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…

    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.
