Do the japanese have good taste in Urusei Yatsura episodes?

>>156248452
Why is this something much more popular than Ikkoku and Ranma? I can never get passed episode 10 or so. Just comes across as homewrecking

>>156248574
For nips it's more popular. Remember Ranma 1/2 bombed in Japan compared to Takashi's other words (but was backed up by the international success). And Maison Ikkoku was too heavy for nips because it was a Seinen.

>>156248574
Your typical otaku has worse taste than any western weeb.

>>156248574
>Just comes across as homewrecking

Shinobu fag detected.

>>156249106
Fuck I'm not having this argument again but yeah I'm still mad.

>>156248574
It's really only more popular in Japan and I'm pretty sure Ranma did better merchandising wise anyway. Although Urusei Yatsura was overall bigger.

Either way, it's not apparent from the early episodes, but it's basically the only Rumiko Takahashi anime where the anime team also adds a lot of great content.

You must be gay if you can't figure out why UY was far more popular.

I mean come on think about it.

Shinobu-Fox episodes were absolute shit.
Probably one of the hardest episodes to sit through.

How do you feel about this?

>>156248574

You'll need to get further than that to see what the fuss is all about, the show doesn't hit its stride until at least half way. It's still an enjoyable romp but there's a definite point where continuity starts existing, the feels become real and it starts feeling like other Rumiko shows. It does have a slow and repetitive start though.

>>156249149
Honestly m8, there's no need to be mad when Shinobu voluntarily removes herself from the Atarubowl after Mendou shows up. Of course, you'd probably know this if you had bothered to watch those episodes.

>>156248574
both of those aren't that good
UY and Rinne are fun manga
UY is the peak of rumiko anime

Classic gag dub, always makes me smile. Obviously it was just a bunch of drunk weeb comedians 'avin a giggle but I wish they'd went all the way, us Brits love dumb shit like Takeshi's Castle so it could've done very well over here. Wish the BBC would at least air it again as it pains me to watch a .rm rip from 2000.

>>156249699
At least one of them had the decency to have Lum in a Vampirella costume.

Ataru's Mothra costume was pretty cute too.

It gets a lot better after the half length episodes end. I really don't like them. Then the quality rapidly increases until the very end.

>>156250005

Ranma isn't that good, Ikkoku absolutely is. Seinen isn't for everyone but it's one of the absolute best in the genre, once you get over how grounded in reality it is compared to other Takahashi stuff.

MI≥UY>Ranma>Mermaid Saga>One Pound Gospel>Inuyasha
Don't want to judge Rinne since I've only watched the anime but with all I've seen so far it's shaping up better than Ranma.

>>156250608
>Inuyasha
I keep forgetting she made this. Is it as garbage as I think it is? I always thought the heroine was cute

>>156250736
Everyone but InuYasha had good background storyline.

>>156250736
Not garbage, but I think it's widely regarded as her weakest.

>>156250608
The manga is aiight, but Rumiko Takahashi's art has gotten significantly worse over the years. The anime thankfully tightens up the character designs so that they have less wide, angular faces.

Choose one.

>>156250736
So like I was OBSESSED with this anime in middle school (My peak weeb days) and honestly what got me out of it was how repetitive it is. The manga is better imo because there's SLIGHTLY less filler but that's what 90% of it is. Filler. Fucking. Filler.

Kagome and Inuyasha themselves are both garbage characters but the other characters are great and eventually have some good development with one another.

But overall it is the shit-tier of her series, it's just one of the most recent ones so it's one everyone has heard of.

Ranma 1/2 is my favourite personally. Unlike Inuyasha the filler is still fun.

Can we all agree that this would have been about 10 times better without Cherry? Every time I see him I'm tempted to skip the episode.

>>156251097
Ryuunosuke, she's almost the perfect tomboy. Ranma being the best tomboy.

>>156248574
It takes a while to get going. The earlier episodes feel more like a one-shot adaption and has a much different feel and purpose to it.

You should just watch the earlier episodes that introduce or establish new characters and then skip to maybe episode 30+

>>156250736
I thought Inuyasha must be garbage because I used to like the dub when I was a baby weeb but honestly watching it again it wasn't bad, especially in the earlier episodes.

Yeah the dub is garbage overall but the beginning isn't terrible.

I'm sure if someone could make a condensed list for inuyasha (removing all of the filler because there's soo much of it that doesn't even build characters or anything) it's still an okay anime at heart.

I've yet to see the end though because i just don't care anymore. she dragged that shit out (didn't th anime end before the manga because she was taking too fucking long?)


My other problem is her characters all look the same and she's stuck in the 80s.

Man, this movie was so good UNTIL the reveal midways I felt if it would've been better if barely anything got revealed and we just watched the interactions of characters trying to figure things out.
Same with Lum the Forever but that one stayed nice and mysterious until the end.

Why is this a meme now?

Maison Ikkoku had a lot of references.

>>156249699
Yeah, the anime team tried to lengthen the stories while keeping that same weird slow paced feeling of his chapter, but they should just have added standard comedy to them focused on the main cast. They were an interesting experiment from Rumiko, but it just didn't work.

It's completely episodic if that's what you mean.
It isn't like a mecha show where there's a big threat to defeat every episode, but the humor works really well. It's more like Patlabor I guess.

>>156266630
Yeah that's what I meant.
Do they get together at some point (Aside from the very end)?

UY is worth watching for the one episode out of nowhere where the mother goes on a surreal dreamlike journey through her past.

>>156266671
You don't watch UY to find out if they fug, it's a foregone conclusion that they do.
It's fantastic for the comedy. There's never an overarching plot, so it never feels like it's wasting your time with filler or anything. Don't try and rush through it all. I watched the whole thing over the course of three years and loved it.

>>156266798
That episode can be watched without any knowledge of previous episodes.

it's much more jarring when you are watching a bunch of regular episode with ataru trying to see some bitty, then suddenly this deep episode from nowhere, then back to regularly scheduled programming.

No, that was an early time travel story before it really dawned on Rumiko that none of the readers actually liked Shinobu.
