| 01 Feb 2021 | #LumSquad #04: "New Year, New Chapters, New Podcast!" | 02:15:36 | |
Hello, darlings! Welcome back to #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! We went back on an unexpected hiatus again last year, but hey, Viz’s second attempt to release UY in the 90s also unceremoniously stopped too. As they say, the third time’s the charm, and at least we’ve come back for our third try much faster than they did! Much like Viz’s regular releases of the series, we’re dedicated to resuming regular episodes of this podcast, which in our case will be monthly releases on the last Friday of every month from here on out! We’ve already got some episodes banked and planned, and with more manga coming out and Discotek bringing the movies out later this year, there’ll always be plenty to talk about! | |||
| 18 Nov 2021 | #Lum Squad #08: "Chain of Memories" | 01:29:03 | |
Hello, darlings! Welcome back to #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! We’ve entered the double-digits of Urusei Yatsura’s omnibus volumes, and to mark the occasion we’re mixing up our format for covering the manga from here on out. Our past couple of volume discussions have run so long that from here on out we’ll be splitting our discussions of the omnibuses into two separate episodes as opposed to one big long one, which we hope will help us edit and release episodes more reliably and regularly! We’re starting off our coverage of the 10th omnibus today with a collection of stories that deal with summertime and memories! Tune in as we explore some fishy stories involving a love triangle between a pool ghoul, blowfish, and a shark, a jellyfish in a can jam, and learning to swim like your life depends on it! Plus we take a stroll down memory lane while reliving Sakura’s childhood by playing with monsters, Ryuu’s rocky relationship with her strange estranged mother (?), and Benten’s literal chain of memories! So join us for some fun in the sun and to learn some surprising secrets about some beloved characters’ lives as we dive into another swimmingly fluid volume of Urusei Yatsura!

| 01 Jun 2020 | #LumSquad #03: "The Return of Lum Squad!" | 01:31:28 | |
Hello, darlings! Welcome to the return of our Urusei Yatsura podcast, Lum Squad! Well, technically we already returned in last month’s episode, but there was actually a year-long break in between recording that and this episode! Think of it as like how there was a break between Viz’s original publication of “Lum” that prompted their continuation being re-titled “The Return of Lum.” Except we’re not re-titling this podcast; it didn’t work in the 90’s and it ain’t happening now. Anyways, because it’d been so long since AC and I recorded the show, we decided to spend this episode going through all the UY volumes Viz has released in the past year and share our thoughts on them! We discuss our favorite chapters, characters, the translation, lettering, and pretty much everything! Oh, and you KNOW we ranted about the whole “Hot Springs Emblem” situation. I really hope Viz reconsiders that name… Afterward, we dive into the Urusei Yatsura fan community, exploring its history and current state now! Look forward to our next episode where we’ll dive into our experiences collecting Urusei Yatsura merch and memorabilia! Oh, and of course, if you haven’t heard the news that Discotek has relicensed the Urusei Yatsura movies and plans to release them on streaming and blu-ray later this year – yeah, that’s happening! We’re more than excited and looking forward to discussing the new and the films in future episodes!

| 28 May 2020 | #LumSquad #02: "Lum: The Animated Series!" | 02:43:11 | |
Hello, darlings! Welcome back to #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! Since we covered the manga on our first episode, for our second installment we’re diving deep into the anime! We explore the anime’s production history, how the show changes over its run, the incredible production staff and vocal talent on the show, and tons more! Plus, we rant about Mamoru Oshii’s influence and question common assertions made about the show’s quality, while sharing some thoughts on the show’s eclectic musical score. To top it off, we answer a ton of fan questions, and talk about our favorite episodes of the show! All in all, we spend two and a half hours discussing the anime, and we’ve barely even scratched the surface of stuff we plan to cover in future episodes! PODCAST BREAKDOWN: 00:00 – Intro & Updates Q&A’s!! 1:26:22 – Our Thoughts on the Tachiguishi and Backdoor Pilots

| 01 Mar 2021 | #LumSquad #05: "Some Like It Hot Springs Emblem!" | 02:46:25 | |
Hello darlings! Welcome back to #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! Continuing our read-through of Viz’s rerelease of the manga, we cover volume 7! This volume prominently features Onsen-Mark... sorry, “Hot Springs Emblem.” We still need to get used to that. But hey, his name change may leave us cold but some like it Hot Springs Emblem so who are we to judge? Anyway, everyone’s favorite bewildered and beleaguered educator gets the spotlight in a lot of chapters this volume, building off of the Tomobiki High-centric stories and Teachers vs Students conflict established last time. But this volume also features the notable returns of some old frenemies - Kurama and Tobimaro! Coincidentally, both are out for Mendo's head - in more ways than one! Man, Mendo gets into a lot of trouble in this volume, doesn’t he? We also talk about the series’s pop culture references, color pages, character dynamics, and so much more in another lengthy but jam-packed discussion of one of the series’ most eclectic volumes yet!

| 05 Feb 2022 | #Lum Squad #11: "New Year, New Podcast, New ANIME?! Urusei Yatsura's All-Stars Reboot!!" | 01:20:43 | |
Hello darlings! Welcome back to #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! Urusei Yatsura’s getting a new anime!!! The Urusei Yatsura All-Stars reboot was announced on New Year’s Eve to bring in the year of the tiger with electrifying excitement! All us Urusei Yatsura fans went out of our minds with this out of the world announcement, and we couldn’t wait to talk about it on the show. Which is why right at the stroke of midnight (central US time), we recorded a special podcast covering everything we know about the upcoming anime and what to expect from it! That’s right, we recorded our first new podcast of the year literally right when the year began! I wish I could’ve released this episode as timely as we released it, but hey, at least it isn’t out of date yet! Even if it’s a little late, this episode is still special because it’s our very first episode to have special guests! That’s right, we’re joined by VLord, host of many podcasts including the Shogakukan-focused podcast Saturday Night Shoggy, and Sakaki, co-host of Saturday Night Shoggy and webmaster of the Weekly Shogakukan Edition blog and Twitter, whose tweet about the news went viral hours before it was officially confirmed! We discuss our reactions to the leaks before the official confirmation came in, our thoughts on the new studio and actors, wonder if Nagotoro is the modern-day Lum, worry whether Ataru’s perviness would offend modern viewers, what stories we expect to be adapted, and whether we think the new show will broaden UY’s worldwide popularity! So join us as we put weird and weird together yet again and embrace a new anime that’ll make things even weirder!

| 20 Dec 2021 | #Lum Squad #10: "You "Only You' Once" | 01:48:23 | |
Hello darlings! Welcome back to #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! It’s time for I, I, You, and I to review Urusei Yatsura: Only You! We’re so excited to finally have the films streaming on Crunchyroll and coming to blu-ray courtesy of Discotek, and so we’ll be periodically interrupting our coverage of the manga to review each movie! And what better occasion to start with than on our 10th episode AND just ahead of the upcoming blu-ray release of Only You coming later this month! We’re starting off with the series’s first movie, Only You, a much-beloved crowd-pleaser that director Mamoru Oshii was loath to make! While clearly a love letter to the series, do we agree with Oshii that it’s more of an extended episode than a “real film?” We discuss the fascinatingly fraught production history of Only You, analyze Elle as a parallel to both Lum and Ataru, describe the multitude of references and callbacks to the series, and evaluate the film’s iconic music and far less esteemed english dub! They say a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, but where does this first feature fall among the other films in the franchise? Only you will find out by listening to our show!

| 28 Nov 2021 | #Lum Squad #09: "Doesn't Anyone Here Love Each Other?" | 01:43:03 | |
Hello, darlings! Welcome back to #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! Our discussion on Urusei Yatsura Volume 10 was so long we had to split it up across multiple recordings for different parts! This discussion is an interesting mix of different recordings in of itself, because we had originally discussed the first two chapters in this episode, the “Love Letter Trouble” two-parter, at the tail end of our previous recording that you heard in our last episode, and our discussion of the remaining chapters in the volume was split down the middle into two different recordings because of an audio mishap on AC’s end that froze his Audacity during our discussion of the “Lover Thief” two-parter. All this to say that this episode is still kind of a weird frankenstein of different recordings, which is why you may hear some differences in the audio during different parts of it. That said, I think the sum of these parts still makes for an excellent episode and discussion of the chapters included in the second half of UY’s 10th omnibus volume, effectively the 20th volume of the original tankobons! We talk about a really uneven collection of chapters in this one, featuring a lotta stories about love troubles! We’ve got Ryoko trying to run the bases with Tobimaro, starcrossed peach spirits who can’t get a head, ghost girls with puppy love, giant octopuses gone wild, Kurama’s last-ditch attempt to get laid, and even some character development for Rei?! It’s a wild ride as we go over some really great chapters, as well as one of the series' absolute worst! Which of these stories did we love and which one did we loathe? You’ll just have to tune in and join us as we go on another journey into the lovely world of Urusei Yatsura! PODCAST BREAKDOWN: 00:20 - Intro 03:54 - Love Letter Trouble - Part 1 1:34:43 - Final Thoughts on Volume 10 1:37:11 - Wrap-up Enjoy the show, and follow us on twitter at @Lum_Squad, on tumblr at lumsquad.tumblr.com, and subscribe to us on Youtube!

Hello, darlings! Welcome back to #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! Rising up like a tidal wave and roaring like a dragon, Ryunosuke Fujinami has finally arrived! At long last, English manga fans finally get to meet the last and arguably most important member of Urusei Yatsura's main cast - a manly girl who yearns to be feminine whose character and stories bear no small resemblance to Rumiko Takahashi's later work, Ranma 1/2! But this volume doesn't just feature Ryunosuke! We've also got the introduction of Ten's zealous firefighting mom, return appearances by Kurama and Benten, Onsen-Mark's last-ditch attempt at revenge, and so much more! So listen to us ride the rocky waves of this eclectic volume and sink in all this classic Urusei Yatsura weirdness!

| 12 Nov 2021 | #Lum Squad #07: "The Miss Tomobiki Contest!" | 02:45:12 | |
Hello, darlings! Welcome back to #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! We've officially hit the halfway point of the Urusei Yatsura manga! The series' ninth omnibus is a fantastic collection of stories, a real showcase of the manga in its prime! Perhaps no storyline best demonstrates this than the series' longest and most ambitious story arc to date - The Miss Tomobiki Contest! A mini-tournament arc featuring the badass beauties of the series facing off against each other and wild animals, this storyline is an awesome and hilarious mix of character gags and action-comedy, and another step towards the style of storytelling Takahashi would employ later in Ranma 1/2! But while The Miss Tomobiki Contest is definitely the main event, this volume is also jam-packed with a ton of other great and memorable stories, including the origins of Mendo's claustrophobia, the revenge of Galactic Teacher CAO-2, the identity of Ryuu's mother, and Ryuu and Shinobu's "pretend" date! We’ve got a lot of stories to cover, so tune in for our rundown of another eclectic collection of classic Urusei Yatsura adventures!

Hello darlings! We’re the #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! As longtime Manga Mavericks fans know, Urusei Yatsura is LumRanmaYasha’s favorite manga, and they’ve been wanting to make a podcast about it for a long time. Teamed up together with AC, the leader of Twitter’s #LumSquad and the #DailyLum, we’re starting up a new monthly podcast dedicated to discussing the series! In our inaugural episode, we introduce ourselves, our history with the series, and our thoughts on the first volume of Viz Media’s new omnibus editions of the series! Plus, we analyze the complicated character of the lecherous simpleton Ataru Moroboshi, and answer a ton of Q&As, including what episodes we’d recommend to newcomers and how…”effable” is Mendou! Let’s put weird and weird together, because space is super weird, and we’re going to talk about it! PODCAST BREAKDOWN: 00:00 – Introducing the #LumSquad! 03:40 – Meet the #LumSquad!
