Rumiko Takahashi Anthology

This was a great commendable compilation of Rumiko Takahashi's works. All the episodes were totally absorbing and relatable. The animation was smooth and captivating, as it was done in the early 2000s. Beyond the amazing writing, some episodes were perfectly paced, while others were kept dragged. But overall, it was an amazing experience for me since it was my very first time watching an anthology, and I'm truly a fan of InuYasha and Ranma ½.

This was a chaotic plot but the ending was satisfying to end this anthology. Poor Gorgeous, though. It looks like it isn't gorgeous but rather a funny-looking Golden Retriever after the mischief. Hence, Kogure was an understanding character and he didn't let down his family, leading to a fulfilling finish.

It had a slow start and was interesting at first. But when Hanako got paranoid and kept dragging the whole situation, I felt extremely annoyed. The tone was a little mysterious but as the plot deepens, it was all worth the wait. The ending was heartwarming and a relief, though.

This episode was a bit dreamy. The thoughts of Shinonome set in the past with his family right in front of him were a little too ambitious. The tone was pretentious, having unrequited feelings for a long time, taking his chances at repetitive Shima's name chanting, was over the top. The animation on this was smooth, and the mood was kind of bland.
