About Urusei Yatsura

Meet Urusei Yatsura (Urusei Yatsura (2022)), a comedy, sci-fi and shounen anime by David Production (2022). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: When aliens known as the Oni threaten to invade the Earth, they promise to leave under one condition—a randomly-chosen human must win a one-on-one game of tag against Lum, the beautiful daughter of the Oni leader. The "lucky" person selected happens to be the lustful and unlucky high schooler Ataru Moroboshi.

Next up: Given 10 days to attempt to grab Lum's horns, Ataru realizes how impossible the challenge is as he is faced with Lum's extraterrestrial abilities. Motivated by a promise of marriage from his childhood ally Shinobu Miyake, Ataru manages to catch Lum off guard. He mistakenly grabs hold of her bikini top first, but he before long achieves his true goal.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list.
