On the official site for fuji creative corporation it was listed that the new anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi, Urusei Yatsura (Lum, the Invader Girl), will have a total of 46 episodes. This has come to confuse fans because the first adaptation produced by the studios Pierrot Y Studio Deen in 1981 it had a total of 195 episodes, so they are already waiting “lots of cuts“.

This series has its premiere scheduled for the season of Autumn-2022 (October-December) in Japan and since its announcement it had already been reported that “will adapt selected stories from the manga and run for four quarters or a full year“.

The manga inspired a 195-episode anime adaptation released in October 1981, a series of films, and a series of OVAs.

When Earth is threatened by a fleet of alien invaders known as the Oni, Ataru is selected to represent humanity in a duel against one of their number. It is a stroke of luck for Ataru that the duel is in fact a game of catch, and that his opponent is Lum, daughter of the leader of the Oni, who places her personal dignity above victory when Ataru removes her upper body. her bikini by mistake and with it, she takes the victory. However, misfortune strikes again when Lum mistakes Ataru’s promise to marry her girlfriend, Shinobu Miyake, as a desire to marry Lum, and decides that she likes the idea of her. Exercising her influence as an alien princess, she moves in with him.
