Are people who call Urusei Yatsura a 'harem' retarded? It’s literally the complete opposite of a haremOr did they just watch the first opening and assumed it was a love triangle?
I remember years and years ago, in the 00s and early 2010s, there was a trend of calling Lum a tsundere too for some reason
>>289807222I don't know, I've never met them. Why don't you ask them instead of shitting up the board with garbage threads?Try making threads about anime, not about people talking about anime.
>>289807222phone posting zoomer. hopefully that 11 means you live in france and not the ME
>>289807222>literally who news article>retarded questionActually fucking kill yourself
>>289807222I buy it. Female main cast: Lum, Benten, Oyuki, Ran, Shinobu, Sakura, Ryuunosuke, Ryoko, KuramaMale main cast: Ataru, Mendo. If you want to stretch it you can add The parents and Asuka and her brother Tobimaro. But that is really it. Yeah, the stormtroopers are there but they're pretty much anime only. So, sure, it's a harem. A harem with an actual libido too. Not quite Rance, but he's got the ambition.
>>289808137Don't necrobump shit threads, retard
>>289808146Eat me.
>>289807222Screenrant, CBR, etc are engagement bait sites. They shit out so many articles, sometimes with the help of AI generation, and do not care about quality. They just spam out articles written by clueless nobodies, who do no research. The focus is on speed not quality. Just ignore them. Don't get mad at them since that plays into their game. They know that their inflamatory retard articles will inflame fan passion, leading to people talking about them.
>>289808137Ataru is woman-repellent apart from Lum who is an alien
>>289807222>anime journalism
>>289807222Even though it technically isn't a harem. I can understand people saying it started the harem romance genre. It set the ground work for harem series. Its the "Proto-harem" if you will.
>>289807305What's the difference?
>>289807222the rule number 1 for harems is that females love interests cant lust after other men (there can be no romantic competition for the MC)that rule is broken within the first couple of episodes when the childhood friend lusts after that rich chad and when Lum is revlead to had been in a romantic relationship before with some other alien that later enters back into her lifeYou know, when you're going to post clickbait articles I think they should be at least partly-true instead of complete moronic nonsense
Notice how there's always one faggot constantly necrobumping the shittest threads
>>289810320U mad bro?
>>289807222Whoa
>>289807222It was a subversion of harem tropes before harem was a thing It's genius
>>289807222It both created the harem genre and unironically deconstructed it all at the same time, and the deconstruction wasn’t even originally intended but simply Rumiko seething that she was forced to sideline her self-insert in favor of Lum so she tried to punish Lum by retconning Ataru’s character and turning him into a perverted chud, he was nothing like that back when he still with Shinobu, his main schtick was supposed to be his unluckiness, not his womanizing.
>>289808137You literally do not know what harem means
>>289812888Also note that she made certain that her self insert ended with a man that was qualitatively better than Ataru in every way. Funny how an author can get mad that their creation (Lum) is much more beloved than their self insert ever could be. She "fixed" this in Ranma by making 100% sure Shampoo could never win, even though once again Shampoo was a much better person and character than Akane ever was. Although really every single girl in Ranma was better than Akane, so yeah.
>>289813999>Shampoo was a much better person and character than Akane ever wasHoly cope
>>289807222>Are people whoNope.
>>289813999>better personShampoo is literally an assassin
>>289807222>Are people [...] retarded?yes.
>>289816977>Shampoo is literally an assassinAt least she’s not a raging bitch and doesn’t act like she’s on her period 24/7 like Akane does though.
>>289813999Ranma is basically a pseudo-reboot of Rumiko’s original UY concept before the series got away from her due to editorial interference.
>>289820909Ranma is just making a show around Ryunuske.
>>289807222most old anime "fans" are larpers. look at the ranma trans debates
>>289807222does that site exist solely to troll /a/ troglodytes or what
>>289808777>who is an alienBenten, Ran Oyuki, Kurama and Karura are also alien and Ataru repels them or they use him at best. Lum is Ataru's karma, not only an alien.There's a reason she's an oni. Outside her figure, Lum represents the worst of women and everything men hate about them (pathological jealousness, reckless outbursts, possessiveness, pettiness, spitefulness, selfishness and sore losing tendencies).
>>289812888>Rumiko seething that she was forced to sideline her self-insert in favor of Lum so she tried to punish Lum by retconning Ataru’s character and turning him into a perverted chudLum is supposed to be Ataru's karma, everything he HATES about women condensed and encapsuled in an oni shaped alien with an overly "lovely" exterior. His punishment for being a degenerate.
>>289820267>At least she’s not a raging bitch and doesn’t act like she’s on her period 24/7 like Akane does though.Both Akane and Shampoo and Kodachi are menhera in different flavors. One is a BPD tsun-not-dere with amger issues and Shampoo is a borderline yandere.Ranma and Kunou are narcissists and Ryouga is the only sane one (next to Shinnosuke), but he's a simp. Mlusse is an idiot loser who doesn't know his place.Basically everyone in Ranma seems to have escaped from a psych ward.
>>289822098>around RyunuskeBut fused with Mendou's arrogance and Ataru's bigotry against a specific girl.
>>289807222If anything, Ataru's dynamic with the girls is the opposite of that of a typical harem: he wants to fuck every girl he sees but, besides Lum, no girl wants to have anything to do with him.
