Urusei Yatsura Season 2 Episode 3 Review and Recap
This anime can really show the most ridiculous and random things and still be able to make things funny for the audience. Urusei Yatsura Season 2 is back again with a very weird episode with an even weirder character. The new boy whom we see today is clearly inspired by Tarzan as he lives in a jungle and has wild animals for friends.
He is a pretty interesting one, as he uses human names to name these wild creatures and thinks the person inside his television is his grandfather. And, it was from this grandfather, that he got the inspiration to go out and look for his fated wife. After that, of course, he stumbles upon Lum, who first tries to electrocute him for bothering her, but as that does not work, she willingly leaves with him to make Ataru jealous. Lum’s power fails because the forest her suitor lives in is electrical, and hence, he is immune to it.
The entire episode is basically Lum trying to escape this very desperate man who wishes to make her his wife, and Ataru pretending to not care about whatever happens to Lum. As I’ve mentioned before, this story was very spontaneous, with things that are so absurd that they will make you laugh. From electrifying vegetables to animals attending weddings with a wedding invitation, we see it all in this episode. But it still manages to make you laugh with the sheer ridiculousness of the events.
Another thing that I am witnessing more in this season is how much Ataru has grown to accept Lum. Previously, he would not have cared about her much, but now, he shows apparent and frequent signs of interest in her. When he sees Lum and her new admirer together at the park, he is quick to blame her as a cheater, even though he does the same thing almost every second of his life.
He even goes to great lengths just so he can bring back Lum when he realizes that she is actually in problem. Ataru might not have acknowledged it, but he too, has fallen for her, but as he is a certified Tsundere, he will not accept it anytime soon.
Verdict
All in all, this was another entertaining episode that has its charms. If you are into this kind of comedy, you will appreciate the randomness and quirkiness of the series, but if you are not into it, then you might not like this type of humor.
