An advertisement teaser to the new Urusei Yatsura anime premiered on the show’s official website today, offering a glimpse of David Production’s upcoming take on the iconic sci-fi rom-com series set to air this October.

Ataru is inadvertently drawn into a triangle with Shinobu, his girlfriend, and Lum, the fiery, hot-tempered Lum. Lum misinterprets Ataru’s cries for happiness as an offer to marry him.
