I think this newest episode did a pretty good job on adapting “How I Waited For You”. I was a little shocked that this chapter was being adapted midway through this season, but It was neat seeing this chapter being faithfully adapted while also adding some new scenes that make the ending a bit more impactful.
I think that chapter was better in both animes In the manga I didn't even notice it was over it just flew past me while In the animes it was a lot more impactful
Love how they adapted "How I've Waited for You" in the newest episode. I think them adapting this early on is a sign that they're gonna be easing into more heartfelt stories. The way they're picking the stories is pretty good for recontextualizing such a huge series more naturally in the 23 episodes we get to have.
One of my favourite episodes of the original was "And then there was none"; I was a young teenager when I first saw that episode and it simply blew me away. The one with Ataru's mother having nightmares was also great and episode 107 with *that* scene between Ataru and Lum was truly special. I also love episode 134 with the voodoo doll, the hilarious extended bromance scene between Ataru and Mendo, who has been crushed by elephants just earlier, never gets old. Oh, and ep. 43 with the cursed lady cat on the roof was comedy gold too (with a special creepy backstory)!
The "And then there were none" episode has one of the fan-favorite out-of-nowhere Lum moments--As the group is entering the spooky mansion in the storm, Lum stares curiously at a pair of scary dinosaur statues; the gang calls for her to join them, she gives the statues a "Beehh!! 😝" and flies off. 😄
While I generally prefer the 80s anime right now, this new Urusei Yatsura definitely had a strong start and it can certainly improve. I'm not too keen on modern anime, but this is one series I will definitely follow.
I mean it's super nostalgic, even the animation style is following Takahashi's original manga artwork. I'm VERY impressed with this remake. I thought they were doing an update, like Lum & Ataru with mobile phones, but they're actually retelling the classic story from the beginning. Wow. Lum's shimmering hair makes her look more otherworldly.
@@Jumpoable The show actually takes place in the 80s like the original. They don't draw attention to it, like so many western shows set in the 80s, but you can see Ataru has cassettes and records. And yes, no one has cellphones. I like that bit of subtlety. And agreed about Lum's hair. That shimmering effect they give it in different lighting really makes her stand out.
@@fattiger6957 Yes, I watched the 1st episode. It was hilarious to see that they still used rotary phones, even Lum in her futuristic alien space craft LOL. Is it a landline..?
Episode 107 is the one that I want the most just for the last five minutes. Not to spread spoilers for the original, but I think Kitty films hit their peak when it came to that scene. So much is said with very little words, and it feels very bittersweet. You can tell that Lum didn’t even know if she was making the right choice. One of the original’s must watch episodes right behind the Christmas episode from season 1
Your No. 10 is one of my all-time favorites too. I find it hilarious that Oyuki expresses relief when SHE doesn't get harmed by Ran's schemes but ignores everyone else's condition. Somehow, the way her self-centeredness is presented is very funny.
to date - after having seen many and still have more to see - I can say that urusei yastura is my second favorite anime/manga of all time, I will never stop loving the original work and the remake
"How I've Waited For You..." was adapted for episode 5 and "Since Your Parting" was confirmed to be in the first cour. Hopefully the rest of the 8 episodes will also be adapted in some way though I don't see Zodiac Go Round and Ataru vs Ataru being adapted at this point. There are just too many chapters to fit 46 episodes.
I really hope that the team behind this reboot gave themselves a little bit of breathing room to tell the stories their own way and possibly even tell new ones. I think a lot of the best moments that made the series more endearing to me was added by the team at Kitty Films. After reading the manga, it become much more clear to me how the studio gave more life in the relationship with Ataru and Lum which is the reason why I watched the anime. For instance, I found the way the characters behaved in 'Thrilling Summer Date' to be more amusing in the Anime because of the added content and slight adjustments made. Even how 'Pitter Patter Christmas Eve' changed 'How I Waited For You' I thought was for the better though I still enjoyed the reboots take on it. As a question for anyone, what's your thoughts on them possibly remaking the Anime Original stories in the reboot? For some reason, I get a bad feeling about it, but there isn't any logic as to why it just feels wrong. Though if the did do so, I am sure it wouldn't be anything distasteful, so far there are so many small details in this reboot that show signs of love and respect for the source material and the OG Anime.
In my opinion, probably they'll just skip them. The creators already have too much stories from original manga. Of course, I'll be glad, if they give them a chance as well (especially 105-106, 107 and 143). But honestly, maybe this is a great chance for chapters that have never been adapted, or anime just borrowed a scene or two from them. For example, I would love to see not changed story of "Miss Tomobiki Contest" (chapters 186-190) in new anime, but it's hard to say if they'll try to do it.
@@jonagoldemerald8704 Surely Miss Tomobiki is the worst adapted episode in the OG anime, and everybody would love to see that in the remake. But it's so long that they probably would need 2 or 3 episodes to cover it ! Chances are, it's not going to happen (unfortunately)
Other than the ones you listed, here's a few of my favourite episodes (I haven't read the manga yet) that I'd like to see in this new series: -The episode when Ataru eats some of the food Ran made for Rei and Lum thinks he's been poisoned. So she has to go to that other world to get an antidote. There is a really powerful moment when Lum thinks she's too late to save Ataru. -The two parter when Lum loses her memory and Mandou takes her to live at his estate. It was a showcase for one of my favourite characters, Megane, when he wears a proto-Keroberos Wolf Brigade armour (a little experimenting there, Oshii?) -The episode where Ataru's class accidentally eats those magic mushrooms and they have some kind of weird talent show while hopped up. It is just so weird and funny. -The episode when Benten and Ryounosuke team up. I just like both characters and I think they play well off each other.
@@isaacmartinez2359 It's a 77 episode "Darling's Dying" and chapter 162 "My Love, Darling's Peril!!". I'll add that the creators of the anime added a lot from themselves (for benefit of the story, in my opinion).
That's funny, David Pro beat you to number 8 before you could finish! Also I rewatched Beautiful Dreamer earlier today before watching this, so I got ahead of you there too! XD
One of my favorite episodes from the original is "The Last Date" episode and I'll be disappointed if they don't remake it. It might be a bit too pessimistic for the current remake but one of the reasons I loved the original is because the tones could shift so much sometimes.
My favourites would be all the episodes of Lum, Benten, Oyuki (my obsession) & Ran. Their relationships are just so fascinating, plus LOVE seeing their ridiculous alien social norms/ quirks/ tech.
i think that one of the greatest chapters to adapt is also the one with the rabbits working on possible futures with doors, i think it really was a turning point in ataru's development as an individual, not only that but it also was a major point for shinobu's dev, she's the earliest to appear in the serie but her developement only starts at volume 17
Yes, this one is actually in my top three arcs in the series, I just read it right after making the video but I want to talk about it in the future for sure!
Every volume of the manga make me laugh a lot . Every chapters is worthy of an anime adaptation, thankfully I have seen some O.A.V. identical to the manga I hope they will convert every chapter . The chapter whom I refer to is theone with the pool trap setted up by the principal and Onsen.
I enjoy the episode "And then there were none." I think it's one of the better "Ataru shows his love for Lum" episodes. The way he reacts after finding her... Damn good stuff IMO.
That's not going to be adapted because it's a OG anime episode only (wasn't from manga). All the exclusive OG anime episodes were good though... some of the best, actually (And then there were none was voted as second best episode in Japan, behind After you've gone which has always been n.1)
@@windswar sadly I've never read the manga, even though it was as the first anime I ever purchased on DVD in '02 so I'm not sure if some of the characters will show up (Ten).
After reading the Manga, I really would like to see the Chapters with the Pair Coats and and Shouting T-Shirt get adapted just because they have a good Ataru and Lum moments
At least two of the episodes on your list got animated in the remake series. Maybe you can help me with an episode from the original Kitty run. I recently had a random memory from the early 2000s involving a gag in one of the early episodes (somewhere within the first 50) Best I can remember is that some female character has to do something to Ataru (or Lum) for her Order, but she keeps failing. The gag comes when she encounters a walking talking Racoon-Bear who describes itself as such, then gets hit by the animal followed by "YOU FOOL" as it's revealed to be the leader of her Order monitoring her progress. I don't know if it was a Manga adaptation or an original Kitty story. Do you know which episode this is?
As a kid i watched urusei yatsura on the italian tv, and i liked it pretty much (lum literally was my first "waifu") but after some time i stopped watching it because the italian tv has this orrible thing that keep making the same episodes over and over again so i kinda got tired and stopped. But now, after 10 years i started (and almost finished) watching urusei yatsura manga and 1981 anime. What can i say i love this anime/manga, its just perfect for me and i love how it can be interesting, i watched battle shonen for basically all my life but they don't come near to how much i enjoy this series.
@@claytonwise5547 ik, its funny tho, urusei yatsura came around 1980/1 and me, a boy born in 2006 found Lum interesting as a character and then got a crush on her
Personally, I hope they remake the anime original episode "Benten & Ryunosuke - Run Toward Tomorrow!" (ep 112). It took Benten and Ryuu's relationship beyond what it was in the manga.
it won't happen probably, because aside from like, one detail from the 80's anime and that's the name of the fake girl in "How I've Waited For You" which is different from the manga, the adaptations seem to only stick to their manga origin.
That song is Happy End is Coming by Serani Poji! Actually, the whole Album that song is from is a hidden gem (It's called One Room Survival), just discovered it a few months ago and have been listening to it a lot lately. And thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video ☺
meenwhile the og tv series is still supoerior adaptation due to vastly better phasing we still don't have ten or ran while we already at oni war festival i feel like this adaptation ia all over the place while still being boring and uninventive i hate how bland looks all those screen extras drawn as just grey outlines 5:01 that was literally last episode and it was almost good but it was lacking something fun
I have the distinct feeling this "kindler, gentler" 21st. cty version (for tamer 21st. cty network sensibilities) is NOT going to give us Jariten...Which they probably couldn't do without onscreen "Please do not hit real babies with frying pans" disclaimers. 🍳 Which means we won't get the Ten vs. Ataru episode, the manga-iconic "From the Gardenia with Love" episode, Ten's firefighter mama, or the one where Ten is pursued on Valentine's Day by the equally Lum-determined kindergartner Mako.
