She sicc'ed her champion battle pig on random high school boys. Like literally everyone in this series, she's got something wrong with her.

>>274099596
I just think her fucked up-ness is more insidious. We don't spend enough time with her to cite specifics about it though, so for now it's just my headcanon.
>>
>>274099469
>Who did you vote for?
Shampoo. Because even though she's done more bad things overall, iirc she also showed the occasional kindness/mercy while Akari's a moral blank slate due to lack of screentime. Hurt to vote though because Akari is much cuter.
>>
I don't know if this is exactly "morality," but I disliked Akari when she was like
>well if Ryoga doesn't like pigs I'll just make myself HATE pigs!
because since pigs are supposed to be her life/passion it just made her seem really shallow. Maybe the intention was more "noble" because she'd give up her passion for him or whatever, but it just made it seem like she never gave that much of a shit about what she was supposedly so into in the first place

Also she just kinda came into the story too late
>>
>>274099705
I knew a bitch like that in college. She'd change her likes/dislikes depending on who she was in a relationship with to match theirs. Disingenuous as fuck.
>>
>>274099705
She's just a passionate girl who takes relationships seriously.
>>
>>274099184
Speaking of Akari, I remember people criticizing her and Konatsu as low-effort love interests, but I recently reread Akari's chapters and she is better written as an introduced-to-be-a-love-interest character than I remembered. Her being a custom-designed match for Ryoga goes beyond "loves pigs lol".

Not done rereading Konatsu's chapters, but so far that's also way better written than the critics make out.

She was acting like a homicidal maniac in this last episode over something that was explicitly not Ranma's fault.
She treated him like shit, talked bad about him, even made a doll of him to beat up and later rip to pieces.
And he did nothing wrong.
Nothing.

She is toxic as fuck, how does she have fans? Crazy.

Based anon, you belong to the more intelligent viewers of Ranma and I appreciate you for that. Be careful though, this will trigger hardcore Tsunkanefags and gaslight you.

Also schizos who like Akane and defend her shitty behavior must hate Ranma because they always blame him. Ranma is mostly a good guy who gets dragged into tricky situations and is misunderstood but sadly Akanefags are so obsessed with their shitty dykehair character that they'll do and say anything to ignore her shit personality and make her look like an angel.

Most violence in the show doesn't really hurt the characters. The very purpose of the rumic hand sign is to show that the characters aren't seriously hurt. It's slapstick. People who whine about characters hitting each other in Ranma fundamentally misunderstand the nature of the manga and honestly don't deserve to call themselves fans.

Lmao Akane's empathy works at intermittency and even then all you have to say about her is " she is nice"
Imagine liking a character only because the character is halfway a good person, and also claiming said character is "better" based on moral faggotry rules, in the same manga where ryoga sleeps in akanes bed mind you without her knowledge .

Are you upset at the fact Chimpoo isn't even a halfway good person? Kek.

Either way you don't get to have it both ways. When the crux of the criticism is that she's a bad person, of course, people are going to point out the simple fact she's better than most characters(especially ShamPOO) at being a good person.

You are forgetting the character roles and the framework around them.
Shampoo is framed as evil, just like kuno or kodachi or even nabiki sometimes, they are framed as evil or with a fucked moral compass so there is consistency, they are supposed to be obstancles/annoyances, Akane is framed as the most reasonable and pure person which doesn't quite compute with her violent outburts which even kasumi calls out.

Nah, it takes a lady splashing some water to turn him into a girl, and he also used a glass of water to turn himself into a girl. It's just that Rumiko didn't care about those details because the plot isn't about the difficulties of the curse, it's for laughs.

How does it not have a framework?
The series gives us clear character motivations and conflicts, we constantly see things from the characters points of view, usually Ranma or Akane, and we’re shown plenty of their inner monologues, decisions, and thought processes. This adds depth to their actions and relationships. It’s not just like tom and jerry, plenty of romcoms have frameworks

Because Rumiko specifically designed Shampoo to be incredibly cute. That's why Akane is so jealous of her with Ranma. Of course, the entire bit is despite Ranma obviously being flustered, he never stops thinking about Akane.

"Q. Shampoo, who is courting Ranma, is Akane's rival. Please tell us how Shampoo's character was created, what makes her so appealing, and what interested you about the relationship between Ranma, Akane, and Shampoo.
A. She was created because I wanted to include a Chinese girl. I particularly like the name Shampoo. I wanted to give her a name that wasn't a repetitive one like Linlin or Ranran. I was glad to bring Shampoo back into the story after she'd been absent for a time. I did that through a chapter about Ranma's fear of cats. Thanks to her cat transformation, Ranma wasn't overwhelmed by Shampoo's aggressive behavior. Between Akane and Shampoo, Akane is at a disadvantage."

Shampoo is crazier though. It's telling when Shampoo offers food, and Ranma has to ask if she did something to it.

Kodachi is at least obvious about her schizophrenia. Shampoo borders on serial killer, because people think they can trust her

Ranma has a very mercurial personality. I'm not sure if he's multi-faceted or just inconsistent. In some filler episodes he's portrayed as a Tenchi Muyo-esque passive, put-upon everyman; in other stories he's very ambitious and proactive. In some stories he's a silly light-hearted prankster, in others he's entirely serious. I don't get him.

>>
>>274125025
Mousse could conceivably always have beaten her. He just won't, because he can't stand hurting her. He's Takahashi's parody of the nutless Chinese man that has all the strength and talent he needs but is too blind to recognize that and cripples himself out of devotion, praying that if patient, the cause that doesn't care about him will come to love him.

Also I guess to add on: okay if we're being real it actually says a lot about RANMA's character over Akane's that he doesn't hit her even when she asks him to, while Akane always takes that opportunity when Ranma does the same (and also, more frequently, when he doesn't) and thereby shows herself to be worse

But it'd simply please my primitive lizard brain to see him just fucking knock her block off

I really like Ranma, both forms, and I think lately he doesn't get enough credit within the fandom with the apparent dominance of Akane fans and the narrative that he's always wrong. Like it feels like plenty of people like Ranma as a series, but it feels like I don't see many who like Ranma as a person/character outside of his dynamic with Akane. I like his creativity in the fights and how he's talented/prideful but in a way he can actually justify, and is willing to push himself and improve. I think he's an overall decent person and I like how there are moments where you can get a glimpse at his emotions in a way that makes his life feel pretty sympathetic. Overall he just feels unique and fun as a protagonist, especially for a guy.

My favorite character is probably Kuno, maybe just because the old anime used him a lot in filler and made him more prominent overall, and maybe just because asshole rival characters can be pretty funny. I think I just really like his dynamic of being into Ranma's girl form while being a rival to his guy form, and also the whole sort of angle with him being a samurai weeaboo type and living/speaking in an anachronistic way. He also has the same kind of resilience as Ranma that I find pretty admirable in characters. I feel like me being a fan of Kuno but disliking Akane would make people assume the worst about me, but I actually like Akane during the moments where she hits Kuno because, unlike with Ranma, Kuno deserves it like 95% of the time (literally grabs/gropes her out of nowhere).

Kodachi is fun just through how crazy she is and how she fights in a pretty unique way. I used to think I didn't like Shampoo much because of the broken Japanese/English, but she's grown on me lately too.

As for manga characters I'm hoping to see in the reboot? Herb, the female form is cute and I'm hoping for a fun voice/visual contrast between the forms. I like the concept of an enemy character who's going through the same shit as Ranma
>>
>>274125025
Doesn't really matter; as Shampoo notes in the Reversal Jewel arc, whilst the law may state that she's honorbound to wed a man who beats her, her heart is still her own, so she won't let herself go to someone she doesn't like.

And brother, she does NOT like Mousse. She makes it clear throughout the series she hates him. She thinks he's a weak, whiny, simpering, sniveling, pathetic excuse for a man.

Honestly, I'd see Shampoo being more willing to let Ukyo or Akane use some Instant Nanniichuan and knock her up than she would to spread her legs for Mousse.

I think placid characters aren't usually my favorites but they can be okay sometimes... not to go back to Sailor Moon too much but Ami is a character who I don't have anything against personally, but who instead feels like she gets used by the writers in an annoying way (I'd like to see her actually BE smart instead of just talk about studying every episode). It's like I actually want to like her, but they don't do enough with her to make me like her in a typical episode.

I think with Kasumi/Dr. Tofu, like with Akane fans, there's just kind of an instant backlash for me where people want to present them as "the ~purest~ characters in Ranma," but I'm just not seeing what everyone else is seeing. Kasumi feels like she's kind of inadvertently said/done some things that emotionally fucked up both Ranma and Akane but it kind of goes unnoticed and mostly she's just in kind of a stereotypical housewife role that's pretty boring. I wish she had more going on. Dr. Tofu injuring Ranma feels shady to me and he mostly feels like a character meant to tell the audience to like Akane. He's just too tied up in her for me to appreciate much about him on his own, and he vanishes fairly quickly anyway. Also he's not that hot even though I think he's supposed to be.

Yeah sorry for the long post. How about you though? Any Ranma characters you like/dislike?

What, like morally? I'm not really arguing she's a bad person (or that the rest of the cast are great people by comparison), but more that there's just not enough happening there with her for me to really find her admirable or anything. I just don't feel much about her rather than outright disliking her.
>>
>>
>>274128167
>Kasumi feels like she's kind of inadvertently said/done some things that emotionally fucked up both Ranma and Akane but it kind of goes unnoticed

I know her advice to Akane ended up not doing much good, but that's about it. And that was definitely small potatoes.
>>
>>274128309
Yeah that was one of the things I'm thinking of. Also as a Ranma fan, I do think that stuff like her and Nabiki instantly pushing him off on Akane (not because of Akane herself but just the implied attitude of "lol I don't want this freak") or referring to Ranma as a girl/making him wear girls' clothes/laughing at him for being kissed by a guy/etc. probably made him feel like shit about his curse early on.

Again, I'm not saying she's actually intended to come off that bad within the narrative, but when those small negative things she does unintentionally are maybe the most interesting aspect of her character, she just doesn't do much for me. Nabiki's usually doing the same type of shit alongside her in those early chapters, but also has more of a unique role in the story that makes her more interesting as a character on her own.
>>
>>274128309
Kasumi was the one who spearheaded the idea that Akane should be engage to Ranma "because Akane doesn't like boy", she gives Akane a hammer and warns her to use it on Ranma if he "tries anything funny" when the two are left home alone together for the first time, she brings in a hoard of cat to try and "help" Ranma get over his ailurophobia...

What if Kasumi knows that Dr. Tofu likes her and she just thinks that he's cringe?

Yeah certainly. Ranma is actually way too much of a coward with women to ever actually be able to do anything. Even in the last volume when he admitted his love to an seemingly unconscious Akane, he backtracked and pussied out when he realised Akane actually heard him after all. And then when Akane finally agreed to marrying him, he still had to be forced to wear the wedding clothes by his father and Tendo. He is not a coward when fighting though, Akane should certainly challenge him to martial sex.

I don't like Moroboshi because he's a very rapey loser character, which can be fun to read about but when you read about someone too much you subconsciously absorb some of the personality traits of him or her, and I don't want to become a rapey loser in real life.
However one thing that is absolutely commendable in Ataru is that he is very confident and fearless, something which Ranma is not. Ranma is just a heavy narcissist which makes it impossible for him to accept defeat when fighting, which is why he appears so persistent at times. But essentially he's just a coward. Meanwhile Ataru does whatever the hell he wants to without any thoughts towards the repercussions, a true free-spirit.

There were maybe like ~2 minor arcs that got skipped entirely (most famously Yoiko) but for the most part the rest of the arcs up to that point made it in, though some of their content got cut/changed around/had stuff added, so watching them isn't exactly like reading the manga stories even if the general plot concepts are the same. There were 12 OVAs that came out afterward and while a few of them are filler, most of them adapted later manga arcs. They jumped around after Vol. 22 though and didn't adapt the stuff afterward in a strict order. The movies are filler except for the half-hour phoenix one, but that's usually included as an OVA on anime sites even though it came out in theaters.

There was a lot of filler, maybe like slightly less than half the episodes. You can't really blame them because the anime really quickly caught up to the manga; ex. the first 2 seasons are almost entirely manga canon (minus one filler episode and a clipshow, both in S1), but by S3 they were pretty much caught up to the manga volumes being released at the time and so each season started having chunks of filler. Sometimes the filler was added to manga arcs to kind of pad them out, especially early on, other times it brings back manga characters that were only in one arc like Tsubasa or Azusa, other times it's just original stories featuring the regular cast. Some people say it feels like they trying too hard to be like Urusei Yatsura. I've seen a Japanese fan say the ways you can easily tell a filler episode from a manga canon episode are:
1. Ranma and Akane seem to hang out more in filler (not sure about this, they seem to hang out a lot in the manga too)
2. Female Ranma acts girlier even when she's not putting on an act
3. You might see a lot of the regular cast interacting at a time like pic related; generally they seem to be more like frenemies in the anime

The original anime aired 161 episodes, concluding with an animated adaptation of Nodoka's introductory story, and ended in September 1992, whilst Takahashi's manga wouldn't end until March, 1996. It also featured something 12 OAVs (officially 11, but the "third movie" was really a glorified 12th OAV) and two films.

The anime's adaptation ended halfway into volune 22, with chapter 229, though the very first OAV would adapt the next four chapters - the Reversal Jewel arc.

Yes, there was a lot of filler. The manga began in August 1987 and the anime in April 1989 - that first studio actually went bankrupt after animating the first season, which concluded with Shampoo's introductory arc, and a second studio with MUCH cheaper production values picked it up in October 1989, leading to the notoriously janky-looking seasons 2 and 3. As >>274136379 said, the anime VERY quickly caught up to the manga, and so fillers were necessary to keep pace with the manga.

Honestly, I don't mind most of the anime's filler, though I do admit it does feel kind of strange that they chose to compress the fairly long Nabiki as Ranma's fiancee arc and the Pantyhose Taro into a one-episode and two-episode adaptation, when they probably could have been stretched into a 2 episode and 3 episode adaptation easily - add more of Nabiki's weird 'flirting' to make it seem genuinely possible she could be hiding feelings for Ranma, flesh out the crazy shit Happosai does whilst Ranma tries to hypnotize him into changing Taro's name...

So is Akane's dialogue there supposed to be a blue streak of profanity or just incoherent rage?
>>
>>274136557
In Ranma's head, everything she says is incomprehensible nonsense.

Been rewatching the old anime, seems like a lot of filler episodes don't do Akane any favors. Often it feels like they turn her cunt meter up to 11 for no good reason
Meanwhile Shampoo gets way more appearances than she does in the manga thanks to filler and is generally nicer/friendlier than she is in the manga, though of course plenty of episodes revolve around her schemes
Same applies to Kodachi to a lesser extent

Promo art is better than whatever garbage is in the actual show. Female Ranma even has bigger tits. What did MAPPA mean by this?
>>
Why is pervkane disturbing the bros while they're having a bonding session?
>>
>>274103947
This isn't controversial. This is fact.

Ranma and Akane are the typical toxic but working relationship/ Ranma is a narcissist and Akane is bi-polar. But they try to make it work because they only care about eachother.

They're literally made for eachother. And you'd be crazy to think if they'd have a fulfilling relationship with anyone else.

If Ryoga actually got Akane, she would probably break his heart if she treated him like she does Ranma, always jealous and blaming him.

And Shampoo would break too, if Ranma would starts talking down to her and berating like he does to Akane.

>>274137604
Yeah, noticed that a huge amount of episodes had Ranma and Akane always near eachother. And if they didn't start the episode together, they'd somehow end up in the same spot, like that Ranma the playboy episode, which was mostly Ukyo and Shampoo fighting
>>
>>274137568
Akane would probably be a lot nicer to Ryoga. I like Ranma a lot but he is enough of a jerk that he loses his benefit of the doubt. Akane is nice with nice people.
>>
>>274137627
Ranma fag actually. Just being truthul

Or does it bother you that Shampoo wouldn't take it well if Ranma started talking to Shampoo like he does to Akane?

They're literally the only ones who can handle eachother, keep eachother in check.

But she doesn't care about Ryoga the same way she does with Ranma.

Have you ever been in a relationship with a narcissist or a bi-polar person? They're literally that

It happens. Or at least in fiction. See taming of the shrew

Ryoga is to Akane as Ukyo is to Ranma: permafriendzoned.

>Akane is nice to nice people
>Akanefags sugarcoating her shitty behavior against Ranma
Ah classic
>>
>>274137670
it doesn't bother me to see akanefags say so, but i just honestly don't know how Shampoo would react in this scenario because "Ranma and Akane are made for each other, the only people who can handle each other," etc. just feels like a typical shipper talking point that sounds good but doesn't actually mean anything because out of universe they were always going to end up together anyway, and to me that's what it feels like drives their relationship more than anything

they're together because they are characters in a story in which they had no choice but to be together and otherwise i can't see any other appeal

Shampoo is just the superior woman. Followed by female Ranma. Period.

Shampoo is a retard that doesn't have enough dignity to find a man that actually wants her. It's sad really.

ONE, only one is the role model and that is Kasumi, Nabiki doesn't care to whore Akane out

you can probably eat them if you want to

Can probably at the minimum cook for herself, and unlike Kasumi is still in the market for a husband that might be worth a shit. Nabiki went the intellect route; Akane just hit stuff like the dumb ape she is, and isn't even good at that.

>>274137757
No, Japanese men need to just be better huggers.

Nabiki was Rumiko's editor favorite character during Ranma after all

Akane is academically smart btw. All the Tendo girls can make it on their own.

Never once shown or mentioned, she is mediocrity incarnate.

>>274137840
About what? Ranma wants Akane.
>>
>>
>>274138186
Ranma wants to be left alone, and be cured. If Akane happens to come along with that package, so be it, but given how the series ends I have my doubts.

>>274138180

You don't read the manga. We are literally shown she has good grades in the stolen test arc.
>>
>>274138186
about her inferiority complex towards Shampoo ofc
>>
>>274138301
Fuck me, I forgot that arc even happened. You are correct. I haven't read the manga in about 15 years.

For reference. She calls her score of 86 "So So" meaning she usually scores even higher.
