| Was Urusei Yatsura anime complete? I don't remember Lum marrying anyone in the anime tv series. |
| Anime went more mainstream than ever in the last few years. Now we are getting reeadaptations of classics. I hope Yu Yu Hakusho and Berserk will get a proper readaptation as well. |

Psajdak said: Now, one thing that I am sure of is that Ranma 1/2 remake won't happen because original anime was incomplete - otherwise they would have made a sequel maybe even before Inuyasha became a thing. I doubt that. The original anime of Fruits Basket was also incomplete, but they still remade it and actually completed the new series. We already have precedence of an old incomplete series getting remade and completed. |
~ May all the beauty be blessed ~ |
| I wasn't worried. I haven't seen Ranma and Maison Ikkoku yet but if they're even half as good as Urusei Yatsura then I'm going to like them without needing a remake. |

| As much as i'm happy for a david production urusei yatsura adaptation, maison ikkoku doesn't really need a remake. On the contrary, it would completely loose the strong nostalgia effect about the '80s that the series gained just because of its old age... |
| Maison Ikkoku relies heavily on the old payphones, and a whole lot of miscommunication, so I would be interested to see if a remake would still be set in the 1980s because mobile phones would clear up a lot of the dilemmas too easily. |
| Yeah i'm happy for Urusei Yatsura too but i agree with errante77, Maison Ikkoku doesn't need any remake |
| Damn, it would be great if they remade Ranma. Everyone would love it for sure. But I'm afraid the show is too controversial to be aired in the current age. There would be too many sjw/feminist/gender-shmender/whatever hypocrite freaks attacking it. |
 |
| I hope all of them do. I have always wanted to watch Rumiko Takahashi's works, but haven't got around to it coz of old animation. David Production is really picking up these old classics and giving them brand new adaptation. |

| Rumiko Takahashi's works are well known, and Urusei Yatsura is no different. Here where I live, in Brazil, Inuyasha is the anime most known and liked by the public, regardless of age. It is great to have a remake of one of the most nostalgic projects for the childhood of many people. It's an evolution within the Japanese market. I didn't see the current remakes with a good perspective, because people much preferred the original material and the first anime (Shaman King and Dragon Quest), but now I'm happy that they are bringing this ambitious project. And if it works out (I hope), it's possible that we'll have more decent remakes coming in the future. This builds a new audience and gets a lot of people who have stopped watching anime to come back with this giant media. It's beneficial for everyone. I hope that the staff that is committed to the project will keep the essence of Rumiko and not disappoint the large amount of its fans. That's the least we can expect from a timeless story. |

| Is this a remake!? I wonder how they'll do it! わくわくします。(I'm excited. "wakuwaku shimasu.") ezikialrage said: The anime itself never gave any "finishing touches" for the story. It had I think 6 movies that continued/completed(?) the series (TV/movie combined).Was Urusei Yatsura anime complete? I don't remember Lum marrying anyone in the anime tv series. |

ezikialrage said: Was Urusei Yatsura anime complete? I don't remember Lum marrying anyone in the anime tv series. It was complete. It just had an open ended ending. Lum marrying Ataru was never the "goal" of the series. |

If they were given enough time and budget a few of the mega studios could pull it off (Toei, Sunrise, MAPPA), if however, you give it to smaller studios like Wit, it would take 20 years to finish. |

I think MAPPA and Toei would quite possibly be the worst choices for a Berserk anime if they really were going to push their luck and attempt another. Miuras art is what makes Berserk as standout as it is and I dont really see any studio being able to make it animated without totally abandoning the original style. |

| I hate Maison Ikkoku, the shit is stupid, unfunny, repetitive, and unbelievably stupid. If the other stuff of the author is like this then no thank you. |

sick_basterd said: Maison Ikkoku's greatest fault to me is its length. Le classic ol' blueballing every fucking episode gets tiring after max 20 episodes; The author introduces characters to incite jealousy, making the show more frustrating; I don't see the behavior of any of the side characters grounded to reality, they are fun, sure, but their behavior feel non-humanistic, especially the other tenants aside from Goda; the heroine has no personality aside from being an ideal woman with no flaws, such a boring girl.cchigu said: I hate Maison Ikkoku, the shit is stupid, unfunny, repetitive, and unbelievably stupid. If the other stuff of the author is like this then no thank you. That's an odd take. Do you hate other classics like Kimagure Orange Road and Touch as well? I find Maison Ikkoku to be a realistic and touching look at a group of people all with different sets of circumstances brought together by their close living quarters. Of all Takahashi's works, Maison Ikkoku has the most soul by far. I have never been so emotionally moved by a work of fiction. It's the complete opposite of Urusei Yatsura. Instead of being completely gag-oriented and one-shot chapter based, Maison Ikkoku tells a complete story with a satisfying ending, something that no other Takahashi story can boast. The series does not need to be remade, both the manga and anime are perfect. fanboy out.

| I love Maison Ikkoku. I don't think that one needs a remake, it holds up great. Ranma could use a more manga accurate one maybe! Would be long, but I'd be for it. New UY is a fun thing! Oshii and co did so nicely in the original series, and it covered a lot of chapters. Can't see that library episode being done better. But here's looking forward to what they got for us! |

cchigu said: I hate Maison Ikkoku, the shit is stupid, unfunny, repetitive, and unbelievably stupid. If the other stuff of the author is like this then no thank you. I agree. Maison Ikkoku is one of the worst anime ever made, and Urusei Yatsura suffers from the same problems. I'm just not a fan of Rumiko Takahashi's works, as they aren't funny at all, but instead, are extremely annoying. |

| I literally scrolled down to discussions section for Ranma 1/2 LMAO, it's one of my all time favorite and one the funniest shits I've ever seen, seriously, watch it, the only terrible thing about it is indeed that it's incomplete and for that I sure do hope it gets a remake. Psajdak said: They did make OVA sequels, not sure if they count or not but I think they sort of do.Now, one thing that I am sure of is that Ranma 1/2 remake won't happen because original anime was incomplete - otherwise they would have made a sequel maybe even before Inuyasha became a thing. Maison Ikkoku doesn't need a remake but personally I wouldn't care if it did, tho, because I wouldn't watch it as I loathe one of the characters to the point I had to fast forward throughout their episodes because I couldn't stand them and to control my rage, I do definitely not want to see them again. |

| maison ikkoku would not look good in these new years, even urusei yatsura will look weird, just leave the past like that |

| I didn't watch every single Rumiko Takahashi anime out there but Maison Ikkoku is easily the best Rumiko Takahashi anime out of the ones I've seen. Out of all Rumiko Takahashi anime, I'd say this one "needs" a remake the least if one at all. Besides the show's aesthetics, certain parts of the story won't make sense at all in a modern setting. So it'd have to be set in the 80's to fully work without massive rewrites. And I'd rather watch a show set in the 80s to actually be from the 80s. |
Romangelo said: IMO Urusei Yatsura is her best work. Ranma 1/2 is probably second. And Maison Ikkoku is just mediocre. Ranma is like a watered down Urusei Yatsura, replacing aliens with Chinese martial arts and instead of a lovable heroine like Lum we get the most boring woman like Akane. One thing I don't like with Ranma and Maison Ikkoku is that... some female characters act like women in real life. I know the author is a woman, and it shows in these works. I can't stand it when characters act like that... being annoying, not saying it straightly about what they want and why they're upset. I have to deal with women's behaviors in real life. Don't want more in manga. Inuyasha is her best and most popular work. |

Ranma 1/2 got kinda annoying after some time, especially Akane. I still watched it all, but was disappointed with the “ending” or lack thereof. Felt like such a waste… |

Felt like such a waste… It's obviously a different anime from Urusei Yatsura, but I couldn't help but notice that there was a vacuum in the romance department with that anime. Ranma and Akane never felt like anything more than just "good friends", from beginning to end. I've never read the manga, so maybe it puts more effort into that. |

| Maison Ikkoku is the one I'm most looking forward to... |
| Maison Ikkoku is perfect as the anime it was and does not need any sort of remake (a remaster maybe). If they remade any of her works I'd rather have Mermaid Tears. |
Ericonator said: By definition, everything is retro since by the time you realize something has happened it's already in the past.  |
| only thing i am interested in is the new Mao manga adaptation and maybe rin-ne continuation. rest of rumiko works already have a serviceable adaptation and almost complete adapation. Ranma 1/2 per say has the worst ending out of all her manga. so i dont think i want to see that. U are better of watching monkey punch's cindrella boy over it if u are that into such troll ending. Also one pound gospel probably deserve a better adaptation that that ova. (though it still has a good live action adaptation) |

  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |

| Ranma 1/2 remake will be good for sure even if the animation quality is that of Shaman King 2021 lol |
| I don't need a remake of InuYasha, just saying. I think it's perfect the way it is. |

Maison Ikkoku is the only work of Rumiko's I dislike. Please don't give up on her. Same here. I love most of her works (Except Maris the Chojo and Fire Tripper, those were mid), but Maison Ikkoku is just painful to watch. The only thing that makes me want to finish it is that it allegedly has a very un-Takahashi end. |
