Another week is upon us, which means another weekly thread. For those of you out there that prescribe to the three episode rule of thumb for shows, it is crunch time for shows to prove their worth. As always, please use this thread however you like, whether that be questions, comments, suggestions, etc. Some examples might be:

Who did it better, Frieren's First Class Mage Exam or Harry Potter's Tri-Wizard Tournament?
Is The Dangers in My Heart a cautionary tale about high cholesterol?
In Blue Exorcist, why doesn't somebody cheer him up?

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

I feel the same about the Urusei Yatsura remake.

I loved the show back then, but we were different people and we watched things differently back then too:

15-25 teens and young adults, huddled around glowing CRT TVs in dark rooms, watching whichever precious grainy 4th gen unsubtitled VHS shows that we could get our hands on, pooling our collective consciousness to divine anything entertaining from our limited Japanese and the frantic visuals, sharing our infectious enthusiasm.

Now everything's instantly available online with decent subtitles, and we're alone in our homes, with whatever community we can muster online.

Yeah, the internet has completely changed and enabled anime to become what it is today (in the US anyway, which is where my experience is). I wrote last week about some of the challenges I faced in the past to procure/watch anime growing up. The difference is pretty remarkable.
