Some more info on the upcoming Urusei Yatsura reboot:

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-12-31/new-urusei-yatsura-anime-teaser-unveils-cast-david-production-staff-1-year-length/.181156

Also as I mentioned in the last thread, according to the official Twitter account they're "animating select episodes from the manga” and the feed has the name UY_allstars. So it’s not so much a complete edition as it is a best hits version

A pity that Ataru will no longer be voiced by Piccolo though

Understandable, I don't think they'd do a series the length of a full adaptation in this era of mostly 1 or 2 cour stuff.

Out of curiosity, is there a particular reason why they’re reviving UY all of a sudden (like is this year a major anniversary for the series or something)?

Last year was the 40th anniversary of the original anime I guess.

Sakuga is not a series, it is a term that is typically used to refer to cuts of animation that are exceptional in some way or another.

I love that DBZ might be Shonen but its main characters are parents who might as well be in their mid 40s by anime standards. It's refreshing, even if it fucks over Gohan's chance to be the main protagonist.

The new movie coming out is focusing on Gohan and Piccolo, which is great

And as much as I liked the movie, I think animation could better behoove it.

They're not gonna get Chris Evans back as Lucas Lee, though, so it's ruined.

The timeline got me feeling nostalgic for waiting a year for a 12 episode series to come out on DVD in batches of 3 and watching the episodes you had over and over so the series feels longer than it actually is

Apparently the US Shonen Jump staff did not know what an NFT was and had to furiously Google it after receiving extremely confusing backlash to their announcement, which is very funny to me.

They're going to make the actual announcement later today, it was an announcement of an announcement. And I don't blame people for being a bit paranoid, especially because the tweet used similar language to a lot of NFT announcements.
