From that short trailer everyone except Ataru seems to draw from the original cast in their performance which is great, the original cast is legendary. I was worried since the anouncement that Ataru might be miscast but we'll see. Miscasts don't happen all that often so I'll try to limit my worries. The visual direction looks good and hey, they even brought the old theme song back.

It's certainly got the all-stars treatment, though adapting only certain segments of the manga for a 4-cour, 52 episode max remake, which I'm fine with it since the standard of 100+ episodes isn't as sustainable now, compared to back then in the golden age of anime in the 1980s.

Regardless, I'd expect DavidPro to go all out on this, something close to JoJo-like production process.

Looks really good visually. The voice actress for Lum sounds really spot on too. I've known about the original and how influential it was, but I've never sat down to watch it. I'll be sure to watch this.

I see the anime is quite popular in Japan. I don't know whether the story is poorly aged or something. Will give it a try when it comes out.

It looks like it's keeping as much as it can from the original show. I think that's okay.

I hope it gets a good enough run.

Urusei Yatsura was the anime that got me into anime.

I'm really sad the original cast (the ones alive and still in the industry) weren't hired for their roles.

I'll watch this of course and I hope it gets more people into anime
