Yes, i was the one who used to edit stuff on this wiki for the anime i've been obsessed with back then that changed my life to anime, especially the classic ones... what else could i say?!
My first discovery about Urusei Yatsura was back when someone posted an teaser for the 2022 ''All-Stars'' reboot (or remake to what some calls it), but it didn't get me attention through it since i'm not much into that kind of animation back then.
But it wasn't until later on that same year that some Irish friend of mine (Cetra) has posted one of the clips from the limited gag dub produced from the BBC... and that went viral as hell, and that caught my eye too.
Thanks to that, i literally got into to what Urusei Yatsura really went by and the history behind all of it and like i stated before, that 80s anime literally changed my life and it literally also made me knowing some other Rumiko works such as Maison Ikkoku along with her more well-known works such as Ranma and Inuyasha.
Back then, as a huge Urusei fan myself, i was quite hyped up to see what ''All-Stars'' revival of the show turns out as i already liked the 80s version, it got me hooked to see ''further'' adventures of Lum, Ataru and the wacky world of romance, war, debates, love and comedy they've all got up to in Tomobiki and it got me editing on this wiki (which the information was somewhat obscure back before i got into it) and for the anime itself, it kept me watching.
(And before you ask, no, i don't own this wiki nor i gain administration for it but i was one of the few to get more information about the whole franchise.)
Normally i was expecting it to last around the same time the 80s version did, but after 2 years, it literally just ends quicker than what i've thought, even with a hug.
Looking back on the whole ''All-Stars'' remake and the whole hype along with it is quite a simple experience, but my thoughts on it is quite complicated really and i was 16 when it arrived (which i'm now 19)
Some may find it decent like myself, but i do understand that others may call it a ''mixed bag'' in comparison to the classic 80s version (due to some re-used stories) but despite it, it really may help getting Urusei Yatsura to have its large international fanbase in some form as it deserves (aside from being extremely popular in some countries such as Japan and Italy) and it really got me into more interest on other (mostly classic) anime shows, such as non-Rumiko works such as The Moomins, The Laughing Salesman, Doraemon, Kimagure Orange Road and ESPECIALLY Neon Genesis Evangelion but i really did catch on for some modern ones such as Your Name and Weathering with You films.
And even if the wacky adventures end in Tomobiki and got into different anime that i (or may) like since i'm not overly obsessed about this show compared to what my 16 year old me says otherwise, (which is the reason why i went active for so long), it really deserves it legacy and i still give credit to this anime to how it changes my life for animation throughout the world and if it wasn't for my great Irish friend and her post for the BBC gag dub that went viral, this anime would end up in its tough places.
Thank you all, and until i see you all somewhere through time and space, またね！(That's ''see you'' in Japanese, if you know what i mean! XD)
