New UY Series??!! True Or False??
« on: November 29, 2010, 08:23:12 AM »
Hey everyone. I have a question. I recently was told by my sister that a friend of hers went to a convention or heard on otakumagazine..(not sure which one) but that there were rumors that Urusei Yatsura was being re released by a company that was given rights by Rumiko Takahashi to re make the series in a more modern version for the U.S. and Japan in 2013. Apparently a guy started a petition in Japan that had enough signatures  to get noticed and so they plan to do this dub/ re release of UY in 2013. I have not seen nor heard of this and it seems like a rumor to me. I assumed that the OVA "Obstacle Course Swim Meet" was the final thing to be released for this show since it to me is a masterpiece as it is.  I thought i would ask you..my fellow lum experts because im sure if there was new news regarding this show that you guys would be the first to know. If there is something that you guys find please share and please share your thoughts on this. You guys think if its true is it a good idea? Would the series be accepted as well as the old one?? Just thoughts opinions..I would love to hear them.

 ;) :???

well... the Dr. Slum anime got a remake or two, I think, and it was a large series, so I can see why it might happen.

I'd watch it, thought chances that the same voices actors will get used, I'm not so sure...

I really hope they are planning a remake of Urusei Yatsura, I can't find it anywhere on google or anime news network so its unlikely. Also Otaku magazine made their last issue in Febuary 2009.

The thing is, remakes are only to improve the anime. Guess what? You can't improve UY. Why? Because the only way they could improve it is to remove Kitsune and turn Jariten less annoying but guess what? It wouldn't be UY that RT has created. It would be something else. Even if it was, it's very unlikely to change characters or even remove them.

And it's like: why would I watch a remake when I have the original? Same story. O.o

Heck, even when I want to watch an Anime, if there's a remake, I'll ALWAYS watch the original, even if it's worse.

I love the old animation. If they would a remake, then only, if the story is following more the original manga story and stories, there are not included in the old anime. I heard, there a many differences between the manga and the anime.

The problem in dubbing for other countries is, there are not really good voices for Urusei Yatsura. Urusei Yatsura has 3 different US Dubs, an AnimEigo Dub for Movie 1,3-5 , a CPM Dub for Movie 2 and a different AnimEigo Dub for the first two TV Episodes, that was only released on VHS. Other English Dubs: Lum the Invader girl UK Dub and the Animax Asia Dub.

an example: CLIP: Those Obnoxious Aliens! (Urusei Yatsura) English Dub

Lums ~datcha is in the US Dub ~icha, but Fumi Hirano's ~datcha is really cuter than this.

Yeah...i would prefer the real voices then the dub...this dub is alright but not that great. If i was to just for the first time sit and watch...it would be the japanese version. I would totally watch a new series but i would want Viz or Funimation to do the dub if anything...But anyway...if not the original will always be the best to me regardless.

I really believe that the only weakness of UruseiYatsura is the animation. My personal wish-list includes 'have Kyoto Animation re-animate the UruseiYatsura TV series".

 It's like Sailor Moon. People want that anime back its been gone for so long, but a remake of UY doesn't sound necessary.

I would like this new UY series to make some cultural updates but keep the same flavor as the original

2013 still seems quite far away if we consider how fast series can be done nowadays

Some things that I would like to see from the remake are stories that were cut out from the manga or had bits cut out of them should be left in, one example was when Kurama tried to reform Ataru it was so much better in the manga but was cut out from anime making the anime counterpart good but nowhere near as good as the manga version.

 They could cut out Kintaro, he was a bad character that kept reoccurring, they could also cut out that scarecrow that seemed to belong to a children's anime.

Has anyone been able to confirm that they are making a remake of Urusei Yatsura?

What you remake UY? To reanimate the series or redo the whole thing which they have to bring old cast back. But if they reanimate the series and using audio clips of old one to save time. The worse case is replace old cast who made the famous show with younger cast is a bad idea. I hope of this rumor is true, if not it was a nice idea.

Totally agree with you. UY doesn't need to be remade lol.
