#LumSquad #03: "The Return of Lum Squad!"
Podcast
About this episode
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!
