About 40 episodes into this so far and I have to say that Lum is kind of mediocre for such an iconic character. I think she barely scratches the top 3 girls in her show, I prefer Shinobu and Ran over her and even then, I wouldn't be surprised if I change my mind later and put Sakura in third place instead. I'm trying to see Ataru do funny shit and get into funny antics but it's always cut short by "DAHLIIIIIIIIIIIIING!" followed by the lightning attack

Sakura is best girl by far, lum is dum (and therefore bad)
Brayden Martinez
Lum's whole gimmick is she's a controlling, manipulative, bitch, which I guess for that era wasn't common (?) so people like her for her quirkiness. I can't stand her.
David Cook
You're a fucking retard if you're not captivated by her ~daccha. Stop watching the show.
Mason Walker
She speaks like an ESL. That's not endearing, it just means she's too dumb to learn the language correctly.

>I prefer Shinobu and Ran over her
I agree, but she had novelty on her side, I think.

Are you me? Its rare to run across someone else with the same refined tastes.

Easy guide to know which episodes of UY are worth watching:
1. Does it feature Ran prominently? If yes then it's a great episode. If not then it's trash so skip it and move on to the next episode.
Ryder Flores
Lum is the ur-otakubait character. It doesn't feel like anything special now, because everything since Lum has Lum DNA
UY is still fun

Easy guide to know which episodes of UY are worth watching:
1. Does it feature Benten prominently? If yes then it's a great episode. If not then it's trash so skip it and move on to the next episode.

So what are the four good episodes?
Joshua Watson
Shinobu is best girl. This should be obvious.
Lucas Taylor
In no particular order:
15
53
85
97

160
OVA4

How to fix UY:
1. remove Lum entirely
2. make Shinobu the main girl / love interest
3. have Ran be the cute alien girl competing for Ataru's attention
All problems are now solved.

Isn't that basically Ranma with Akane and Shampoo?
Joseph Cruz
for me? its kurama
Zachary Ward
And Ranma ended up being fantastic. Take notes, Rumiko.
Thomas Collins
This was one of Shinobu's most effay outfits
Brandon Reyes
The tiny crow bros are great.
Blake Reyes
Shame they axed her so early on
Michael Miller
Shes one of those characters, and one of those shows, that everyone emulated afterwards to varying degrees than to a modern viewer it seems cliche and boring. A lot of that is happening to classic anime series. Fuck you zoomers.

does kurama count as a goth girl?
Charles Barnes
>dresses in all black
>straps
>spiked choker in the manga
I'd say so.
Kevin Lewis
In fact Shinobu is CANONICALLY best girl, as described by Rumiko herself. Word of God:
furinkan.com
>What was the deciding factor for you to wrap up Urusei Yatsura?
>Because of Shinobu. As the story went on, Ataru and Lum became like a couple and I began to think about how to make Shinobu happy. Then I came up with a storyline in which Ataru, Lum, and Shinobu find many doors to future parallel worlds. I felt that "I could see a bright future for Shinobu," and decided to conclude Urusei Yatsura.
This should effectively end the discussion. Shinobu best girl, full stop.
Aaron Lopez
No, Akane is Lum, the pre-destined bitchy future wife character. Ukyo is more like Shinobu here.
Lucas Price
Dumb
Akane/Shinobu is the whiny first girl with a hot temper
Shampoo/Lum is the foreigner obsessed with the MCs cock
