That episode is one of the few I saw of the original version, and that's what they did back then. It's funny seeing it with no green baby hogging the screen.

of course Lum's mom rules!

plus, it was touching to see an episode where Ataru learns (at least for half an episode) to appreciate the bikini babe who literally fell out of the sky and was immediately obsessed with him, despite being a completely unremarkable and clueless buffoon.

I love the touches that they keep throwing in, visual and written. Rei's transformations are wonderfully animated, and they nailed Mendo as a comedy act that doesn't rely on overt gags so much as perpetual, idiosyncratic egotism-centered behavior.

Not gonna lie, the fun in watching this show's got me craving a Ranma 1/2 revival in the same style and "best of" format.

Don't make my heart weep for what it could be! I hadn't even considered this possibility before.

Ranma was never finished in anime form after all and there are some decent arcs after the point where the original one stopped. So yeah, I’d be down for something like that as well

If Takahashi's okay with it, then it'd be perfect for David Productions next large project.

Dave Pro was the best possible studio for this remake.

i loved the gag in ep 11 where lum is trying to jump to see over a crowd of people until she remembers she can fly

also the piano/xylophone/whatever cover of Lum no Love Song was cute

This ep was bonkers but in a fun way, animation felt especially creative. The Rei one from awhile back as also aces.

Ah man, tho, guess this is goodbye to the Tenless era, brief but sweet.

it's well-animated, but Ataru's tinder matches all turning to lum was such a great joke, and the OP1 theme song had just the right tone of Maniac Bullshit

So to be honest I’ve never actually read the UY manga. How much has the current series been jumping around in it and is there anything particularly important/worthwhile in the skipped chapters?

There's not as much of an overarching story that it's really skipping over. The biggest thing I noticed was it fast-forwarded the Ataru-Lum relationship quite a bit. In the manga it takes him a while to warm up to her. I think for a bit Takahashi intended Shinobu to be the main love interest, then decided to make it Lum.
