Never thought I’d see the day when Lum’s electrical shocks felt less like a punchline and more like a nod to modern internet memes. The way the new Urusei Yatsura balances throwback slapstick with today’s sharper, faster wit feels almost revolutionary for classic anime humor. That scene where Ataru totally blanks during a TikTok style dance off cracked me up, not gonna lie. It’s wild seeing what used to be campy now loop back as edgy or even kind of meta.
Makes me wonder if this is setting up some bigger commentary about comedy evolving with fandoms. Maybe the writers are dropping hints that old jokes can stay alive if they adapt, like alien technology rewiring human TV. Next episode hype is like waiting for Lum to zap my Monday awake—curious what twists or throwbacks other people are hoping for?
