It seems that this movie was made to get the younger generation interested in the series, because many of the characters were reintroduced, but overall its a so-so story. The Lupic-Rio relationship works, but many of the scenes with the other characters do not work as well as in previous movies. Also, the animation is a little below number 5.

This movie was produced as a 10th anniversary special. I'd heard from a lot of people that it wasn't all that great. However, I really enjoyed it! It's not deep, but it's fun. I thought the Lupica-Rio romance was cute, and the Lum-Ataru interaction was spot on. I wonder if people who didn't like it just had their exptectations raised because there had not been any Urusei Yatsura for a while. Storywise, I'd put it about on a level with movie 3 (Remember My Love). One disappointment about this movie is that the artwork is very sketchy, well below the level of the other movies or the OVA's. As is fitting for an anniversary show, there are many cameo appearances by characters from the show's past. Keep your eyes open! Bottom line: Don't expect it to be the ultimate UY experience, but it's definitely worth seeking out. Last updated Wednesday, September 19 2001. Created Tuesday, September 11 2001. | ||||||||
