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.

Now I’m 146 episodes in and already finished the first movie, getting really close to the second one and ova series then it’s the specials and I’m all finished. Might as well check the manga afterwards even though I’m aware nothing really happens in the greater scale of things than new characters. Also is it me or has this board slowed down a lot?

>I honestly don’t blame her since akane is more flesh out than shinobu

Not at all, imagine preferring Akane to Shinobu.
Shinobu is funny, actually has a decent reason to be upset, and is not costantly blaming Ataru even if Ataru is a gooner, and she also gets more dynamic with the other female characters unlike Kane.
Mogs her easily

Tomobikanon 6/9/25 (Mon) 13:36:34 No.2207

>>2206
Totally agree, I never did say that she wasn’t better, it’s probably because akane has main character status that I initially thought this was but yeah shinobu is more funny. Also for my honest thoughts now that I’m almost done, I like it and I think the characters are memorable (this anime was a pop cultural touchstone during the anime boom period back in the 90s after all) and megumi’s performance as ranma-chan is a highlight, however I’ve personally enjoyed UY more and I was expecting this anyway

Tomobikanon 6/12/25 (Thu) 13:05:30 No.2209

Finished the television series, I enjoyed this but IMO I liked UY more, still regardless i liked how the cast was handled here being a bit more self contained so the various reoccurring side characters could show up more. Also I’ll now find those “I’ve finally found /a/“ posts much funnier in retrospect. Onto the ova series next

Finished the OVA’s incense rumic world special, and the hilarious hot song contest. That’s two rumic series finished as a whole. Also took a look at the last chapters btw, I know it’s not what people expected but it is fitting overall, plus it’s a foregone conclusion they get together anyway. Between this and UY, I’m surprised I hadn’t watched or read either until recently, seriously anyone new to both CHECK THEM OUT! YOU. WILL. LOVE. THEM!

Evolution of Urusei Yatsura: Tomobikanon 5/14/25 (Wed) 21:41:29 No.2133 [Reply]

>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.

Tomobikanon 5/15/25 (Thu) 02:40:01 No.2147

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.

/lum/ culture Tomobikanon 2/5/25 (Wed) 04:11:25 No.805 [Reply]

We are the last bastions of classical /lum/ culture, such as the emperors in Constantinople were after the west was overrun by barbarians (Ran spammer & nippleschizo). We owe it to our illustrious ancestors to create OC and spread /lum/ culture far and wide so that we may be able to recapture the magic of 2020!

A LOT of manga chapters never got adapted, as the anime ended about 2/3 of the way through the show, so there was only a trickle of important stories that got adapted into OVA or films. A lot of hte anime adaptions are also wildly different from the manga counterparts that they might as well be original episodes.

But on the other hand: a lot of things get expanded upon. This is like a panel in the original and skating becomes one of Lum's "things" in the anime run but gets dropped once Studio Deen takes over.

Her hobby is jogging in the manga pretty consistently. This is Heian era Lum, but we see Lum jogging fairly frequently in random chapters.

Yes, jogging becomes her "thing" in the Studio Deen era too. Most famously shown in the Lum the Forever opening credits.

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.
