Urusei Yatsura 2022 ED References
They are short but they exist
The first part of the ending sequence reminds me of a panchinko game.
A UY pachinko exists but uses a remake of the original op 1.
The ending pays homage to UY OP 2—dancing star with the galaxy in the background
And UY ed 1 with the stars line/constellation
A quick reference to Lum various clothes styles trough out the original series and artwork / artbooks
Just a reminder that the first volume of SHWD by sono.N is now available to purchase in digital English format from Seven Seas Entertainment! The print version of the volume has been delayed until October 4th 2022.
I’ve gushed about this manga on here before, but I’m quadruple dipping on this volume because it really deserves support. I hope SHWD can find a dedicated audience in English because it’s a unique slow-burn office romance manga (what with the horrific monsters and all the trauma and all).

uNiQuE ART HuNT wEEk ( XIX ) : Yayoi Kusama – Pumpkins
~
“The pumpkin is one of Yayoi Kusama’s most well-known motifs, and the artist employs the gourd as both an allegory and a form of self-portraiture—in paintings, drawing, sculptures and installations. She is drawn to pumpkins as a muse because of their “charming and winsome form, their generous unpretentiousness and solid spiritual base.
Known in Japan as Kabocha, Pumpkins are positive images to Kusama because they represent a cheerful piece of her troubled childhood in Matsumoto. As a young girl, Kusama spent hours drawing pumpkins. To her, pumpkins are representative of stability, comfort, and modesty. According to Kusama, she prefers to use pumpkins because not only are they attractive in both color and form, but they are also tender to the touch. Therefore, the inclusion of pumpkins in her artwork can be said to be due to the childhood memories that the vegetable triggers.”
