Urusei Yatsura returns to breathe new life into the “boy meets extraordinary girl” genre. This anime masterpiece combines elements of comedy, romance, and sci-fi, enriched with a generous dose of humorous gags.

Urusei Yatsura Season 2 Episode 10 Review and Recap – Mendo’s Octopus Problem
After having some normal episodes from this anime for the last few weeks, we obviously got a random episode with some bizarre stories this week. And, here, we witness the plight of Mendo who is getting haunted by a spirit. But it is not the ghost of a human, rather it is the spirit of an octopus from the treasured collection of octopuses of the Mendo family. Now, for some reason, its spirit is stuck on Mendo’s head, and until and unless one finds its actual body, the octopus will not go away. And Mendo will continue to have nightmares about the octopus.
But thankfully, Mendo is not alone in his misery, as his friends are very much anxious about his condition. They are so worried, that they sneakily sneak into Mendo’s bedroom even when he refuses to meet with them. Hilariously, Ataru, as well, comes to check on him, and the moment he arrives, they start bickering. But it’s not just them, even Sakura sensei and her uncle arrive, and this is all because Ten has been going around spouting about Mendo’s condition to every person he could find.
This episode was weirdly funny in the usual Urusei Yatsura fashion, and you laugh at the silliness of the characters. But I preferred the second story more because it was pleasantly wholesome, and we get to see a side of Ataru that we normally do not.
In this segment, Ataru gets an admirer, which is definitely a first for him. This time, he is not the one chasing down a girl, but rather, there is a girl who fell for him at first sight. But there is a story behind her circumstance, and we end the episode on a good note with her love story.
Today’s episode again showcases two different storylines that had very different vibes. The first one was random and contained many comedy moments. The second one also had its fair share of funny bits, but at the same time, it was sad and romantic.
Verdict
I like today’s episode, and as always, I must mention, that the vibe of Urusei Yatsura is something that might not fit with everyone. Hence, if you enjoy this type of comedy where the story does not follow a set plotline, then I will definitely tell you to check this out.
