The oldest video on TH-cam is 19 years old. It is already difficult to find videos on this site older than 15, so it’s amazing to find an upload from the earliest days of the platform!
@@tails5784 It was OK. I was hoping they'd have more fun with it and be a little more daring and experimental with the source material to create a modern "Reiwa version" as people on the Japanese internet refer to it, but I guess it's fine. I'm not as stoked for season 2 as I wish I were and feel more just _obligated_ to watch it than anything, but maybe it'll find its feet and have the horses to get a little more crazy. Like actually put weird and weird together and make it even weirder, as I heard one time. It feels more like simply a "victory lap" for the 70s & 80s manga than a proper 2020s reboot taking full advantage of the intervening 40 years of comedy, but it's not like Takahashi's work doesn't deserve it, and it's fun to see a new generation discover it as well. But yeah I want to see them really go nuts with it-Faithfully adapting the Urusei Yatsura manga ironically does not feel like it's in the spirit of Urusei Yatsura.
@@frogisis daaamn, did you really answer? WOW! And yes, i started to watch the original series, after i met the 2022´s version. After seeing the original one, i can say that 2022´s series isn't the same thing that the original is. I believe there is space for improvement, especially after the break time for the second season. And YES. I want to see more crazier things
@@samuellopes8130 Yeah like it can still be set in the '80s, they can still use rotary phones and wear leg warmers and have adorable floofy hair and all that, but we don't live in the '80s and we're not 1980s people, we're 2020s people-We've had 4 decades since Takahashi drew those comics, chock full of people being funny and clever and creative (a lot of them influenced by her!), and so just adapting her original manga almost shot-for-shot and line-for-line like they've been doing so far isn't going to actually _be_ the same thing as it was back in that era, because _we're_ different. They're wonderful comics (I translated a bunch of them into English back in the '00s!) but they already exist, and we already know what Urusei Yatsura feels like back in that time-I wanna see what it can feel like here in our time. I definitely appreciated Ataru having a smartphone in the opening, at least-I hope that's like a foot in the door to open up more space to play with time and content and media techniques. _Obviously_ I'm not saying to literally do a timeskip to like 2023 and have them all be like Gen Alpha cool teens-I think we can all agree that would suck ass (except maybe as a one-off gag)-but contemporary spoof and satire have always been a huge part of Urusei Yatsura, and if you're putting a cutoff date on that because of when it originally came out then you're not actually adapting the totality of the work. How would people in the 1980s be able to do like a visual parody of Call Me By Your Name or a riff about social media pile-ons or whatever? _Who cares?!_ It's Tomobiki, baby! You've got a setting where absolutely nothing is impossible, so you can EASILY introduce a version of concepts from our lives here through alien technology or sorcery, which could actually be really funny if done well. Wacky, anything-goes comedies following in UY's wake like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei or Osomatsu-san or Pop Team Epic (and that's just in Japan) have shown us all kinds of new things you can do-Like as a throwaway bit just have one of Lum's gadgets go wrong and suddenly a scene is all live-action sock puppets or claymation or drawn on the animators' hands or something, or better yet do things I'd never even think of and make Urusei Yatsura once again as groundbreaking & innovative as it was 40 years ago. All they need is some space to play and the chutzpah to not worry about pissing off the worst kind of fans.
Rumiko Takahashi actually influenced anime and manga artists. (she wrote Urusei Yatsura btw) She was one of the 1st to come out with such stories, and the romance she uses in her stories is amazing, I love how it doesn't just rush to them admitting their love, but you know its there. and darkreaper2518 this is an amazing anime, clearly you dont know what a true anime is.
Outstanding username. This guy was being sarcastic, but I heard from somewhere certain TV channels in some states were once shared with more than one station. The end result was literally Japanese language anime mixed with NASCAR and PBS.
It was on one PBS station, in California, in the Bay Area (San Francisco, Oakland) Here is a clip from the station on Evangelion m.th-cam.com/video/NzuYEk52Ucc/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUORXZhbmdlbGlvbiBwYnM%3D Plenty of TH-cam videos cover the subject, and the station’s Wikipedia mentions it under “programming”.

Admittedly, what got me in this opening is, try to be suprised, the giggling. I don't know why, but it got me and I find it to be charming. I don't know who is doing it that, but I imagine it could have been Lum, who also must have sang that song.
I was reading the original work which is being serialized in the magazine put at the cheap eating place in my college days. And after long every day past, when I found Lum moving for the first time in TH-cam, I felt a fresh impression.
@@fwef7445 I don't think so. Some new show are pretty sick ! Like Demon Slayer , Tokyo Revenger , Violet Evergarden or Dr Stone. I think the problem with new shows is that there is too much shitty Isekai with no soul. But obviously It doesn't mean that every post 2010 show is shit
This song's character choreography is supprisinly fluid, it looks good even after 30 years. I can't think of any video besides visiting the zoo that is older than this video, I'm sure I have seen one older since I've been watching TH-cam since I was a kid in the 2000's, but nothing immediately comes to mind.
i love urusei yatsura and am beyond glad that after so many years it’s been getting a lot more attention. not to mention the trend popped off the day the final episode of the reboot aired. now THAT’S what you call impeccable timing :)
I'm a sucker for retro anime, and I REALLY wanted to enjoy this one since the artstyle is really visually appealing and the characters seemed fun, but the show itself is just so mean spirited in it's humor and it's hard to really enjoy it, even if it isn't meant to be taken seriously.
One of my favorites shows ever. I own almost all the Animeigo VHS tapes. Lum is my favorite anime girl ever. Though Mikuru from The Melancholy of.... is a close second.
i remember watching the first episode and thinking that this anime is too old to be good. The art and animation looks dated. Then I got up to the end of the anime thinking "This is probably the best anime I've seen in a long time." And this song is so catchy XD Also Rizelmine must have ripped off this OP real bad with it's repeated line "Let's Do It."
