Alright, my fellow UY folks!! Since the new trailer has dropped, why don't we unpack everything they've shown us so far?
Or more specifically, what all chapters are getting adapted in the third cour (only third since they won't reveal footage for the fourth one till the third is over.)!!
Also, ignore the stupid quality since I took the pictures on my phone..
First up is the Kurama - Ran - Rei two-parter!! Nice to see Kurama again since I was worried she would be a one time character since she didn't appear in the eye catches. However, I'm pretty sure this is going to be her last appearance since it's her final appearance in the manga (not counting cameos). It's one of the funnier Kurama chapters, so this will be great fun!!
Next up is the 'Fantasy bubblegum' chapter!! Another one I didn't think which would be adapted since we see Ten order the key item in this chapter in the post credits of the love-love crystal ball episode. Maybe the order was delayed? Or Ten didn't use it till now? Who knows. Anyways, this is a pretty funny chapter and I'm excited to see how it turns out (Also BenOyu yuri, Let's goo!!!)
AtaLum fans, Let's rejoice, because it looks like they're adapting "Love knows no barriers" aka the chapter where Lum gets hit with the rice cooker!!! This one is my favorite singular chapter in the series and I absolutely hated the original anime's version of this one so I hope the remake does this one justice!! I'm not sure whether the first one is from this chapter since Ataru's wearing his school uniform instead of his casuals, but maybe it's because of a few changes here and there. DavidPro, you better not disappoint me considering what the original did.
Looks like we're going to get the chapter which introduces the Ryuunosuke's mom (Masako) saga. I'm not sure whether they'll adapt everything under this saga, but the first one seems to be there. I really like this chapter because we get a wholesome relationship between Ryu and Ataru's mom.
THE BODYSWAP CHAPTER!!! This one comes a bit earlier from what I remember and not to mention, it's pretty hilarious (literally any chapter where Sakura has to deal with Ataru's BS is an A+ for me) so I'm super excited!!
ASUKA, MY CHILD!! IT'S HER!! Finally one of my UY Blorbo's gets animated!! And considering the shot of her and Ton- chan, yes guys, they're keeping the incest. I've never understood why there were some who said they wouldn't adapt it but like, it's one of Asuka's main character points and the incest is clearly portrayed as wrong and unacceptable, similar to Ataru's lecherous behavior (They might still tone it down though). Anyways, I'm so excited for Asuka, I can't wait!!!
And finally, two very beloved and very important arcs!! First, I can't believe we're getting three AtaLum stories in this cour, I mean we deserve it after being fed with only one last cour. And second, I'm pretty sure both these arcs are going to be at least a whole episode long considering how big these two are. And I have to admit, the door realm looks so pretty.. and I'm so excited for Shingo, Inaba and their arcs, can't January come already???
And that's all for it!! Other than these, there were two to three shots I couldn't exactly place which chapter they belong to, so sorry about that. And I wanted to point out that the animation looks quite fluid in some scenes as well, so it looks like DavidPro is doing great work as expected. Anyways, UY is coming back once again on January 11th and I am so ready!! THE HYPE IS REAL!!!

Coping With Urusei Yatsura Movie 4: Lum the Forever (1986)
Trying to Explic the Inexplicable
In honor of the movie’s U.S. blu-ray release on the 28th of June (2022) . . .
The anime series Urusei Yatsura (colloquially translated as something like “Buncha Alien Jerks” or “Those Obnoxious Aliens”), based on the manga by Rumiko Takahashi, has more than its share of weirdness, to put it mildly. Viewers of the show were treated to quite a lot of absurdity, oddness, nonsense, and unfamiliar imagery. Nowadays UY is likely best known through the second movie, Beautiful Dreamer, but probably nothing in the entire animated franchise is more surreal and unreal than the fourth movie, Lum the Forever.
It deals with supernatural themes and mysterious disappearances. It doesn’t explain things that happen. It shows things that don’t seem logical even within the story. Was it badly written? Was it sloppy film-making? Was the director being deliberately incomprehensible to thumb his nose at the world? Did we the viewers simply miss things by not paying attention?
I won’t claim to understand everything about Lum the Forever, but here are some thoughts I wrote down the last time I watched it, a few years back (with a tiny bit added here and there).
• This movie is aimed at people with a passionate knowledge of the regular TV series, made by hardcore fans for hardcore fans. The kind of people who can catch a subtle reference to a single episode that aired three years earlier and say to themselves, “Oh yeah! I remember that!” From Sakura’s yokai friends to the air-breathing capsule to Megane’s armor to the reason Kotatsu-Neko might disappear, there are a host of things new viewers or casual viewers would simply be baffled by. And the movie already has more than enough to be confused by without people asking why on earth Ataru would stuff a pickled plum in Lum’s mouth.
It’s practically a given that a movie based on a TV series will reward (or pander to) the fanbase by throwing in little treats—character cameos, inside jokes, a significant object sitting in the background. What’s different in Lum the Forever is that those insider treats are actually relevant within the plot, and the filmmakers still made no effort to explain them.
• Just before she enters the water in one scene, Lum puts something in her mouth—not a single thing is said about it, but it must be one of the air-breathing tablets shown in the episode where the group visits Mendou’s aquarium and tries to bring the “pool ghoul” back together with his true love. Which explains how Lum can breathe while she’s stuck underwater all that time.
• It’s useful to recall that Kotatsu-Neko is not just a giant cat who drinks tea at a kotatsu, he’s a giant ghost cat who drinks tea at a kotatsu.
• They never do tell us the original ending of the “Legend of the Oni Princess.” This is a significant shortcoming in the film. The movie shows Ataru, Mendou, and Megane going to visit Mendou’s grandfather, but we never actually see him. Surely there was meant to be a scene with the grandfather outlining the whole legend, but it must have been cut, resulting in the absence of a crucial piece of the story.
Perhaps in the legend the Oni princess gave birth (literally or figuratively) to the next demon-confining tree: one tree dies, but the Oni births the next tree, and thus the evil spirits are controlled once more. It could be that she died and was buried and became the next tree. Did the legend say something about the Oni princess becoming a companion to the area’s guardian spirit and thus placating that spirit? Could it be that the Oni became the wife of the guardian spirit and they were together parents to the new tree?
• The “Battle Champion Mendou” dream is much too long. For this we lost a segment explaining that legend?
• Mendou’s words at the town assembly might lead one to believe that Tomobiki town wants to get rid of Lum, to expel her from itself, because she is a “foreign particle” (like an infection). However, it seems instead that Tomobiki wants Lum as a friend. (Or lover?) Everyone else is essentially part of Tomobiki and only Lum, as something other than Tomobiki, is a suitable companion. (This is the sense behind the answer to Ran’s remark that she’s also an alien: yes, Ran is also foreign to the town, but she’s just not worth talking to.) The question then becomes why Tomobiki would make everyone else forget Lum, but apparently this is a way of making sure Tomobiki can keep Lum to itself (if people in the town missed Lum and felt a longing for her, that might awaken her and pull her away).
• Mendou starts the war with the Mizunikojis believing that if life becomes horrible enough, everyone in Tomobiki will be unified in the single desire to have things go back to the way they used to be. Mendou expects that this will somehow make the consciousness of Tomobiki release them from the dream world they’re trapped in, presumably by waking up that consciousness. Apparently this is what occurs, combined, however, with Ataru waking up Lum through his desire to see her again (Lum and Tomobiki are shaken from their dream communion at the same moment and therefore the “spell” around the town is broken).
• This movie does a poignant job suggesting that everyone would have been better off if Lum had never been around.
A good site for learning more about Urusei Yatsura is http://www.furinkan.com/uy/index.html. (I have no affiliation with them; it’s just an honest recommendation.)

[Gakuen K] Yatogami Kuroh Route Translation
I want a kotatsu!
LIST OF CHAPTERS
[Translation under the cut]
Neko: Uuuuh, it's cold…
Kuroh: Are you repeating after Shiro?
Neko: Did Shiro say it was cold too?
Saya: Uhm. He said it was very cold.
Neko: Really!? Same as Shiro! Same! Achoo!
Saya: Are you alright? Oh, yes, tissues.
Neko: Thanks, Gohan. Wagahai hate winter…
Saya: They say cats curl up under kotatsu.
Neko: That's right. Kotatsu…
Neko: Kotatsu! Wagahai wants to curl up under the kotatsu!
Saya: You want to put it in the clubroom?
Neko: That's right! Put it here and we'll all snuggle under it together!
Kuroh: Rejected.
Neko: Why!
Kuroh: Because it is not a necessity. You know that our club's expenses are low.
Neko: It's a necessity! Absolutely necessity!
Kuroh: Besides, it would make an already small room even more cramped.
Neko: It's better than the cold!
Saya: Both of you, let's not fight, okay?
Shiro: I'm ho-ome. I heard you from the hallway, what's going on?
Saya: Welcome back, Shiro-kun. Actually, these two were fighting.
Shiro: Fighting is not good. What was the cause?
Kuroh: It's not a fight, Neko is just quibbling.
Neko: I'm not quibbling! Wagahai is making a proposal for the club!
Shiro: You didn't answer my question…
Saya: Um, Neko wants a kotatsu.
Saya: Kuro-kun is against it because we have no money and no space.
Shiro: Thanks. You're the conscience of the Silver club…
Shiro: But I think a kotatu…is a good idea. It's kinda seasonal tradition, and more importantly, it's warm.
Neko: Yoo-hoo! After all, Shiro is Wagahai's Shiro!
Kuroh: Not only the purchase cost, but also the electricity cost. Where in the world are we going to get the money to pay for it?
Shiro: It's okay, it's okay! We made quite a bit of money at the fall school festival. Let's take a look in the net.
Neko: Let's, let's!
Saya: If we have the money, I wouldn't mind buying it too…
Kuroh: Even you… …It's a terrifying thing that corrupts people.
Saya: Corrupts… Maybe you misunderstood what kotatsu is?
Kuroh: Once you put your feet under the kotatsu, you will be too lazy to move, and as a result, you'll become corrupted.
Kuroh: It is still terrifying. It is an evil weapon created by demons.
Saya: That's an exaggeration…
Saya: …Huh, someone's here. Is it Claudia-sensei? It's rare for a teacher to come to the clubroom…
Saya: Okay, I'll open it.
Saya: Sensei, what ha--
Ichigen: Hello.
Kuroh: I-Ichigen-sama! Hello! Thanks for coming all the way out here!
Ichigen: Kuro. You don't have to be so respectfull. I've got a delivery for you.
Saya: Hello, principal. What's the delivery?
Ichigen: Ah, it's you. Long time no see. I'm relieved to see you're doing well.
Shiro: Ah, principal! Did you bring it already?
Kuroh: You bastard…What did you say to Ichigen-sama…?
Ichigen: Kuro. It's okay. Isana-kun, sign here.
Shiro: Oka-ay. That was fast.
Ichigen: Well then, sorry, but would you let me put it indoors?
Shiro: Roger. Thanks a lot! I'll use it again.
Ichigen: Yeah, it's in your service from now own. See you soon.
Kuroh: Ha…! Ichigen-sama, at least have some tea…!
Kuroh: He's gone…
Shiro: Kuro. Don't dwell on the afterglow, help me put the kotatsu in.
Kuroh: …Because it was brought by Ichigen-sama. I'll help you.
Neko: Big package! Hey, hey, could it be, could it be~!
Shiro: Uhm, it's kotatsu.
Neko: Woo-hoo! Kotatsu!
Saya: Isn't it too soon for it…? Also why is the principal…
Shiro: Oh dear, online shopping is so convenient these days.
Shiro: Kuro, can you help me to assemble it?
Kuroh: I refuse. Helping to assemble the tool of corruption…
Shiro: But it was the principal who brought the kotatsu, remember?
Kuroh: Ugh…!
Shiro: Fufu. Okay, instruction and tools.
Kuroh: …I'll just help you assemble it. I won't give in to evil!
Neko: Haaa…It's warm…It's so warm, it feels so good~
Shiro: Yeeah, that's calming…Suddenly I feel like eating tangerines.
Neko: I want to eat tangerines! But I don't want to get out of here~
Shiro: Ahaha, me too.
Kuroh: You see? The corruption has begun immediately, hasn't it?
Saya: Kuro-kun, don't just sit in the corner of the room, get in too.
Kuroh: I refuse. I don't want to be corrupted.
Choice: [Don't say that…]
Saya: Don't say that… Get in here, Kuro-kun. Hey?
Kuroh: E-Even if you look at me like that, I'm not joining you!
Saya: Kuro-kun…
Kuroh: I'm telling you I won't join!
Shiro: One more push, I guess. Hmmm, she's pretty good at it, too.
Choice: [It's not good to force you]
Saya: I see…It's not good to force you.
Saya: I wanted to get under the kotatsu with you. I'll hold back.
Kuroh: …
Kuroh: …I-If you insist that much.
Saya: Hm?
Kuroh: If you insist, I'll join you.
Saya: Eh, is it okay? You're not forcing yourself, right?
Kuroh: Yeah, I'm not forcing myself.
Shiro: In the end, Kuro has a weak spot for her, doesn't he?
Saya: Knock-knock …Huh, it looks like someone has come again.
Shiro: I don't want to leave the kotatsu. Can someone else do it for me?
Neko: Wagahai doesn't want to leave the kotatsu too!
Saya: I'll go.
Kuroh: Wait, I'll go with you.
Saya: Knock-knock Ye-es, who's it?
Kuroh: Ichihen-sama!
Ichigen: Yeah, hello. There's another delivery for you.
Saya: Huh, another one? I wonder what Shiro-kun bought so many of…
Kuroh: This guy…To treat Ichigen-sama like this…! I won't forgive him!!
Ichigen: Kuro. It's okay. It's also my responsibility as a principal.
Ichigen: I am more than happy to give my students a good school life.
Kuroh: I-Ichigen-sama…! What a wonderful thought…!
Ichigen: Well, here's the package. Isana-kun requested to deliver it on the same day.
Ichigen: I don't know what's in them, but he wanted to get it urgently.
Can you sign it for me?
Saya: Y-yeah. Um, is this okay?
Ichigen: Yeah, it's all right…Thanks a lot. Now, if you'll excuse me.
Saya: I wonder what he bought so much of?
Kuroh: Even if Ichigen-sama said it's all right…This guy…He had Ichigen-sama deliver packages to him several times…
Saya: W-Well-well. I have no idea why, but the principal said it's all right….
Kuroh: You're too soft to Shiro. Never mind, lend it to me. I'll get it over there.
Kuroh: Oi, you bastard…What are these packages?
Kuroh: You even order Ichigen-sama to deliver them on the same day. It must be a big deal.
Shiro: Ah, thanks. These are what I call "overwintering items".
Saya: Overwintering items?
Shiro: Right. Two boxes of mandarins, three boxes of family size snacks and a set of cleaning tools.
Kuroh: …Did you buy these with club funds?
Shiro: It's for the comfort of club activities. These are necessities!
I've already explained it to the principal.
Neko: Shiro, these mandarins are sour!
Shiro: Well then, let's do some magic. Sour tangerines become sweeter when you squeeze them enough.
Neko: Really!? I'll try!
Kuroh: Good grief, this is why we are always short of club funds at the critical moment…
Saya: Well-well, I think we're going to have a good time this winter.
Kuroh: …I guess I'll have to agree. Do you eat tangerines too?
Saya: Uhm! After all, nothing is better than to eat tangerines under the kotatsu.
Kuroh: Is that so? But…I guess kotatsu isn't such a bad thing.

This is 'ほんの少しの勇気 (Just a little courage)' by HIRO, the opening theme for the SEGA CD game, 'Urusei Yatsura: Dear My Friends (1994)'.
You've probably seen gifs from this opening (heck, I've even made my own gifset from this) but I don't think many people have seen the actual thing, so I decided to post it since it's incredibly cute.
And in case you're curious, the full song can be heard here!
