Description:
Urusei Yatsura: It's Japanese for "Stupendously Silly!"

It all started in 1981 when the Aliens invaded. Fortunately for Earth, they were very polite invaders and gave us a chance to keep our planet. If a champion, selected at random, could defeat their beautiful princess, Lum, in their national sport, Tag, all would be saved.

Unfortunately for Earth, the lucky champion turned out to be Ataru Moroboshi, a lecherous and luckless lad from Tomobiki, near Tokyo.

Ataru took one look at Lum and took on the challenge. Alas, things started to look very bed for Earth when he discovered Lum could fly! When all seemed lost, Ataru's semi-girlfriend, Shinobu, promised to marry him is he won. Spurred on to new lows of sneakiness by the prospect of finally getting lucky, Ataru pulled it off (literally).

Alas, his lack of luck lasted. Lum misinterpreted his victory cry as a proposal of marriage, promptly accepted and moved into his closet.

And when Lum's friends and relatives started dropping by, things began to get REALLY weird!

Thus the stage was set for (at last count) almost 200 TV episodes, a dozen Original Video Animations and 6 Theatrical Films, all concentrated doses of the peculiar insanity that is "Urusei Yatsura" - "Those Obnoxious Aliens."

In the first Urusei Yatsura Movie, "Only You,: Ataru found himself a reluctant bridegroom trapped between two warring Alien Princesses.

In the second Urusei Yatsura Movie, "Beautiful Dreamer," he found himself trapped in one of Lum's dreams.

Those were just warmups. This time, Ataru finds himself... ...Herbivorous???

It seems that when Lum was born, a postal screwup resulted in a witchy friend of the family not getting an invitation to the celebration. The witch put a curse on Lum—that she would never be happy with her True Love.

In the present, a new Amusement Park has been built in Tomobiki, and opening day finds the whole gang sampling its pleasures. At a magic show, however, Ataru gets turned into a large pin hippopotamus—FOR REAL!

When Lum attempts to tack down the magician that transformed her Darling, things start to get very weird, very fast!
