About Urusei Yatsura

Tomobiki town becomes a magnet for wild romance and reckless schemes when Lum, the Oni princess, takes a shine to a human high schooler named Ataru Moroboshi. Ataru is famed for chasing pretty girls and dodging responsibility, and Lum’s glowing temper and shock attacks only heighten the chaos. Their unlikely romance stirs up a parade of eccentric neighbors and rivals, from Shinobu the sweet neighbor to Sakura the shrine maiden, Lum’s friends Oyuki, Benten and Ran, the monk Cherry, the wealthy Mendo heir Shutaro, and the bold Ryunosuke. The show keeps the tone light with zany antics, clever wordplay, and colorful sci fi mayhem, all in one fast paced package.

Released in 2022, the series reimagines Rumiko Takahashi’s beloved manga with a vibrant new animation style and a voice cast anchored by Hiroshi Kamiya and Sumire Uesaka, bringing Lum and Ataru to a fresh audience.

Critics and fans have responded with a light to favorable mood, praising the show’s brisk pacing and its affectionate nods to Takahashi’s world. It blends romance, slapstick and sci fi chaos, while leaning into character quirks and bright, kinetic animation.

Even as a reboot, the series nods to the enduring charm of Lum and the Urusei Yatsura premise, keeping cosplay, memes and fan discussions active online. The show helps keep the franchise in the public eye across new generations.
