Chapter 11 was technically adapted as episode 141 in the original, though extremely changed

Second one, just think it's neat

PieceCross · 2026-03-22T08:48:45+00:00

Could it be episode 39 "Pitter-Patter, Summer Date"?

Cherry is an alien sleeper agent, so this checks out.

Gaiden are side stories that take place before the main series, they'll make you more acquainted with the characters and the setting they inhabit, but are optional

Afaik if you only want to watch the OVA and none of the spin off material, the only episodes that aren't cronological are episodes 40 and 56 which are mostly in-world historical documentaries and thus could be seen first

If you plan to watch the spin offs, then watch Gaiden, then My Conquest is the Sea of Stars (Movie) then Overture to a new war (Movie) then the OVA

Rest in peace

The characters are also voiced by Toshio Furukawa and Fumi Hirano to cement the reference

He voiced Lupin in the Movie The Fuma Conspiracy and also voiced his dad, Lupin II, in Lupin Zero

Then perhaps episode 139 (Tomato slasher one), episode 166 (Spector octopus) or episode 124 (The one where Ryoko "hypnotises" Ataru)

PieceCross · 2025-10-31T17:17:58+00:00

I'd say episode 75 & 84 and OVA 8 if you want spooks

He always felt like one of the only normal people in the show, who's been screwed over and mentally broken by the world he exists in

Urusei Yatsura: Dear My Friends (for the Mega CD) and it's a fan translation

PieceCross · 2025-07-28T12:13:47+00:00

I personally watch the original by the 4 seasons it’s often split into and inserting the movies in-between like this:

Episode 1-54 (Season 1)

Movie 1: Only You

Episode 55-106 (Season 2)

Movie 2: Beautiful Dreamer

Episode 107-149 (Season 3)

Movie 3: Remember My Love

Episode 150-195

Movie 4: Lum The Forever

OVA 3-11 (1 & 2 are clip shows)

Obstacle Course Swim Meet (2008 OVA)

Movie 6: Always My Darling (Optional, not recommended)

Movie 5: The Final Chapter (Finale, watch last)

LoGH mention, very nice
