| I'm currently working on Ranma 1/2 and Maison Ikkoku. I did enjoy InuYasha. |
 |
| InuYasha the only one I could actually finish so guess thats my answer |
 |
| Urusei Yatsura, the best absurd comedy ever with hot girls and violence. |
    |
| I've only watched and read Inuyasha. I am very interested in the others, however. |
 |
| Inu Yasha was best of the lot that I've seen followed by Maison Ikkoku. I also enjoyed Mermaid Forrest. I never finished Urusei Yatsura and I haven't seen Ranma 1/2. |

| Maison Ikkoku, I liked the Manga more though. The jokes worked better and more than 90 episodes are a bit too much for a 15 volumes Manga. They also removed |
 |
| I guess I'm the only person who hated all her works. I strongly consider Maison Ikkoku and Urusei Yatsura to be among the worst Anime ever created. |
 |
| I like urusei yatsura, it’s really bizarre and fun |

| I feel like InuYasha is better if you want good action, with good characters, good story and lots of light-hearted moments where as, Ranma 1/2 succeeds in being just a great comedy with great character's with a plot that unfortunately is never really there or completed by the end. Maison Ikkoku is more of a serious story, with convincing characters, good comedy and its story is actually completed by the end without an overabundance of filler as compared to Ranma 1/2 or InuYasha. I can't say anything else since I haven't fully finished Ranma 1/2, Maison Ikkoku and I haven't seen Urusei Yatsura. |
|
| I'm partial to Maison Ikkoku as it seems to be her only attempt at writing a semi-serious human drama with characters who change significantly over the course of the series. |
  |
| Inuyasha is the only one I've seen and seen all the way through so coming at it from an already strongly biased perspective, but it's a big show that gives viewers time to really breathe in the world and come to know and love the characters and be invested in an epic story and quest to the extent one would become invested in a very long and detailed high fantasy novel of grand scope. One of the only shows I can think of that has almost every genre represented in it effectively at some point, be it adventure, drama, action, romance, comedy; even horror elements at times. With the time travel element, it can even function as a period piece/historical fiction. Plus it has a rich mythology that only exists within the show universe as well as drawing upon real Japanese mythology to provide the basis. As well as, in my opinion, some of the most beautiful music ever put to screen in any show or film in its OST. |
| Voted for Ranma 1/2 because it's the only one I've finished so far and because I adore it. The characters and their interactions in the wide range of bombastic situations they live together every day are incredibly fun to watch, especially Ryouga, it's also my favorite slice-of-life show and the art is so cozy. I don't get the people who say it loses steam in the way...I never got bored throughout its entire run. I tried watching Inuyasha but I could never get into it. I found the whole cast incredibly annoying. I'm eventually going to watch MI and UY too, and I think I'm gonna love the former. |
| i've only watched maison ikkoku and I sincerely hope it's not her best work, as I found it extremely disappointing and for most of its run just boring as hell im starting urusei yatsura soon, though. hope its as good as people say |
 |
| Maison Ikkoku for sure. Characters mature believably in that series and the series stops before it gets anywhere close to boring. |
 Truly a Divine Comedy  |
| Haven't watched Ranma 1/2. Urusei Yatsura got rather one dimensional except the second movie. I am still watching Maison Ikkoku and it had a dull start and is wavering between slightly interesting to meh. I enjoyed Inuyasha the most. Despite the fillers, the world is simply more interesting, the characters were more enjoyable, and there was a nice balance. |
 |
| Ranma 1/2 > Urusei Yatsura > Maison Ikkoku > Inuyasha |
| Mermaid Forest, because it didn't drag on with misunderstandings and fillers to the point of annoyance. I prefer to read her manga over the anime, but even then the plot usually gets stretched too thin for my patience. Too bad there's a non-ending for the Mermaid Forest manga, though it's kind of fitting for the theme it set up |
 |
| Looove Maison Ikkoku such a good romance. |

| I've only seen one third of Inuyasha so I don't know. I liked what I saw though. |
 |
| Never finished Inuyasha and never watched any if the others listed. I did watch the first 2 Kyoukai no Rinne seasons though and wasn't very impressed. I'm sure the others might be better than Rinne was but not really interested in trying them. |
| Maison Ikkoku easily. Maybe it hits home for me since I was watching it during college, but I absolutely love the chemistry between the main couple. Godai and Kyoko are my most favorite Takahashi leads. Like all of her other work, though, it has its fair share of annoying characters. Ranma 1/2 is her funniest series. The gender-bender concept is utilized entertainingly, and the side characters are much better than in Maison Ikkoku. However, I found the middle portion to be fairly inconsistent in terms of pacing, which is quite a problem for a series spanning more than a hundred episodes. On a side note, Female Ranma was my childhood crush. Inuyasha was okay, I guess. I like its mythological world based on Feudal Japan, but the cast leaves much to be desired. Although I have a soft spot for tsunderes, Kagome irritated me to no end. Thankfully, Final Act is much better than the main series. I tried watching a bit of Urusei Yatsura long ago, but I just couldn't get into it. Gonna give it another chance someday. |

| I pity the plebian who can’t enjoy Urusei Yatsura. |

Inuyasha is her best work for me. Though Ranma ½ is actually the funniest. I enjoyed Inuyasha too much, almost to the point of obsession. |
| i've just started urusei yatsura, does the main character ever stop being such an annoying brat? how about the shinobu girl? |
|
| Well, I've only watched Maison Ikkoku and a few episodes of Urusei Yatsura. Maison Ikkoku, for all its faults, is probably the best romcom anime I've seen. Great directing, music, voice acting (especially for Kyoko), and one of the most satisfying endings of any anime I've watched. It makes sitting through all the frustrating love triangles and misunderstandings, and especially tolerating those asshole tenants worth it. |
| Never saw Inuyasha. Never saw much of Ranma 1/2 aside from the first few seasons which were licensed in german, and that was 15 years ago so hard to say how I feel about it now. Between Urusei Yatsura and Maison Ikkoku, I'll have to pick Urusei Yatsura for higher overall entertainment value, better support cast and having some of the best franchise movies ever. Ikkoku peaks higher toward the end, and is probably the best Takahashi show in terms of development and an actual conclusion, but it also has the most obnoxious side characters of the bunch and was the only one of her shows that I almost dropped and had on-hold for, idk, 7 years because the early eps were that frustrating to watch. Why is Kyoukai no Rinne not among the options tho? It has 40 volumes, 75 episodes of anime and was the most recent of her 'main' series, making it more likely that newer fans have actually heard of it. Not that I'd place it above Urusei Yatsura or Maison Ikkoku, but it feels random to exclude it. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

I'll finish a week or so Urusei Yatsura and I'll go straight to Maison Ikkoku, damn! I hope they aren't that obnoxious and annoying. Quick question: are they more annoying than Onsen, Ran-chan, Ryoko and Ryuunosuke's dad? from your experience of course. |
|
| Urusei Yatsura is one of my all-time favorite anime. |
| I will have to go with Inuyasha as is the only one with a conclusive ending. But Urusei Yatsura is the ancestors of all romcons and is amazing. The only problem just like Ranma there is no final ending. We know that things can only go one path but the ending is still open. |
| I've only watched InuYasha but the others seems interesting too |
| InuYasha of course. Both award winning manga and award winning anime adaptation. |

| Unsurprising InuYasha leading the votes considering it's the youngest of all the titles. Ofc 80s shows have no opportunity in this site.... |

| Regardless of which you think is best, you can't deny the profound amount of influence they've had in their respective genres. All the way since InuYasha to the Haruhi evolution, there were a ton of series that drew inspiration from that series. Maison Ikkoku and Those Noisy Aliens pretty much set the precedence for romcoms for over a decade. Quite a driving force in the manga and anime industry. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
Arkab said: Unsurprising InuYasha leading the votes considering it's the youngest of all the titles. Ofc 80s shows have no opportunity in this site.... Age has nothing to do with it for more folks than you might think. Unlike some others, I never watched a single minute of Inuyasha growing up. I vaguely knew of its existence from maybe three brief TV spot commercials I ever saw on Cartoon Network for it. Didn't know a single thing about it, wasn't interested, and wasn't interested in any anime shows in general. I didn't start watching it until I turned 25 shortly after getting into anime in general and decided I wanted to start a longer series, so I read the synopses from several different shows. It simply sounded the most interesting. Takahashi has obviously contributed a lot to the industry and I'm grateful for her work in bringing such a rich and colorful story to life in Inuyasha, but aside from Mermaid Forest which is on my to-watch list, reading over the synopses for her other works, there's nothing that actually appeals to me and probably a lot of people who aren't into strictly romantic comedies. I can't speak to their quality at all as I haven't seen them and if anything, would assume they're stellar since they're a product of Takahashi, but they don't seem to offer the same range of genres as Inuyasha. |

| InuYasha too, but Ranma 1/2 holds a special place in my heart so its pretty hard to decide, went with Ranma 1/2 since InuYasha's already winning. Not really a fan of her other works but I have watched Urusei Yatsura, Lum was one of my childhood anime crushes iirc. |
  |
| Ranma 1/2 is. It's also one of the comfiest anime/manga series to ever be created. (Let's just ignore the garbage ending though, please. Excluding the ending, this is the truth.) The characters are all so fun, and it's just an all around fun, goofy, heartwarming, and good time. Urusei Yatsura would be her other best. Inuyasha is....fine. I think her true strength lay with creating lovable and OTT characters in Romcom series. |
| I'm glad Inuyasha is winning like it deserves. xD It has great romance, great action, great drama, and great characters. While I enjoy Ranma 1/2, Akane f*cking ruins everything. She's really intolerable. I'm so glad Kagome was not an Akane clone. Rumiko really learned her lesson with making a likable heroine and it shines the most with Kagome. I WISH I could like Rinne but it's so f*ckin BORING. :( Seriously, I wanted to like it so much.... |
