Since they're censoring even the vaguest allusions to homosexuality (STILL MAD), reminder that you need to read the manga for this cute gag where Ranma's two best mob friends start to give him the supportive "coming out of the closet" talk because Shampoo's spell is making him act like a desperate cockslut.

You won't ever see her agai after that arc tho, the old anime gave her an anime original episode like 60 episodes after she showed up and 3 cameos (one in a recap episode, other in the movies and other in the OVAs), but she never showed up again in the manga just like most of the one off arc characters

Too bad the remake is heavily censored

>Akane has a flashback to Ranma at the skating rink telling Mikado that Akane is his fiancée. This has long confused fans due to the fact that this episode has not yet taken place. How can Akane remember something that has not happened yet? In the manga the Golden Pair chapters take place before Shampoo arrives (as indicated by the presence of this flashback). When the anime was made it originally followed this order as well, having Shampoo debut after the Golden Pair. However the Golden Pair episodes were delayed due to cultural sensitivities at the time. Serial killer Tsutomu Miyazaki was on a rampage between August of 1988 until he was caught in July of 1989 (just a month before this episode aired). The Japanese media portrayed Miyazaki as an anime obsessive and a witch-hunt against anime and manga was in full effect at the time, the implication being that the content Miyazaki consumed shaped him into a serial killer. Because Miyazaki had kidnapped and raped children, any anime that hinted at abductions might be on thin ice. Consequently, Nettohen episode 7 "The Abduction of P-Chan" (which was planned to air before this episode) was a title that was imagined to be too provocative at the time. As a result the episodes were removed and shuffled later in the sequel series after things had calmed down in the media.
So political correctness already existed in 1989...

The bath house episode is going to look real silly in the remake assuming they just don't skip it entirely due to all the nudity it has

Why did Ranma take the time to transform before challenging Mikado?

a) Mikado was impressive in 100 Foes, wasn't sure if could mog him in girl form
b) needed time for the stream of tears of a defiled virgin to run its course ;_;
c) accurately deduced that Mikado's battle strategy against female opponents is kissing them, would prefer to throw punches in peace without getting molested fucking yet again
d) other ___

I like the dub better.

If he wants to express emotion or do something that seems feminine, like eat sweets, he transforms into a girl and acts like the most stereotypical woman around (overemotional, uses her looks to her advantage). But he's still a male, so of course he's going to get mad if someone pulls a "you dropped your soap" on him

Alright, watched for myself. So in regard to the being kissed by a man deal, Akane's line >>273413850 got changed >>273451218, Nabiki's line >>273424625 got cut, Ryoga's and Kasumi's lines were kept.

In other words, none of you were right. Can't trust any of you shitters.

Also, I really don't understand the thought process here. Out of all those lines Ryoga's is both the most homophobic on the part of the character and the most explicit reference to homosexuality, but Nabiki's line is the one that gets censored.

>>273444039
>He actually feels girls emotions as a girl or what

I kind of think he does to some extent just because the female form's not an illusion/disguise/etc. (that is, it's not something you could call "fake"), but actually a legitimate biologically female body, and so with a female brain and hormones too. He probably doesn't have exactly the same mind and emotions he does as a guy, but like his own past experiences/self-concept are placed inside the female body's brain so that you can assume emotions/experiences might be felt a bit differently for each form.

>Seems to me like two different characters

Wouldn't go this far but there's def some sense of separation intended by Rumiko, since apparently the anime crew originally wanted Ranma played by a woman who could do both the guy and the girl voices, I guess to make the continuity between Ranma's forms even more pronounced. Rumiko insisted he have separate male and female VAs instead

>>273460378
Also wanted to say but forgot:

That's also probably why people feel pretty comfortable pairing the female Ranma with Ryoga or whoever and don't necessarily see this as "gay," because while Ranma is obviously originally male, he's also a legitimate girl when transformed.

>>273438704
God, it's so fucking HOT that Ranma's first kiss was with a boy...

Okay I found where I might've read it. The Wikipedia page for Ranma the character says

>Takahashi sat in on the voice actor auditions for the anime adaptation and, when both male and female Ranma were going to be voiced by the same actor, she insisted that they be voiced by different actors whose gender corresponded to that of the part.

There's a footnote following that linking to a Japanese article as the original source of that statement (https://natalie.mu/comic/pp/rumic35/page/2#contents2)-- didn't check it out yet but hopefully it's legit. Also I looked on Furinkan because I thought maybe I read it there, and while that wasn't mentioned explicitly one article did imply they anime crew were considering a few different things, like they were deciding between using 2 actors, a man doing a high voice for the girl form, or a woman doing a deep voice for the boy form. The two VAs of Ranma both mention that in their auditions they were told to also try to deliver their lines in as high/low of a voice as they could to see if it'd work for the opposite gender too

>>273460595
Uh in case you're referring to me, I don't think it's that deep bro, I've just been exposed to too much NTR shit

>>273462081
Please do reply with something (even to make fun of me, I'd actually enjoy that) even if you can't help me out, or I will feel like even more of a dumbass.

My deep dark secret is that there is a certain Ranma ½ character I find very attractive. This is a deep dark secret because it makes me feel ashamed. So ashamed that even though I am a Ranma ½ oldfag, it took years and years and years for me to even to realize it because I was repressing the very idea so hard.

Understand, I am no normalfag and none of the normalfag hangups about to attraction to certain arrangements of pixels affect me, thankfully. If I was horny for Ukyo /ss/ or Nabiki poop or Happosai or P-chan, I would accept it without batting an eye.

This character is literally the only fictional character who triggers whatever the fuck this complex is. Thinking this character is hot basically makes me feel like Ranma in this latest episode, sexually humiliated. Though in my case, it's because it feels like I have the most embarrassing, abominable, bottom-of-the-barrel misconception of attractiveness imaginable and I deserve to go down in the record books for "worst taste".

I guess I'm looking for an explanation. The best I can come up with is that I used to dislike this character, but I've long since changed my mind and even find him very relatable. Or maybe it's because he's not considered one of the top attractive characters by other people. Neither one seems to really explain it.

This post sounds ridiculous because my brain is ridiculous but I assure you I'm being honest. Just stupid and probably perverted on some level I can't comprehend.

You're probably wondering what character it is and I don't want to blueball you, but I am not shitting you when I say I chickened out of writing his name in this post, so here: it's P-chan's human form.

I was expecting something much worse from the way you hyped it up. Think like Happosai or something lol

I don't think it's something to be ashamed of; he's a really popular character and I think a lot of people appreciate his more positive traits and how he actually develops across the story.

But I understand what you mean about how you can hate or dislike something and eventually come around to liking it. I don't know if I've felt this way about being attracted to someone before, but I've definitely had moments of hating certain people or pieces of media before slowly coming to realize I liked or at least respected them after all. I think sometimes certain things you reflexively dislike might hold up a mirror to something about yourself you don't appreciate or aren't prepared to confront yet, and that realizing this might change those initial emotions into something more positive once you've had more time to really think about it and sort them out. I'm not sure if that's the case with you, but you relating to this character now made me think of that.

Sorry if this isn't the reply you were expecting and maybe you're just joking anyway, but hey hope it helps. It's really not so weird since a huge portion of these threads are just thirsting over Ranma characters anyway

Yes it is, goddammit, at least give me some credit for spilling my most embarrassing guts where oh so sympathetic people like you can see them. I'm fully aware my brain is a joke but I managed to own up enough to confess on a public message board, so give me that. Don't you think I've been wondering myself how much of the shame is misguided over mundane shit and how much of it is justified?
>rest of spoiler
Ironically, the unspoilered part actually makes it easier for me to believe you actually mean that spoilered part. So, uh, thanks, I do feel better.

>>273462858
>I was expecting something much worse from the way you hyped it up. Think like Happosai or something lol

Hey, I already said in paragraph three that I'd be fine with me lusting for Happosai. Happosai doesn't do it for me personally, but I can see his potential as fap fuel. I guess that makes you less degenerate than me.

>But I understand what you mean about how you can hate or dislike something and eventually come around to liking it. I don't know if I've felt this way about being attracted to someone before, but I've definitely had moments of hating certain people or pieces of media before slowly coming to realize I liked or at least respected them after all.

I'm not sure if that's the case with you, but you relating to this character now made me think of that.

You mean that if I find myself repulsive (true), that may be the root of my shame at finding attraction in someone (even fictional) who displays some of the traits I find repulsive in myself? That seems like it could be the start of a viable explanation.

>Sorry if this isn't the reply you were expecting and maybe you're just joking anyway, but hey hope it helps. It's really not so weird since a huge portion of these threads are just thirsting over Ranma characters anyway
Uh well, when I write an unfiltered post vomiting my brain and two separate people suspect it's comedy, it's really not reassuring me that I don't have brain damage.
But yes, getting it off my chest and into the open and feedback from saner people does help, definitely. Thank you, anon, and I appreciate the long reply.

great character design

Anons, I'm trying to come up with some interesting teen characters for a hypothetical Ranma 1/2: The Next Generation fic, possibly crossing it over with Takahashi's other urban fantasy series like Urusei Yatsura and Inuyasha. Anyone interested in some brainstorming?

To do something a little different with this one, my base scenario is that Ranma didn't end up marrying Akane - thus alienating both the Tendos and his own parents - and instead hooked up with Shampoo. The two of them now live in a "hillbilly" esque cabin in the woods (albeit with things like stolen cable TV), raising livestock, training martial arts, and passing on Saotome Anything Goes to their ever-growing brood of kids. The protagonist of the fic is their eldest son, Rei Za ("Razor") Saotome, as he starts attending Kodenma High and gets into his own love dodecahedron.

Tentative character concepts...
>Son of Akane Tendo & Mousse (being near-blind and using love potions: not a smart plan), Razor's bitterest rival.
>Child of Ryoga and Azusa Shiratori (Mousse decided he was NOT going to put up with P-chan once he and Akane were married).
>Daughter of Ataru Moroboshi and Lum. One of fraternal decuplet sisters (Lum shouldn't have eaten those caramels of Ten's whilst she was pregnant!) Leaning towards basically being a female equivalent to her dad when he was a teen.
>Daughter of Ran and Rei. Spoiled sweet girly girl with a tomboy streak. Inherited her dad's monster shifting power (she becomes an ushi-oni; a cow-headed giant spider) and appetite, which she's ashamed of.
>Child of Ryuunosuke and Nagisa.
>Child of Shippo and Sōten, trying their best to pretend to be a normal human and not doing very well at it.

But, yeah, need to sit down and really hammer at this idea seed to make it workable...

No, that scene is from Shampoo's first episode when she returns to the series after getting cursed. It probably won't be until cour 2... then again, there's actually only one arc - the Neko-ken - between Shampoo's departure and return, so maybe it might get into this cour. Depends on how many episodes.

>>273462858
Psychoanalysis fag, in case you're still here, I think you really were onto something.

So I had an issue with the "mirror to yourself" - I have admired characters and even had a waifu with some of the same relatable-but-reflexively-dislikeable-in-me traits, but never felt the shame before. Then it came to me, those other characters were treated as antagonists, they had episodes of being mocked and shunned, and my waifu wound up in utter disgrace and literally begging. Maybe the in-story humiliations punished their too relatable traits, which opened the door to appreciate the character guilt-free.

I could be remembering wrong, but unlike those other characters, I don't think Ranma ½ canon lets Ryoga be genuinely destroyed very much. He fails and is the butt of the joke, but at the end of the day the other characters and the author treat him kindly and he's saved from becoming a shit-covered laughingstock. But if I let myself go back to hating this character and in my own mind shit on him for being a desperate simping imbecile (just like me!), I feel less ashamed about wanting to see his abs. (Look at me, I even managed to write his name!)

So I think you are probably right, and I'm just suffering from a deficit of you-know-who character bashing and humiliation porn.

Both the old and new anime did the kiss well, but the old anime went harder on the out of nowhere shock to Ranma (who got cut off midsentence by Mikado's lips) and the new anime made it a slower, more sexually charged predator snaring the prey (that dip and looming shadow, hot).

Gosunkugi was hilarious. He acts like he can scheme like the rest of the cast, but instead he's just so obvious. It's a great gag.

>>273466159
Hardly anything special on Gosunkugi's part. Hell, Sasuke from the original anime could have set up that encounter with the tiger, and in fact he did. Outside of that one scene, Gosunkugi was just a generic pathetic nice guy wanna-be and stalker; people only remember him for his failed attempts at cursing Ranma, and he only does that two or three times in the manga.

>>273466160
Exactly! Hell, that's why I like Sasuke so much; Sasuke has a unique dynamic as Kuno's minion who is genuinely loyal to him, but who also tries to keep Kuno from falling victim to his own stupidity. He's a genuinely sympathetic little twerp in his own way, but at the same time, his loyalty to Kuno means you don't feel bad for him when Ranma beats his ass either.

For example JJK, a much shorter and more condensed story, its anime is 47 episodes in, stopping currently at chapter 137. That’s effectively the halfway mark. Ranma’s got a little over 400 chapters. Even if you gut half of the manga just to make it to the Phoenix Mountain arc as quickly as possible you’re not getting 200 chapters worth of content in 24?episodes or less, you’re just not.
