* ''[[Ranma ½]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]''. What's not to love? Three's Company plots, called attacks, [[Wig, Dress, Accent]] disguises, people wielding giant spatulas and umbrellas, on and on...
** What I love about ''Ranma 1/2'' is that even the [[Loads and Loads of Characters|loads and loads of supporting characters]] like Ryoga, Shampoo, Mousse, Ukyo, Happosai and Pantyhose Taro are really distinct characters (several of them are quite sympathetic despite all the [[Comedic Sociopathy]] going on). A lot of them could legitimately star in their own manga series, but Takahashi manages to tie them all together in a never-boring web of love and rivalry. And for a [[Gender Bender]] comedy, the fight scenes are legitimately awesome. Who didn't get chills when Ranma reversed the Hiryuu Shoten-Ha against Herb? Or when Ryoga, seemingly pinned to the ground by Ranma, launched them both into the air one-handed and revealed just how [[Made of Iron]] he was?
** '[[Ranma ½]] is one of my favourite shows. [[Martial Arts and Crafts]] left right and centre, an excellent diverse cast, an amazingly cool urban fantasy setting and some of most interesting relationships ever. The [[TakahashiBelligerent CoupleSexual Tension|couple]] are also so... Dynamicdynamic while being so well meant for each other, that I'm not sure any other romance could top them. People acting stupidly, destroing things and making almost all their fight both ridiculous and epic. The [[Gender Bender]] part is also well done, but there's so much else going on that this show is always fun to watch.
* I absolutely love ''[[Yotsubato]]''. The quirkiness of the characters, the excitement Yotsuba expresses when she discovers something new... it's like experiencing childlike innocence all over again.
** Everything is the Biggest. Discovery. Ever. -- because, well, it's all new to her. The world hasn't looked so sparkly since I was that age. Only it wasn't nearly so side-splittingly hilarious back then.
