Some sad news to share - It was announced on Monday that Buichi Terasawa, best known as the creator of Space Adventure Cobra, has passed away. He worked as a staff member of Osamu Tezuka, and debuted Cobra in Shonen Jump in 1976, which became popular in Japan as well as overseas in France, due to the character of Cobra being heavily inspired by French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo. An early pioneer of digital comic work, Terasawa not only was the first mangaka to make a manga entirely on a computer, but was also the first mangaka to make a digital interactive manga called Takeru. In 1998, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor that, sadly, after radiation therapy and multiple surgeries, lead to paralysis in the left side of his body. Despite this, he continued to work as a writer and director of adaptations of his work. He passed away due to a heart attack at the age of 68. Rest in peace to an icon of not only shounen, but digital manga!

Buichi Terasawa, the creator of Goku Midnight Eye and Space Adventure COBRA, has passed away at the age of 68.
Space Adventure COBRA is my second favourite anime, after Lupin III. I first watched it after coming across it when looking up music by Yuji Ohno, as he had composed both the opening and ending themes for the animated show. I ended up binging the anime and adoring it. There are so many similarities to Lupin in how Cobra acts, and it very much at times does feel a bit like Lupin, in space. Absolutely give it a watch, if you haven't already, and may Buichi Terasawa rest in peace! Our thoughts are with his family and friends. 🙏

Do people are getting tired of Lum’s popularity?
When you think of Urusei Yatsura, what is the first thing you think of?
Tumblr media
That’s right, Lum
Lum is literally the mascot of UY, and it’s pretty much nothing without her. Anything UY related is about Lum. But don’t people get tired of her a little bit? I’m mean, Urusei Yatsura is kind of an old anime. And it was made in a time where Anime in general wasn’t mainstream yet. But let me tell you the history of Lum and how her popularity came to be.
Urusei Yatsura’s first chapter was published in September 24, 1978. When Lum first appeared in the chapter, she was a one off antagonist. After several chapters, fans wanted to see Lum more. Takahashi listened and Lum quickly became a main character.
Tumblr media
In the 80s thanks to the anime, Lum became a Japanese 80s phenomenon. So much so there was merch about her, posters about her and music sung by her (I guess), she was everywhere!

Even though the manga was cancelled in 1987, people still remember Lum and love her.
Okay, well, just because Lum was popular in Japan, that doesn’t mean she wasn’t popular or well known outside of Japan (besides that terrible BBC dub). Let me tell you how America knew Lum.
A singer named Matthew Sweet made two music videos released on MTV on 1991. With the first being “Girlfriend”, which features clips from an anime film called “Space Adventure Cobra”, while the second being “I’ve Been Waiting” features clips from Urusei Yatsura, which, you guessed it, features Lum. That’s how people knew Lum and I hope they were surprised that the creator also made Ranma 1/2 (which was in the 90s).

Americans and anime fans became in love with Lum. So much so that back then, they consider themselves as “Lum fans”, not “UY fans”.
Which brings me to my question, do people are getting tired of Lum’s popularity? The answer is hard to answer. Because Urusei Yatsura has become relevant over the years and people are starting to know the other characters. But overall, it's Lum we're talking about. But I won't blame them because Urusei Yatsura is such an old manga. So if people remember or know Lum more but not the others, then that isn't really fair.
Because when you look at the characters of UY, it's quite big. The characters are all underrated. Some of the characters are even inspirations for Rumiko's other mangas, like Ryunosuke being a prototype of Ranma.
Tumblr media
Urusei Yatsura is what I would call... a classic.
