I adore her, but not her show. So many side characters I don't give a shit about taking up all that airtime. If only someone would pull an "Oops! All berries" on this show and give me all the good relationship/Lum scenes with any necessary context with nothing else.

Takahashi always resorted to "throw in more characters" whenever she needed to stretch out a series. In ''Maison Ikkoku" the anime even cuts one of them out entirely (Nikaido) because he's entirely superfluous.

Lum might have been many's first fap in the 80s, but nobody actually liked her. She is persecuting a man who values free fucks over marriage, truly hero of the 20th century.

It's a take on your average married life. No matter how shitty your life is, or how many girls you may look at, you always come back home to your Lum. She may electrocute you for looking at other women, but she will always stay by your side. It's a beautiful relationship.

Additional characters have always been the bane of newly wed anime. For example, whenever Shiro or the next door neighbor shows up in Senko-san.

The impression I got when I watched some of this (I managed two dozen episodes and a movie before I dropped it) was that it's not a beautiful relationship at all. I found it abusive and uncomfortable to watch. The MC is the most obnoxious character I know. He treats her like shit and she keeps coming back to him like a puppy. Rinse and repeat for each episode.

Electrocution implies death. To be electrocuted is to die via electricity. There are more appropriate words.
End misuse of the word electrocution.
No.934679

Like what? "Shock"? "Zap"? There is no non-euphemistic word for receiving an electric shock, and there isn't even a verb for it at all. There's no reason for "electrocute" to be that specific a verb when there's no more general purpose verb, when I the two other languages that I know both have a way of saying it without implying death.
More like end English's garbage vocabulary.

I'd suggest adopting kanden (感電) as a loan-word, but "kandenning" or "getting kandenned" just sound wrong.

Are you sure you're even referring to tue right word!? You likely are thinking of electrified, which is a proper word. Energized, zapped, fried, etc. are all more proper words than electrocution to describe the act of experiencing electricae without the meaning of death as is the meaning of being electrocuted.

Also the proper medical term would be "electric shock/electrically shocked" although I prefer "Arc'd" or "electricae fibrillated" as other word choices.

That's why the episodes with little to no Ataru, Lum showing her golden personality and whore outfit, and the other characters having more screen time are the best.

Electrified means something with electricity running through it, as a feature. Energized can have a positive connotation and doesn't even apply to humans and it could be misinterpreted if it was. Zapped and fried are both informal and euphemistic.

You're asking people to use a word only for one specific circumstance while it has multiple meanings that have been around a lot longer than either of us. You are stupid.

It could have been made by an androgynous dormouse for all I care, I still thought it was an abusive and one sided relationship.

The only meanings I could find are:
1. to kill or severely injure by electric shock
2. to execute (a criminal) by electricity
The word electrocute is just a portmanteau of electricity + execute.

When literally all of Takahashi's editors and the entire...70s, 80s, whichever it was manga fandom banded together and said "no, we do NOT care about your generic tsundere school girl designated love interest, we want LUM to be the main female protagonist!", you know Takahashi hit something golden with Lum Invader.
