| Decent enough to not put me to sleep and I had a slight laugh for when the priest gal sakura got all them demons and summoned the grim reaper. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Sadly, I'm actively starting to dislike this show. I get that some characters aren't meant to be particularly likable, I get that it's meant to be ridiculous, slapstick humour, but... It just feels "off" somehow, even through the lens of nostalgia, I guess I'll try the third episode, but then I'll probably drop. |

I cpuld say "it's just the beginning, we're only at the character introduction stage", but yeah, there's no point in sticking around if you can't laugh at the oldschool jokes and enjoy the multiple possibilities of shenanigans. Yep, I was looking forward to this show and thinking I'd enjoy the "old-school" vibe, but it just hasn't clicked. I at least gave it three episodes, but this is clearly not for me. |

| Did the canonical timing fly away or something? You wait for some heroes - you get other damn. And so, I really like it. The new Ataru is the same Ataru, but it sounds delicious |
| May be some anime? |
| Nah, dropping this. Too much BS for my taste. Too much yelling, too many annoying characters. I mean, come on... dude's attending a class quietly and an alien chick is clinging to him and makes noise, yet literally everyone blames the dude and is aggressive towards him - TOTALLY ignoring the flying alien chick who's at fault!!! What part of this garbage is supposed to be funny? - "Take of your bra to ease back-pain"? Constant horniness and violence towards MC? Nah, couldn't crack a smile. Maybe the original was better? Dunno, not eager to check. The only + I saw in the entire show is Lum. She looks cute sometimes, but her character - not so cute. |

Wait, you list Nichijou as one of your favorite anime which has plenty of yelling, annoying characters and characters agressive towards each other, but you're dropping Urusei Yatsura for those reasons? I smell bias. There's literally not a single likeable character in this show. As I mentioned, Lum's cute looking, but I wouldn't torture myself watching 20+ episodes just looking at the drawing of her. I would also not defile Nichijou by comparing it to this garbage. |
| @Swiss_Bohemian Well, that's your opinion. I don't agree. Well, congratulations. Yes, it's my opinion and I don't like the show. Simple as that. Nichijou and Urusei have similarities but aren't comparable. See, it's way too easy to trash on a comedy show. Everyone can do it. Not everyone has to share the same taste in humor. And you're telling me this why? I Just posted my opinion and am planning to move on. It's garbage for me but others don't have to agree. It's not like I'm preaching or making a new thread to "spread hate" or something. I'm not even going to rate the show at all - IMO it's unfair to rate something you didn't even bother to finish. Whoever enjoys this show can and likely will enjoy it regardless. I'm not judging anyone. Glad you like Nichijou as well. The matter of fact is, Nichijou hooked me from episode 1. This show did the opposite. I decided to give it another chance, but barely finished episode 2. Nah... not for me. |

The screaming got to me as well, especially in this episode. Got more used to it in episode 3 and has my, so far, favourite character with Mendou introduced. Maybe with all key players introduced, we'll get to see the interactions. Swiss_Bohemian said: Sigmar-Unberogen said: There's literally not a single likeable character in this show.

I like Ataru a lot and also some of the other characters next to Lum, but that's because I know the original show and movies, hence I know the narrative potential this new series has. I would also not defile Nichijou by comparing it to this garbage. But I would. I love to defile trash. What about this annoying loli doctor and her ways to torture her android robot? What for? What about that stupid cat always talking and berating the doctor? What about this stupid chick with a bazooka? Etcetera. See, it's way too easy to trash on a comedy show. Everyone can do it. Not everyone has to share the same taste in humor. Btw, I like Nichijou very much. The screaming got to me as well, especially in this episode. Got more used to it in episode 3 and has my, so far, favourite character with Mendou introduced. Maybe with all key players introduced, we'll get to see the hilarity in full display, at least i'm hoping that. |
| Despite many changes, the comedy is still silly. Just the way I like it. |
Ishitateso said: Two episodes was more than enough of this hell of shouting called an anime. It is irritating beyond words. It is high time I dropped it. Polar opposite opinion here, these first two episodes really got me interested in the series, I was already gonna check the original one day, but this was really enjoyable. Lum's design is really sexy, the way she is animated is definitely one of the finer points of this adaptation, and her hair, really like the detail to that. If this dude had his brain working he would have stop fucking around already, dive in her arms, stop with the cheating talks and just get her in bed, for god sake she wants you to marry her, just get to already, hard to find a better piece of meat around (it is even cute when she shocks him, really love how they animate her hair). |

| This is quite an amazing show. Wasn't sure how it would be to watch this first, instead of the older series, but this kind of a hoot |

I find it quite strange that Ataru wouldn't embrace someone willingly clinging on him looking bombastic like Lum, definitely missed chances but i'm sure he'll come around and then we'll see some action ;) |
| The ED is such a bop. Lum is adorable and also very clingy. Ataru can't catch a break. LOL. He's so unlucky but lucky at the same time. |

moozooh said: Smudy said: I find it quite strange that Ataru wouldn't embrace someone willingly clinging on him looking bombastic like Lum, definitely missed chances but i'm sure he'll come around and then we'll see some action ;) Ataru does give off the "journey over destination" kind of vibe. Which actually plays well into the episodic nature of the original manga; it's a lot less frustrating to see things revert to the status quo when any sort of long-term goals aren't involved. Makes sense, as long as there IS an endgame happening which provides romance closure in this case. I'd find it frustrating if i'd be left hanging from Ataru being indecisive. |

That's probably one of the reasons I can't seem to get into the story. This combination of feeling like there is no long term girl, combined with Ataru indecisiveness I get you. I'm very much hoping for the serious Ataru/Lum moments to appear frequently from now on so we have a clear red thread. |
| There're people who laughed to this ? It's not even funny or entertaining, idk if I will drop that |

| Ogmygog what a freakin' ep! It's like a transliteral transcription of the manga. This is like bein' in them pages again. Absolute frenetic energy. A Japanese comedy classic. When is S2? |

Again a rushed episode, again the jokes are told in an unfunny manner and again personality issues. dropped this wreck
| @nightcrawlercyp yep man, I hear you. In fact, I dropped it after the first scene. And I fail to fine what exactly is funny about that! About any of those scenes to be quite frank. Especially the “I should’ve never given birth to him“ line. It came up twice in the first half of the first episode alone! I mean, what sort of sicko would actually think that it’s funny!?! And I agree that the episodes definitely seemed rushed too. I saw some of the original, and I do not remember it being this fast! And don’t even get me started with the personality issues as well! Seriously! |

| @Cosplay_Joe the original series was funny. Is all about delivery. You can see it in every day life too: two people tell the exact same joke but only one is funny due to delivery. Regarding “I should’ve never given birth to him“ is not like mother of MC really means it. Is just a cry of exasperation. Her house is destroyed once every couple of weeks due to Ataru's shennanigans, due to him being percived as a mega perv ( although most of the times is nor merited) she is the talk of the neighbourhood. And there is the problem of Cherry. While Ataru has a huge load of bad luck from birth the interference if Cherry which is the biggest freeloader makes things even worse. |

| @nightcrawlercyp oh, I understand her being exasperated in all, so yeah, it makes sense that she didn’t really mean it. However, there’s a certain line that you don’t cross, even under those sort of circumstances. And that whole “I should’ve never given birth to him“ bits is one of those lines. And it also reminded me of a scene in an anime where the mother really did mean it, I’m not sure if you know about it, but it’s called HigeHiro and the mother in that series has got to be the worst mother I’ve ever seen in anime! Sure, the MC’s mother in this anime didn’t mean it, but I’m sure you get what I mean. |
