Urusei Yatsura

An alien race called the Oni have invaded the Earth. Instead of conquering by force, the Oni give the humans a chance by taking part in a competition. The goal of this competition is for the human player to grab the horns on the head of the chosen Oni within the span of a single week. The lottery selected player is Ataru Moroboshi, an academically challenged student who spends more time chasing girls than studying. The selected Oni player is Lum, the daughter of the commander of the alien invaders. Having no say in the matter, Ataru enters the competition but has a change of heart when he sees the beautiful Lum. No matter what he tries, Ataru is unable to catch her and the final day draws near. With the cheap move of stealing her bikini top, Lum is distracted enough to have her horns grabbed. Ataru has saved the Earth from destruction, and to his surprise, has accidentally proposed marriage to Lum. There's just one problem - Ataru already has a girlfriend.
