They are both great, but anime fans need to read the Mushrooms of Time arc, it's really funny 😂
Yup. I paid about the same for a Desperately Seeking Shampoo VHS from my comic shop in the mid 90's and it was worth it for me.
This.
But between the two I'm going to have to go with inuyasha just because I won't run into story focused on
in Inuyasha.
Thought he was a horrible character back when I first watched Ranma like 15 years ago, and outright can't stand him or characters like him anymore.
Miroku has issues, but he has nothing on Happosai.
Inuyasha to me was rumiko "selling out". like, it wasn't bad but i got the vibe it wasn't a pure creative endeavor on her part
that said i revisited Ranma recently and it wasn't near as good as i remembered but still fun
Maison Ikkoku is just on a whole 'nother level

I also loved Urusei Yatsura
I re-read a few chapters recently and the slap stick holds up really well. I often love how the final panel usually devolves the story into chaos.
And Beautiful Dreamer is a genuinely dope movie for a comedy series.
lol I remember the one Summer I started with buying the VHS OVA collection. Freaking loved it
I love Rumiko but I NEVER got around to Maison Ikkoku. What's the vibe with it? I saw the anime OP and thought it looked odd haha
But I've been looking to take another manga series on soon. Maybe it's time I caught up?
That's honestly a funny take haha
Ranma is great but I prefer something with a clear plot and end-goal. Ranma is basically the Simpsons but with a harem.
Now you made me have a craving to revisit the series...I re-read a few chapters recently and the slap stick holds up really well. I often love how the final panel usually devolves the story into chaos.

I gotta see if my dvds in storage still work
Is that a bra? What.This.

I forgot how crazy 80s anime was.
after some google fu seems like some if not all episodes are up on youtube
MI is a pretty down to earth story revolving a dirt poor tenant of the apartment complex Maison Ikkoku. The tenant, Yusaku Godai, develops a crush on the landlord and finds himself in a sort of love triangle. It's 1980's romcom with a few quirky side characters and honest emotion. Really quite grounded compared to other stuff she's done.
I will say though that Ranma is Takahashi at the top of her artistic skills. It's really well drawn.
yes, the character spends most of his time running around town stealing women's underwear to add to his collection.
Maison Ikkoku by a landslide.
Between the two, and referring to anime adaptations, the first series of Ranma 1/2 (the first eighteen episodes, not the follow up series with the rest of it: Nettohen) is better than anything Inu Yasha. Some of the OVAs are pretty great too. The TV series declines after the start of the second season and really hits the dumps when fucking Happosai is introduced.

lol pretty sure it got one of my best friends into some really depraved shit.

For me is is the reverse, Happosai is terrible, but I don't ever forget that he is a villainous character whom is Ramna arch-nemesis. Miroku is a sexual assault machine but is also an alleged hero and that was always the tipping point for me, that this supposed good guy just groped a girl, again.
Loved Ranma as a kid, but was never interested in Inuyasha. I was today years old when I found out these were from the same author though? Wild.

Honestly a bit disappointing that these characters came from a female creator.
I mean, Ataru from Urusei Yatsura is the protagonist of the series and if he were written nowadays... there'd be a lot of commentary about it.
Urusei Yatsura is fun for retelling a lot of Japanese folklore with a modern (for mid-80s) hook.
Ranma 1/2. Easily. EASILY. The comedy is so much sharper.
Yes it's too bad about happosai and a lot of the sex comedy that doesn't really work anymore, but man...Ranma 1/2 is so good.
InuYasha recycles the same plot 5 times and gets mad when you guess the final ending.
