personally i didn't like because it was more like a normal episode and i think it should have been more exciting.
i watched inukami and the ending was really cool and i though that UY should've had an ending like that
what do you guys (and girls ;D) think?
-
Well... I didn't like it that much. If it wasn't for the Ataru & Lum's kiss it would have been just another episode. I think they wanted the ending to be full of energy and comedy instead of that "sad" where all characters are just crying everywhere because they'll never see eachother again or whatever makes you cry after watching the last episode of your favourite series.
I even remember that I was already crying when I was arriving at my home. I only stopped crying when I heard "Lum No Love Song". I began crying again when Lum and Ataru kissed because even if it was the moment that every watcher was waiting for the whole series it reminded me that it was the DAMNED FINALE!
-
The last episode wasn't how UY ended. Movie 5 was the official ending (although that is obvious and I know what your going at) and if things go well, the new OVA might just take the "ending" spot, though I doubt it...
In any case, I picked yes.
-
Anyways, this topic is reffering to Episode 195 which was how the "original" Anime version ended.
-
Right, and the movie was part of said anime.
Anyways, I didn't find anything wrong with the episode. I mean... what exactly was wrong with it? They didn't get married? obviously that couldn't happen...
-
I wasn't expecting that they were getting married. xD
What I'm trying to say is that this episode should have been way more shocking and unforgettable than the others.
-
I think the kiss made it more unforgettable than the others...
But how? how could it have been more shocking/unforgettable?
-
I didn't like it much... It didn't have "the last episode feeling"... The same feeling when your eating M&M's* and then there's no more and you feel sad and wish you had more... LoL
*M&M's or any other thing that you like... XD
Anyway I voted for option 3... :P I would have... ;D
-
Oh, and how would YOU end it then Falling? :P
As for me, I haven't seen the last episode, but from what I've read/seen/heard, the only thing that made it memorable was the fact that Ataru was the one going for the kiss (after Lum insisting a bit). I guess that would make it memorable. :P
Still, since I haven't seen it, I rather not vote.
-
which end are we talking about? anime or manga?
if about manga i pick the first vote
if about anime i pick the fifth one
-

That's EXACTLY how I felt...

Well if you look at the question, it says "Did you like the way UY ended? (last episode)"
How was the last episode disappointing? I don't understand that...
-
i think that the last episodes should've been connected (like when lum lost her memory and there was 2 episodes to that story) ending with them getting married or at least confessing their love for each other in some funny and crazy way :P
i voted for the fifth option because after seeing other anime endings and taking to account the quality of UY, the ending should have been much better
-
I wouldn't have been satisfied with them getting married -_- to do that in one episode does not feel right.
-
If I could make episode 196 (the "real" UY ending" xD ) I would make Ataru confess his love for Lum when he thinks he's alone talking to himself loudly and suddenly Lum appears and hears what he said. The rest of the cast hears aswell and the boys react just like they did on episode 195. I wouldn't put them in costumes but in their casual clothing but with more glamour, too. While Ataru is trying to escape from everyone Lum just intercepts Ataru's route and Ataru can't escape but to "knock her out". Lum is of course pretending to be pass out. Everyone stops because Lum is not moving at all. Ataru starts to freak out while everyone accuses Ataru of killing Lum. Lum grabs Ataru by its neck (Ataru was with his both kness down on Lum's side) and kisses him. Lum runs away from Ataru, Ataru chases Lum and runs from the rest of the gang and the gang chases Ataru. Also in the very end every character says bye to the viewer.
-

i'm not saying that i would get them married i one episode, i'm saying that i would make a chain of events in 4 or 5 episodes ending with them married and maybe a little sample of their married life ;D
-
It's hard to picture that though... I think it wouldn't be easier to "see" it if they did some kind of time jump (like how several years pass in between an anime and its sequal series such as Dragonball - Dragonball Z - Dragonball GT).
Then the new UY series could be a little more about their kid(s) and their high school life ^_^
-
Now that you mention it... Dragonball GT Now that was a disapointing ending...
Anyway... The last UY episode would be a simple but memorable one and then culminating in 2 special OVA's... Or 3... If I wanted to leave it open for a new series...
-
I was considering "Boy meet Girl" a poor ending: really Lum would settle to that miserable "declaration of love" ?
When I saw "Forever my Darling" I got really angry: bad designs, rubbish history (just a bad mix of characters !!!), a "trashy" ending and so on.
The worst is that Rumiko still consider UY "a closed chapter of my life".
When I think that in Italy a comic like "Tex Willer" is still published since 1948 and doens't wanna end (I could say the same about Batman, Superman or Lupin III) I get really furious: WHY LUM DOENS'T DESERVE A FURTHER, UNEDIT CHAPTER ?!?
-
Gatulon you're so right! Btw, I edited your post due to using non-allowed words in this Forum. Remember, Forum rules are to be respected. =)

well said gatulon
there are many animes that have more than enough quality to reach 1000 episodes but they never do. and other things like batman and superman (like you said gatulon) who are rubbish continue to be made through decades. i would love if animes like uy, inukami, naruto and other good animes had more episodes. :(
-
Gatulon you're so right! Btw, I edited your post due to using non-allowed words in this Forum. Remember, Forum rules are to be respected. =)
you're right, forgive me.
I used the google translator and here you are the result ;-)
-
Appologies accepted. =)
1000 episodes is just too much. Maybe 300 (each Anime. Like Naruto - 300 episodes. Naruto Shippuuden - 300 episodes) and I would be happy.
-
Well... 300, 1000?! Why not over 9000?! ;D
#Invalid YouTube Link#
LoL that was stupid... XD
Anyway for me the right episode number per series should be 52... at least for the modern anime... or at least any good anime LoL
-
Can someone please tell me how the "It's over 9000!" scene became so funny?
-
I don't know... I was surfing Youtube when I read this post and going by it I thought why not 0ver 9000 LoL... and then I remembered this XD
Btw, why is Pedobear so famous? XD
-
I dunno who "Pedobear" is XD
not so famous after all, lol
-
I'm with UruseiNeo about the Pedobear or whatever it is. That "Over 9000" video is SO old! x)
52 episodes is just small ok? We need more!
-
52 Episodes is just a single season series. While that is pretty good for a series to watch on TV, I prefer something longer for watching on the internet.
-
LoL... Ok... Pedo-Bear es a fictional character that is supposed to represent Internet predators (child abusers and stuff) But whatever... ;D
#Invalid YouTube Link#
Now that's a attention grabber... XD
-
So the Pedo-Bear in One Piece... is Robin (the girl that did that to that guy) ?
-
Nah... not related Cata... LoL
That is what should be done to those guys...
-
Well yeah but Robin kinda abused him... I don't know what it feels like but I'm sure it hurts like hell.
-
Considering the format of UY, I don't see a problem with the ending. Urusei Yatsura, both the manga and the anime, followed more of a "Gag of the week" format than modern anime does. With modern anime, you have storylines that span over several episodes, some over entire seasons, and everything fits together. UY is more like the old school cartoons where, as long as you're familiar with the characters, each story is generally self-contained, where you don't have to watch a whole bunch of episodes just to understand what's going on.
However, I voted "I could do better". After all, if I didn't think I could do better, why would I be working on a reimagining of the entire series?
-
I feel sad that I'm the only one so far who voted "Yes, (I liked the ending)" T_T
It's just... I just find it kinda ironic that on a site dedicated to Urusei Yatsura, a majority of people didn't seem to like the ending, lol.
At least no one picked flat out "no" although... "really disappointing" is kinda worse...
-
Speaking of your UY stories, Sidzero, how are they coming along?
-
I'm about halfway done writing the first chapter. After taking a little break from writing on it a while back, I actually picked up again last night and got quite a bit done. As long as video games, school, or the other 3 books I'm in various stages of writing don't distract my attention too much, I should have the first chapter done before long. Maybe in the next night or three, even.
Then it just becomes a question of whether or not to post it, or wait until I get the first story arc (which equates to chapters 1 and 3 of the manga, or both parts of episode 1 of the anime, and is going to be 5 or 6 chapters in UYRemix) finished before I post it.
Actually, by the looks of things, I'll have the rough draft of chapter 1 done within the next hour or three. I think I'll probably post this rough to get some early comments and criticisms, and then wait until I finish the first arc before I post the rest of it in a finished state.
-
We'll be waiting for our masterpiece. Good luck with it.
-
I don't care if you consider as the "last episode" of UY "Boy Meets Girl" or "Forever my Darling": I DISAPPOINT BOTH THE FINALS !!!
That's why I begun to draw "A new beginning from the end".
I'm so mad, so crazy, so out of mind that one day I'll send it to "Shoen Sunday".
Who knows..... the men are great as their dreams !!
-
lol, cata!! Send your idea to Rumiko by mail and hope for the best. That¨s'a nice idea^^ Of course some easter eggs around would be welcome to, like some idiotic monk jokes from cherry etc.
-
Thank you ammo1991 but I'm afraid UY is (unfortunately) an ended chapter of Rumiko's life. It's sad how people throw brilliant stuff away. Also, of course Cherry's jokes, Sakura's inability to understand teens, Ryu's dream of wearing a dress, etc wouldn't be left out from "my" episode.
-
Episode 195 was not so bad,it had its enjoyable moments (the kiss between Lum and Ataru been the most memorable of those moments),but the problem was that,according to the manga,the producers used one of the early chapters for the material for this episode
Well,at least Movie 5 delivered the true ending to the saga
-
but the problem was that,according to the manga,the producers used one of the early chapters for the material for this episode
That's true, but the fact is, fans of the show who already read that chapter would have been caught completely off guard with that scene.
They would be watching the episode thinking "this is it? this is the last episode? what a rip off, this chapter wasn't so great, they could have used this chapter or that chapter" and then they eat their words with that one scene.
It's kinda like the SOS Brigade final episode (episode 13 if you count the first as episode 0). They dragged that thing on forever, it was so annoying. Yuki just sitting their reading a book... but the later ending scenes were decent enough to forgive that boring periods. That... or they tricked us, made us watch boring reading scenes to make the last scene look like a freaking masterpiece.
-
Aye,you are right,Neo,in the end that UY episode had more good things than flaws
It was good to see most of the UY characters by the end of episode 195 (we even got a cameo of Kyoko from Maison Ikkoku),a very nostalgic touch if we add that the producers used the first ending song for that scene
-
I still think that was the flower shop girl -_-'''
-
not bad but it needed more emotion.
and i just realized they didn't take several manga chapters into anime, shame, i wish someday they animate them.
sorry my bad english.
