My brother, before the remake 99% of Ranma threads were just image dumps. That's it. These threads are worth jack and shit and the same is true for all other image dump generals like madoka and shounen generals. /a/ is filled with low quality threads.

Not OP but I'm the Akanefag who was trying to make Ranma threads a regular thing as the storytime threads were coming to an end. It wasn't all that bad in the early days. I thought the worst was over once the nippleschizo was slowing down with his spam but now these threads are being plagued by even worse retards. Just our luck. The early threads might not have been the highest quality threads but at least they were chill and had like some nice discussion.

What did she do to you?

So, here's the thing; the manga is full of 1 to 2 chapter long "comedy-centric" stories that are kind of nothingburgers in the long run - Ukyo's friend with the cursed spatula that wants to be a clothes iron, that perverted kid who wants Ranma-as-girl to kiss him medicine, the old matron ghost who wants Happosai to steal her hideously ugly panties, the two kids who mistake Happosai for Santa Clause, the female panda doodle who wants a date with Ranma, things like that.

At the same time, we know that this anime isn't going to get the hundreds of episodes of runtime it'd need to adapt every single Ranma 1/2 manga story. They've managed to squeeze 4 volumes worth of chapters into 12 episodes, but who knows how many cours we'll get.

So, what 1-chapter stories or even whole arcs do you think this anime is likely to give the chop in the name of getting to the "important stuff"?

Hell, are there any "padding" type stories you WISH they'd give the chop?

Why did Shampoo :( to :) so fast with boy Ranma?

Per the Jusenkyo guide, the Amazons see losing to an outsider as a dishonor worse than death. That means the legally required marriage to a foreign male victor should be seen as a "fallen woman taking responsibility for her disgraced state" deal, not "handsome prince wedding of my dreams" like Shampoo treats it.

>inb4 it's because Ranma's hot
She met boy Ranma shortly before he "defeated" her and didn't show any particular attraction to him.

>inb4 it's because Ranma's a great martial artist
She didn't know that before she started fawning over him.
>>

>>274153034
Eh I kinda get it, it's like a typical romance/shoujo thing. Like a woman whose entire lifestyle is focused on fighting would see being defeated by an even stronger man as an ideal, like they're the only man "worthy" enough to be their romantic partner.

Like losing to a woman would've been shameful and meant she failed in her duty; learning it was actually a man is romantic. Kind of like a line a filler scene had in the old anime, where Dr. Tofu says something about Akane being so focused on training all the time that probably the only man who could be her husband is someone even stronger than her. Or the whole thing with Kuno thinking the only person worthy of dating Akane is someone who can defeat her in combat.

It just seems to be kind of a thing in Ranma where like
>losing to someone of your own gender = shameful
>losing to someone of the opposite sex = romantic, now you have to marry this person
>>
>>274154174
Also I guess yeah you could say the Amazon laws don't write it that way and that maybe it's SUPPOSED to be seen as shameful in their eyes for Shampoo to marry Ranma, but maybe Shampoo's just unusually romantic and sees this as an easy way to get a husband, especially since her role in the story isvaguely an analogue to Lum

Jouketsu family is walmart Oniboshi alien race.
Shampoo is supposed to be a more raw and villainous Lum in order to not repeat the UY fiasco. However, the 80s anime toned down Shampoo's more menhera and yandere traits because, at that moment, she was the most popular character and some sort of salvation for Ranma anime. A reminder the 1st anime was axed due to losing against Mobile Detective Jiban and a gag sketch show and had to be retooled, have several budget cuts and be sent to another timeslot to work. Making Shampoo more dere, make Ranma more cool, macho, womanizer and stoic (in the manga, he was more of an arrogant and hotheaded motormouth who always talked and acted on impulse and was a failure at proving he was manly and was the 1st to fall for Akane, she ended up deciding for Ranma after ryugenzaka cyapters, as she was more indecisive and gave more attention to Ryouga or Shinnosuke, although in the anime, Akane actually hated Ranma and blamed him and his existence for her misfortune and disgraces. In the manga, she just saw Ranma as someone more childish and unreliable than his rivals, but never looked at him with contempt)
>>
>>274156849
yeah I agree. Pink hair and pink eyes make Ranko look like a cheap chinese figurine.
>>
>>274147603
Even in Japan a lot of UY's popularity was due to the anime, not the manga. So, yeah, a remake tied to the manga, ignoring all bizarre anime stuff would always take a hit in popularity.

Ranma had much more filler, but all the popular stuff is from the manga and the filler was mostly dragging down the original anime even if it had a few good episodes.

This OAV also sidelined all other characters and had the most interesting version of Akane.

>>
The problem with Akane is she's a poochie level character. She can be violent and antagonizing, but the character and plot always bend over backwards to either justify or defend here. Akane can never be 'wrong.' You can tell she's Rumiko's self-insert.
>>
How is Ranma generally received in China ? is it considered racist?
>>
>>274167447
To me this is kind of the difference between Lum and Akane and why I like one and dislike the other. Lum can definitely get violent too but there are also plenty of times where Ataru is just like "fuck off Lum" or deliberately does something against her, and in general it makes things feel more even between them because there's more give and take, like both of them can be shitty to one another and it's not treated as a moral issue the majority of the time. With Ranma, Akane's almost always framed as being more sympathetic and in the right.

It actually surprises me how so many people see the relationship of Ranma and Akane as more "equal" than other Rumiko series because to me it feels like Ranma's always gonna end up being treated as wrong next to Akane while at least in Urusei Yatsura there's a little more variance about who's going to be the bigger asshole in each story.

No. English speakers mangle Chinese culture with their works more than Japan does (with the exception of Kung Fu Panda).

All other works featuring China in the West is a hodgepodge of China, Japan, Korea, and SEA because they couldn't be bothered to research deeper.

I'm watching Ranma alongside Dandadan, and to me the latter encapsulates two characters bickering with one another, while also showing affection. I know Ranma arguably becomes worse as the series goes on- more egotistical, but especially in these early episodes, I'm half sitting here wondering, "why would Ranma particularly care if Akane calls the engagement off?"

You're expecting these people to have read the manga or even watched the anime but then again what do you expect from people who still think Akane is Rumiko's self-insert.

>>274168127
No I am not, the entire manga is universally better than the anime. other than the OVAS almost all of the anime is unwatchably bad. and other than having a decent dub and megumi hayashibara;s star power the writing, pacing, and characterization of every manga character is simply superior.

>>274168150
Akane is a retard who cant figure out pchan. the idea that everyone thinks shes treated as always in the right is preposterous. You really do get the sense that its all fanon and anime onlies. but it's always been this way, tsunderes just mind break certain types of people. retards i guess.

Yeah, it's a pretty typical female self-insert trait. Being bad at cooking a quirky charm point. Akane is also framed as being incredibly desirable, and made to play the damsel on multiple occasions. Men went to feel powerful. Women want to feel wanted.

Then you should have no problem pointing out plenty of other examples then. Girl characters being bad cooks and being played for laughs is typical of male authors writing women not self-inserts.

Almost all character flaws in Ranma are played off as charm points including Shampoos violence and Happosai's perversion.

People thought she was Shinobu when she was Lum all along.
>>
>>274167811
Exactly! Yes, Lum does a lot of nasty shit to Ataru, such as her electric shocks, but it's also blatantly shown and stated over and over that a) Lum openly loves Ataru, and b) Ataru is often a serious asshole to her, doing things like stand Lum up on a date so he can hit on other women while she's waiting for him, or literally duck out on her as she's baring her soul to him to hit on another girl. This makes Lum zapping Ataru seem quite karmic.

Akane, meanwhile, is more consistently a jerk to Ranma, and clearly is held to a double standard where Ranma is always the bad guy for hurting Akane's feelings even when she physically overreacts and/or starts the fight in the first place. Hell, their entire bickering dynamic can be placed SQUARELY at Akane's feet; Ranma was perfectly polite and nice to everybody when he first showed up, he didn't start being mean to Akane until she started insulting him for the crime of... her walking in on him when they were both naked.

>>274168071
Yes, Akane does some nice things even in their earliest stories, like when she tries to keep Kuno from discovering Ranma's cursed form or piggybacks Ranma home after Tofu gives him dead legs. But, realistically, she doesn't do anywhere near enough to bring her karmic account out of the red.

Really, the biggest issue with Ranma & Akane's relationship is that it feels too much like "they love each other because the Author Said So". Hell, even the 1989 anime tried to improve things like with that added sequence in P-chan's debut story where Ranma has to rescue P-chan from some rich old weirdo's goons because he wants to do something nice for Akane, Akane genuinely helps Ranma, and he genuinely thanks her for helping him... until she ruins it with her tsundere schtick.

>>274168112
Bitch, please, everything bad about Akane CAME from the manga. The animes did nothing but add voice overs and sound effects.

It's a typical type of negative trait that isn't particularly that negative, and is relatable. Being a self-insert doesn't mean they're a total mary sue. Kagome is a self-insert as wel. The young school girl who gets whisked off by a handsome demon man that will defend her with his life, while she conveniently holds his literal collar? That's Twilight over a decade before Twilight.

No, the new anime has portrayed her as being right, while also doing some horrible things. Episode three was particularly bad, where she basically said she hurts Ranma because she cares. Straight abusive behavior. But it's narratively framed as Ranma being wrong. Latest episode also had something similar where the story got 'serious' for a moment, when she slapped girl-Ranma, and Ranma mumbled, 'Akane-san.'

People like you should stick to reddit. Not only is this wrong but also misses the entire premise of the comedy in Ranma 1/2 i.e.misunderstandings leading to slapstick.

Talking about karma is so fucking mindnumbing that it's baffling. Genma has "technically" sold his son off, stolen the livelihood of other people, traumatised his son with abuse. His mother wanted to kill him unless he was manly. Yet, neither of them are villains in the story. Hell, they're showed as loveable.

I'm convinced mongs like you read fanfics and fanfics alone. How else can someone be oblivious to the entire tone of the manga? It's retarded beyond compare.

Nobody knew how strong Ryoga was at that point. Ryoga manages to cut Ranma in the fight literally because he underestimated him.

Except Ranma. Who previously knew Ryoga. And so what if he'd gotten stronger? What is the information being conveyed? "Ranma, this martial arts match you're about to partake in features an opponent who is strong." Okay? Is there a way that would substantially help Ranma? Does specifically getting into the middle of the fight they're having, and distracting Ranma to give this information help him?

And she attempted to convey this by stepping in the middle of their fight. Not from the sidelines, where a simple, "watch out Ranma! He's stronger than he looks!" would have explained that information. She took it upon herself to get right in the center there, and acted like telling Ranma this would be putting Ryoga's greatest weakness right on display. When it really was nothing.

It was an obnoxious display of main character syndrome. "Wow, Ryoga is stronger than I thought. I NEED to tell Ranma this no matter what," and when Ranma didn't appreciate interrupting the fight to 'learn' this trivial information, she made it all about herself, and acted like Ranma didn't care about her. Climaxing with a really stupid slap, as if Ranma had done anything particularly wrong.

She only started to become nicer to him after Ryuugenzaka and only because she saw Ranma's more psychopathic self (he was trigger happy to btfo and murder Shinnosuke to death only because he was irrationally jealous). Before that, she even has more consideration for Ranma's rivals and enemies, almost as if it was a stealth sadistic NTR story and only uses Ranma as a punching bag to feel herself more important.

Looking back, the bitter end is the closest attempt to depict Akane's issue in a more realistic way. Because, if this was a more grounded wuxia romcom, Ranma would have been a constant victim of domestic violence and raise the alarms.
However, author was an Ukyoufag, so there's some shipping bias there.

That's exactly what she does you fanfic reading midwit. She warns him from the sidelines to keep distance between himself and Ryoga because Ryoga was much stronger than he seemed initially. She only interfered when Ranma transforms into his (weaker) female form. It pays to actually watch the show.

And there was no reason for this. Why was she getting involved? The whole thing was frankly disrespectful. Treating Ranma like some idiot weakling who couldn't handle anything. Again, it's a weird moment of main character syndrome, where she couldn't possibly comprehend someone else had control over a situation, or, in the very least, to not place herself in someone else's business. This wasn't her fight.

The disrespect she shows is actually pretty consistent early in the series. She'd previously done that with Kuno as well, when Kuno left a mark on Ranma. She regularly underestimates him in the early volumes.

Here are the official stats. Ranma is mildly weaker as a girl, but still has overall higher statistics than Ryoga. Akane is very, very, very much weaker than a lot of people, and should not intervene in a dangerous fight like this. Akane disrespected Ranma's capabilities have overestimating her own, and antagonized him when he didn't divert all attention towards her.
>>
>>274170642
These stats are "official" in the sense it's published by the magazine but are not from Rumiko Takahashi herself because she does not deal with power level bullshit. Genma invented Umi Sen Ken but is supposedly considerably weaker than Ryu. Tatewaki is also weaker than Kodachi apparently. Ranma's strength relative to Ryoga doesn't stay the same throughout the series. He only notably gets stronger after training with Cologne.
>>
>>274169380
Ukyo is not sexy though. She may be good wife material but she's not appealing to the coomer senses which is what drives these results.

>>274170732
Either way, girl-Ranma isn't dangerously weaker than in male form. Mildly disadvantaged, maybe, but not to the point of where getting splashed meant Ranma was imminently about to get BTFOed.

It's the classic "don't love you, fucking hate you and only feel slme pity for you bc i love someone else (Tofu, Ryouga, Shinnosuke), but don't dare doing the same shit i do with YOUR suitors (Shampoo, Kodachi, Ukyou)".
She only became nicer to Ranma after seeing how dangerous, violent and psychopathic he can be (he was about to murder Shinnosuke if not for Akane who slapped him).
>>
>>274170747
At least she's more conventionally attractive compared to Shampoo who's basically all make up and slutty dresses.
>>
>>274171027

I like Ukyo but this is just false.
>>
>>274170760
"Either way" you just proved you know very little about Ranma. It's like your information comes from reading fanfics, wikias, and "guides" instead of actually watching the show or reading the manga. You were outright wrong on multiple things in this exchange and just moved goalposts each time you were proven wrong.
>>
>>274171058
Ukyo is a cross dresser but is very feminine.
>>
>>274171100
No. I'm right. Ranma is not notably weaker as a girl, to the point of it being particularly detrimental. The biggest detriment to Ranma being a girl is she has shorter reach due to physically being smaller, as seen with Mousse. But girl-Ranma isn't the weakling Mage's porn makes her out to be.
>>
>>274171118
I mean she does behave very feminine when Ranma flirts with her but in general she is a tomboy. She has herself admitted that she has left life as a woman and has devoted her life to becoming the best okonomiyaki chef which is pretty ambitious for a female.

The recent spates of shitposting made me realize I cannot perceive Shampoo's famous sexiness at all. Cute yes, hot no. The only parts of her which are hot are animeonly, her voice and her 1989 nudes. In the manga, basically all the major characters except Genma and Happosai are sexier. She is like a Kyoani moeblob to me, cute but incapable of hotness. There, that's my confession.

For me it's the voice that ruins it. It's too squeaky and high pitched.
>>
>>274170894
The katana shit was foreshadowed, even though it was badly executed AND the context has some historical inaccuracies.
In the author notes, the author said giving anything that cuts to a friend or as a wedding present is considered an ill fated gift because it's a symbol the friendship, or marriage in this case, will be cut short.
Everything fine with that... if only the author did a bit more of a research and realized that myth is actually a western one. The actual japanese myth says that giving katanas to a newlywed couple means a commitment to honor, loyalty and ensures the strength of the couple bonds.
But whatever... there was less access to information back then.
>>
>>274171691
>The only parts of her which are hot are animeonly, her voice and her 1989 nudes
Shampoo doesn't come as sexy, but as slutty most of times.
And the manga made more obvious she's basically a psycho menhera yandere. All her "cuteness" gets tainted by her insanity.
>>
>>274168107
Uh, Akane was 100% in the wrong there. She just bullied her dad into submission. That wasn't a 'Akane is right' moment.
>>
>>274172241
She's in the wrong. The narrative does nothing to acknowledge it though. Her dad lightly suggested she might be overreacting, and she antagonized him until he stopped talking. There isn't, and won't be a moment where Akane has to reflect on her attitude. Given the way Takahashi writes, Akane will be a violent tsundere into her 60, when she has grandchildren.
>>
>>274168392
The series frequently treats Akane as wrong. She is described as a violent maniac. Including by Ranma. Does Ranma love her anyway? Yes. Does that mean she isn't? No.

If you watched this episode and felt that Akane is treated as 'right' for her overreactions, I don't know what to tell you. She is treated as 'having some reason to mistrust Ranma' but her reaction is definitely considered overblown by the narrative.
>>
>>274172312
No. The episode in particular did that bullshit thing where Akane slapped Ranma, and everything got needlessly serious. Akane can be a 'violent maniac,' and it's all treated as goodhearted slapstick humor. Until she needs to make Ranma REALLY feel bad. Then the music gets quiet, and the actors put on their serious voices.

The tone of the series bends to her will. Any bad violence is "comedic," and you "shouldn't take it seriously." Until you should take it seriously, then it's "justified." She's a double-standard tsundere. You can't win against her.
>>
>>274171915
>doesn't come off as sexy
>but as slutty
>amazon that shows up covered from head to toe

>>
>>274172280
The narrative acknowledged it plenty. Ranma reacts entirely negatively to it (and isn't treated as wrong for having done so, his sins are pertaining to his he treats Shampoo). Her dad reacts negatively to it but is shut down because he's a wimp emotionally.

Is she going to reflect on her character and get better? No. Does that mean the narrative thinks she's right? No. Fuck no. It just thinks it is funny. It is an avenue for jokes. Yes, sometimes it is used for drama where you are intended to sympathize with her, but it isn't because she is 'the only good character' in a cast of jerks. Both her and Ranma get serious dramatic moments where you are supposed to sympathize with them because they are the protagonists.
>>
>>274172536
No, you're just wrong. The slap scene, and Ranma dramatically mumbling "Akane-san" plays the hands of whose sympathies you're supposed to have. Ranma teasing Akane with silly faces is more like someone trying to cheer up a grumpy child. The story is entirely framed around Akane feeling bad and betrayed over Ranma "cheating" on her.

There are plenty of series and franchises that have misunderstandings in them, but Ranma regularly places this sense of entitlement on Akane. Where anything that wrongs her is this deeply offensive thing that you, the audience, should sympathize with her over.
>>
>>274172381
Akane isn't the only one to get serious moments. Yes, the tone isn't always consistent in Ranma 1/2. This isn't because you are supposed to interpret her behavior as correct.

Fucking Happosai gets a moment of seriousness where his bad behavior is seen as a serious result of loneliness in the octopus jar arc and the narrative obviously doesn't see it as correct.
>>
>>274172280
>The narrative does nothing to acknowledge it though.
Why do people who say this usually mean bullshit?
The cartoony stormy angry eyes shot straight out of a gag comic strip wasn't enough "acknowledgement"?
>>
>>274170627
Yes, you are, better embrace it instead of being an obvious crossboarder.
>>
>>274172604
Yes, Akane is being a grumpy child. Does sympathizing with a grumpy child mean the child was correct for throwing a tantrum? The manga also often has moments where Akane's overreactions are not treated as serious and not worth sympathy.
>>
>>274171691
The original anime did do a lot of heavy lifting for that reputation but she's also the only other female with a Jusenkyo curse when not counting Ranma, so she gets plenty of nude scenes. I agree that she comes off more cute than sexy though.
>>
>>274172618
Nah, the narrative very much wants you to interpret the main heroine as being correct. Akane's violence is cute and silly, until she looks at you seriously, then you need to straighten up, and fly right.

>>274172667
The narrative will do nothing to acknowledge her as being incorrect. It simply will now move onto another story arc where everyone needs to pay so much attention to Akane, since she's got amnesia. This is the apex of her character now. She gets to be rude, violent, and antagonistic, and it will go on for volume after volume, and presumably 30+ episodes.
>>
>>274172639
Her being cartoony is "cute." You are meant to sympathize and support Akane. Takahashi 100% keeps her on a pedestal.
>>
>>274172763
By that definition all the characters are on pedestals. I mean, I guess the manga and its cast is worship-worthy, but that's probably not what you're mad about.
>>
>>274172618
Happosai is the last character you are supposed to empathize with, even thou for Rumiko he was just supposed to be a silly old man like Roshi
>>
>>274170774
Yeah, but the stats aren't meant to be on a curve, which is why they're bullshit. P-chan supposedly matches human Shampoo in power and stamina and by that logic should be able to beat her in a head-to-head fight, not get roasted and dressed by her.

>and made to play the damsel on multiple occasions.
>a pretty typical female self-insert trait
Said no self-inserter ever. Nobody self-inserts into weaklings, unless they can mentally gymnastics them into being sekrit chadly. Which admittedly they do all the time for other people's characters, but if you're the one writing the story why not just make them a badass in the first place?

Speaking of, wasn't there a weird lack of them for the Jusenkyo boys? Rumiko is one of very few mangaka blessed with the ability to draw godlike bodies on women AND men, but I don't think she ever gave many if any equivalents to pic-related Shampoo scene to the guys.

People justifiably complain about nipple erasure in the remake, but Ranma(m), Ryoga, Mousse, etc. don't even have nipples in the OG manga. What's with all the edging on male nudity?

No, but eng dub female Ranma's VA can hold her own with Megumi, which by dub standards is a diamond trophy. If every dub VA performance sounded like hers I'd drop sub elitism forever, but that's not happening anytime soon given current culture.

I even prefer watching the Kodachi fight in dub (Kodachi's dub VA isn't quite up to Ayaneru's earsex, but her acting is still pretty good) for my native-language delivery bonus. That "I don't want to date YOU!" shatters me.

99% of the time when anyone seethes about Rumiko and this series, it's a Shampoofag who unironically thinks she was ever a competitor for the Ranmabowl when Shampoo threatens to murder the competition and uses underhanded tactics to win Ranma over and made it a point that no character likes her presence besides Mousse who she treats like absolute shit.

Rumiko's leit motif is that "good =/= nice" and vice versa. As nice as Shampoo can be towards Ranma, that doesn't remove the fact she is a menhera psycho cunt to everyone else. Remember that, during the final arc, Shampoo attempted to blackmail Ranma into having sex with her, otherwise, she was gonna kill Akane who turned into a doll. She only cares whether or not Ranma likes her because it validates her own poor choices, she doesn't actually like Ranma or respects what he wants.

Akane may be a violent bitch towards Ranma (which is justified because Ranma is a sexist bigot with an overinflated ego, more often than not), and maybe too lenient and overly nice with his rivals (especially Ryoga and Shinnosuke), but overall she is naturally kind and respects what Ranma wants, as she's willing to let go of him if it means he's happy. When people want Ranma to fuck Shampoo, they really just mean "*I* want to fuck Shampoo." At least Kodachifags are perfectly aware that she's completely batshit insane but they still want to fuck her.
>>
>>274182493
Dub fem Ranma sounds like a regular dub VA that happens to have a voice similar to the sub. Yes the english VA has a cute voice and she isn't a bad performer but Hayashibara's Ranma is more versatile and cracks me the fuck up a lot and she nails the boyish tone and way of speaking more. Literally compare dub to sub and you'll notice pretty fast the dub is stale compared to the sub. Of every character, especially Akane fuck how I hate her dub voicing.

Yeah I thought it was a weird choice compared to just leaving the timeline vague (since even within the manga itself there are things like calendars etc. in the background showing it's set in the '90s in the chapters published then, and so it's on a sliding timeline rather than always remaining in 1987).

I get the argument "oh it's to explain why they couldn't just call/take a picture/email them" etc. but the series is so wacky and focused on such weird plots that I can't really think of a time offhand where the entire plot would be solved if someone had a smartphone and therefore they must explain why there are no phones to avoid confusing viewers etc. Usually the characters are preoccupied with other shit where that kind of thing would be the farthest from their mind no matter when it was set

It's counterintuitive, but openly lusting for macho girls is a better indicator of true attraction to femaleness than lusting for a more conventionally attractive girl like non-fight-mode Shampoo.
Of course it's perfectly natural to sincerely find either Akane or Shampoo attractive, but a gay or asexual man in denial would mostly pick the latter.

Was this just a difference between translations, or did the remake censor Akane and Ranma calling each other deviants?

I mean, both male-Ranma sleeping with Shampoo and Akane sleeping with notRyoga are good ol' heterosexual deviancies, so I can't see the rationale for censorship, but you never know.
>>
>>274189370
The remake has gone out of its way to remove any reference to the idea of girliness being a negative, and has actively rewritten Ryoga to be more heroic (having a moment's realization where he thinks about how Akane will hate him for being P-chan, dropping him challening Ranma for Akane's hand in the Golden Pair match, making Ranma the provocateur instead of a victim of Ryoga's betrayal), so... probably censorship.
>>
>>274189370
Shampoo got into bed with Ranma when he didn't know. Akane chooses to sleep with a stray pig. They are not the same
>>
>>274189370
In the original the word Akane used that gets translated as deviant here is "iyarashii" which can apparently mean stuff like lewd/vulgar/indecent/disgusting/etc. So deviant isn't really wrong but maybe has a slightly different connotation? Ranma doesn't say iyarashii back to Akane in the original but the idea is the same, it's still pretty much "what about you, you go to sleep hugging a pig"

I don't know how the remake translated that or if the line's different between the two.

>>
>>274189878
Good to know, thanks. Sounds like it might be one of the rare cases where the anime translation is a bit better? Because "deviant" does have more of the "abnormal" connotation than seems warranted by either of those situations, assuming Ranma isn't actually accusing Akane of bestiality.

As someone who does read fanfics that are serious and take some of these things deadly serious because of AU stuff, I have always made statements like
>>274168351
precisely because these idiots dont understand or care about the original show. they are unable to seperate liking a character or not with anyone elses opinion. I hate nodoka more than any other character in Ranma, but Ranma probably values her opinion more than any other character.

>>274168641
Anon her slapping ranma during that fight was punished immediately by her getting her hair and skirt cut up.

Thats a classic example of the writing framing her as the one who is in the wrong.

When characters go towards their lie instead of towards the truth, they become the victim of fate and end up losing the cosmic slot machine in the form of bad shit immediately happening to them. This is also why lukes parents die. You can argue that the storm troopers would be there anyway but thats irrelevant to how the author and writer structures a story, which is the main arguement, that the author is supporting a particular character.

In writing, luke gives a bunch of sorry excuses for why he cant go on the adventure of his dreams, he is embracing the lie that he will be nothing more than a simple farm boy because his family needs him more than they care about his desire to go on an exciting adventure. He rejects his call to adventure, 3 times, and the narrative punishes him for it.

Likewise in the Ryouga and Ranma fight Ranma and Akane are rejecting their feelings for eachother and so recieve punishment in the form of the slap stick violence and hair cutting that resulted from that entire debacle. Akane getting her hair cut and having to give up tofu was something she needed to do and was rejecting over and over again. but instead of it being her choice she was socially butchered infront of the entire female class for her actions.

Anyway because this is Ranma and not trails in the sky instead of someone slapping her for getting herself into danger she slaps ranma because thats the punchline that turns this serious dramatic moment into a gag. A gag that the WRITER RUMIKO has told YOU the audiance her own personal thoughts on this matter. EVERY time theres something serious or romantic she gets the cringe and needs to write a gag to take the stress and tension away. so this serious event becomes mangled Ryouga saying "agreeable girl isnt she?"

>>274183231
>As nice as Shampoo can be towards Ranma, that doesn't remove the fact she is a menhera psycho cunt to everyone else.
She's Akane's foil who's nice and easy towards everyone (especially Ranma's rivals, and more specifically Ryouga, Gosunkugi and Shinnosuke), mildly jerkish to her family and an absolute turbo cunt towards Ranma.
Not that hard to realize that.

I'm a mangafag and don't know that episode, but there is an arc in the manga where Nabiki becomes Ranma's fiancée and Akane gets very jealous.
I'd say it's always clear to the reader throughout not just that arc but the whole manga that Akane's in no danger of actually being cuckolded, though there are plenty of times where you can see why she thinks so. Same with Ranma.

If ranma was permanently like that she would absolutely give up on him, but she would still give getting him his strength back her usual psychotic all, she chased girl ranma TO JAPAN. she's too invested to quite so easily. To be honest though if Ranma never got his strength back its probably for the best that she dump him because Ranma is gonna have way more problems from that kind of mind breaking fall out and shampoo is going to be the least of his concerns for decades.

In the manga, only Genma-panda can grow into a giant like Happosai does, but he only does it once; during the "Happosai gets mad" story, and he just passes out from exhaustion after a few seconds because he's a big wuss.

Soun, on the other hand, never displays the ability to become a giant like Genma or Happosai. He has his "demon head" technique, but that's it, in the manga.

Soun being able to go giant, and both Soun and Genma being able to fight as giants, is something that the 1989 anime made up.

>dropping him challening Ranma for Akane's hand in the Golden Pair match, making Ranma the provocateur instead of a victim of Ryoga's betrayal

Yeah, the skating filler was the one change that really made the characters feel off, especially in the second half.

My personal silver lining from it is that I finally understood what was going on the manga in the chapter 28-29 transition it replaced. I guess I'm just stupid because even after reading it multiple times, I was all "Why does Ranma keep thinking he doesn't know what Ryoga's thinking? Why does he accept his challenge and then act surprised?"

Only after seeing the remake filler where they all act like boring but reasonable people (at least at first) did I realize "Oh, right. Ranma said yes to what he thought was a mystery challenge and was caught by surprise because Ryoga's simple, face-value meaning of 'Surrounded by massive ice holes ready to instantly KO me and me hog secret, I'm going to pivot RIGHT NOW to catfighting with my teammate while ignoring the official opponents about to bash me into said ice holes' is so pants-on-head that even Ranma didn't believe Ryoga could be that fucking dumb".

The OG anime actually changed that plot point too, so maybe the level of idiocy there really is too much for average minds to grasp.
>>
>>274195769
You can tell that Ranmafags are a bunch of plebs because nobody understood that reference.
>>
>>274196397
I mean, you could argue that both animes were trying to set things up so Ryoga's sudden switch to "Ranma's tsundere best bud" in the Hiryu Shoten Ha arc doesn't come quite as out of nowhere as it ought to, given that Ryoga has repeatedly shown he's a scumbag who will betray and kill Ranma in an instant (betraying Ranma against the Golden Pair, repeatedly trying to use the Bakusai Tenketsu on Ranma when they both thought it was a Fist of the North Stars style brain-bursting pressure point attack)... but yeah, that still kind of just highlights that Ryoga's redemption arc came kind of out of nowhere.
>>
>>274198236
OR, get this, in an extremely rare instance of Takahashi being aware of actual male behavior, Ranma & Ryoga started becoming more friendly over time after letting fists do the talking for them.

She does get called out but like Nabiki, she doesn't get punishment and Akane rarely reflects on her behavior; when she does want to apologize to Ranma, something against his will happens and Akane is back to overreact.

It's actually an episode that adapted a manga arc (Watermelon Island) in which Kuno excessively focuses on/pursues female Ranma even when Akane (female) is also right there. While that specific moment sadly isn't in the manga, it is completely in the spirit of the original arc which shows that Kuno chooses Ranma over Akane at a time when he has no restrictions on his behavior
