It’s a Rumic World: 50th Anniversary (Urusei Yatsura, Ranma 1/2 and InuYasha)
Anime
Rumiko Takahashi is one of the most influential manga authors in history, her manga being some of selling very well in japan and many of her series being part of the push for anime abroad in the early 90’s. She’s such a big deal she got an exhibit at an art museum in Japan in 2008, and with at a set of OVAs to celebrate it. The special is a crossover between Urusei Yatsura, Ranma 1/2, and InuYasha, so I’ve compiled all the anime you should watch before watching the Special. Quite the excuse to make a Rumic World Stack eh?
This stack is organized by release order and has more details in the description of the anime, the only exceptions are the titular OVAs because an InuYasha anime came out afterword but I wanted to include it with the other InuYasha anime and the Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1/2 readaptations which I included for shits and giggles.
