Hi! Has anyone here watched both the original Urusei Yatsura from 1981 and the remake from 2022? How do the two compare? I’m curious to hear about impressions and opinions.

I have been re-listening to the soundtrack of the original series, and many scenes came suddenly to mind. It was absolutely hilarious; I could compare it with Konosuba, but with ten times more craziness…

    I watched the 1st season (remake) and a few episodes of the original.

    The new looks like a compressed version. Some newer eps have stuff that happens in two episodes in the original but keeping it as a single episode (not like 2 in 1 episodes).
    The artstyle is different
    The humor was updated but I’d say similar.

    It feels like how the total content compares between a manga and the anime adaption (meaning some stuff or stories were cut)

      Thank you! I didn’t know about that; so it isn’t a simple re-make. Good to hear the humour is similar :)

        IMO: Light hearted ecchi but also romcom.
        I’d say it’s enjoyable for the former viewers but it’s like watching the movie adaptation of a book you have read.
