I'm going to counter this BD love by saying that no you shouldn't watch if if you are interested in Urusei Yatsura because it's terrible at being a UY story. And Oshii is a sexist prick with blatant contempt towards the woman that enabled him to have a carrer.

Wasn’t Lum’s personality toned down a fair bit in the original anime as well?

Scary in the 70s 80s is tame nowadays the same way 90s simpsons was considered transgressive.

So appearntly with the new episode Mendo was not around during the original story. Someone who did a review noted in the original anime where they redid certain plots with newer characters introduced, they made sure to do this one before Mendo came around because Mendo would have been the Princess's type.

Yea the original anime did a ton of that. Like for instance Ten is introduced in the second episode whereas in the manga he doesn't show up until about 7 volumes in. Makes the dynamic between him and Ataru come across differently between versions since you see so much more of him early on in the anime.

Princess "I am literally only interested in looks and somehow you are still managing to gently caress this up" Kurama was honestly the perfect choice to follow up and solidify Mendo's character with.

also no one batting an eye when Lum shows up with a loving gun

All Kurama wants is to get laid with a hot guy and honestly that's inspirational. Good luck.

The animation seemed a bit jank in ep 5 compared to the previous four, but I suppose they can't all be spotless.

All in all, a perfectly serviceable "breather" episode to space out the character intros. The quieter bits of the second part were nice, departing from the gag-a-minute pacing.

The thing that made me hoot and hollar about the OP the most was that Ten didnt show up at all

I've been peppering in some eps of the original lately, will be fun to compare with the new one. And been meaning to see the 80s movies forever.

Also been meaning to re-read / finish reading Ranma forever too. Takahashi rules. Maison Ikkoku is one of my fav anime.

In my experience, characters in a Takahashi comedy are either incurably selfish, incurably stupid, or both.

But then, I'm the guy who keeps saying Ranma 1/2 is in the same comedic lineage as A Midsummer Night's Dream, so don't listen to me.

Rinne seems to break that by having the one character be the king of all selfish stupid pricks and everyone else being contextually daft.

Rey looks like a real jerk (by Rumiko standards) and I'm not surprised Lum "ran" away from him at speed.

He’s not a jerk, but he is so stupid he can only think about 1 thing at a time and only really has 2 interests food and Lum. And Food takes priority over Lum.

Rei was actually introduced pretty early before Mendo was. Rumiko made Mendo cause she felt a rival character that actually has a personality would be more entertaining.
