Ataru's Mom may not get as much screen time as she did in the Oshii era but I love how she takes whatever she is given and RUNS with it!

So yeah...BOTH chapters that were the basis for this episode were so early in the manga's run that Viz published them before the manga went on that looooooooooong hiatus before our modern release.

Sometimes it's VERY clear this is proto-Ranma and proto-Akane right down to sharing the same braincell and if folks didn't ship Ryuu with Benten then Shinobu was the "other" option!

What's even funnier is the 2008 30th Anniversary OVA adapted parts of this volume too, so they were STILL making new animation from this volume!
(I know I haven't talked about tonight's episode but it's Ten so I DO NOT CARE!)

BTW, @digiranma.bsky.social if you happen upon any bookstore that happens to carry Urusei Yatsura Vol. 14 when you flip through it you'll probably go "Wow, they pretty much adapted the ENTIRE season from this volume!"
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode186 #AnimeRetroRewatch

It is funny how both the UY and Ranma reboots gave Ten and Happosai MUCH less screentime which is very telling on both the OG animes.

So while this is manga based we've reached the part of the series where they're adapting the "current" chapters more conservatively and either doing filler or adapting stuff from WAY earlier in the run!

"Good meeting you, Christopher."
Is it weird the 4Kids dub just UPS the Stranger Danger vibes?
#SonicX #SonicTheHedgehog #4KidsDub #Episode4 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

"We have to bring him back, right away!"
Is it just me or is the dub kinda upping Chris' attachment to Sonic already? I feel like it was more of a slow burn in the Japanese version.

It also doesn't help that Lisa voiced Lina Inverse and I like it when she voiced short tempered characters with a hair trigger for violence!
#SonicX #SonicTheHedgehog #4KidsDub #Episode3 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Also gonna reiterate this that Lisa Ortiz's Amy the Hedgehog is my DEFINITIVE voice for her as this is the one that was in my head for the Archie run from Sonic Adventure until the cancellation.

Also this dub was when the New York 4Kids cast had started voicing the characters that would carry over in the games starting with Shadow the Hedgehog in November of 2005 until Sonic Colors in 2010.
#SonicX #SonicTheHedgehog #4KidsDub #Episode3 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

One thing I have noticed is in the dub the 4Kids music kind of drowns out the voice acting. Seeing this wasn't an issue with Ultimate Muscle I can't help but wonder if SEGA kinda had a role in this.
#SonicX #SonicTheHedgehog #4KidsDub #Episode3 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Also yes, I did just watch the previous 2 episodes from last week so we are starting on Episode 3 proper!
#SonicX #SonicTheHedgehog #4KidsDub #Episode3 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Okay, we're doing #SonicX all over again only this time it's the 4Kids dub! This version I'm mainly gonna focus on commentary on the 4Kids actors and the script!

"It tastes strange."
"Aren't you becoming numb?"
Okay...the Medou family is becoming MORE like the Kunos.
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode185 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

I'm having flashbacks to the "Spring of Drowned Man" arc and the Ranma cast getting stuck in various traps in the Kuno Estate!
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode185 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

What I find interesting about ALL of Takahashi's early manga adaptations is the anime versions SHOW where they kinda glossed over subtle details in the main couples manga dynamics but STILL ultimately got to the point!
#UruseiYatsura #Episode184 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

You can TELL this was SUPPOSED to be after Ran was shortly introduced but the anime was running on fumes at this point and adapted it here!
#UruseiYatsura #LUM #ThoseObnoxiousAliens #Episode184 #AnimeRetroRewatch @digiranma.bsky.social

Yeah...Ataru deserved ALL of that! Also I wanna point out this is adopting the earlier manga chapters and contrasts with a leter episode is his whole "pickup" routine!
