I knew it! I was right!
Here's proof that Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1/2 are the same series! What clinched it for me was seeing Sakura in the old UY episode. As soon as she turned ugly because of the diseases, I knew she was Miss Hinako! Argue if you dare, but you gotta admit, I'm onto something here....
I've forgotten his (her?) name right now, but Elle's retainer who kidnaps Ataru in Only You for certain is Konatsu or Tsubasa...
