Ataru!!!!🥲

Once again...I feel like Oshii's influence bled into the Yamazaki era!

Also...given the fact that Maison Ikkoku would follow UY in its TV slot I feel like this episode felt like the backdoor pilot on how the animators can capture a positive melancholy atmosphere.

Y'know...
Sometimes you wonder if Ataru and Mendou were separated at birth.

Also I want to show how the manga did this to drive point home how beautiful this moment is!

The irony of this episode is in a lot of places in America it was SCORCHING hot today and I was wearing a sweater so POINTS to Ataru for TRYING to put up a front on this.

See...
THIS is why I put Lum and Ataru over Ranma and Akane. Lum UNDERSTANDS Ataru despite the fact that she will ride or die on being his wife too!

Also KUDOS to the anime for using the black and white opening for the past and the flying of the bird to transition back to color to mark present day.
