| I remember really enjoying the bits we got in this episode, and they were great here too. I remember particularly loving Sakura’s introduction, the opening part with Ataru hiding from Lum in his disguise only for the news broadcast to have a picture of him wearing it really killed me in the original and it really got me here too, such a simple bit but really funny. Sakura’s VA is fantastic too, it sounded like she had a lot of fun during the exorcism part. The 2nd half was also one I loved before, Lum absolutely beating the shit out of Ataru when she finds out the truth behind the ribbons is still hilarious lol, and interesting to see they slightly changed the designs of Ataru’s friend, they look great tho. And it looks like we’re already getting Mendou’s introduction, I remember it being a decent bit later in the original but knowing that this remake is like a highlight reel it’s understandable. And I gotta mention one more time that I’m still super happy with this remake, can’t get over how beautiful it is and how great all the VAs are doing. |
| Why is everyone so damn violent? There'd be little to no issues if everyone was just normal and civil and used their words to solve their problems. 80's humor, I guess. |
| Noisy anime with crazy characters. The priestess part was something times nothing, it just introduced another crazy character. And what pissed me off the most about this episode was the fact that these talatics stay at the protagonist's house, disturbing things when Lum and he are married. Very irritating! I hope that this protagonist and Lum improve in the future because both are annoying, one keeps crying and the other keeps torturing him like he was nothing. I'll hold on a little longer to see if there's an improvement in the next episodes if not goodbye anime. |

| This is pretty fun |
| Cool, we have three of the four Lum Stormtroopers, Chibi (Who's tall now), Perm (Who uses the old manga design, and was in the last episode), and Megane, two of which have already been corrupted by Lum's touch. All that's left is Kakugari, if he was even relevant enough to be born in this adaptation. Also, Kotatsu Neko is already here? No intro? There were some things that this episode did better than the original, and some thing done worse. It was nice to see Ataru already starting to have feelings for Lum, even if they were subconcious at best. I liked it, though it seems that just like the original, it's gonna be a bit of a slow burn. Still excited to watch more, though. |

| Nice to see Kyoko! Also a very cute B part ☺ |
| Lol did anyone notice the Kyoukai no Rinne reference at the beginning of the episode when the teacher was reading an English passage aloud? XD I was thinking it had to be anime only since Urusei Yatsura was Rumiko's first major work, and she began Kyoukai no Rinne 22 years later. I feel like they put that there too because the female MC in Rinne is named Sakura, and in the same part of the episode, we meet Sakura the shrine maiden who exorcises (sliiiightly similar to what Rinne does). What a prefect reference, haha. |

I was too preoccupied trying to find out whether they did or didn't add Kakugari to this anime. |

| Since last week I lost count of how many times I listened to its OP and its ED, both of them are really good. I really like how the remake has progressed so far. All new VA works well for this new adaptation. Satoshi (Megane) sounds so similar to its original. The episode title also pops up so seamlessly during the show. Ataru is still cultured for having Maison Ikkoku manga. I prefer Sakura's introduction and the Ribbon episode slightly more than its OG. It's much more faithful to the manga in terms of its characterization. I enjoy greatly how Lum is depicted in the last few minutes. The beating is quite satisfying and terrifying at the same time, especially with the chomp! That's some actual wrestling moves performed lol. A bit surprised to see Kotatsuneko sit beside Cherry on his tent this early. Kotastsuneko's origin story is quite tragic so I also want to see that get adapted too. The last member of the four gang squad Shutaro Mendo is also introduced pretty early and I really like that. It seems that they want to introduce all of the cast as quickly as possible so we can get more stories to be told. This is going to get even better and more hilarious once the whole cast is properly introduced in the show. |

| nice smoooooch scene, i like how lum acts in school |
| Sakura is still the best/hilarious lol also i hear alot of Shinpachi (Gintama...i know its the same actor) on that one friend lol |
| I liked the second episode a lot more. The two stories flowed a lot better and were more fun ^.^ |
 |
| Lamu is better with her powers unsealed, he'll have to get used to her electricity just like Ash with Pikachu |
 |
| Hey Miyuki Sawashiro as Sakura. let's go!! Really enjoying it, i have many laugh, it was a fun time. also new character voice by the GOAT Mamoru Miyano!! |
 |
| Why doesn't the slutty bitch just abandon Ataru and go back to where she came from since he's constantly "cheating" on her. All the characters are shallow and horrible specially all those guys lusting after Lum. |

I still liked this episode though The OG skipped 80 chapters by episode 2, this is how the anime has always been, they are adapting the manga completely out of order again (probably adapting just the important ones for this new adaptation in particular, there's a whole lot of dumb fun "filler" in Urusei Yatsura that makes no difference, thus why the order at time is irrelevant and they just shift the characters participating in the story just like that). This one doesn't even skip as much by ep 2, they just adapted it chapter 4 and 16 earlier than the original (episode 5 and 9 in the OG), which was way further ahead beforehand anyway. I don't think people are very familiar with this series at all in here. It's not even that important, and the pacing is just as insane in the manga. Noumu said: It's not just chapters (that much had to be expected given how short this adaptation is). The really issue is all the other stuff they left out such as some jokes missing their punchline (e.g. the girl crying on TV about her missing mother was mainly upset because she was now the one who had to do all the housework due to how useless the father was). The comedy and punchlines are on point, in this case they just skipped one of the gags. This happened in the original as well, specially because of aforementioned cast mix-up (some gags didn't work in the same way, so they either removed them as well, or just used a different one with another cast member). nightcrawlercyp said: Again a rushed episode, again the jokes are told in an unfunny manner and again personality issues. dropped this wreck Lastly, the pacing remains the same, if not some few seconds slower than the original adapted chapters (at times faster to give a new spin on certain other scenes), 2 chapters per episode. If you don't like it, that's just not the kind of story nor humor for you. There is a reason why a lot of the wacky and horny Gainax/Trigger humor was heavily inspired by this series, and I'd suggest you to stay away of those as well, I guess. -------------------------------------------- Another great ep on my book, all in all. There's a lot of love in this new adaptation and it shows. There are a couple of easter eggs here and there too, always a delight from David Productions in this regard. |

Mind me asking how so exactly? I don't think I understood well what are you trying to point out here, do you have any examples? Because what you described is basically Rumiko's humor in a nutshell, rather repetitive in nature after a while, too. |

Danpmss said: Is hard to define... for instance they replace gogo bar with bikini bar. Also the way Lum is seen as clingy in the classroom or the face on Shinobu when it throws the desk. Also for most of the jokes in the original version there is some buildup, the reactions of the characters are justified at least partially. Here is not very clear. For instance Lum appears as a mad woman instead of just very clingy to a man that gives her mixed signal. Also ataru seems tobe a total sleezbal instead of a man that despite having serious feelings for Shinobu and later for lum has a wandering eye and likes to flirt with other girls. As I said is hard to explain. In the original version the jokes have a subtlety here they are as blunt as they come. Hope it makes sense... I know I did not explain it wellnightcrawlercyp said: Just to clarify: I like the humor of the original series.... with few exceptions, I do not like the humor if this series.

I think I get what you are trying to say, but personally, I respectfully disagree. I don't see much of a difference in execution. I see at best a difference in pacing with the slapstick humor, since in here is faster paced and has a whole lot more motion, similar to the Urusei Yatsura OVAs. That's the one significant difference between the old series and this one (at least until aforementioned OVAs). The animation was very limited and still for the most part, while in here, it's much more lively overall. If you had a problem with that, I guess that's rather opinionative in terms of presentation on itself in this case, and I would understand just fine (though still wouldn't be much different from the later installments of the old series). |

Danpmss said: The comedy and punchlines are on point, in this case they just skipped one of the gags. No they didn't, "skipping the gag" would mean that they didn't bring it up at all which, while still disappointing, wouldn't be nearly as bad but here they started it and moved on to the next thing halfway through. |
| Almost every character other than MC is a hottie. |

No they didn't, "skipping the gag" would mean that they didn't bring it up at all which, while still disappointing, wouldn't be nearly as bad but here they started it and moved on to the next thing halfway through. They literally did exactly that, they skipped a gag, and still went for a main punchline of that particular scene with the TV for missing people. For instance, they didn't even build up a punchline for what you said they brought up. They literally only put someone saying "Mommy come back home" in a segment for missing people, and then used the actual punchline of his family and Lum searching for him. You are nitpicking, they just skipped a single gag, not ruined an entire segment because of it. The scene that mattered the most is still there, just missing an extra gag. If it was the way you are claiming to be, they would have at least shown the people on TV at that moment. |

| Outside of everyone blindly blaming Ataru, freaking loving it so far! Something I can just turn my brain off and enjoy. So far, so good. |
The World Suffused with Sound.  |
| shinobu needs to dump ataru for real. like girl. it keeps happening, why are you staying with this clown? lum gives him what he deserves: pain |
| Lum has no shame in class lol She just chanted food for the excorcism lmao Shrine maiden is cherry's niece. Damn, Ataru wake up surrounded by your childhood crush and aloen babe and you have the audacity to hit on the nurse. Oh my lord the deception. Lum thought Ataru was opening up to her. Shutaro is going to be Ataru's competition by the looks of him |

There'd be little to no issues if everyone was just normal and civil and used their words to solve their problems. 30's humor, I guess. Damn, you really got me by further proving that old school humor revolves around violence. I can at least give Looney Tunes somewhat of a pass because they're anthropomorphic animals. We've got fellow humans (well, also aliens that present just like humans) in this anime. This is just domestic violence. |
| Jesus... will Hiroshi Kamiya's voice survive a full adaptation of this? I honestly hope he's being paid well. Meh episode overall. First half was okay and Sakura is a hottie but man, second half was so infuriating to watch. Especially when those two "white knights" joined the ruckus at Ataru's place for no apparent reason. |
| I never watched the original and always thought I really should have. I have a short manga chapter of it, but I've never actually opened it to read it. Well, not yet at least. Honestly, this type of humor annoys me so far. I'm not a humongous fan of humor that runs off of misunderstandings. Like aggh.;; I understand that Ataru kinda deserves the crap he gets, but at the same time it's just hard to watch someone constantly get misunderstood. Like he's not really doing anything a lot of the time and he still gets crap or misunderstood. It's just rough. I feel sad for him more than anything, but it's like the whole anime is based off of those situations. It's usually fine for me if people show that they made the wrong assumptions, but they usually don't here so it's just hard to watch. |
