Urusei Yatsura (Lum) – Shutaro Giant Head Yelling with Ten and Ataru – Original Production Anime Cel + Douga (Studio Deen, 1981–1986)

This dynamic original production cel features a classic over-the-top moment from Urusei Yatsura, with Shutaro Mendo’s exaggerated giant head yelling dramatically, accompanied by Ten and a bewildered Ataru Moroboshi in the same cut — a perfect example of the show’s wild, visual humor and surreal slapstick.

Included is the matching douga (pencil sketch) that showcases the expressive draftsmanship behind the cel. The cel is likely from one of the many episodes where Mendo's vanity and rage reach operatic levels, often clashing with Ataru’s nonsense and Lum’s electric responses.

Animated by Studio Deen and directed during much of its run by Mamoru Oshii, Urusei Yatsura (based on Rumiko Takahashi’s beloved manga) was a pioneering blend of absurd comedy and stylized expression that deeply influenced the anime comedy genre.

A wonderfully chaotic piece — ideal for collectors of vintage anime or fans of expressive 1980s animation.
