add recThey both wrote by the person so they have alot of in common, and both very light hearted but funny and both are a romance in a way kinda, and they both have long runnings 150 epsiods+
The Rumiko Feeling.
Not only Rumiko Takahashi fans should make sure to watch both anime series because of the epic greatness of all her creations.
Both Ranma ½ and Urusei Yatsura only have enclosed episodes and are all about one sided love - or well, is it really one sided? Watch 'em and you'll see!
Ranma and Urusei Yatsura is both made of the same person, if you liked one of them, youre definetely going to like the other. For you who like romantic more than action, but don't want to lose the fun, this is your anime. When I first watched Ranma i thought that was like the best anime ever, the only anime that made me feel like it was an even better anime was Urusei Yatsura.
Kimagure Orange Road TV
A classic romantic comedy from the 1980's, telling the bittersweet story of three high school students. The series features very unique storytelling and direction, music from some of the biggest Japanese pop acts of the 1980's, and an added twist as Kyosuke and his family are ESPers, whose powers are used to tell unique stories and put the characters in unusual situations.

add recUrusei Yatsura may be more of a romantic comedy, and Inuyasha may be more of an action series, but they both fit well together. Inuyasha has a romantic element to it and it is focused on a fair bit. Miroku from Inuyasha reminds me very much of Shuutaro from Urusei Yatsura, and Kagome punishes Inuyasha nearly as much as Lum does Ataru, though in different ways. Though Urusei Yatsura is pretty much episodic, there is a bit of a continuing story to follow. If you like one of these, you'd probably like the other.
Both series have such odd characters and bad guys in it with very interesting humor to boot. Plot wise they are quite different as Urusei Yatsura is more lovey dovey where InuYasha has more action and adventure. But i have to say if you liked one check out the other.

add recBoth are similar romantic comedies. Lum and Neru are both short tempered and have a tendancy to be violent. Ataru and Keitaro are both bumbling fools, though Ataru is more open with his fantasies. Both are quality series and well worth the watch. Both series have a host of great supporting charecters with unique personalities.
Slayers

Meet Lina Inverse, a mighty sorceress who fights evil in the name of... greed, gluttony and black magic?!

add recBoth Slayers and Urusei Yatsura are side-cracking comedies. They feature a random, slap-stick style of humor that keeps both shows unpredictable and constantly entertaining. Both shows also have their serious moments (Slayers more so than Urusei Yatsura) but always lighten a serious scene by throwing in a sudden comment or character entrance to lighten the mood as quickly as possible. Any fan of comedy will enjoy both of these shows.
