Discotek Media has also released the series on Blu-ray, not just movies.

At some point the OVAs too. Not up for pre-orders, yet.
It's just Maison Ikkoku without a streaming home now.

Most of Rin-ne is also still gone from streaming. For whatever reason HiDive only has s3 streaming.

And both Rumiko Takahashi Anthology & Mermaid Forest too, I believe. Plus, if we go beyond TV series, there's a bunch of various OVAs (the Rumic World one-offs, One-Pound Gospel, Mermaid Scar, etc.) that are also without any official English option, too.

You're missing a "1", the original Urusei Yatsura TV series was 194 episodes vs. Ranma 1/2's 161 (18 episode original season and 143 episodes of everything else, I'm not sure why Wikipedia has the first season listed separately from the rest).

So I did, I guess half of what I said can be discarded. So that's even longer than Ranma 1/2, which I actually thought was 164 episodes.

Also with Ranma 1/2 only the TV show is streaming but not any of the OVAs or movies.

The first 18 episodes of Ranma are technically a different production to the rest of the series. IIRC it was due to lower ratings and it got cancelled an retooled under the name Ranma 1/2 Nettohen.

@Tenchi
As consignia says, Ranma 1/2 was cancelled after the early episodes got poor ratings. They apparently received fairly early advance notice of this as they were able to skip three episodes so that they would end with the first story arc that featured Shampoo. Apparently ratings improved with additional episodes as they were re-scheduled only a bit more than a month after the first season ended. Episodes 19 through 161 were run continuously with only a few gaps associated with holidays.
Due to the short length of the hiatus, I would assume that they received notice of being restored before they ended production on the first season. The skipped over three episodes were later screened a few weeks into the second season. The recent Viz Blu-ray issue puts them back in the location they would originally have appeared, following the manga continuity.

I wonder, will they remake Maison Ikkoku, or go straight to Ranma 1/2, once Urusei Yatsura remake is done...

Ranma 1/2 was cancelled after 18 episodes and retooled to lower production costs by outsourcing animation oversees it worked the Ranma 1/2 Nettohen second series lasted 143 episodes.

Is this the first time there have been official subs?
