Created for internal studio use under the direction of Studio Pierrot / Studio Deen during the original broadcast production period of Urusei Yatsura between 1981 and 1986. A Certificate of Authenticity will be included with your purchase. This original animation cel features Lum, the iconic alien heroine of Urusei Yatsura, depicted with her signature expressive charm against a beautifully hand-painted background. Production materials from this era are especially sought after by collectors due to the series’ cultural impact and its classic hand-painted cel animation style.
