Episodes 182-195 (TV End) + Movie 4 (Lum the Forever) today.
35 years since this anime aired, and I don't think Cred Forums has ever really celebrated it. For those who haven't seen it, it was a hugely influential anime, and that influence is still being felt by the anime industry today.
I'll be interested to see peoples reaction to Lum the Forever. I found it convoluted personally but was definitely unique none the less.
Nicholas King
Lacks the finesse and scope of Beautiful Dreamer, it's just pretentious crap.
The message is really stupid too. "s-stop watching the show guys!"

Sakura has a delicious voice
Michael Bell
I mean, the movie was coming out around the series ending. It's basically saying that things end and you shouldn't be afraid of change.
It's stupid how they cut the exposition scene with Mendo's grandfather, but outside of that I like the movie. It's really nice to see a movie that mostly uses the series cast and still manages to stand out, without wasting time giving focus to pointless movie-only characters.

I saw the first 2 movies but missed the 3rd; should I go watch that before the 4th comes on? I'm probably not missing anything right? I'll get around to it eventually of course
Cameron Turner
Nope, not missing anything aside from a cool OST.

What's wrong with Movie 6? Why isn't it going to be streamed?
Austin Young
Wasn't Ataru chosen to meet Lum in the first episode by a random number generator? What did Lum mean in this episode when she said they didn't meet by chance?
Why was Godzilla allowed in this show so much given Toho is so autistic about copyright?

If you just want fanwank, nobody said anything about Lum being randomly selected. They don't talk like she has a permanent role in the Oni military or duties as their tag champion she's neglecting, either, she was there because she wanted to be.

Why is the second movie so expensive? Even the VHS tape is like $15.
Gabriel Allen
Were the DVDs cropped?
The BDs were, so naturally there'd be demand for 4:3 ratio versions that aren't VHS.
Hudson Collins
Why would they be? So I guess that's the best release then? I wonder how it compares to the laserdisc (as if anyone here owns a laserdisc of beautiful dreamer)
I miss U.S. manga corps.
Justin Taylor
Discotek licensed it last month so I would hold off
Logan Brown
...
Joshua Thomas
Have they said anything about it being cropped like the japanese release?
Ethan Smith
wish discotek licensed some proper bd releases more often
Henry Bailey
The BDs were cropped so they could release the film in 16:9. It's fucking stupid though because you're missing the top and bottom of the film.
Juan Richardson
well then I understand why the DVD is so expensive. The fuck would I buy a the bluray version when I'm missing 40% of the screen?
Jason James
I don't suppose they have access to the original 32mm reels?
People forget Beautiful Dreamer was originally HD in the cinema, complete with a 16:9 aspect ratio, but cropped for TV release. It's just that the lazy distributors last year couldn't be bothered making a proper remaster, so they cropped the DVD.
Zachary Nguyen
So it was cropped down from 16:9, then from 4:3 it was RE-Cropped to 16:9?
So we have what, 30% of the entire screen on the bluray version?
Aiden Nguyen
doubt it and doubt they have the money for that
Adam Scott
Yeah, but it was fair game back then. Everyone had a TV like pic related so it would've been letterboxed.
Austin Ortiz
Damn, I guess this means I missed Inaba the Dreammaker...
That was the one thing I really wanted to see. My favorite story in UY.
Camden Hernandez
It really is sad the tv bds are so good and the movies won't ever get a proper release. This isn't the first series it's happened to either
Lincoln Torres
No you didn't, that's going to be part of the last stream.
I hope that isn't a cosplay. Will check that episode out.

No, it's not.
It's the episode that inspired Gintama though.

Please do more Maison Ikkoku. PLEASE.
Isaiah Campbell
>all 195 episodes are now done I can't believe it's over. I'm going to miss it.
Nolan Sanchez
Stop posting censored nudes.
Nicholas Lewis
But isn't Gintama a mix between UY, City Hunter and Bleach?
Jose Allen
That's one way of looking at it. Watch that episode though, it oozes Gintama in style.
Jacob Williams
...
Jack Stewart
Why?
Brayden Wright
There's the OVA and two movies left
Gabriel Wood
So what the fuck was with Lum the Forever?
Started off decently enough. Like Beautiful Dreamer, had a lot of weird and surreal scenes and raised a lot of questions to intrigue the audience.
Then the second half happened and it shat the bed. So much inane shit was happening for no real reason, tone was all over the place and hardly any of the questions raised at the start were answered properly. Just a mess of a movie.

Was the tv series 16mm or 35mm? What about the ovas?
Xavier Flores
Japan wasn't as autistic about it back then. Just look at how many video games from the 80s were rip-offs of American movies.
Joshua Phillips
They cut the scene where Ataru and Mendo meet Mendo's grandfather and there was supposed to be tons of exposition about the original legend and how it might relate to what was happening there.
It's pretty noticeable since there's a sudden cut when they go to meet him and afterwards Ataru and Mendou seemingly know what's going on but the viewer never gets a direct explanation about it.
Isaac Cooper
And by "they", I meant the director, not the streamer or something.
Aiden Ward
It was cut from all releases or from the BD? After finding a cut scene in Only You I'm really wary of these BDs.
Blake Cook
AFAIK, Beautiful Dreamer (and Only You) were in 4:3 because they used the same cels they had for the TV series.
Blake Young
What, how?
Parker Jenkins
The scene existed in Inoue's script of the movie, but the director just didn't include it in the movie. I don't think it was even animated.
Dylan Bennett
Because who wants censored nudes?
Brody Butler
One of my favorite episodes was the Miss Tomobiki elections one. It was insane.
What I don't get is why were the Sakura supporter groups labeled as "pedophiles". Was it because Ryuunosuke was getting all the attention from the freshman girls and they wanted to impose a mature sexy figure instead?
Robert Smith
Where is this list??
Hunter Gomez
Check the playlist it's in there.
Dylan Miller
In the stream? I just see a list of every episode.
Carson Hughes
The Ran supporters were the pedophiles.
Joshua Powell
Yes, it has a special title. It's like the penultimate episode or something like that. Can't check right now.
Gabriel Thompson
Ah you're right, Sakura supporters were the sons of politics and stuff. Guess it makes sense, although Ran is as old as Lum and Shinobu are.
Evan Diaz
Serious question: I want to watch Urusei Yatsura anime but it has lot of filler. What are the episodes of filler? What is the order?
Thanks
Elijah Garcia
Watch all of them faggot.
Jaxson Campbell
In UY's case, you want to watch the filler.
Brayden Jackson

Benjamin Peterson
Read the synopis on any episode on wiki
But I recommend you to watch all of them, since this is a episodic show.
Nathan Green
Ok thanks!!
