I don't mind them both, they both have their charm and I admire that the reboot is trying to do something different to appeal to both old and new generation fans

New version comes closer to what it was in the original manga. This version pretty much removes making the mob characters themselves as they never were in the original manga.

It's worth noting that, in the 80s Urusei Yatsura, the general level of misanthropy does ebb over time, something that's most noticeable in Shinobu's character. However, the staff of that show continually push boundaries further and further. The comedic timing is continually spot on, with an intensifying energy in many episodes matching Regular Show; the animation is often impressive even to this day, such as with Lum's skating tricks or the first-person chase sequences; and the tone of the show gets more and more varied, with some episodes dropping the comedy almost entirely in lieu of stuff that's sentimental, or action-packed, or unsettling. Really grunge themes start to emerge of, like, societal dissatisfaction, and the irreplaceable yet fleeting nature of youth, and the perils of chasing impossible dreams. Heck, the fourth movie is pretty much an art film, inviting the audience to an uncomfortable position of acknowledging how the show evolved over time and, while Tomobiki will always be in our hearts, our time in it as viewers must one day end -- like youth, trying to make it go on forever will lead to self-destruction. Really avant-garde stuff, and you can consistently see the staff's passion and skill shining through the entire UY production. (Incidentally, though I am not as huge of a fan of it, I also think their more grounded and mature follow-up in Maison Ikkoku is also impeccably directed). I don't want to knock David Production's work on the remake as terrible, as it's clear their putting in a solid effort, and the colors and character designs are all quite quality. That being said, I do get the sense that they're on autopilot, reusing many of their tricks for Jojo that just don't translate to UY's style of storytelling. There's an over-reliance on on-screen onomatopoeia and moments of high-intensity color shifts, but while in Jojo that helps in giving form and intensity to the characters' inner machinations and their stands' more abstract powers, here it just feels kind of weak. As though it's a substitute for the strong composition and timing of the original, or a manifestation of a pressure to "stick closer to the original manga" taken too literally. There's also a sense that somebody misunderstood why people screamed a bunch in the original show. The characters got loud often in the original as well, but there was more buildup to those moments. And when they screamed, they freaking SCREAMED; it was as though they had an entirely different voice for when they were mad, Ran especially so! DavidPro were kind of given an impossible task when asked to re-adapt UY; the original, for a variety of reasons, was lighting-in-a-bottle, and trying to reinterpret the manga again when the first adaptation was such a landmark would inevitably yield tough comparisons. That being said, I think if this were given to a different team or if the direction was stronger, there could have been something that either recaptured the spirit of the original or was different but stood out in it's own right.

Absolutely love that the show came back for people who haven't watched it but honestly the original show was infinitely better

I really like the new version for what it is. When it was first announced last year, I expected to hate it because the original happens to be my favorite anime series of all time, especially as the og story/animation kept getting better as the series progressed. It was okay, I still prefer the original, but everyone are free to like what they want!

I really miss Megane and the Stormtroopers and original voice of both Fumi hirano as Lum and TOSHIO FURUKAWA Darling aka Ataru they are perfect together they show us why we the fan's love Lum and Her Darling aka Ataru in Urusei Yatsura ❤😊

Mamoru Oshii (Director of the of the original series until beautiful dreamer) never saw himself as a good comedic director. On the contrary he was a fantastic one. it’s hard to replicate his style.

Never really thought about it until now that you mentioned them but Ataru's friends feel like more of an afterthought in the new adaptation. Design-wise Megane in particular looks like a mob character.

I do agree that old is better, but I still absolutely adore the new one :D

The original Urusei Yatsura episode 10 8:17 had more of a big storytelling for lum and her darling aka Ataru with great voice actor's both Fumi hirano as Lum and TOSHIO FURUKAWA as Ataru perfect together ❤️⚡☺️

i think the only thing that's missing on the reboot version is the exaggerated expressions. it kinda feels like the director want to play it safe rather than letting the animators do whatever they want to make the animation feels more like animation.

I love both adaptations, although the original will always have a special place in my heart.

I kinda prefer the new one, normally i'm for the older versions of things because the new one tends to screw something up or the director does something drastic. But honestly I like the new one more because it's more concentrated on it's comedy then the older version which it's comedy is SO CHAOTIC especially in the sound mixing and editing. Yes everyone in the newer version isn't as backstabby in the original but it's more subtle this time. Everyone is still motivated by shallow self interest but it's not as out loud and more conniving to me which i can appreciate more.

The reboot is fantastic but yeah the original is a little bit better by 1%. I am not nostalgic for Urusei Yatsura. I am watching both for the first time at the same time. *Reboot* Pro: Introduces the characters faster, has a better art style, has awesome theme songs and it's basically the same story Con: They censor the violence a bit more. They have more freeze frames. *Original:* Pro: It's a little bit funnier and we get more Ten. He is one of my favorite characters. The episodes are longer after the first 20 so they have time to put in more jokes. *Con:* The art style shows it's age but it still looks good. It also takes forever to introduce the characters. Ruyoko is one of my favorite characters and she shows up sooner in the reboot.

I just appreciate the 2022 anime got me in to this franchise to begin with. I can't really comment on the differences from the original since I've never seen it. -but I'm inclined to agree that there was more narrative substance going on in that Christmas episode. However without that context I still found the remake to be just as emotionally resonant and I can tell there has been a lot of care put in to the new adaptation. There was always going to be changes bringing it in to a new era and landscape of anime. I think it might be more of a case of both having their pros and cons. It's just a matter of personal preference really...

There is NO anime like the original. You can tell the people who worked on that show WANTED to be there. It’s one of, not only the greatest anime, but greatest SHOWS I ever seen.

Both versions are very good.. The new version is a greater representation of what the creator probably wanted… but the character development of the old series is a lot better…. All of the original old characters have taken a life of their own..

The new show is more true to the Manga. But the old one had Mamorou Oshi taking lots of creative liberties to turn the ideas from the manga into more of a show. They're both great to have though. I wouldn't say the new version is "redundant". I think if you want a show that's more literal to Rumiko Takahashi's work, then you'll prefer the new anime. But if you want something that is more dramatic and artsy, then the old one is absolutely better, especially in it's first two seasons.

To be honest, I like both versions.

You made your points perfectly! The Xmas episode's hilarious yet subtly sweet plot moved me to tears back in the 80s... and still does. Many talented artists crafted the original manga adaptation, and it shows in every episode. Terrific upload, ARIGATŌ!!

It makes sense though. mamoru oshii was responsible for many episodes in the OG urusei yatsura and his love for the cinema and shot composition really shines. Also the OG urusei yatsura had many surreal moments and it got weird at times and the 80's aesthetics really helped the show. While enjoying the new one, I felt the entire show lacks the "Vibe"

Also the original has the really interesting films as well especially that second one Beautiful Dreamer

The old one wins in literally every single aspect, especially one aspect i want to talk about is the soundtrack. The complete ost for the original anime is a goddamn 15 disc BEAST, and at least 90% of the tracks are insanely memorable. Meanwhile with the new one, aside from the OPs, i can't remember a single track from the top of my head.

keep in mind, though both being based on the manga. the new urusei yatsura, is alot more aligned with the manga. Mamoru Oshii(yes that mamoru oshii) really put his stamp on the character and the humor during his tenor on the show, which is like 100 episodes or so plus the first couple of films.

I like them both! They have their own charm, and that’s pretty interesting to me!

Both animes are unique of its own. The original adaptation inserted a lot of creativity that isn't in the manga, and the new one insterted creative things while being true to the manga. I like both anime at least, and I really enjoy watching them.

Onsen is Ataru's teacher for virtually all of the show, he didn't replace the older teacher, the latter isn't even a proper character to begin with. Putting that aside I agree with you completely, maybe it was because of Mamoru Oshii or because the show has some of that "80's magic", anyways, if you dislike the new one having only watched 10 chapters of the original, you'll absolutely hate the remake by the time you fully watch the 1981 version , i say this since that one's first 50 or so episodes aren't the best the show has to offer, like, at all.

New voice actors are doing great job with the characters they are given. But Toshio Furukawa and Fumi Hirano will always be Ataru and Lum to me.

I honestly like the reboot a bit more because it seems to follow the manga a lot closer XD also the visuals are colorful and I like that. The OG has great scenes and jokes too tho

I've watched both and I truly enjoyed both versions, both have charm and are truly entertaining. It's just people's preferences. Doesn't really bother me this is just like how most folks prefer DBZ than DBZ Kai.

The new one is fine and a solid introduction for new viewers. But the older version is definitely better. Also the teacher that appeared in the reboot was also a mainstay in the original, they just took awhile until they replace the other one.

Today 2024 after the show’s completion i find the original is vastly more interesting and more satisfying. The new adaptation does fall short and it does feel watered down.

The creative liberty made the original Adaption so God like.

I love both versions!

People keep making the mistakes of thinking that since the new is more close to the manga, allegedly, it means all the characterization in the old one was thanks to Oshii

The modern animation is far superior to the 80s anime The original is better in literally every other way

as a fan of the og i have the same opinion as u i think the new one is fine but something feels like its missing and it needs some spice

I disagree with most of this. I never really thought about Ataru's friends that much. I am more interested in the main characters. Ataru, Lum, Shinobu, Ruyonske, Royoku, Mendou, etc. I would rather see them get more focus.

wow, this video put me to tears. i totally forgot about how they chose to portray lum as a literal INVADER. its been a few years since ive seen the original and i have been really enjoying the remake. i definitely feel a difference but it was hard to put into words. i do still feel like the remake has ALOT of effort put into it, but thats mostly because every other remake feels heartless in comparison. i am also very happy with all the new merch that has been released and i hope we get more!

I miss those Megane and Company even though they are not cannon they are just great.

they "should" be seen as two "different" animes, new version adopted a more romantic approce while older decisely have a focus on folklore comedia

It was never a question as far as I'm concerned, new is fun, old is best.

the original urusei yatsura manga is really great. it was written by one of the all-time greats rumiko takahashi whose resume speaks for itself. but the thing is while the urusei yatsura manga is fantastic, the 1980s anime adaptation is a masterpiece. and i know that as a fan boy that probably doesnt mean much coming from me, but if you just look at the staff. the og director for the first half of the series was mamoru oshii, THE mamoru oshii of patlabor and ghost in the shell fame. it had the voice talents of toshio furukawa and shigeru chiiba, people who are industry legends now but who were still just rising up back then. fumi hirano just IS lum to me. and those first early episodes of the original are the ROUGH episodes, the series only improves with its run time. and thats kind of the problem with the new adaptation. the original anime is one of those rare productions that improves upon the original in almost every way, but the new version is kind of just an adaptation. its a solid adaptation, 90% of manga would only be so lucky to get an adaption like this especially something as old as urusei yatsura, but i cant say i prefer it over the source material and i definitely cant say i prefer it over the 1980s anime.

I really like that Lum’s depiction feels more accurate to the manga and I really like that

This is interesting. I'm British, and I didn't really get Urusei Yatsura until I saw those British dubbed episodes. The joke you criticised for having no build up actually really made me cackle. It's much closer to British humour in that execution than American. Obviously both are actually Japanese humour. And I do like both. But I do prefer the reboot. I found the joke delivery hit me harder and I wonder if that's because of my nationality. I noticed US media has a lot of set up and explanation with their jokes!

They are both good, but the original is obviously 10 times better. A lot of stuff is missing due to how condensed the new show is. It's like a lot of characters are almost absent.

Well I agree that Megane's gang weren't so enthusiastic and crazy as the OG adaptation I really missed the crazy obssesion of Megane with Lum, specially cause Shigeru Chiba performance as Megane was top notch (well at least he was recasted as Ryunossuke's dad, which is a great role for him anyway) Well about Onsen mark which is the name of the teacher that appears in the new adaptation, is actually in the original UY anime, he's the teacher of Ataru's class mostly in the series, yeah there are 3 teachers before him, (like the one you mentioned) but they aren't as relevant as Onsen mark in my opinion, so sticking with Onsen mark from beginning to end isn't a bad choice for me, and about the christmas episode yeah I think it has some lack of detail, like atmosphere and thematic, but I don't think the episode wouldn't work as well with the relationship of Lum and Ataru, in both the original version and the new one Lum saves Ataru of being humillated, so in both cases the point and the consequences are the same, but yeah in that regard the original version showed the events of this episode much better. Personally I think the new adaptation is good and funny, but the original has the charm of the 80's, cause UY is a Lovecom from the 1978 to the 80's and remaking a lovecom from the 80's is really hard nowadays, cause there's a lot of details and characterization that won't trascend as well as the original version, for example Ataru's personallity, some jokes would have to be turn down a little and that is not an easy task at all, in the end I think both adaptations are very good, and the new one it was very successful too. I think it isn't about which one is better or not, I think the focus should be if the new UY show works well in this era or not, and I think it does pretty good, they modernized the show pretty well, the original always gonna have more details and charm cause is an 80's anime, but this new adaptation brought very well the humor of UY to this era, well I think that if it would be necessary to make a more fair comparison we should wait until the new adaptation finishes.

2:13 That teacher was only there for one episode. Onsen-Mark (The teacher from the reboot) was their teacher from episode 37 onward, although I do recall him appearing at the end of episode 5 as an unnamed teacher.

For a channel with just 2k subs ur editing was awesome keep it up 👍

The comparison with how The Simpsons changed, so much it birthed the term "Flanderization", to this show is just so spot on.

After 15 years this song still never gets boring.

Based. I didn't realize there was a whole level of irony missing because the townsfolk were toned down! I'll have to watch the original now!

The animation in the original show is beautiful and has a lot of charm.

As a big fan of the original, I would say the new series is pretty good, but it's like reading an abridged version of a book. So it's missing chunks of narrative development the original had with longer episode counts for the story arcs.

Btw, the remake of Ranma is coming soon , i will be curious how that remake ends up. Definitely make a video about that one

The old series is better for other reasons too. For one thing, the art & animation are better, the colours are more vibrant & alive, even the backgrounds are rendered in lush, beautiful watercolours & acrylics (I wish I could frame them & hang them on my walls), and the layout has more depth, almost a 3d cinematic feel to it (which explains why the series & characters adapted so well to feature films & OVAs.) The character animation was also better on the original; much more vibrant, dynamic, lively and expressive; even the facial expressions were so on-point that you almost knew what the characters were thinking before they spoke, and the comic-exaggerations (when & where appropriate) were so wild and side-splittingly funny. The new version however has none of these qualities. The colours are flat & washed out & lifeless, the animation is stiff and (again) lifeless, the characters' faces are devoid of much if any expression, everything looks flat, stiff & repetitive, as though it were rendered with a set of rubber-stamps. I don't know if they were trying to cut costs or if modern artists just plain don't know how to animate like they used to back in the 1980s, or if they farmed it out to some 3rd rate studio in some other country to do the animation grunt-work or what, but the new series is, on several levels, just plain *_dull_* in comparison to the original '80s series. It's dull, flat, washed-out & bland. And they try to compensate for this by pushing everything along as such a hectic, frantic, breakneck pace that you barely have a chance to catch your breath or even have time to fully let the jokes & gags register. Lastly, although the voices of the 2 main characters are good, they still lack a good portion of charm & appeal of the original voice-actors, and the voices of the supporting characters aren't even close; some are _way_ off, in fact. I mean, admittedly, the new version has _some_ good qualities: it follows the original manga-stories more closely than the old series did, but still, that all comes at a tremendous cost in terms of the other trade-offs listed above.

New is good but old is best as the old saying goes.

Thanks for making this. The OG series is genuinely my favorite anime of all time. I hate seeing how they butchered it

Thank you for this video. You described it perfectly

In the new one, you didn’t like Ataru doing the shadow clone out of nowhere 😂😂😂

As an Urusei Yatsura scholar I disagree heavily with this video, I see where you're coming from but personally I found a lot of the characters in the 70s version way too cartoonishly one note and the story itself got lost in the majority of it's episodes being filler. This did lead to some great anime original episodes but I am very happy with this updated, more accurate interpretation of the manga that still keeps the heart of the series

Would you ever do a review of the original Urusei Yatsura movie's that would make a great video to see because nobody has never done it before 🤔

Hi, wanted to say thanks, finally a video that isn't on the delusional side of things that new is better because of new animation, closer to the manga, or whatever BS comes up. What's worse, every argument used goes like this: -the "old" anime looks dated (especially the first season). Well, when asked what was definitely better at the same time frame (1981), they can't answer. -the "old" anime had a lot of filler, this (the new one) is closer to the manga. As if being a copy and paste of the manga was a guarantee of a good anime, and when you point out to these guys the very low rate of filler (less than 1 episode in 5) compared to other Japanese series like say, Detective Conan, Naruto, they resort to diversion tactics such as implying the level of discussion is lower than ever (sigh...) -they don't have the time to watch 100 episodes of the classic anime but they do for things like Detective Conan (1000+ episodes half of which are fillers), Naruto, and so forth... -The reboot has a better artsyle (?)... Well it's 2020s artsyle so is that really an argument in its favor? (especially considering that this artsyle isn't all close to the manga which is from 1978 remember?). To be clear: No I don't think so. If I sound harsh, that's because I feel that the justifications often used to preferring the new one are all missing the point. Anyway, enough ranting, I could go on and on. To say, I am in agreement with all of the points you set out, I've also outlined this in some forums to be downvoted because I wasn't going with the flow, you just outlined everything that is wrong with this adaptation, the pacing is so rushed it renders the characters annoying, the jokes just are flat since they cut things here and there, the general atmosphere to me is 2020s, not at all 1980s, as evidence by how much toning down has been done to the characters, so much so that I feel it is Urusei Yatsura Lite... Did we really need that? The classic show is a masterpiece of creativity, and it generally did improve upon the manga, while this thing can't even acurately be a copy of the manga it claims to be. I have often wondered what was the purpose of this reboot, but then, I remembered the Japanese practice of using anime series to drive sales of merchandise and that struck me as logical in that context. To finish, I have (rather forcefully at times) watched all 23 episodes, and they still leave a plastic feel in my taste compared to the original. So unlike most bloggers and fanbase, I don't want any Ranma or Maison Ikkoku remake. It is better at times to leave classics in the past.

Onsen Mark existed in the original too

I laughed and sobbed so much with the 2022 amine. Then I watched the old one looking at the recommendations like this, but unfortunately, I was bored. Anime drawing is often quite bad. Gags are not sharp. The worst thing is that the story goes quite slow like buying time. I was frustrated. I felt good-bad really depends on the person. Or old guys tend to glorify old amine they watched young time?

Will you be part 3 of Urusei Yatsura original vs New

Rumiko takahashi born October 10, 1957. Her Zodiac sign is Libra(the second decan of Aquarius ♒). Ruled by Planet Venus and sub-ruled by both planet Saturn and Uranus.

deserves more views

Hi, person who has actually been around when the original was airing. Honestly, I feel the recreation does lack the mean spirit of the original, but it's frankly for the better. The original also took a lot of liberties which yes, they were good, but an adaptation could never inherit a lot of them because it would just not work in modern times. Honestly I'm glad the adaptation exist. Urusei Yatsura is such old anime that is difficult to fully present to new audencies, and this has definitely sparked a lot of interest back in a very good franchise sometimes shadowed by his more famous cousins.

People forget that Rumiko's original story wasn't all that… good…

I think both have their value

OG had better comedic timing, better pacing (characters were given longer and proper introduction thus jokes just hit better) not to mention that voice acting was superb. In new one almost every single character with expressive temperament (maybe except Lum and Ataru) were butchered and made sound generic. Ram is probably the biggest downgrade: in OG her V/A would goes from calm, quiet, sweet and tender to serious, loud, furious and scary back and forth. Sometimes it's leading to situations were she spits crazy threats with her girly, cute voice or tries to keep peace while her voice is almost going off. In remake it's all gone - she sounds like a normal, typical girl and when she goes mad she just sounds like a mad teenager. In og? Sweet idiot transforming into maniacal psycho xD

I realized what you did in the first episode. The scene where Shinobu promises to marry Ataru if he succeeds in saving earth was all I needed to see. In the original Ataru is acting ULTRA dramatic as if trying to manipulate Shinobu's emotions with a "And tomorrow we may all die" speech only for Shinobu to agree with his self deprecations that his horniness is the cause for all of this which shoots his plan right in the foot lol. In the new one nothing like this happens, they couldn't recreate it.

I like the new one cause I can actually find it.

I hope they remake the episode “Full of Sunshine - Full of Amours” in this 2022 version

The 2010's ovas are even better besides the fart jokes.

Drawing everyone else blue to create contrast is r4yc1st?... Americans sure have such a warped mindset...

Sad urusei yatsura😢❤

me and my husband love them both of course Mendo had a lot of Nazi like images. example when Mendo and Lum’s mothers fought each other in the original series and someone referred to the Mendo conglomerates Panzer division. my husband is grew up in the early 90s and watched this series at Misawa AFB as a little boy i was born in the 90s so i watched this series later and love the original. the music of the original was great and it’s what is missing in the new one. especially Lum’s love song which was played once in a while when it was very prevalent in the original.

Personally I enjoy the new anime a lot, but yeah it’s very much not directed by mamoru oshii. Though aside from the jokes pointed out here I think most of them are fairly similar in terms of how they hit much more often than not. I’m not really that broken up about the stakes in the kumino otoko episode because in both versions it just reads as varying degrees of petty high school bullshit and it’s not like Ataru hasn’t already been publicly humiliated worse before already, but I will also admit that the joke of the sheer lengths the stormtroopers go to are very funny. On the subject, I don’t really have strong feelings about the stormtroopers themselves or really how nasty the cast as a whole is. They were sufficiently dysfunctional for me in the modern one, and the ways in which it was mitigated didn’t really bother me enough. I also think that Lum is rather conniving in all versions. Not overly so, she’s by far the most emotionally honest person in the cast, but there was never really a difference as far as I could tell. I also like the coloring and style choices for character designs more, especially for the alien characters, and the more conventional style also helps characters like Ran, who’s meant to look as cute as can be. It doesn’t help everyone, mendou looks a bit worse, but overall I think the more realistic proportions makes the violence ironically more visceral. One of the things I love about Ranma 1/2 is that even though her drawings aren’t super detailed, Takahashi has an impeccable sense of physical comedy and posing and this new one really gets to that. And lastly, I’m not super big on how slow the older show can be at times. Not that it doesn’t use its time to just spin its wheels, but I often felt that the new one was more efficient without losing too much in return. Even when jokes are done in more conventional ways in the new one, they’re still done effectively. I can take a few dramatic scenes being cut because the dramatic side of the relationships are always more an undercurrent to their comedic side in takahashi’s work. Like you outlined, some of the comedy doesn’t work as well, but what does work well combined with the style choices that I do think have a genuine leg on the original ultimately make the new show a personal favorite for me. I say this as a guy who ranks beautiful dreamer on his top 5 anime, and the new one more around his top 46.

Thanks for the analysis. I never read the manga and im wondering if the old anime is more accurate to the manga . Specifically the points you made about the people in the town being assholes and cynical backstabbing or two faced jerks lol. Honestly , todays society NEEDS to see the orginal anime for that , cuz it will act as a mirror for them all cuz many people today are really self absorbed fake pieces of shit 😂

idk i really l ike the new reboot i mean i didnt watch the old one but i just love the new it has a very beautiful charm to it i cant ignore and i had massive fun watching it

This seems to be a frequent complaint about a lot of remakes. Lack of creativity in the storytelling approach. I've seen it with Sailor Moon Crystal, Rurouni Kenshin, and Urusei Yatsura.

Megan and Lum's stormtroopers are great because the reason they hate Ataru so much is why many in the audience hate Ataru. He got a beautiful alien waifu and... he doesn't even want her! Whats worse is she doesn't want anyone but him! This pisses them off so much lol

i had to drop out from this anime right before ten was going to be introduced because i don't feel anything for the remake breaking neck pase and so many jokes missing a punchline or direction, events out of order for new plot convinience the remake broke my heart by not making beef ball joke and it was making me hurt watching it every further gag it has good vibes and many bad ones like i only liked 2 va's from the series and that was ataru and his mum because after knowing them for so many episodes they just sound like guest actors replacements . it would be very hadr for me to get back and watch the rest just to be ready for next season, and they is not the feeling you are looking in your hobby

Only thing i liked in new adaptation more than old one was Daaarliiiing ya i didn't found it cringe but liked daaarliiiing more cute than just darling

The old show is where the fun's at. The new one isn't bad, but it's almost a lazy 1:1 adaptation of the manga if you don't count chapter order and the og anime added a lot of creativity over the manga imo. The only thing I don't like in the old show is that episode 14 shows Lum actually taking an interest in Mendo, it's short lived, but it's something that's supposed to happen BEFORE the Christmas episode (10) which is the deal sealer for Ataru and Lum.

... the new shows urusei yatsura focuses more on the progress in the bonds between lum and ataru, that's probably the reason why the other aspects feel bland, and the changes in the new characters feel more modern, modern problems require modern solutions after all, the OG brings inspiration to the new, but don't bad mouth the remixed masterpiece.

I don't even feel the love between the main two characters 😂 ataru and lum like wth is this and none of the jokes come thru In the new one sadly I just want new episodes to the original not a remake with fast pace to nothing

This anime is rather logical than emotional.

NOO actually the teacher that you're talking about in the new adaptation is called Onsen-mark and no in the original version that old teacher is also replaced with Onsen-mark and he's much better of a character there too! you should've watched more to see that, Onsen-mark then stays till like the end of the series. But also I do hate how the new show starts it by Ataru running and no one knows what the hell is going on, but the original shows you what actually happened before you get confused. The new show shifts some characters in both how they look which depends on the dumb new artstyle, but we gotta cope with it anyways then :\, and it shifts their characteristics like in the original version Lum's father is shown as a man with high loyalty and place and is a nice simple person with new people while the new show shows all of that except they show him as an evil invader instead, you can literally see that in the first episode and you'll get what I mean. I also HATE how they changed the 4 friends of Ataru's, well just like what they say, every masterpiece DOES have a cheap copy. But honestly, I am grateful that they at least thought of the show and made a reboot for it last year, it could have gone worse not gonna lie, I just hope they don't frick anything up anyway.

Way better.

Согласен что старая версия "Несносных Пришельцев" была явно лучше!

So basically you are saying that female characters re only enjoyable if they are completely flat and flawless and exist solely to inflate a male ego. The new story giving Lum some extra character and layers ruins it for you.

British dub is best

I dunno I like the new one

I watched two episodes of the Reboot and already got sick of it. It has all the cheap tropes of a low quality romance anime

I happened to watch an episode from the 80s' anime while staying in Osaka last years and it reminded me why I never stuck to it while being an Urusei Yatsura fan. The narration was too slow to not say sluggish regarding the original material (short humorous manga stories). I also always disliked the added anime schoolmates characters which didn't bring anything really interesting. Sasuke in the Ranma 1/2 anime was such a better addition in comparison. In the 80s' anime, the voice acting was often literally annoying and gosh, I have watched a lot of Hokuto no ken episodes. In comparison, Urusei Yatsura was close to torture to my ears.

.....no

DUDE, THE NEW ONE IS BETTER BECAUSE IT FOLLOWS CLOSELY THE ORIGINAL MANGA. THE OLD VERSION IS CRUMMY AS HELL - THE NEW URUSEI YATSURA ROCKS! ✊️
