Latest Trailer for Urusei Yatsura Anime Introduces New Characters

Urusei Yatsura’s remake has been the talk of the town among rom-com lovers ever since it came out. Although fans were skeptical about this new version, it didn’t let us down and received a good response from everyone who loved the original.

The series was scheduled to have a half-year run with no break, which means a constant supply of new characters and theme songs during the episodes.

Keeping this in mind, the latest trailer for the new Urusei Yatsura anime introduces three new characters and previews theme songs.

MAISONdes will perform both the new opening and ending theme songs for the anime. The opening theme song is ‘Aiwanamchū’ featuring asmi and Surii, whereas details for the ending song will be revealed soon.

The trailer highlights the new characters Ten and Ryunosuke and our usual favorites, Ataru, Lum, and Mendo.

Ten is Lum’s baby cousin who has come to Earth and is considered a nuisance by Ataru and Mendo. His reason for coming to Earth is to see what kind of a person Lum’s fiance, Ataru, is, and he also decides that the latter isn’t suitable for his cousin.

Meanwhile, Ryunosuke is a transfer student at Tomobiki High and has a boy-like personality and behavior. The reason for this is her abusive father, who stated that the successor of the Hamachaya must be a boy and hence raised Ryunosuke as a boy.

Besides introducing these eccentric characters, the trailer also reveals their cast members:

After watching this classic in a new version, I can say that not all remakes are terrible.

Having said that, I can’t wait for more to come.
