To be honest, those are my two favorite series of hers. But that doesn't mean I don't love her other works!

>>1057
Taking into account number of volumes (Maison Ikkoku has 15 while Ranma 1/2 has 38), Maison Ikkoku actually sold better. Though, not that it really matters. I do love Ranma 1/2, don't get me wrong.

>>1101
A few to get started haphazardly picked from my folder

>>1087
Gosho Aoyama mentioned here is the creator of Case Closed/Detective Conan among other series. He has obviously helped Shonen Sunday tremendously over the years.

>>1088
End! Lot of details to share here. I love this little thing because while a lot of the info can be found in interviews with Rumiko, this is a fun way to learn it all in one place. There's also just a lot of fun insights here.

As mentioned before, I'll be back Saturday with Volume 2 of Rin-ne.

Here's the relevant portion of the interview with the editor:

"Inuyasha was rather serious and hard-hitting, so Takahashi-sensei said, "The next one will be a comedy that can be read casually." As a big fan of Ranma 1/2 I was overjoyed to meet with her to discuss the new serial.

However, although the setting and the stage were decided upon, the image of the main character, which is the basis of Takahashi-sensei's works, seemed to be difficult for her to grasp, and then, two weeks before the start of the serialization, I suggested, "How about the main character living in a school?" "Why?" she asked, "Because he is poor!" I replied.

Suddenly, the teacher turned serious. "Poor… Poor? I see… that could be interesting." "Does being poor mean that you have been wearing the same jersey all your life?" And then, in no time at all, Rinne Rokudo was born. I remember I was so thrilled because I felt like I was witnessing the moment a character came down to Takahashi-sensei.

Sensei loves TV and always checked out the comedy programs. Her favorite comedian changed every year, and in a good way, she wasn't picky, and I think she always caught the mood of the times when it came to "what makes people laugh." The low tension interaction between Rinne and Sakura was totally novel, completely different from the high tension gag character Tatewaki Kuno, who I liked the most in Ranma.

The page I chose is from the first chapter, where the identity of the main character is revealed. Immediately after this page, Sakura has a puzzled expression on her face, "What's going on…?" The monologue is "My name is ●●! And my occupation is ●●!" and give some flavor to them. The dialogue between the two is classic…! This is my favorite scene that made me realize once again that Rumiko Takahashi is a genius.

Takahashi: Even after you were no longer assigned to this project, I was very grateful for your occasional comments. I'm very happy that it has been adapted into an anime."

Here's the cover of Shonen Sunday where this chapter debuted.

>>1092
tasty

fuck context, binch dead


why does it show that i uploaded two files

>>851
Anti-lum posts.

>>858
All newbies need to learn the TRUTH of how Lum LIED to Ran's mom about wetting the bed, causing her permanent trauma.

>>859
Ran should've explained herself to her mom more clearly. She has nobody to blame but herself.

>>859
The best part about this was that much later in the episode with the rumor flowers, she lies about it again and mind break’s mendo for the rest of the episode

>>859
Trvkenuke. Lum must be zapped into a million tiny atoms. We're a Ran town.

OP has a better theory than me. They said he has unlucky features and born on Friday 13th so I ran with that. So I guess the message of the story isn't free pussy for those who don't bitch?

>>734
Women control the means of reproduction. They are bourgeois.

>>728
it means i love my wife ran-chan… obviously

>>751
The result of bad karma for a past life. He probably barely escaped reincarnation as a loli sex slave.

>>728
>what did we ever learn from Urusei Yatsura?
That you can't always get what you want, but life would be pretty fucking boring if you did.

>>833
Late response but it was pretty fine regardless. Not really sure if I want to see the 3rd film since I read the synopsis, not really my type but I’ll check out the 4th. Also I’ve enjoyed this series so much that I even went as far as buying the blu rays of the entire television series(and OVA set), planning to do the same with the 5th movie at some point

>>833
Oshii directed angel's egg and ghost in the shell, both widely known films that are considered jewels in the sci-fi anime genre rather than anything Takahashi tried with Urusei despite her claiming to be a fan of scifi first.

>>837
I'll be honest. I've only ever seen his early work. He might've improved his work after UY. Rumiko's work just was never good to begin with, and trying to fix it the way he did only made it pretentious.

>>835
Finally finished the television series, really fun, enough for me to buy most of the series, also saw the fourth movie and 2008 rumic world special that adapted the swim obstacle course. As for episodes that really got me laughing hard the most they were the love catch ball episode, the one where the school ate intoxicated mushrooms, the the anger of oyuki, the second appearance of the spice trio, the one where the flowers spread rumors, and some otherwise. Still have the ova’s and three remaining movies left to cover with the finale being saved for last

>>845
Meant some others

based

>>598
Btw, this is an official Kurama thread. Post any and all Kurama kino.

>>597
All you had to do was get into bed

>>597
i actually liked her more than lum

>>573
Saw that in the Maison Ikkoku storytime thread on /a/, nice OC. I wish i knew more about editing images otherwise I'd contribute.

Oh and happy easter everyone!

Thanks to all three of (you) who actually entered.
First place goes to >>563 for having a very nice 90s style gif, suitable for geocities or tucked away in some university subdomain.
Second place goes to >>568 for having a very cool setup and for actually saying "ramu".
Third place goes to >>570 for being very based. Shinobros rise up.
These will all be preserved on a soon to be added static page.
If you entered but aren't one of the three then reply to this cause i probably didn't see it.
More OC contests to come!

>>577
Congratulations to everyone!! They are great!

>>573

Fucking freaky, the moment I stopped playing this WEBM, the actual song was playing on this sites radio right where it was left off
