LUM HAS INVADED!

Sully, Austin, Tobias, and Bill take a journey into the wild and crazy world of Urusei Yatsura with arguably it's most famous and critically acclaimed entry, the Mamoru Oshii directed film Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer!

So what's this Urusei Yatsura thing all about? Are you telling me the Angel's Egg and Ghost in the Shell guy can do comedy too? What is The Curse of Lum? Did Groundhog Day rip this movie off? All answers and more to be found here!

Are you a fan of Urusei Yatsura? What do you think of this film? How does it stack among Oshii's other films for you? How about UY compared to Rumiko Takahashi's other works? Let us know your thoughts in comments or on Twitter! (@TI_Anime)

#63 - Super KonMari-o Bros. 2 - A Review of Tidying Up with Marie Kondo

Back in Episode 44, Sully, Bill, and Austin discussed the Konmari method of tidying up. Since then, Marie Kondo has become an online sensation with her recent Netflix series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo that released in January. In this episode, we take a look at her new show and reevaluate our thoughts on her method and how to apply it to anime/nerd fandom. We also answer twitter questions, both related and unrelated!

Note: This episode was recorded BEFORE Kingdom Hearts III was released so Austin gushes a bit about his anticipation for it in the catch up segment. Look out for the next episode to get his brief thoughts on the game, and look forward to a special bonus episode dedicated completely to Kingdom Hearts III sometime in the near future.

The theme music this week is the opening song from Cheers. Listen and you'll know why.

Have you seen Tidying Up with Marie Kondo yet? Are you a fan of her method? Not a fan? Tell us about your tidying adventures over on twitter www.twitter.com/TI_Anime or in our Facebook community, www.facebook.com/groups/thirdimpactanimecommunity
