Urusei Yatsura Movie 1: Only You · review

9 /10

Quick take: “Only You,” is one of the most important turning points in Lum and Ataru’s relationship. The story is very well written and is worth a watch. I do suggest you watch this as part of the series, not as a stand alone as it expects you to have a working knowledge of the characters and premise. If you’ve been waiting for some Lum and Ataru romance, you’ll find a bit of it here. Rewatch value: extremely high. Score relative to the series. My Original series score: 10 “Only You,” is a fun story that is key in the relationship between Ataru and Lum. It was wellwritten and easy to follow. There are quite a few gags and classic UY bat-shit insanity that will make this a favorite if you enjoyed the original series. The references to pop-culture are plenty and unmistakable. There are two ways you can look at the movie and get the same level of enjoyment. Like I did on my first watch, you can take the story at face value and find it incredibly entertaining, or you can think about the points it conveys underneath the surface in relation to Ataru.

Art is on par with the series and sound would be slightly worse, mostly due to the music which is just okay for this movie when compared to the rest of the series. Voice acting is on par.

Characters remain high as they are all well thought out and acted, including the new characters. This movie, although seemingly lighthearted, is an important development point for Ataru. To me, this movie marks the turn in where the tension in Lum and Ataru's relationship stems from.

I found this movie highly enjoyable and is a must watch for anyone looking to complete the UY storyline. I would also suggest this be watched in release order.
