I was about to read this, and someone told me that the anime was better than the manga, is this true?
Urusei Yatsura

The manga is very good and worth reading for the missed stories, but yeah the anime is much better.
Benjamin Peterson
Huh. Thanks I guess, I'll watch the show before reading it.
Zachary Davis
They're both worth looking into IMO, although it should be noted that the manga scanlations are terrible.
Benjamin Wood
I liked the movies but the tv series is a little bit too low production quality for me, atleast at the beginning. But 3 great movies out of this series and another one "worth watching to make up your own mind"

Don't skip the anime, you'd be missing too much. It has a god tier cast of VAs, great soundtrack, amazing OPs/EDs and some high quality visual direction.

From cucker to cuckee, she deserves it.
Ethan Garcia
in terms of the tv series late oshii and early yamazaki is the best range of episodes
Robert Ward
I liked the manga more, but I still recommend watching the anime. The 80's music alone is worth it.
Oliver Hill
Sers... anyone got greentext or fanfic about Urusei Yatsura?

Maison Ikkoku was more 80s.
Charles Morris
I'm going through the series right now.
When does the animation quality improve?
Elijah King
Episode 30.

Tough call, but I'd say go with the Anime.
Dylan Young
maison ikkoku was great
Dylan Flores
How's the anime vs manga on Maison Ikkoku? I just started the manga, but only one chapter in. Not too late to watch the anime first.

I hear a lot of people say the manga is better, but as someone who's watched the anime, there's a lot you'd be missing.
Like Urusei Yatsura (which shares most of the same production team) the visual direction is amazing, and nails the 80s setting and atmosphere perfectly. The VA cast is top notch, the soundtrack is fantastic and overall, it's a great viewing experience.
The biggest problem is, and always will be the tenants of the house that aren't the MC or Kyoko. Just a horrible, nauseating group of characters.
Isaac Taylor
Urusei Yatsura had some great openings. The first and sixth always hit the spot for me.
Jonathan Jones
I'm partial to the second.

I read UY raw and it's beautiful. The scans may be terrible and the translation bad, since it's hard to catch the amount of puns in English.
I personally hate the tv show, but I watched it with 80mb files per episode and thought it was too rough (I love classics like Harlock and Ashita no Joe so age isn't an issue). I didn't get past episode 40 though.
Thomas Price
Watch this then come back (episode 101 if you want to get it off nyaa).
