Review title: Just read the manga version...
Product review: Maris the Chojo is one of renowned manga artist Ms. Rumiko Takahashi's early works. The original manga version is simple, short, and sweet. Unfortunately, the anime version I'm reviewing now is the exact opposite. While the zany plot is more or less retained, the execution is what kills the MTC anime. Things unfold slowly, and everything just gets so long-winded. There are lots of useless panning through scenes where characters traverse - whether walking on land or flying through space. I marvel at how they managed to extend a very short manga story to a 45-minute anime feature. The art and animation are okay. The overall look and feel are somewhat dated but it's generally not bad.
