Lum Squad #10: "You "Only You" Once" Dec 20, 2021

Show notes

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 the 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! What better occasion to start 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!

#Lum Squad #09: "Doesn't Anyone Here Love Each Other?" Nov 30, 2021

Show notes

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!

#Lum Squad #08: "Chain of Memories" Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

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!

Manga Mavericks EP. 182: Parasyte Nov 17, 2021

Show notes

On this episode of Manga Mavericks, Colton & Lum are joined by Dawn from the Anime Nostalgia Podcast, as well past manga editor and game creator, Jason Thompson, to discuss Hitoshi Iwaaki's classic manga, Parasyte! A sci-fi, horror, action story about a teenager named Shinichi, who's body is almost taken over by a parasitic creature, but stops it just before it reaches his brain causing it to only take over his left hand. Shinichi and his new parasite companion, Migi, figure out how to coexist together as they attempt to hide Migi's existence from other people while also coming in contact with other parasites! We discuss this horrifying but silly series, as we touch on how Iwaaki explores things like grief, trauma and even environmentalism?! We also discuss what we think of the 2014 anime from Madhouse, as well as just how far the manga's availability has come in the US since the first time it was licensed by Tokyopop!

#Lum Squad #07: "The Miss Tomobiki Contest!" Nov 12, 2021

Show notes

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!

Manga Mavericks EP. 180: GeGeGe no Kitaro Nov 03, 2021

Show notes

On this episode of Manga Mavericks, Colton & Lum are joined by Eisner award winning comics artist, Joey Weiser, Twitter extraordinaire and horror enthusiast, Casey "MinovskyArticle", as well as translator and yokai expert, Zack Davisson, to discuss Shigeru Mizuki's GeGeGe no Kitaro manga! We discuss not only our thoughts on the comic in general, but as well as the life of Shigeru Mizuki and how his works have truly influenced Japanese culture as a whole! Disclaimer: A gosh darn audio yokai came in while we were recording and messed up some of Zack's audio, which means that some of it was so inaudible that parts of our conversation had to be cut, but we hope you enjoy the episode anyway!
