| I don't know if anyone knows this, I'm just curious how the Japanese audience is reacting to this anime if they are at all. If it's popular and such so far Personally I feel like this anime would be funnier if I spoke Japanese, it's still funny to me now but I feel like the VAs are saying things a specific way that would be funnier if I spoke Japanese even though I can't understand stuff like that. |
No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!" |
| It's a remake of classic. I'm not Japanese but I learnd the language for many years and I think the anime is really funny. |
 Yeah, I understand you, but I can't write in English. Yeah, one of the most easiest language. But in exchange I can speak and write one of the most difficult: Hungarian :D - Akinek nem tetszik valami, elmehet Kukutyinba zabot hegyezni. |
| According to Anikore (The closest equivalent to MAL in Japan), the original has a effectively a 7.8/10 rating, and the remake has a 6.6/10 rating. The scoring system on there is quite different, but the reception there seems a fair bit colder than it is over here. |

| Top three reviews of this anime from Anikore (By their user "Thank you" score, in descending order), badly translated to english. Also, Lum usually machine translates to Ram, so that's why that unusual name shows up a ton. The people on Anikore must really not like this anime if these are the three most liked reviews, all of which boil down to calling the anime mid and stupid. Man, I like japan, except what I hate japan. |

Man, I like japan, except what I hate japan. Wow, those are really bizarre. Not only does the last guy talk bad about this show but Osomatsu-san too, which actually was successful over there. He even implies exactly what most people are sick of over here in romance anime, how he wants the main characters to be teased and coddled and an MC who is more submissive. And more moe. It's so strange. And it's especially weird to me how all of them seem to be so hard on the visuals, this is absolutely a stunning anime! I guess it kinda sounds like the reception is similar, if not a bit more critical because they have more exposure to the original and maybe more hardcore otaku. But they don't even seem to be comparing it much like people here are. |

Swiss_Bohemian said: The manga has been published by Viz in the late 80s and 90s in two different manga format and the anime has been released by AnimEigo in its entirety on VHS, DVDs and partially on Laserdisc (the movies and OVAs at least). None of that can be considered popular. AnimEigo released the anime without an English dub, and Viz cancelled the manga without even translating the whole thing. Giffica is right to say the series is now taken more seriously by licensors than it was in the past. |

| I am really not much of a critic But i think part of the reason why the modern audience is not liking the remake as the original is cause the modern fandom are not used to this type of comedy style and story telling. Another is that some are not liking that it is skipping chapters and modifying the story somewhat given this series has a more limited amount of episodes than the original. Also the jokes and the way the characters act are somewhat outdated. That is not the fault of the series as that how it was made if anything it helped with the creation of a lot of modern tropes you see in anime but that is also another issue, since it was one of the first series to showcase those tropes a lot of people are thinking that it used to much of it, especially since they have been way over done since the first one aired decades ago. Personally i have been liking it and im trying to keep my views by looking at it from a more historical context rather than just a modern audience viewpoint as their are a lot of factors you have to take into consideration when reviewing this remake and even than im not exactly the best to reviewing this type of show even after i already watched the original years ago. |

Giffica is right to say the series is now taken more seriously by licensors than it was in the past. Define "popular" and "be taken seriously". Urusei Yatsura was the first really long series to be released on any media format in English before Ranma 1/2 and having a dub for almost 200 episodes for a show without any significant TV broadcast was a huge risk in the 90s. Same goes for the manga. Viz released at least a third of the original manga tankoubon at a time where most manga releases were still released in the traditional comic book format and no manga was longer than 10-15 volumes. Moreover, Lum as a character was really popular in the emerging English cosplay scene of the late 80s/early 90s. Downplaying the show's past success shows ignorance of how the English landscape for both anime and manga releases was back in the day and what was actually popular among fans. I second this opinion... Hell, Urusei Yatsura was one of the staples since the Cartoon/Fantasy Organization days, and it was prominent enough to be featured in Matthew Sweet's music video "I've been Waiting" (Not to mention the Lum tattoo on his shoulder) Anyone who was there at the time can corroborate the popularity of Urusei Yatsura within the community. |
