Urusei Yatsura

If you're an anime fan, you're almost certainly familiar with Urusei Yatsura, the crazy, slapstick, occasionally romantic, anime comedy series that ran for well over 200 television episodes and six movies during most of the 1980's. If not, well, where do I begin?

The story begins with girl-crazy high-school student Ataru Moroboshi being forced into a game of tag with the flying, lightning-shooting (and really cute) alien princess Lum. If he loses, her race will take over the Earth. He wins, but a careless statement leads Lum to think he's proposed to her. Shortly thereafter, Ataru has an alien girl living with him who's convinced she's his wife, and who gives him nasty electric shocks every time he hits on another girl, which he does constantly.

The crazy characters, and even crazier plots, that follow, are far too numerous for me to go into here, especially when there's already a site which does it so well.

Visit Tomobiki-cho: The Urusei Yatsura Web Site for everything you've ever wanted to know about Urusei Yatsura.

I've only written one story so far for this anime, and it's below.


Lum's Deadline

This story was originally conceived as a "lemon", a fan-fiction term for an R or X-rated story featuring popular anime characters having sex. As I plotted it out, it occurred to me that the story would be better (and a lot funnier), if I removed the sex altogether, dancing around it in classic UY fashion. Nevertheless, the story is a great deal more risque than the average Urusei Yatsura episode.

In the story, Lum's parents inform her that if she doesn't consummate her "marriage" to Ataru, the government will annul it and force her to remarry. When she lies and tells them she has slept with Ataru, they send an official to perform a test to prove it. Now faced with a deadline, Lum tries various tricks to seduce Ataru. A disaster occurs when Lum's alien aphrodisiac gets into the high school's water supply.

The story is written as an anime script, and is accompanied by text which describes it as a "lost episode" and tells how I "acquired" it.
