UY 1981 Music Thread Tomobikanon 5/8/24 (Wed) 03:12:51 No.614 [Reply]

This is a thread dedicated to the songs used in the original Urusei Yatsura anime.

The full UY OST is vast and can be listened to on the Internet Archive https://archive.org/details/urusei-yatsura-ost or seeded at https://nyaa.si/view/868533 .

The series is known for it's distinct soundtrack, full of a variety of genres reflective of the diverse Japanese popular music that later came to be known as "city pop", though not all of the tracks necessarily belong to that. Many of the most recognizable tracks from early in the series can be attributed to Shinsuke Kazato and Fumitaka Anzai. Anzai in particular is responsible for the synthesizer laden tracks that define the series, while Kazato's work tended to be more orchestral. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo_7emKXlHE .

Urusei Yatsura also used outside soundtracks, notably the Beatles inspired Digital Mystery Tour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gJMlXCGcBw and Masayoshi Takanaka's Finger Dancin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQhSfnx8dfg .
There is also heavy Latin influence in some of the show's most famous themes, like Lum's Love Song and Love Mobius. Later in the series, artists like Steffanie and Cindy brought new influences into the series, such as hard rock.
There's even a series of official UY remixes, including Digital Trip Urusei Yatsura https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mBsiVwUQPaU5LyZfKBwMPfkojCwXbg0Is and Urusei Yatsura Remix (1991) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLha3ysj0EbYFO6uZeDNdUZThqnC-TMcXb

Urusei Yatsura for the most part has pretty good music but when the anime goes off the rails, that's when the music goes from being "yeah, it's pretty good" to "wait, //this// is in an episodic romcom??"

Is Lum a loli??? Tomobikanon 4/25/24 (Thu) 20:47:34 No.583 [Reply]

So I'm sure we're all familiar with that episode of uy where the school gets a new hard ass teacher who instantly starts crushing on lum (can't remember episode number). anyway, sensei gets called a lolicon for being into lum-chan. but lum isn't what we'd think of a loli. she's married, full sized, and has big tits even if she's the same age as ataru which is still kinda old for a loli. So I went and looked around at the loli hentai that was being made in the mid 80s and so far its what you'd expect. but its not like i'm the lolimaster or something and know what i'm talking about... r-right fed-chan? so did the word's meaning change? did the whole flat chested bratty midget thing come later? afaik lolicon means like "pedophile" in modern Japanese. gotta be a loli history guide somewhere. Anyway I'm high as fuck and probably reading too much into things. Gonna go take a nap.

>lolicon in Japanese is used in a similar way to "pedophile" in English, though it has a somewhat different connotation to it.
Huh, I thought lolicon and pedophile weren't the same. At least that's how its used on the English side of the net.

>>586
>Would that even make sense to an alien Oni like Lum?
Interesting question.. I wonder what alien sexual mores are like? Knowing the Oni its probably something quite silly.

>does an underage girl only become a loli when she becomes the center of an older man's lolita complex?
IRL I'd lean to this but obviously not with 2D content where there's an obvious aesthetic archetype. So Lum is both a loli and not a loli. She's a loli because an older man wants to sleep with her in the world of series but also not a loli by our general aesthetic standard of what counts as loli. Schrodinger's loli.

Ran is the type of individual that would actually go gonzo. If you know what I mean. That lady would be terrifying on an ether binge. Fear and loathing wouldn't cut it for Ran. ...Now that I think about, Ran is a very colorful individual. Maybe I was wrong.

We must turn around this Thread and fully dedicate it Ran.

Yeah, idk what /r/uruseiyatsura did with that, my personal watch guide is "watch the original series in order, if you like it, keep watching it". Or watch the reboot, honestly, it's valid too.

Also, huge love to the anon running the storytimes. I mean, I don't read them, obviously, but I respect the effort.

Imagine watching Urusei Yatsura in order. It's TV slop, there is NO order.

As for OC, is there any fan comix? I'm pretty sure in the last 40 years someone should've created a cool fan comic. Know any titles? No pornography, it doesn't count.

UY absolutely has an order, it's just very loose with it; the only thing that matters is when major characters get introduced

Tomobikanon 2/9/24 (Fri) 02:18:58 No.19

>>18
The order mostly consists of introducing characters, changing art styles, writing methods, and/or linking old episode happenings every once in a while. UY resets itself every time an episodes ends, so order really does not matter and it's almost non-existent. Characters barely change unless someone on the writing team decides it's needed for a specifically planned emotional episode, that's when characters sometimes get their personally completely changed (for example just look at how Ataru acts in Episode 25: Fly, Imo-Chan!, completely different from how he usually acts in other episodes, it's almost out of character).

The only order you'll honestly see is quality, which Urusei Yatsura notoriously zig zags from absolute shitty unwatchable garbage to amazing masterpieces.
