A little while ago, I realized that Rumiko Takahashi had once beaten off the path of her regular work and wrote a series of short manga stories. Then I found out most of them had been adapted into OVA's and even a couple series, so I decided to take a trip through them. They range from not bad to pretty damn good, Fire Tripper in particular impressed the hell out of me. Otherwise, The Mermaid Forest OVA's are worth a watch, and Maris the Choujo gave me a good chuckle.
