The artwork in the remake is quite good. I'll rewrite what I wrote about the main series in the remake.I wish there was a plot, an event sequence, a development, something to add flavor, but there's none of that; it's a series made just to get through the day. When compared to Dragon Ball or Gundam, which came out around the same time, it's clear why it pales in comparison. I won't even bother responding to those who say it's not the same genre or that the writer chose this style; I'll just note that. Of course, it shook things up at the time, but it's also quite clear why it's still not popular today.

Season 2 of Urusei Yatsura is a noticeable step down from the first season in several ways, and it was hard to watch overall. Where Season 1 felt fresh and full of inventive comedic setups, Season 2 struggles with repetition. The humour often leans too heavily on familiar gags, making many episodes feel like retreads rather than new adventures.
The comedy only really regains its spark when fresh characters are introduced—these moments bring back the energy and unpredictability that made the first season so entertaining. Unfortunately, the show rarely sustains that momentum for long, settling back into overused jokes and predictable scenarios.
Another weak point is the writing, especially noticeable in the final arc. A few plot holes and inconsistencies stand out, making the conclusion fe…

This review takes both seasons into consideration.
I'm glad I finally gave this classic story a chance. It was really, really entertaining. The pacing of the gags, the direction of the emotional scenes, the art direction, the character designs, the way the writers stitched different chapters around to introduce the supporting characters and give the illusion of development...Chef's kiss. As an Inuyasha fan who's now re-discovering Ranma 1/2 through its excellent remake (so far), this series definitely managed to capture the spirit of Rumiko Takahashi's writing.
Funnily enough, I think they dropped the ball on AtaLum just a bit in comparison. Season 1 adapts two very romantic stories during the first half of the season and then we don't reach the same heights with them until the end of it…

A funny and good comedy show, its really well done and its foe every age, its just dumb stuff happening in the screen for 20 minutes ti forget about your sad life for a moment, funny and weird characters in funny and weird situations and you have a success, it's nothing complicated, it's nothing interesting its just dumb fun ok, overall its well animated, well made and well pace, it's just enough to entertain for 20 minutes ok, it's overall a fantastic show to watch with your friends or folks, sone episodes are better than others and sometimes you can skip episodes, nothing wrong with skipping one or two boring episodes guys, its nit school or job, skipping parts in JoJo its ok too (i skipped part 3 so boring)

Overall, the series did a fantastic job at bringing back memories from the original, but I don't know if I recommend it to anyone who isn't already familiar with the 80's anime or manga. Its purpose of being a "best hits" is definitely achieved and it's much more tame than the first handful of episodes from the original, but the fast pacing really drags the series down in my opinion. Regardless, it achieved its sole purpose and it was enjoyable to rewatch UY in a new style and with a few new episodes. If you're a fan of the original, you'll probably be a fan of the remake.

This my first time writing a thing like a review but for the sake of sharing how i feel of this anime I write one. The joy I feel when watching the anime mostly comes from the interaction of Ataru and Lum super sweet regardless the BIGGEST MALE TSUNDERE I ever witness the pighead ATARU. The side character is enjoyable to watch too.A little highlights to Mendo's voice actor whose really giving it all that I can feel his emotion. Not forget to mention TEN-CHAN who is cute and naughty. It is just that this type of anime is rarely too be seen and as good as this.The oppening too,From op1-op4 all of it is worth to not skip. And as it progress the OP seem to get more deeper related to relationship of ATARU AND LUM. That it from me, FOR those who are still in doubt I can say that this anime is to…

This anime has been a pleasure to watch since its pilot in October 2022. I religiously sat down every Thursday night to watch it, and I have no regrets. The OG UY has its charm, but this one really is eye candy when it come to the art style and visual colors. The story itself is engaging, funny, and while it plays on the whole “I don’t love you (but deep down I really, really do)” trope; it was a delight. I would typically say that the gags are repetitive, but even so, the adaptation overall kept things engaging and enjoyable for me. I loved seeing how the adaptation evolved, and honestly just cannot recommend this one more. Everything from the intro/outro to the artwork, to the story and the characters really give it new life.

Definitely worse than season 1 in a lot of aspects but overall the season is enjoyable
The problems with S2 is that the comedy is repetitive throughout the show with only fresh comedy when new characters are introduced and a couple plot holes mostly in the final arc
The ending is good, the Character development is good, accept Ataru and a few of the side characters Voice acting is amazing fits the characters really well, Pacing is good, Soundtrack is good The second opening is not as good as the previous openings id say its adequate Animation is beautiful the staff did amazing on it sets the atmosphere really well compared to the 80s version.
Overall the final season of Urusei Yatsura is very good with a few quality drops in some aspects but overall a very good satisfying final season.

~datcha! Urusei Yatsura, the cult series from 1978, is back for another season of exciting, funny, romantic, or just plain crazy stories in a new guise. As in the first reboot season, the series jumps back and forth between the 366 chapters of the manga original. In some places, very early chapters are cleverly connected to very late chapters via cliffhangers and in general the chapters - which were very freely adapted in the original series, as was usual at the time - are implemented much closer to the manga here. With the adaptation of "Intention", chapter 12 from March 20, 1979, which is being adapted into an anime for the first time in 45 years, the season even provides a small sensation.
The second season also introduces a few new characters that make the UY universe richer and more…

It was a pleasure to have seen this remake, who would have thought that a manga released in the 70s and anime in the 80s would be so great today. I have to comment on two things that I think are important to understand my liking (and I think several) for the story.
First, comment on what Rumiko once said, a romance story should end when the couple confesses (since consequently they should start being boyfriend and girlfriend), this makes a lot of sense if you look at the concept itself (in animes or stories) about Romance. What's the point of telling a romance story if this is already love? The fact that the couple has confessed is no longer about the classic Boy Meets Girl. I don't want to launch this as a criticism of current romance stories. In itself, this concept of Rumiko has good a…

I really enjoyed this season. It's been a couple of decades since I read the manga so it was great to revisit everything because I'd forgotten the details of how things ended lol But that didn't matter because the story is a classic for good reason and really held up decades later even though at times it was clearly a product of the 70's and 80's. Everyone's still kind of an a-hole but at the same time endearing none the less. The ending was true the characters and a little bonkers like Takashashi likes to make her comedy endings. It was a great revival project and makes me hope we might get more such projects with other Takahashi works.
If you enjoyed the previous seasons and/or the manga then you'll likely enjoy this season too.

As I sit here speechless after the conclusion of the Urusei Yatsura remake, the only thing that I can say is “wow”. Takahashi Rumiko’s critically acclaimed work was so far ahead of its time and it’s really hard to conceptualise how influential this series has been. Every major romcom and romance story owes a lot to this story and I’m so glad I got to experience this remake. A must watch for any fan of romcoms, gag humour, comedy anime or just those looking to learn about anime history.
Urusei Yatsura is unfortunately a victim of its own success. Takahashi Rumiko created so many modern romcom tropes in UY that are seen everywhere in modern anime, so people may not appreciate the novelty and think of UY as cliche or generic, when those tropes were literally created here first. Lum is credit…

Urusei Yatsura (2022) - It's the same All-Stars treatment from 1.5 years ago, if you can even recall that far.
The 2nd half of the All-Stars modern reboot of Rumiko Takahashi's Urusei Yatsura...what can I say? Everything about my original review from the first half can be applied here, albeit with the only difference being the number of people still sticking to Season 2 here after finishing the first just back in Winter last year.
Obviously, the second season of the modern reboot series attempts to wrap up what makes Ataru Moroboshi and Lum's relationship so endearing and charming, despite the same whimsical pitfalls of the former being the undisputed playboy, and the latter having to suffer endlessly of when will said guy ever give her the light of day and attention. Together with the e…
