Tuned in to Rumic World!

I don't think about that and neither should you.

Hello! This might be premature and the site will be back up before Wednesday, but I wanted to see if any of the people who read my threads on /a/ would prefer I stick to my schedule and post the first volume of Rinne this Wednesday here or simply delay it until the site is back up. If the site goes back up, I'll probably redo it.

If you don't know what I am talking about, I dumped a few of Rumiko Takahashi's series on /a/ over the last year and a bit. Inuyasha was the most recent one.

I removed /lum/ a while back to try and consolidate the board. But maybe we can actually revive this place. This won't be a strictly UY board (since all rumic threads reference eachother), and OC is heavily encouraged! I'll be moving all the old posts here.

This series is pretty frustrating.

Resurrecting this thread, after finishing UY earlier I’ve now decided to check this one out. Like the previous series I’ve known about this one for a very long time, much more so seeing the previews for this at the end of the Pokémon tapes I used to watch, it’s surprising I haven’t seen this earlier as well. I went through the first season relatively quickly but now that I’ve reached the nettohen episodes I’m taking my sweet time

Rumiko's self-inserts for UY are initially Shinobu, then Ryunosuke and Lum. Yes, Lum.

Ryu is Rumioko outlet for her pent up lesbianism, confusion over her gender and sexuality. It's an outlet to do lesbian baiting fantasies with plausible deniability. Pairing Ryu and Shinobu just seems perfect.

nah she said Lum is completely different from her, it's the most unrelatable character there is for her.
I also think you are coping about her being a lesbian, plenty of yumejoshis draw sexy beautiful girls without being necessary attracted to them. It's just a fantasy.

It's not genius writing: if Lum becomes too nice the story lacks conflict now. So they introduce Kurama who is closer to what Lum was originally going to be, then Sakura and Ran.

This is why I headcanon Lum as being actually competent and a bitch like in the real early episodes, because the idea that she A) can cause trouble and B) can get out of trouble lines up with how she's portrayed at times.

The story and setting got re-written since they didn't have a plan and just responded to what worked and what fans seemed to like. The early premise seems to be Ataru and Shinobu (remember her?) being accosted by Urusei Yatsura on a weekly basis when they just want to get on with their lives and get married. Lum was just going to be a recurring harlot who is trying to break them up because she wrongly thinks that Ataru is engaged to her. Then the story was retooled to be about Lum and Ataru being together with Shinobu as the side character.

Then it was retooled AGAIN to focus mostly on Tomobiki high school - making it the prototypical high school anime. Characters like Sakura, Mendo, or Ryunosuuke have nothing to do with the original premise, but they end up taking a majority of screen time once they're introduced.

Rumiko's later works were more planned out with a more consistent premise because she and her team had more experience in what fans wanted. If they knew how the series would play out, UY would probably be a supernatural series with no aliens centered on the high school and town from the get go. Other than electricity and flying around, the fact Lum is an alien is irrelevant for 75% of later UY stories. Could have easily made her and the Oni come from subspace to begin with.

>Art style

Starts off as a very 70s looking series with very skinny females, and unrealistic proportions. Ataru is especially unrecognizeable in early chapters. Rumiko's art style evolves, with more realistic proportions and more curves for the women. Faces are quinticential 80s style.

>Focus


Starts as Shinobu and Ataru are accosted by "Urusei Yatsura" with some inspired by Japanese folklore. Then it's a Lum and Ataru will they or won't they story focused on Tomobiki high school. Introduction of Mendo and Onsen Mark becoming a regular character, and Sakura becoming the school nurse, mark the change. Lum spends less and less time wearing her tiger striped bikini.

Some volume 14 shots, about half way through when Rumiko has established her art style. Larger, thicker bodies, and more realistic proportions for women. Chapter pages seem to uh "accentuate" the feminine figure as well.

She was supposed to be a one-off villainess after all. Urusei Yatsura was supposed to be an episodic series where Ataru and Shinobu struggled with Ataru's curses for ghosts, aliens and his penchant for womanizing. Lum became such a fan favorite that Takahashi re-worked the whole series. This is like fundamental Urusei Yatsura knowledge.
