#DailyLum The BBC dub of Urusei Yatsura is often notorious among fans for being terrible (the clip below often sighted as reason) However not all is as it seems, it turns out were missing a lot of context and history Here is the history behind "Lum the Invader Girl" THREAD

#DailyLum one of the more interesting Showa era UY items in my collection is this padlock. Even comes with a key with Lum's face on it (only the one though). うる星やつら is even ll pressed into the metal on the bar 🤩 They also had Dr Slump, Popeye and Baikin-kun locks 🔒

I love the anime, but it's inferior to the manga (which is 100% Takahashi). The art and writing evolve over time...but "Boys like Lum. Men like Urusei Yatsura for what it really is. A comedy. "
Confession #937 - Once you watched UY 1981 you can literally never read the manga without getting bored.

I love the himbos of Rumic World 😂
I wonder if Akane ever sits at home worrying about Ryoga’s mental health. 😆 He so confidently introduced her to a completely nonexistent sister, and didn’t realize it was Ranma in disguise. The boy is NOT okay. 🤣🤣

The first instance i came across it was the 1989 Viz translation of the first issue of Urusei Yatsura (this once reads left to right). It was certainly popularised by Ranma though
something i like thinking about is how the ranma manga invented the word “glomp” which later become a staple in cons in like the 2000-2010s era

#DailyLum Happy 45th birthday to the Urusei Yatsura anime! 😆🎉 It debuted on Wednesday, 14th October 1981 at 7:30pm - this very minute in fact! (I'm currently in Japan), on Fuji TV.

Shampoo isn't my favourite, but she's good at keeping the lid down on instant food.
