DAMN that's a nice Lum. But how are they going to approach a new TV anime?

Well guess it's time to watch the original.

>>82610I'm sure with a good base he can do great directing.
No.82686
>>82683Oh. hmmmm
Well I guess it's not needed then, though people should really watch the originals since that's a ludicrously high bar to meet animation-wise.
I can't remember, did the manga keep Atsuro's girlfriend as the main girl? I remember reading that Rumiko wanted her to be the focus, but everyone liked Lum and she kind of took over to meet audience demand. I don't remember if that was for the manga or for the anime adaptation
No.82689
>>82686>AtsuroAtaru?
Shinobu also breaks up with him in the manga, but I'd argue she counts as a "main character" along with Lum, Ataru and Mendou. There are even quite a few Shinobu-centric episodes, like the ones with the fox (some of my favorites in the whole series.)
No.82690
>>82689>Ataru?err yeah, huh, wonder where I got Atsuro from. I don't mean she wasn't a prominent character, just not the focus like Lum
No.82707
>>826024 course is nice. I don't know how beloved Urusei Yatsura is with the newest generations in Japan, but that's a pretty big decision.
I don't know if I'm happy or not, but it can't hurt to watch it.
No.82716
>>82707I am extremely happy, especially if it's popular. We NEED more Ataru characters in our harems.

No.84076
Also the manga got a digital release. Its floating on nyaa.
>>84075Oh and the flying baby was hateable too. I actually grew to like most of the cast precisely because of how unlikeable they are but the baby was such a bitch to ataru

>>90553animation for it looks really nice
No.90596
>>90553Really loving the hair shading, though the the limited animation has me a bit worried. Hopefully it's just a preview thing and they do more than rotate stuff around
No.90695
>>90596I wouldn't really call what they showed "limited animation", in fact with the effort they put into editing those frames into character slides I'd say they went above and beyond the usual PV expectations. It's just a bit on the short side is all.
No.90703
>>90695Maybe it's just me then. It's too short to draw conclusions from, but lots of zooming and panning and then at the end Lum was just rotating around like a wheel.
Just trying to tamper my expectations, the original was so good and I don't want to expect anything near that level because it's setting myself up for disappointment.
No.90735
>>90703It may be too early to say, but that kinda looks like a still image, for the cover, with maybe layers for Lum, Ataru, and the background. Because those lines don't really line up with the rest of the animation.

>>96812I liked the original enough, but I am
not excited for the modern anime audience to discover this
No.96826
>>96817It probably won't be as popular as you're expecting it to be. It'll pique the interest of the oldsters, but it still has to compete with all the new stuff and the upcoming season looks quite strong.
No.98137
>>98136I'm a sucker for colors and shading so I like that webm quite a lot. It's animated well, too.
As for old Lum, her look varied quite a bit based on her mood which I found pretty nice. Angry/brooding Lum in particular could pass as a different character. I haven't watched the new one yet, but I hope it gets her wide variety of facial variations right.
No.98142
>>98141That's probably the case. It's a really sexual outfit depending on the artist/character, but I never really got that aroused whenever I watched the original TV series either.

They really did an amazing job with Lum. She's so cute, so alluring, and her personality and reactions really shine in every episode. The colors are so vibrant and the animation is great. I didn't want to hype myself up for this last year, but now that it's here I'm very anxious about seeing all the episodes and of course each girl (particularly Oyoki but also Ran).
Exciting!

I am, I just don't have much to say about it. It's good and the hair is pretty but there's not much to say about comedies
Also, I've read some of the manga and the winner is revealed relatively quickly, so there's not much reason to ship
