The official website for the new television anime of Rumiko Takahashi's Urusei Yatsura manga revealed three more cast members on Thursday for the second half of the anime.
M.A.O as Asuka Mizunokōji
Toshiharu Sakurai as Asuka's Father
Kotono Mitsuishi as Asuka's Mother
The site is also streaming special promotional video for the anime. Hiroshi Kamiya narrates the video as Ataru Moroboshi, and in the video Ataru introduces all the women he loves as well as "others."
The anime premiered in the Noitamina programming block on Fuji TV in October 2022. HIDIVE is streaming the anime, and began streaming the English dub on March 1.
The anime's first half ran for half a year, or two cours (quarters of a year), without breaks. The entire run of the anime will adapt selected stories from the manga and last four cours, or a full year, although not consecutively.
Plot of The Story: Revisit the acclaimed romantic comedy about an unlucky human boy who meets a beautiful space alien princess in this large trim size edition with all-new translations and new cover designs. In the series, Ataru Moroboshi's supernatural encounters with the feminine kind all start when he's chosen to play tag with an alien princess named Lum who invades the earth on her UFO. Ataru has ten days to touch Lum's horns or aliens will take over the earth! As it turns out, the game of tag is only the beginning of Ataru's troubles, as he continues to attract strange encounters with otherworldly beings like beautiful snow spirit Oyuki and the sexy crow goblin Princess Kurama!
The manga inspired a television anime series that ran from 1981 to 1986, various anime films, and an original video anime (OVA) series. AnimEigo released most of the previous anime on home video except for the Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer film, which Central Park Media released. After these companies' licenses expired, Discotek Media has been reissuing the movies.
