Since I have the Bandai Anime Legends DVD release I'm gonna be doing a disc change between episodes.

Does anyone get the feeling Rumiko Takahashi would be good at erotic horror?
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode179 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Also need to point out the manga again because Takahashi’s art…evokes…things…
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode179 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Yup, as far as design goes...Mendo's Dad is proto-Soun Tendo!
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode179 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Also the fall atmosphere REALLY lends well to this episode (considering we're in September)!
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode179 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Yes, I am drinking during this episode. So this is fitting.

Um...Sakura does not seem to have the best luck with snakes!
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode179 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

I would be VERY scared if you put Sakura, Luffy, Goku and Toriko at the same dinner table!

See the anime gets more points for being more atmospheric and actually giving some connective tissue to Sakura's past as the manga just gets more to the point on her inhaling the Sake Spirit!
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode179 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Soooo…here’s the manga chapter cover for what corresponds with this episode!
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode179 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Yeah, Ataru is a BRAT but he ain't letting NO man get near Lum's lips!
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode178 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

EVERYBODY is trolling the HELL out of Ataru this episode.
Good.
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode178 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

I will give Cherry this over Happosai. He fully knows how to troll both the characters and the audience!
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode178 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Also guys remember Megane is voiced by Chiba Shigeru, who also voiced Buggy the Clown who was also dubbed by Mike McFarland in English. Yup, found a way to connect this to a dub legend! RIP!
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode178 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Ummmm...somebody check on Megane. He's about to have a mental episode.
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode178 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Ataru this is 100% on you and Lum knows it!
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode178 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

We didn't learn from the time Rei visited, did we Mendou?
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode178 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

That moment of silence spoke VOLUMES!
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode178 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Y'know...even though Masami Abe is listed as the animation director I think Atsuko Nakajima (who hasn't made their AD debut yet) might of key animated certain shots because parts of this look like her style.
