Trivia:
When spoken out loud, Cherry's real name, Sakuranbo, sounds just like the Japanese word for "cherry", or the fruit. However, when reading the kanji (Japanese characters) used to spell his name, the meaning can be interpreted as "Demented Monk"; a very fitting description, indeed.

No doubt about it, Urusei Yatsura was one of the best anime series of the 80's. This tale of an alien princess, Lum, in love with the world's biggest lecher, Ataru, could only come from the wild mind of Rumiko Takahashi.
This fantastic comedy/sci-fi/romance is full of memorable characters like Ten, Sakura, Mendo, Shinobu, Ryunosuke, Ran, Cherry and a lot of others. The stories will have you busting out laughing and the animation is pretty good by 80's standards. The voice actors are all first rate, but a special round of applause must be given to Fumi Hirano for her portrayal of Lum. It's just to perfect for words.
So if you're an anime fan, your collection isn't complete without some UY in it. Da'cha!
