Qoutas

New yr, new episode of Urusei Yatsura, new anime opening, new anime ending, and the introduction of a brand new character! This episode focuses primarily on Lum’s child cousin Ten who runs the entire gamut of being simply as lovable as he’s a menace to Ataru. It is all the time good to see extra members from Lum’s previous to color a greater image of who she was with others earlier than she got here to Earth. We did not get a lot of that on this episode exterior of her attempting to benefit from a state of affairs the place Ran almost had her identification outed, however the episode greater than makes up for that with tense humor. The primary half of this episode was slightly bit one observe because it boils right down to Ten filling Lum’s traditional position of attacking Ataru each time he steps out of line. It makes me surprise if the collection will explicitly dial again Lum’s electrical punishments and have Ten try this as a substitute, particularly because it looks like he is now staying at Ataru’s home.

The second half is way stronger as not solely was the gimmick of an harmless little one utterly not understanding perverse recommendation hilarious, however it additionally saved placing the characters in distinctive conditions. I empathize with Sakura as she was attempting to be a very good grownup and never harm a baby’s emotions, solely to have that endurance consistently examined in such an unrealistic state of affairs. I additionally just like the refined element that Ataru and Lum have been occurring a date within the background whereas watching Sakura and Ten, however nobody paid any consideration to that. Palms down, the funniest factor I’ve watched this yr to date was Sakura working away with Ten below her shoulder as he was shouting that he needed to go to a swingers membership. Surprisingly, Sakura did not get arrested or approached by any authority figures. Total, a contemporary episode to begin the brand new yr, and I stay up for seeing what different methods Ten can be used within the present shifting ahead.
