The official website of the new television anime adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi's Urusei Yatsura (Those Obnoxious Aliens) manga revealed on Thursday a pair of additional cast and a second teaser promotional video. The anime is scheduled to premiere on Fuji TV's noitaminA block in four cours in 2022.


Hideya Takahashi (JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 5: Ougon no Kaze) and Yasuhiro Kimura (2.43: Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu) are helming the new anime at David Production. Yuuko Kakihara (Chihayafuru 2) is handling the series composition and Naoyuki Asano (Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!) is designing the characters.

Takahashi serialized the sci-fi romantic comedy manga in Weekly Shounen Sunday from 1978 to 1987 and compiled into 35 volumes. Shogakukan later reprinted the series in 15 wide-ban volumes in 1989–1990, 18 bunkoban volumes in 1998–1999, and 35 shinsoban volumes in 2006–2008.

Studio Pierrot and Studio Deen co-produced a television anime that aired in 195 episodes from October 1981 to March 1986. The manga also inspired four side story movies between 1983 and 1986, followed by two sequel movies in 1988 and 1991. An 11-episode original video anime ran from 1985 to 1991.
