I really wish that Rumiko Takahashi expanded a little bit more on Mermaid Saga. There's just so much potential and lore that she'd created and the characters Yuta and Mana were such a treat to see. Plus the horror aspects of immortality and just how high the price for it really is is just such an interestingly dark concept. I'd love to see more of the world that is Yuta and Mana's.

Rumic World Week is the celebration of Rumiko Takahashi and her works and it will take place from October 4th to October 10th.

■ RULES

Any kind of participation is welcome but it must be original. Reposted fanarts/fics/gifs won´t be reblogged.

Tag your post with #rumicworldweek and/or mention rumicworldweek.

Have fun❣️If you have any questions/doubts feel free to ask.

More info under the cut.

The prompts were chosen in order to encourage everyone to participate. Fanfics, fanarts, gifsets, graphics, headcanons, caps, colorings, metas...  

Two different daily prompts, you can choose the one you prefer or you can combine them, reinterpret them, or skip the day if you can’t think of anything.

Be considerate of others! If your fic needs warnings please note them at the top. Use tags appropriately and “read more” if your fic is very long.

The tag will be tracked for a month. Late posts will be reblogged. If you post them earlier they will be reblogged for the corresponding day.

If your posts weren’t reblogged feel free to send an ask. Sometimes tags won’t work, sometimes tumblr is being tumblr. Sometimes timezones and real life stuff play a role, your posts won’t be reblogged right away i.e. if you post in the evening in the US. Send me an ask if you’ve been waiting for more than a day. (Tag + mention is a surer way to get noticed)

The prompts are open to interpretation. For day 3 you can pick your favourite place, where your favourite scenes are set or simply the one you like the most... To the future can mean something you wish to see, what you wish to be adapted next...

If you have any questions/doubts feel free to ask!

Ok Rumic World, who's hotter???

[strawberry-sticky-autism]

Most, if not all, Rumiko Takahashi characters are some form of LGBTQ+.

Who is the best Rumic world girl?? My fav is Nanoka 😺 or Moroha 🐶

[sailorstarr-chan4]

This is going for a VERY niche audience on here lol (*cough* @artistefish *cough cough* 👀👀), and I ALMOST added Ranma 1/2 on this list..... until I remembered the Inuyasha vs Ranma reboot poll and realized there's a very passionate fandom for Ranma out there lmao.

Is there any interest in a Rumiko Takahashi’s week?

Maybe around her Birthday (10th Oct.) and the prompts could be generic enough that you could make graphics or gifs or posting panels or write or draw. You could skip a day or only do one.

Some ideas:

Favourite manga/anime

Favourite panel / moment / scene

Favourite character

Favourite relationship

Fall

Free choice

Happy birthday!

Including a photo of my Mermaid Saga collection, so i can still identify this post by thumbnail, in case the vid disappears from YouTube.

Mermaid's Scar OVA English Dub by Vhs tape

Still my favorite adaptation of Takahashi's Mermaid Saga.

I once showed the OAV for Mermaid Forest to my school's anime club, and they literally laughed at all the scenes that were aupposed to be scary. That adaptation thought going over the top with gore would equal "Horror". But Takahashi's Horror stories work like a "slice of life" setting, slowly invaded by something horrifying. Like Laughing Target or the entirety of the Mermaid Saga. Only Inuyasha is upfront about its Horror elements, because it's not a mystery (to the cast or the audience) that something nefarious is possible. Takahashi Horror can and does have pretty intense moments of gore, but that's not where her Horror draws it's fright.

One thing I find interesting is the change in border color from the original and the VIZ version of the colored pages.

Although mine isn't as good quality since its a photo instead of a scan

Mana when she first met Yuta: Tch, peasant. Oh well, I guess I'll stick with him.

Mana later in the series after getting to know Yuta: I'd kill for you. Please let me kill for you, I'm begging you-
