Where to Watch Urusei Yatsura in New Zealand

Urusei Yatsura makes every episode count, and right now it's all streaming on Hidive Amazon Channel and beyond. A strong pick for any comedy fan.

Originally commissioned by Fuji TV, Urusei Yatsura quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. Tokyo, Tomobiki Town. Lum, the gorgeous princess of the invading alien race of Oni is smitten with high school student Ataru Moroboshi. A dedicated womanizer, Ataru is unfazed by Lum’s fierce electric shock attacks and continues his daily hunt for pretty girls. It aired in 2022–2024.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh rather than just smile politely, Urusei Yatsura is a strong candidate — fans of Doctor Who will recognise the sensibility immediately. It works alone or with company.
