The first theatrical film from Rumiko Takahashi's seminal Urusei Yatsura series, Urusei Yatsura Movie 1: Only You, is now streaming on Crunchyroll with both English dub and subtitle options. The story kicks off when Lum, the alien princess and Ataru's devoted fiancée, discovers he's seemingly set to marry another alien princess named Elle, whom he played a childhood game with.
Produced by Studio Pierrot, this standalone movie plunges viewers into the franchise's signature blend of slapstick comedy and outlandish sci-fi. Ataru's accidental engagement to Elle ignites Lum's formidable jealousy, propelling the narrative into a chaotic space adventure filled with aliens and absurd situations. The film holds a 7.09 rating on MyAnimeList.
Only You delivers a self-contained narrative that encapsulates the wild, romantic energy of the Urusei Yatsura universe. While its MAL score indicates a more moderate reception compared to the original series, it serves as a solid, albeit brief, showcase of the franchise's enduring appeal.
