Is this worth a watch?

Yes

thanks

Not really. Tiresome slapstick antics.
Watch CCS instead.

Until Ataru Mom's episode, yes.

I hope you mean until after.

This.

Horrendously bad comedy.

...

Yeah, I mean there's nothing good to watch at the moment. Old animes are the best

sauce

It's not bad it's one of those shows you can watch an episode or two of here and there before bed and not have to be concerned about exactly what happened last time. There are recurring characters and ones that stick around

Most definitely. Still the best animoo in the past 40 years.

HS dxd and shinmao no testament are worst also mahouka

Can you watch UY 2: Beautiful Dreamer without seeing the show?

Google to the rescue

Nigga I use ask jeeves

It was twenty years ago.

Urusei Yatsura

It's definitely worth a read.

surprisingly, pretty much. As long as you know some basics about the characters.

Rumiko Takahashi is shit

Are you a plotfag? Can't handle episodic character based comedy routines? Skip.

You'll only miss a classic with a lot of poignant moments and great imagery under it's lighthearted appearance.


It takes a few eps to really get things in motion.

Hence why the anime adaptations of her manga are always better.

It's pretty good. It has a lot of charm and it's pretty funny overall. Some jokes might seem tame and outdated but those are outweighed by sudden amazingly timed jokes that catch you off-guard. The show kinda drops off a bit by the time Studio DEEN takes over at episode 128.
Don't expect the relationship between Ataru and Lum to actually go anywhere though.
Definitely, but they don't really make an effort to introduce the characters in the movie so the way they act will probably seem a bit random.

I was ready for that so as l the continuity from the series is unnecessary it's all good. Thanks for the answer, sempai.

I was just thinking about reading or watching it myself.

However, going from what I read it's quite generic.

In fairness, it came around before it was generic, but now it is.

If you like Oshii psychedelic scenes, it becomes really good around episode 30. They drop the two stories/chapters per episode format, allowing them to add much more anime original stuff, which generally goes very strongly in random imagery nonsense. Sometimes for comedy, sometimes for a different darker atmosphere.

Even the staff that takes over with episode 107 still attempts to emulate Oshii sometimes, although not as frequently as in the 2nd half of Oshii's episodes.

It isn't, really. It spawned a lot of tropes that lesser animes after it would stick to religiously, but Urusei Yatsura itself was clearly created by people who cared about it and the staff weren't afraid to experiment a bit.
Granted, in the final quarter of the show, most characters kinda turn into one-joke catchphrase-spouting non-characters, but it's really good until then.

Uruseyatsura originated many tropes. You should.

You have to appreciate it for what it was at it's time. If you look at history, it is probably the most creative works in Takahashi's catalogue compared to Ranma and Inuyasha. Everything else has been inspired by many series prior compared to what's already been serialized in the 80's. Ranma was most likely inspired by Monkey Punch's Cinderella Boy and Inuyasha probably from Kotaro's Breakthrough.

According to Takahashi, Ranma was actually her trying to retell Urusei Yatsura to be what she wanted. Since she wanted Shinobu to win instead of Lum. So basically that's what Akane/Shampoo are.

>Don't expect the relationship between Ataru and Lum to actually go anywhere though.

Even in the movies?

Best manga
