Urusei Yatsura (Season 1)

Urusei Yatsura (うる星やつら, 2022) is a Japanese anime series by David Production and Aniplex you can watch online on iFILM. The show revives Rumiko Takahashi's manga, which ran in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday from 1978 and laid the groundwork for decades of romantic comedy anime.

Aliens known as Oni give Earth one chance to avoid conquest: a randomly selected human must tag their princess Lum by the horns within ten days. The computer picks Ataru Moroboshi — high school's most lecherous underachiever. Hiroshi Kamiya voices Ataru and Sumire Uesaka voices Lum; Maaya Uchida plays childhood sweetheart Shinobu and Mamoru Miyano plays the wealthy rival Mendo. The result is four-way romantic chaos where nobody gets what they want but everyone keeps trying.

The series ran for 46 episodes of 23 minutes each on Fuji TV before wrapping its single season. Takahashi's original manga spanned over 370 chapters — this remake compresses and modernizes the classic with updated animation. Stream all episodes of Urusei Yatsura (2022) online on iFILM.
