Review of Urusei yatsura

So happy to be a 2014 reviewer. By far Rumiko Takahashi's best work. What you have here is a Character driven comedy about a lecherous boy who one day must defend his planted from an alien takeover and ends up being engaged to the alien kings daughter. Despite having relationship problems in the beginning, the two tend to get closer and closer throughout the series. This show has the element of surprise and can make any anime fan laugh. It also has a huge cast of funny likable characters. Imagine something like Family Guy and Simpsons but with better set of characters and scripts. Not to mention each episode and characters are all original. It is a true classic and unlike Ranma 1/2, which tends to get repetitive after a couple of seasons, this show stays fresh all the way through. It may start a bit slow at first but once it pics up and more characters are introduced it gets real good and very addicting. I give this a 9.5/10. It is all thanks to Rumiko Takahashi for giving us such a great manga/series.
