Have you checked out my show "Cartoon Crunch Time" on @oftv yet? I've been having so much fun with it, and can't wait to see where it goes π¬ What topic would you like to see featured on CCT? β¨οΈ
Are we still doing Woman Crush Wednesdays? Because today it's all about this classic anime protagonist Lum the Invader Girl! π½β¨οΈπΈ
Lum is a central character in the Japanese manga and anime series "Urusei Yatsura," created by Rumiko Takahashi. She is an alien from the planet Oniboshi, recognizable by her tiger-striped bikini and horns, with the ability to fly and emit powerful electric shocks. Lum mistakenly believes that Ataru Moroboshi, a lecherous and unlucky high school student, has proposed marriage to her after he accidentally grabs her horns instead of the tag in a game of tag that decides Earthβs fate. Lum is deeply in love with Ataru and refers to him as "Darling," but often becomes jealous and zaps him with electricity when he flirts with other girls. Her character is a blend of traditional feminine attributes and assertive, sometimes aggressive, traits which made her an iconic and beloved figure in the world of manga and anime. Lum's presence brings chaos, comedy, and a touch of romance to the series, making it a classic in the genre.

Did you know?: Storyboards are crucial in animation, but one lesser-known aspect is the use of "hidden gags" or "Easter eggs" within them. Animators sometimes hide inside jokes, references to other films or TV shows, or even messages to colleagues within the storyboard frames, adding an extra layer of fun for those paying close attention.
Ever noticed an Easter egg in a film or show?
