually has good heart. I could see how things will expand for their future onward.

Every episode that we get some development in Lum & Ataru's relationship is always a highlight for me. Considering both characters have such a skewed look on how relationship works (one being extremely clingy, and the other a skirt chaser) its nice to see both of them learn what makes a healthy relationship slowly over time.

Perms probably my fav of the stormtroopers so I hope we get more episodes of him in the future. I agree with everyone else though, the new fit suits Lum fantasticly! I'm looking forward to the next episode like this while I enjoy the slaptstick nonesense that happens in between. This show's a riot!

Lol @ the eating competition.

Lum in a casual outfit is looking soo different.

Unpopular opinion: It was a very sweet episode, but I didn't prefer it that much over the ones where everyone goes crazy.

The ending of it was really wholesome. Definitely one of the better episodes of the series so far for me, looking forward to more episodes like these!
Have a great day!

what? Ataru stopping to call a girl for a call?



And asking Lum to come back? Since Lum is looking from above, he seemed too cute to me

That rollerskating sequence with the insert song was awesome. Quintessential 80s.

I love this episode. It's the first time Ataru and Lum acted like an actual couple with their first date and all. And I loved how this almost felt like a normal romcom anime episode, different from all the usual Urusei Yatsura madness. The 80's aesthetics in this episode were on point.

I loved how Ataru treated Lum so well in this episode. Very different from his usual self. It's just so rare. Not to mention, Lum was unbelievably cute in this episode. She looks the most cute when she acts like a human and wears human clothes. And the double date and the roller skating scenes were so good.

I know the ending of this episode was different from the manga counterpart, but this is the type of change that I like seeing. The whole episode was so good.

No matter what people say, director Mamoru Oshii knew what he was doing. He can make some great comedy and also stories that can pull on your heartstrings. Not saying he was perfect, no director is. He had some lows. But his highs were basically the highs of Urusei Yatsura as a whole.

It's a shame that he quit halfway through. I wonder what kind of crazy changes he would've brought to the table if he had been the director of Urusei Yatsura the whole way through.

This is one of my favorite episodes. It's a shame that the Remake will most likely skip the manga chapter this episode was adapting. Even if they kept the dumb ending of the manga, I still would've preferred it over it not being adapted at all. Would've loved seeing more of "human" Lum in the Remake. Huge wasted opportunity.

This feels like one of the first essential episodes in a while. It's probably my favorite so far. It felt very genuine and heartfelt compared to a lot before, and it helps show what makes this show really special imo. It's also always nice when Lum wears real clothes, I prefer them over her actual outfit essentially every time.
