Rumiko Takahashi Anthology
Synopsis:
Rumic's Theater is a collection of 13 stories by Rumiko Takahashi, who is also responsible for such things as Inuyasha, Kimagure Orange Road, and Mermaid's Forest. While each story has its own tone, the focus tends to be based upon marriage, death, apartments, or general quirky situations and experiences. Sarcasm and mixups abound in this entertaining series.

add recBoth of these anime deal with (mostly) normal situations that the average person should be able to identify with. Some are funny, some are sad, some are very heartwarming. I believe if you liked those qualities watching Rumiko Theater, you should definitely give My Neighbors the Yamadas a try.
Both of these titles show you a remarkable look at the everyday Japanese household, with realistic situations and interesting things. Definitely the realism was what shined about both of these.

Lady Ran is a self-described 'beautiful drifter': a samurai who travels Japan on a whim, always searching for good sake. Together with her good-hearted but somewhat dense sidekick Meow (master of the Iron Cat Fist style), they stumble into situations where they (usually unwillingly) confront bandits, corrupt officials and deceitful cults. But there's one enemy they can never defeat with their amazing sword and martial arts skills: their perpetual poverty!
