About Urusei Yatsura

In the first season of Urusei Yatsura, Ataru Moroboshi, a high school student with a reputation for lewd conduct and bad luck, tells his story. One day, Lum, a stunning alien princess from the planet Oniboshi, leads an alien invasion of Earth. After Ataru unintentionally asks Lum to marry him, Lum realizes she loves him and decides to stay on Earth to be with him.

Ataru's attempts to get away from Lum's charms and get back to his regular life are constantly thwarted throughout the season by her alien powers as well as the antics of his eccentric friends and family. The Oni King, Lum's father, is still sending robots and aliens to Earth in an effort to regain both his daughter and the planet.

Ataru also faces competition for Lum's affections from her fiancé, Rei, a powerful Oni warrior. As Ataru and his friends attempt to defend Earth against the Oni invasion, the season includes funny events and scenarios in addition to moments of action and adventure.
