She's a good businesswoman but her stories tend to drag. She sees manga as a busines first

Yes. She's one of the best mangaka ever

A little bit, truthfully I've only really watched most of Inuyasha and only seen bits/pieces of her other stuff

No. She wasted her talent primarily writing shounenshit.

>>285799312
Yeah. Like the entire industry.

Yes, very funny woman. Only watched 80s Urusei Yatsura from her but she made hit after hit after hit

>>285799627
Not necesarilly. It's obvious a manga needs to sell but many classic authors were clearly passionated about their jobs and clashed with their editors and even their readers to tell their stories

Only read Ranma and it was pretty mediocre. Actually watched and read some Inuyasha too but got tired of it after a point too.

>>285799764
Inuyasha was Takahashi trying to make battle shounen but quickly giving up and going back to romcom hijinks.

>>285799232
yes inuyasha was what started my lifelong anime/manga journey after all.

>>285799232
I think she is very talented, but I'm not that fond of her works.

>>285799232
Inuyasha was a basic romantic drama disguised as a battle manga so no.

>>285799232
Yes. Wealthiest female comic artist worldwide and also her works were influential

She ruined an entire generation of men

>>285799232
Yeah, but some of her fans are annoying. Ranma fans within the last year or so have become especially toxic and unpleasant and now I don't enjoy seeing or interacting with them because they're just so constantly obnoxious, which is a shame because I actually like the series itself. I admit that has nothing to do with Rumiko herself though.

I find her "simplified" art style from the last couple decades pretty weird but it's not exactly worth complaining about.

>>285799312
Takahashi needed directors like Oshii (Urusei Yatsura) and Yamazaki (Maison Ikkoku) to make her work truly great. Those anime's really let her world "breathe" and come to life with fleshed out characters and the animator's improvisational riffs on her basic themes.

>>285799627
full metal Alchimist

>>285799232
UY and Ramja were goat
everything else was trash
most anime and manga is trash
most people are trash

>>285799836
she never went back to romcom, rinne is just riding the coattails of death note but with her touch.
Just like Urusei Yatsura was riding the coattails of 70s scifi go nagai and doraemon, and ranma was riding the coattails of Bruce Lee and Jackie chan.

>>285800592
Lum is Doraemon? I wonder what I would find inside her wondrous pocket

>>285799232
yes, and fuck you for making me think this was about her passing

>>285799232
I got to see some of her original artwork at a museum exhibit recently, it was cool. Not a huge fan but you gotta respect the legacy no matter what. Anyone with multiple hits on that level deserves it no matter what.

Ranma is a comedic masterpiece

>>285800938
everybody is an asshole the manga

>>285800404
the people your referring to are almost certainly not ranma fans and just LGBT culture war addicts wearing the skin of the series

>>285799232
i think she should retire

>>285801163
The ranma subreddit is rankane, facebook ranma fandom is millenials normie shit, and x is tiktok zoomers.
True ranma fans always seem to be either female ranma fags, ryogafags, shampoofags or even nabikifags.
Main character fags are tourist.

>>285799232
Love her
For me it's:
InuYasha > Maison Ikkoku > Ranma 1/2 = UY
I also enjoy Mermaid Saga and Mao
Was reading OPG but the scan is low quality and I'm used to HD

>Scrolling catalog
>See picture of real person
>IMMEDIATELY PANIC even if it's nothing.
Stop doing that!

>>285799232
Yeah, she's my favourite mangaka

>>285799232
She's done a lot of great work, absolutely.

>>285799232
She has my respect for consistently making couples that I want to see fuck, and she has my ire for blue balling everyone and dragging that shit out as long as possible.

>>285802797
lum and ataru is her only good couple.

She's literally one of the worst mangaka of all time lmao
>>285802357
Inuyasha, the shonen manga that could have ended in 150 chapters, but went on to 580. You guys slurp anything up lmao
>>285802797
She's a hack lmao

>>285799232
Not since Sappho has a woman turned her closeted lesbianism into such an successful and long lasting career.

>>285800938
And the final arc turned it into one of the best battle shonens ever.

>>285799232
Why would an old lady vn young characters?

>>285804996
Fuck me I'm retarded ignore that

I don't know if I "respect" her, but she's done a lot of good work. Impressive that she made so many famous series in an industry full of one hit wonders.

Inuyasha went on way too long.

The bee shit was hilarious meme
