The official website for the new television anime of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura manga announced on Thursday that Saori Hayami will play Oyuki, queen of Neptune and Lum’s childhood friend.
The manga inspired a television anime series that ran from 1981 to 1986, various anime films, and an original video anime (OVA) series.
AnimEigo released most of the previous anime on home video except for the Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer film which Central Park Media released.
Viz Media previously released part of the series in English under the titles Lum and The Return of Lum in the 1990s.
