First half with Mendou having tako problems kinda ruined the overall tone of the episode in retrospective. Lucifrost said: This is partly why I like to read the manga first before watching the anime. You can first enjoy the drawings and imagine in your head what the whole thing would look like animated before you can then experience the colored and animated version.The problem with this approach is that Rumiko's manga lacks the fancy animation of David Production. I've tried reading it after enjoying both the old and new anime, but it feels like too much of a downgrade. ๐ Especially with “Last Date” it was e.g. nice to read the fireworks in color. In the manga everything was just black and white and I was really surprised at how beautifully David Production conjured up a really beautiful dark purple sky.๐ Of course, you don't have the same effect the other way around - if you've first seen David Productions' beautiful fireworks scene, the corresponding manga scene seems sobering. That's why I often try to get my hands on the manga before watching an anime. But I also have to say that I really like Rumiko Takahashi's drawings. At first glance they seem a bit unusual because they are very different from the drawings from today's manga, but they definitely have their charm. |

Her designs are what first attracted me to Inuyasha, even though I usually have little interest in battle shounen. |

Akamaru means "red circle"
11:06 ๅคขๆฅ่จ (yume nikki) - dream diary
Nozomi means "wish; desire; hope". A nice name.
What did she say at 20:12? The lip movements don't match "thank you" (arigatou) or "I love you" (suki). Must be something else.
The second half was actually so wholesome and bittersweet T_T

| @Embient I read her lips as Sayonara, its unlikely it was arigatou or suki variation |

| This was the saddest episode in Urusei Yatsura 1981 |
| The first part, about the missing octopus, was somewhat absurd. The second part, the date with the ghost, was very cute! kekeke |
| Come on where's my comedy, where. :) That was just sad. Such a sweet girl. |
 |
| Octopus astral projection That was a sad second half |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| I cried at the end. Damn... Wasn't expecting to get emotional because of some random girl falling in love with our Ataru and so was him being such a sweet guy. He's a good guy for fulfilling her all wishes. She really loved our Ataru and he respected her feelings for him. :') |
 |
| First half was a total waste of time, when you see what they did with the second one. Could've easily dedicated an entire episode over that, but yeah, no. As far as treating Lum as that ghost girl goes, she should first start treating him the way ghost girl did. |

| Cute and sad episode |
 |
| Almost made me cry wth |
