A mixed bag of fun with the Urusei Yatsura cast. The best of the lot is probably OAV#1, "Inaba the Dreammaker," an hour-long special in which Shinobu finally meets her dream guy. "Ryoko's September Tea Party" and "Scrapbook of Memories" are basically clip shows. Most of the others are half-hour stories which could easily have been TV show episodes, with slightly higher art and animation quality. Some of the character designs have been tweaked a bit; the characters look more like early Ranma than UY, and Ataru looks a bit beefier than he does in the TV series. (Not that I'm complaining, mind you.)

Bottom line: If you like the TV show (after the first season, anyway), you should like the OAV's.
