Well I think that's probably the most concerned Ataru's been for Lum so far. Pretty cute ending, and I loved the other alien couples...really "dug" em. :P(dodges rocks) New ending too, and it was even an insert in the episode...nice. :D

Ten-chan can't keep a secret, he's such a kid LOL
Well, at least Ataru shows that he really does not want Lum with some other guy ("alien men to be exact LOL)

Interesting development, quite liked that last part actually!

A bit sad the ED song changed as I really liked the previous one, but well let's see what's next.

I thought I saw that too. I'm sure it's not what we think it is.

The show is starting to finding its footing. I thought this was a great episode. I especially liked seeing Ataru moving around with his knees up to his ears.

Also, judging from the preview, it looks like we're moving out of the "two shorts" format, which is nice.

Hey we got new title cards and a new ED, but not a new OP
Heh
Well, regardless, I like all the songs so far, I really like the new ED animation, Lum's dancing looks a lot better!!

This was really a standout episode!
Really funny too!

Most worried ataru has been for lum, he finally realises nobody else will love his dumbass.

But why was he acting like a grasshopper?

Still one of the better episodes.

He said in the episode that it was because he was hunched over in Ten's spaceship for so long.

Lmfao, I thought I was gonna be the only one to comment about it.

I thought it was pretty hilarious because there was no context to it whatsoever. To this day, I don't know if anyone will know what the producers' intentions were.

UPDATE:

Apparently, this is a comedic trope for the character, and "Megane" (his name is) has an obsession with Nazi paraphenilia. (https://uruseiyatsura.fandom.com/wiki/Megane) .......... Nazi references are apparently frequent in the "Beautiful Dreamer" UY movie as well. If you were curious.

DAAAAAAAAAAMN. A FULL non-segmented episode! And according to the Episode Guide on the Wiki there are no more titles with slashes ( / )! Does this mean that the episodes will be more drawn out? And less chaotic?

Additionally, Ataru actually wasn’t a complete asshat this time! I’m not asking for character development but they really dialed Ataru’s character back a bit, which is what I was advocating for.

I typically find this show’s gags to be unfunny, but quite a few landed:

And this episode even had a musical number lol. Interesting.

Update: It turns out the musical number from this episode is actually just the ending theme for this batch of episodes. I actually looked on the Wiki and my suspicions about the one-segmented episodes were confirmed.

Fun fact about some content in this episode:

If you were watching the subbed version, you might’ve noticed that the dad said, “… an announcement for all you creatures and BEM’s”.

If you don’t know what a BEM is, it’s a:

Oh wow, there's a... development with Ataru? Lol guy's still a bastard, but he's starting to ooze the tsundere personality that Ranma has. I guess this is the turning point that the fans say? Anyway, it's nice to see Lum happy <3

Now I'm just wondering why they made a Nazi-obsessed character in the show lol they seem to make gags out of nasty historical references a lot (like the mushroom smoke in the earlier episodes).

My thoughts as I watch:

- ugh ten is so freaking cute.
- Ten is me trying to keep a secret but still gossiping to everyone about it
- I like how all these ugly ass aliens are considered bachelors lmaooo. Like Lum would marry an actual slug.
- Lum’s dress and hair - gorgeous
- at least a lot of the suitors we see are more...humanoid
- Yuni looks like Ataru but with blue hair lol
- Diana and Yuni are adorable I need to see more of them
- Ten thinking his disguise would fool anyone...lmao
- not shocked that Lum didn’t know what was going on
- Lum recognizing Ataru! I really love how this episode shows Ataru caring for Lum.

Lum's dancing in the new ED is adorable as hell. Just as in the first one. Koji Nanke for the win!

After seeing all the aliens it's no surprise that Lum sticks to Ataru xDD

Episodes like this are needed from time to time.

Ataru worried about Lum's wedding party thinking that this would change him I love it xDDD
it was something cute

But coming back to reality, he will continue flirting with more girls, well, I'd like to see when he's already decided on her.

So great as a longer format episode. The pacing is so much better. I guess the first 21 episodes were the original run and then it gained popularity. Great voices, I love, Ten'sand Shinobu's, Lum has such a sweet innocence about her too...well, until she gets angry. The whole production seemed to ramp up in quality this episode and there's a new ending song. I love the care that's put into the opening and ending songs in animes, so many great and interesting tracks

The best looking and most visually consistent episode up to this point. New ED song is great too.
