    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The name "Urusei Yatsura" is a pun within a pun. In normal Japanese, the name would be spelled "urusai yatsura" (meaning "obnoxious people"). However, the title is spelled with the Japanese kanji karacter for "star" ("Hoshi" or "sei") making it "Urusei Yatsura" which could be interpreted as "jerks from Planet Uru," "Those annoying bastards from the planet Uru" or as Animeigo had it for a while, "Those Obnoxious Aliens."
    • Quotes

      [opening song lyrics]

      Lum: Don't get so fidgety! You're always looking all over the place! Stop looking away from me! More than anyone else, I love you, love you, love you the best! Love you, love you, love you! Love you, love you, love you! On nights when the stars are twinkling, I dream all about you. I love you, but you act like you don't know. I bet you're crazy for someone else by now! Ah! Men all have so many loves. Ah! You're spreading them all over, and making me worry! Don't get so fidgety! You're always looking all over the place! Stop looking away from me! More than anyone else, I love you the best! Love you the best!

    • Crazy credits
      During the end credits, we see Lum dance to the song "space is weird" and after the credits close we see the cast in a big crowd and a Dappya monster falls on Ataru's head.
