Production notes
This TV series ran for 218 episodes.
Based on Rumiko Takahashi's 1978 manga in "Shonen Sunday" magazine.
Subtitled releases were issued by AnimEigo.
Numerous movies were released. The first two were directed by Mamoru Oshii and designed by Kazuo Yamazaki. The 101-minute "Only You" (1983) introduced the character Elle. The 98-minute "Beautiful Dreamer" was released in 1984.
Yamazaki directed the 90-minute "Remember My Love" (1985), with character designs by Akemi Takada. The 95-minute "Lum the Forester" (1986) was also directed by Yamazaki and designed by Takada; Tsukasa Dokite directed the animation.
"Kanketsuhen" ("Urusei Yatsura The Final Chapter"), which ran for 85 minutes, was released in 1988. New characters included Lupa and Carla. Satoshi Dezaki directed Tomoku Konparu's screenplay; designs were by Setsuko Shibunoichi.
This would prove not to be the "final chapter": in 1991, the 77-minute "Always (Itsudatte) My Darling" was released. New characters included Lupica, Benten and Oyuki. Katsuhisa Yamada directed, with the screenplay by Hideo Takayashiki and Konparu. Kumiko Takahashi designed and directed the animation; music was by Mitsuru Kotaki.
The Japanese Urusei Yatsura fan club began showing "exclusive" mini-movies at public events in 1986. These turned out to be advance copies of the 45-minute direct-to-video "Ryoko's September Tea Party" and "Memorial Album," which both combined flashback footage from the series with about 15 minutes of new framing animation to explain the characters' history and episodes from the story line.
The 57-minute "Inaba The Dream Maker" (1987) introduced the character of a transdimensional white rabbit.
"Raging Sherbet" (1988) introduced Ran, as well as alien ice cream cones. "Nagisa's Fiance" was released the same year. Both videos ran for 30 minutes.
In 1989, four new 25-minute direct-to-video stories were released: "I Howl at the Moon," "Catch the Heart," "Goat and Cheese" and "The Electric Household Guard."
"Terror of Girly-eye Measles" and "Date with a Spirit," also 25-minute videos, were released in 1991.
In 2000, minor British celebrities improvised a dub of two episodes. This was aired as "Lum the Invader Girl" as part of a "Japan Night" on a British cable channel.
Alternate titles: "Those Obnoxious Aliens," "Weird Folk from Planet Uru," "Noisy People."
