Rumiko Takahashi

I really like Rinne, honestly. It is much more like Ranma than it like Bleach and Inuyasha, a slow SoL comedy with some supernatural elements. Plus Sakura is the best heroine she has ever written.

Space opera is a subgenre of Sci-fi. Besides, Urusei Yatsura is mostly set on Earth, it has Sci fi elements on par with Dragon Ball.

Thanks user will look into those three series you mentioned,

Also check out her "Rumic World" OVA specials.

Self contained mini stories all bundled together.

>(Inu Yasha would have been better if the show was cut down to like, 75 eps instead of 100+ something)
This so much, I consider real start of Inuyasha when Sango enters the party. Only by that time we actually get clear picture of what the plot is about and what their character arcs are about and FINALLY get some semblance of character dynamic. Until Miroku and Sango joined the party it was kind tedious to watch Inuyasha and Kagome bitterly bicker like a jaded couple and Shippo being literally fucking useless. Hell, it didn't even have a villain.

It didn't just feel like she was making it up as she went along, it more feels like she was shitting out literally first drafts for like a year and then realized "oh wait, there should be like an actual story in there, I forgot". Or maybe editors forced her to make it good.

>a Boruto style Ranma 1/2 continuation
Fuck no

A manga coming put in the spring?
I hope she finishes Mermaid Saga. I guess at this point it would be better to reboot it. But in all honesty her art has barely changed.

I liked it too. The cast had similar roles to Ranma but their personalities were different and great.

So did you manage to read all the way to the end? What happen at the end? Did the main couple ends up together?

She's going to work on a yuri manga about on adolescence through adulthood.

It's been back burner on Rumiko for a very long time.

But wouldn't the sequel series for Ranma 1/2 be Ranma 1 1/2? Or Ranma 3/2 if you use improper fractions?

I bet Rumiko is gonna tell the exact same fucking story she's told for the past 40 years with the exact same characters. This is coming from someone who loves almost all of Takahashi's works but she's totally a one trick pony.

She married yet?

She's married to the pen

Rumiko is a right-winger, she's a firm believer that a woman's place is in the kitchen making dinner for the boys. Ironic because she's single and more successful than many male mangakas but it's a case of do what I say, not what I do.

>Rumiko is a right-winger

sauce pls

Her works tend to have a very conservative view. The genderbending is often used to reinforced the gender roles at the end. Also she didn't get along with Oshii for his most experimental style but Oshii is a socialist that participated in the student movement during the 60's so that could add even more fuel to their feud

This became really evident with Inuyasha. The kind of story Takahashi was telling needed arcs and progressions and arguably she delivered at the beginning by making a horror-ish manga with action, comedy, romance, etc but eventually fall into the same old bullshit except this time all the characters, heroes and villains, look like incompetent idiots wasting their time in romcom situations.

You know lesbians can be conservative too you know.

Whatever it is... it should have an endgame like Maison Ikkoku

Never met Rumiko, probably never will. All I have is her work. BTW, Nobuko Yoshiya, the creator of Class S and one of the main responsables of Japan believing lesbianism is just a phase until this day, was a lesbian and she has a lesbian partner for decades until she died. People are complex

>Class S and one of the main responsables of Japan believing lesbianism is just a phase until this day

Well Class S is dead you know welcome to the future user.

If Adachi can tell the same story with the same characters for years, why not her too?

Finish Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1/2 first Rumiko.

Did Ranma never finish? I only ever watched and read it as a kid and I had a very short attention span, only got through about 20 volumes of the manga and whatever random VHSes I could get my hands on.

It finished, he is just meming.

Cool.

So it's reveal Rumiko is a lesbian but conservative at best.

I think you guys are trying too hard to project American ideas of "conservative" onto the Japanese.

I hope it is something similar to UY. Her guy MCs are always really fun and great but her female leads are usually boring save for lum

Conservatives are just pretty old fashioned and can be pretty irritating at some times. I wouldn't be shocked if Rumiko does an yuri manga that's gonna be Class S type of story.

Honestly all I get from her work is that sex before marriage, especially when it comes to teenagers, is bad.

I really hope not

She seems to be stuck in the idea of girl crushes are just a phase and like she's one of the richest mangakas alive, she has no reason to change her mind.

Rin-ne ended? Shit, I stopped watching S1 halfway and backlogged it

Oh!!! Let me guess!!!

A tsundere girl falls in love with a somewhat attractive guy who's more than a little awkward after they accidentally/coincidentally bump into each other at an atypical location. But there's a twist!! One of the two of them is ACTUALLY SPIRITUAL and as a result, this romantic comedy manga will run into all sorts of situational incidents of 20 different characters that come from nowhere to fall in love with one of the couple, fail, but continue to try non-stop for the entirety of the rest of the manga.

It will continue with romantic drama about how the boy can't find the right way to express his love and the girl is always misunderstanding common scenes as proof of his disingenuous "love" for her, so she's reacts violently and with abandonment. This continues for the entirety of the manga until the final 2 chapters where the tsundere finally accepts the awkward boy's confession, she instantly loses all "tsun", he becomes a gentle and boring salaryman and everyone else disappears.

DID I GET IT RIGHT!!??!!

>pre-marital sex is bad
>homosexuality is bad
>rigid gender roles
Rumiko is more conservative than fucking Jason Vorhees.

Too be fair though, I don't think Rumiko Takahashi likes to murder nearly as much.

>homosexuality is bad

The thing she really doesn't believe in love both homo and hetero. I think Rumiko will challenge herself on doing an yuri series as long it's good despite being an phase.

Jason punish his victims by killing them. Rumiko send them to a limbo of endless misunderstandings and going through the same shit over and over again. That's more cruel than murder. Death is just a moment of pain.

Japan's national motto is If ain't broken, don't fix it

Adachi is 5x the writer and artist (especially with visual storytelling) that she is, that's why.

>Japan's national motto is If ain't broken, don't fix it

Well actually Japan is fixing it but it's a very slow process.

If Adachi made an yuri series, would it be kino?

Rumiko also contributed to a bunch of crazy fetishes of mine through ranma 1/2

It would be very cozy and feature comfy urban environments at least. Yuri-themed baseball series in an all-girls school would be pretty based.

Shampoo was always my favorite girl even though I knew he'd end up with Akane.

You know, you only described Ranma in a very superficial way. Kyoko, Lum, Sakura and Kagome were barely tsundere.

All of Rumikos lead females are tsunderes, user. I've read all the mangas, and I actually liked Ranma, Inuyasha and Maison Ikkoku.

When it comes to their man, they are TSUNdere.

I bet it's going to be Inuyasha but this time it's in space.

>everyone wishing for lighthearted harem action comedy
>we`ll get a horror manga with gore

how is kyoko lum and kagome a tsundere?

>Ranma 1/2 continuation
absolutely based, OP

No, don't

I fucking wish.
I also wish she wont be scared of having an OP female who gets into physical fights for a change.
I'm so sick of the women having some sort of long-range attacks that keeps them safe while the men do all of the dirty work, have a female lead who beats up and gets beaten up damn it.

I'd be down with whatever, as long as it's not creatively anemic like Rin-Ne.

Yes, they do.

Kinda impossible since she will release it on Shonen Sunday again. So, most likely it'll not fall far from her other works. I think she will reuse her formula again with just a few different things to try to make it more likable for this generation.

I hope that it is another planned long-running series set during medieval or early modern Japan, like InuYasha was. She did well using the historical backgrounds, combined with the Japanese mythology and stories of her own creation. As for characters and relationships in the new series, they do not need to be nearly identical to ones of previous characters, but I am OK with some older series references. Let's see if this new series will be more original, though.

If it's long running, lets hope it's not a drama. Might get played out a bit fast.

With the way it's often getting advertised with Ranma and Lum specifically, while skipping Inuyasha, I'm kind of hoping it's some kind of Ranma x UY crossover series, probably not happening though.
