An early work by [[Rumiko Takahashi]], ''Urusei Yatsura'' is often considered the original [[Magical Girlfriend]] parody, enough that [[Unbuilt Trope|the bumbling well-meaning Magical Girlfriend has become an archetype in its own right]].

An early work by [[Rumiko Takahashi]], ''Urusei Yatsura'' is often considered the original [[Magical Girlfriend]] parody, enough that [[Unbuilt Trope|the bumbling well-meaning Magical Girlfriend has become an archetype in its own right]]. The show's poster girl, a cutesy alien named Lum who habitually wears a tiger-striped bikini, is easily one of the most recognizable anime characters in history. |

The show centers around Ataru Moroboshi, an [[Ordinary High School Student]] who happens to be both the unluckiest and most perverted man in the world, possibly the entire universe. He is chosen by lot to challenge a band of alien invaders in a game of tag to decide the fate of the Earth. His opponent: the lovely [[Everything's Better with Princesses|Princess Lum]], daughter of the invaders' leader, Mister Invader. After several false starts, it takes a promise of marriage by his long-suffering girlfriend and [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|childhood companion]] Shinobu to bolster him to victory. Unfortunately, after his triumphant declaration of "Now I can get married!", Lum thinks Ataru wants to marry ''her'', falls ''instantly'' in love with him... and the rest is history. Lum moves in with her "Darling" Ataru, and before long, the district of Tomobiki has become a hotbed for intergalactic weirdness involving Lum's friends and relatives, with Ataru stuck in the middle. |
