This time, the synopsis and scene previews of episode 22, first airing March 16 (Thurs), have been released.
[Episode 22: “Big Jar, Little Jar” / “When Love Strikes”]
●Big Jar, Little Jar
The scarecrow from the forest of the fourth dimension gives Ten a small jar in exchange for a piece of candy. Ten can’t read the label on the jar, and without understanding its power he unleashes it on Lum, causing her to shrink. Lum lies to Ataru about her condition—telling him that she’s come down with a shrinking illness—in order to get him to treat her kindly.
●When Love Strikes
On her way home from school, Shinobu rescues a fox being cornered by a dog. She leaves the fox with the police but he soon escapes, and upon finding Shinobu again the fox mistakenly believes that Shinobu and Ataru are in love. At school the next day Shinobu meets the fox again, but this time he has shapeshifted into Ataru…
[Anime Overview]
TV Anime Urusei Yatsura
[Introduction]
“I just really love my darling.”
Ataru Moroboshi is the most awful high school student on Earth, and Lum is a beautiful Oni girl who came from outer space.
Everything started when these two met…!
Rumiko Takahashi’s first serialized story is the brilliant series Urusei Yatsura, and she is still active on the forefront of her industry. In celebration of Shogakukan’s 100th anniversary, selected segments of the original story are being made into a new anime divided into 4 parts! (Season 1 began airing in October 2022, and will consist of parts 1 and 2)
Directed by Hideya Takahashi and Yasuhiro Kimura (who worked on JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind), series composition by Yuko Kakihara (who worked on Cells at Work), character design by Naoyuki Asano (who worked on Mr. Osomatsu and Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!) and animation production by david production (a company that has handled the production of the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series and Fire Force).
Additionally, the “darling” main character Ataru Moroboshi is played by Hiroshi Kamiya, and the heroine Lum is played by Sumire Uesaka. The two of them together make a matchless couple.
This is a story that is bold, charged with love, and yet somewhat sad… a boy-meets-girl romantic comedy centered around Ataru and Lum and filled with characters from all over the galaxy.
It’s hard to say “I love you” while looking you in the eye.
This is a story of youth, filled with gorgeous, tough and crazy “Yatsura”!
