Urusei Yatsura Season 2 Reveals New Opening and Ending
Last week, Asuka’s date with Mendo turned into one of mayhem and motherly discipline. Lum made sure to keep a close eye on Ataru going forward as the new fill-in for Mendo. Unfortunately, it seems like Asuka may never change her ways. Luckily we’re on to new material in this week’s episode!
In the A-part of the episode, the group heads to a private island that Ryunosuke’s father bought. But a ghost appears claiming to be someone very important to Ryunosuke’s father. In the B-part, we get a Ten-filled adventure as he encounters a fairy from a puddle that can fulfill any wish of his — he just has to find something first!
Series Director Takahiro Kamei reprised his position for the second season as well as Yuuko Kakihara (series composition), Naoyuki Asano (character designer), Masanobu Nomura (art director), Masaru Yokoyama (music), and Yuuichirou Nagata (director of photography). Hideya Takahashi and Yasuhiro Kimura are both working as directors.
Urusei Yatsura Season 2 is part of the reboot of the original series with the same name that aired 195 episodes between 1981 and 1986, which was animated by Studio Pierrot for the first 106 episodes and then handed off to studio DEEN for the rest. The rom-com, sci-fi anime is based on the manga created by Rumiko Takahashi, which was serialized for nine years between 1978-1987 and currently has over 35 million copies in circulation.
VIZ Media originally picked up the English license for the series in the 1990s but stopped printing after volume 8. The publishing company picked it back up and released all volumes for the series in omnibus format between 2019-2023.
HIDIVE is streaming the anime and describes the story:
Chosen as humanity’s representative in a duel against invading aliens, the womanizing Ataru faces off against the alien princess Lum — and the conflict follows him home when Lum invades both planet Earth AND the reluctant Ataru’s love life!
Urusei Yatsura Season 2 episode 16 will be released on May 2, 2024.
