Unless he just based it on the music chosen for the theme song.<br /><br />Again, nice find.ADChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13887460454393961008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825377624121060306.post-56299033452695995532012-02-02T20:54:27.656-04:002012-02-02T20:54:27.656-04:00Just checked Anipages...

Koji Nanke was the name of the animator who did all those openings for Urusei Yatsura, as well as Maison Ikkoku and Ranma 1/2.Aaron Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389783349170248351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825377624121060306.post-52094833875181867132012-02-02T16:09:27.762-04:002012-02-02T16:09:27.762-04:00Yeah, the cheesy openings are very fun.

My favourites are "Dancing Star" for the goofy dancing and "Pajama Jama Da" for the cool abstract graphics.<br /><br />The animation in the openings is more cartoony than the series itself-- I think I remember reading that the UY intros were all done by an independent animator, but I forget who it was and where I read it.Aaron Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389783349170248351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825377624121060306.post-1181452115560036702012-02-02T11:33:25.580-04:002012-02-02T11:33:25.580-04:00Rumiko Takihashi certainly debuted with a wonderfu...Rumiko Takihashi certainly debuted with a wonderful series. One thing I have taken note with any of the animes from her (pre-Inuyasha) is that the openings remain far too cheesy to turn away from. Filled with lots of fun and get you all ready for any comedic antics you are about to get into.<br /><br />Plus the use of running gags makes for great fun.<br /><br />I certainly haven't done much in terms of watching Urusei Yatsura, I found reading the manga a faster means of enjoying the series. However I will take a look at episode 83 in particular.<br /><br />Also, I will have to take a look at that podcast as well.<br /><br />Good post, thank you for taking the time to share.<br /><br />ADCADChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13887460454393961008noreply@blogger.com
