Lum and Ten look at upcoming episodes.
- The Spring Blossom Picnic Part 1 & Part 2 (4/14) [1]
Today is Ataru's class picnic. Just as he is thinking about reaffirming his love with Shinobu in a place where Lum isn't around for the first time in a while, Lum and Ten-chan appear from the rocks of the valley with baskets in their hands. They immediately take Ataru's arm and ask him to eat their lunch with them.
- Beware the Earmuffs! (4/21)
At the ski resort, Ataru bargains down the price of 150 yen each for two ear muffles from a strange muffle shop to 200 yen each, but when he and Ten try them on...it's strange.
- Fly, Imo-Chan! (4/28)
- Ten-chan's Love (5/5)
I Want to Know.
Q. I'm completely fascinated by Kazuko Sugiyama, who plays Ten-chan. Please tell me anything about Sugiyama. Ayumi Yokoyama (14 years old), Himeji, Hyogo
A. First of all, about the anime series she has appeared in (obviously, there are too many to introduce them all, so we'll just mention her representative works), older works include the role of Ranmaru in
Haikara-San: Here Comes Miss Modern, the duck Gina in
The Adventures of Pinocchio, and the role of Heidi in
Heidi, Girl of the Alps. More recently, she has played the role of Makoto in
Makoto-chan (theatrical version), and the role of Ashigawa-sensei in
Ganbare Genki.
[2] She is from Aichi Prefecture. She is 153 cm tall. Her birthday is April 9th. She is affectionately known as "Kako" and is also known for her love of animals. (Aoni Pro)
Footnotes
- [1] After months of using a certain episode number count that divided a single episode into two separate ones, the production staff seems to have stopped numbering the episodes altogether, which will lead to the more unified episode listings that counted two fifteen minute episodes as a single episode.
- [2] Haikara-San: Here Comes Miss Modern (はいからさんが通る/Haikara-san ga Tooru) is a 42 episode anime based on the manga by Waki Yamato. The series ran from June 1978 to March 1979.
