Romance · Comedy · Fantasy · Slice of Life

This 2022 revival sends alien folklore crashing into school life through an unruly tag match and a volatile romantic misunderstanding.

Synopsis
The Anime Lad

The Oni arrive from space and choose student Ataru to represent Earth in a game of tag. His opponent is Lum, their airborne princess. The contest carries planetary stakes, while Ataru brings his usual appetite for bad decisions. Alien conflict soon becomes tangled with his romantic life and thoroughly disrupts anything resembling domestic calm.

Super Eyepatch Fox

Aliens challenge Earth through a game of tag. Chronically unlucky Ataru must catch Oni princess Lum. The contest mixes planetary danger with his shameless behavior. Lum's interest carries the conflict beyond the field and into his daily life, where romance becomes another source of supernatural disruption.

Gigguku

Earth faces an alien invasion and somehow its fate rests on Ataru playing tag with Lum, a flying Oni princess. That setup already has incredible comic energy. Then alien attention collides with Ataru's disastrous approach to romance. School life and supernatural chaos occupy the same loud space, with nobody interested in restraint!

Father's Basement

Ataru's behavior is the immediate warning label. He approaches both danger and romance with the confidence of someone who has never examined a consequence. Making him Earth's representative sharpens the joke. Lum and the Oni bring supernatural force to a conflict already undermined by its supposed human champion.

When an alien race known as the Oni invade Earth, the chronically unlucky and unapologetically lecherous Ataru Moroboshi is selected as humanity’s representative in a duel for the fate of the planet! His opponent is Lum, the Oni’s very pretty princess, and it’s only thanks to Ataru’s unscrupulous behavior that he’s able to scrape out a win in a treacherous game of tag against her.

What defines it

A vibrant modern remake of Rumiko Takahashi's classic sci-fi romcom. Timeless gag comedy.
