All a man wants is to taste his sukiyaki until his alien girlfriend in full battle regalia drags him across dimensions for a big battle. Yeah, that just about sums up this show
.
Shizuka Ishigami as Benten! Yet another hot alien space babe who barely wears much in the way of clothing! She's a little more course and rough in comparison to Lum, but they're apparently best friends, not that it stops Ataru from putting the moves on her or Benten taking advantage of it because she wants to rile Lum up a bit. What terrific friendship
.
Despite how they treated him in the first episode, it's cool that his parents have a seventh sense for when their son is in trouble (instead of, y'know, just wishing he wasn't born)...even if that doesn't prevent them from eating sukiyaki without him, even his portion. Even Cherry gets in on it because all he really cares about is the sukiyaki! All the while Ataru is in a purgatory of his own making
.
It's nice to see Shinobu still cares about Ataru even if she doesn't really like him that way anymore...not that it stops Lum from still thinking of her as Miss Third Wheel. I guess she'll never live that one down
.
I love Lum's snow outfit! Those tight pants and top showing off her cleavage looked amazing on her
.
As if this show didn't have enough star-power we've got Saori Hayami as Oyuki, a Yuki-Onna alien who is yet another hot babe who is friends with Lum...but don't let her pleasant and demure manner fool you, she wants to get into Ataru's pants as much as Lum does. And if her sensual voice and icy looks aren't enough of a turn-on, her stripping her kimono off to show off her skimpy ice leotard might do the trick
!
Don't you just hate it when an alien yeti interrupts you before you can seal the deal with his mistress? And then it becomes King Kong outside Ataru's house
.
Ah, yes. Of course Mendo stayed behind to commit to the manual labor just to continue to receive praise and flirting from the other girls on Neptune
.
Ataru is retiring...from school!? Poor Kenta Miyake sensei! No, wait...he's retiring from his status as the Main Character!? I guess it's a free for all now, everybody can be the MC! Of course, really, Ataru just wants out of being class president (which the cast honestly forgot about), but Lum may as well be the main character anyways
