August 30, 2018 marks the 40th anniversary of one of the
weirdest, wackiest, and most beloved series to ever come out of
Japan: Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! And
returning guest Lynn is here to talk all about the series’ history
& what made it so unique, why we still love it even all these
years later, and how excited we are that Viz will be re-releasing
the manga in English in 2019! Also in this episode: why Animeigo
wasn’t the one to release the 2nd movie, how Takahashi’s playing
with gender roles affected many readers growing up, and what Urusei
Yatsura and Star Trek have in common!
