>>274940967Yes
>>274940967Who named the Chinese girl "Shampoo"?That's fucking retarded
https://x.com/rumicworld1010/status/1876>As a special bonus for purchasing, you will receive a gorgeous set of two reproductions of original artwork, including a newly drawn manuscript by Takahashi-sensei, stored in a special collection holder inside the box!Your reaction if this new chapter is the Rankane wedding?
>>274940967But enough about female Ranma, let's have a Shampoo thread
>>274941965I don't think its that. But I hope we get a proper conclusion some day.
>>274940967No. I don't forgive clingy, manipulative people who drug their love interest to brain control them.
>>274941965>>274942144It’s going to be Ranma finally breaking his curse in order to offset and drive away all the troons this new remake’s brought in.
>>274942198You’re not fooling anyone Rumiko.

>>274943520>Kikyo’s deathContext?
>>274943738I posted Kikyo's death scene saying I cried when I watched it on Animax last thread. - >>274933755Anon said he can't watch it in his country due to viz. >>274942289Another tagged him in this thread and posted those videos in mediafire. He then deleted them for some reason.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0p8evYJdN4Just grab it from some youtube downloader site if you can't watch it. If you have not watched Inuyasha, she has the same seiyuu as Akane.
>>274927819>>274927953>>274927993Goddamn, I remember visiting that site back then.Yes, I would say such a fan probably has watched the remake, of course.What? You think people change that much? I'm 2 years younger than her (1986) and I was shitposting about Akane then, same as I shitpost now 25 years later.Heck, I have a folder full of Akane and Ranma pictures from the early 2000s internet saved somewhere.But I admit I am surprised I would be so much into Ranma for a second time in my life. I am the first guy to say "old good, new bad" to most modern shit, but I gotta admit I'm enjoying the remake a lot. It did away with a lot of problems the original anime had and even though I'm very nostalgic for the old one's style, I think the new one trumps it most of the time with the new visual effects and all.Also, Akane looks cute and comfy as fuck in the remake. She still melts my heart decades later.
>>274941087
>>274944137I actually think that the old Akane was cuter. Remake version lacks the bitch energy of the OG which paired well with Akane's tomboyness.
>>274944616
>>274944137>Also, Akane looks cute and comfy as fuck in the remake. She still melts my heart decades later.We know Ryoga.
>>274944580Old anime mischarecterized Akane and Ranma a lot
>>274945334I'm perfectly aware but jokes on them since spunky Akane was way hotter than her more reasonable manga version
>>274940967>Devious Desirable quality>manipulative Extra desirable quality >bloodthirstyAbsolutely must have on a wife quality
>Soun says that he will personally give female Ranma away as a bride if he can't turn back into a man>the translation makes him say that he will fuck female Ranma himselfWas the translator a SounxRanma shipper?
>>274946392lmao still better than Rankane
>>274940967Ranma x Shampoo = OTPalways and forever
>Says he wants to stop turning into a woman>Takes every chance he gets to to talk about how hot he is as a woman
>>274946939manly pride fights with womanly pride
>>274944137Glad you're still here too, anon, your post resonates with my heart.
>>274941965>a newly drawn manuscriptwhat does this mean
Ukyo /ss/
>>274946392>>274947566Rumiko will finally give us the "Ranma becomes Akane's MILF stepmother" SounxRanma AU that the fans have been clamoring for.
Reminder that Ranma isn't only tsundere when it comes to romance, he's the same way with family and friendship. He may whine, punch and cavil but deep down he is Genma's daddy's boy and he thinks of Ryoga, Mousse and Kuno as his friends.
>>274947980Kodachi talking crazy. She would do it, I know she would.
>>274948250>ten years of widowerhood>Soun still restrained himself from this He has heroic will of steel
>>274940967>>But you'll forgive her anyway because she's cuteThe amount of stuff you can get away with if you're attractive enough is insane.
shampoo...
One of my best friends married a Chinese girl last year and I still haven't given him shit for "defeating a Chinese Amazoness" a la Ranma.
>>274944580I think the new one is truer to the manga.But ofc, OG Akane was also very cute, in a different style.>>274945176I'm Ranma actually.>>274947471Same for you. Not many of us oldfags around anymore.
>>274944586Anyone has this pic without watermark?
>>274945484I like her more dere than tsun.
>>274944580>the old Akane was cuterThere are a few episodes where that is definitely the case, but the OG anime's budget after the 1st season was really low, so the art was very inconsistent.And I really hate the artstyle in the ovas, so I'm not even going there.
>>274944580>I actually think that the old Akane was cuter.
>>274944137>Heck, I have a folder full of Akane and Ranma pictures from the early 2000s internet saved somewhere.Please anon, I yearn for the old internet so deeply ...
>tfw no caked up ranma bride
Do you think the remake was finally done with the hideous purple shift for fight scenes?
>>274948626>Soun still restrained himself from thisNot everyone is a homo chaser like (you) anon.
Are there fanon names for Shampoo et al's cursed forms, equivalent to "P-chan"?
>>274946554Imagine hating the cute and canon couple so much that you pedastalize a literal crack ship.Couldn’t be me lmao.
>>274951581>lmao>>274946554>lmaogb (go back)
>>274951581cursed image
>>274948480So Kodachi’s canonically a pedo groomer? (This line is getting censored in the remake isn’t it?)
>>274950625Getting late here.Tomorrow I'll try to find those and I'll post here or on the next Ranma thread.
>>274952015No rush anon, I'm here forever.
Who's the biggest rapist in the series?
>>274940967shampoo a cute

>>274952994Ryoga
>>274952994>>274953551>Not HapposaiAny other answer is automatically wrong.
>>274953677How close has Happosai ever been to actual rape and not just fondling chicks
>>274954259fondling ranma a lot
>>274953677>Happosai Ranma consented
>>274953551>Geez...that was close!What did you think was close, Ranma?
>>274953551
>>274951557Mousse's duck form is apparently officially referred to as "Moumou", the name he's presented with when we first see him in that form. Voice credits for episodes where only the duck form appears credit Toshihiko Seki for voicing "Moumou".Meanwhile, the credits for the episode where Shampoo's cat form debuts just credits Sakuma for voicing "cat".
>>274942198lets see...>Erases Akane's memories and holds the cure to that as hostage.>Asks her Grandma to curse Ranma into being unable to change back into a man unless he beats her in fight or marries Shampoo.....wow... i just realized those are the ONLY 2 things Shampoo did to ranma and akane... absolutely terrible and unforgivable things, yeah, but really the only ones...
>>274956636You forgot the kiraishi mushroom arc
>>274951718That's official artwork by Rumiko.
She just Chinese

>>274957555well, I didn't see her draw it, so I call bullshit on that one.
>>274943236So cute!
>>274959307what incredible cope lol
I finished one pound gospel, and you know what's hilarious? It has a happy ending with a love confession and all that lovey dovey shit but it was so anticlimactic. Why she didn’t give those kinds of endings to urusei and ranma even though those totally could’ve used it? But then here she is, giving a romantic ending to a nun who took an oath... like, really? Totally undermined the whole thing.
>>274944137>>274947471>>274949256>>274950625>>274927819The eye doesn't seeThe eye doesn't knowit was blinded a long time agobut the anons still knowand the anons still see...
>>274960430Read Maison Ikkoku. You will love it. Ranma and Akane are based off Godai and Kyoko.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF6QNuwIA6E
Anons, here's a riddle for you all:The Takahashi Heroine is obvious throughout her works; Shinobu in Urusei Yatsura, Kyoko in Maison Ikkoku, Akane in Ranma 1/2, Kagome in Inuyasha, Sakura in Rin-Ne, and Nanoka in Mao.Since Ranma 1/2 at least, the Takhashi Hero has been consistent; Ranma, Inuyasha, Rinne, and Mao.But does *Lum* get to be recycled throughout Takahashi's series the way that Shinobu and Ranma have been? Like, Shampoo is clearly a remake of Lum being forced to stay a villain like Lum was supposed to be, but have there been any other Lum retreads in the Takahashi multiverse?
For me its cake Hinako Sensei
>>274940967>But you'll forgive her anyway because she's cutenah shampoo isn't that high on my list
Mao anime when?
Shampoo's Japanese voice is so good
>>274961426kagome is the protagonist. inuyasha is the heroine.
>>274962092thats because shes voiced by the greatest cuck in the universe desuwa
>>274961426>But does *Lum* get to be recycled throughout Takahashi's series the way that Shinobu and Ranma have been? Like, Shampoo is clearly a remake of Lum being forced to stay a villain like Lum was supposed to be, but have there been any other Lum retreads in the Takahashi multiverse?While Shampoo is the most obvious Lum expy, all her rival girl Stacies have a bit of Lum in them in the fact that they’re all crazy yanderes.
>>274962379too little too late because Shampoo will always be remembered as the FMC
>>274962596only by shampoo simps
>>274962379Shampoo at least has excuse since she comes from radically different culture. Ukyo & Kodachi are just violent psychopaths
>>274960430My one and only wish is that she'd continue the Mermaid saga...
>another thread of waifufags bitching at each other when literally nobody won the RanmabowlThat is why the patrician choice is to admit that Ranma is gay.
>>274962617everyone knows shampoo is the female lead of ranma, only rumiko was too stubborn to accept it
>>274963734Turns out Akane is more popular among Manga readers. Here is a shonen sunday pollMale Ranma - 372 votesFemale Ranma - 130 votes
>>274963846Akane - 393 votesShampoo - 390 votes
>>274962379Honestly, DO any of Takahashi's Shinobu-expies have any rivals post Ranma 1/2? Even in Inuyasha, Kagome's main rival is Kikyo, who is literally her past self and so just another Shinobu variant - the anime teased us with the idea of Inuyasha/Sango, but that was literally a one-time gag.I mean, as far as I know, there's no love triangle shenanigans in either Rin-ne nor in Mao...
>>274963734Also Shampoo is more popular only in Japan
>>274963858Dr. Tofu is on the list, Japanese fan manga opinions discarded
>>274963728Ryoga came closer to having sex with Ranma than any of the girls, that's for sure.
>>274963846Were there seriously only 2231 total votes? Did almost no one read the manga or something?
>>274963864>I mean, as far as I know, there's no love triangle shenanigans in either Rin-neNot in the same way, but there is one in Rinne.
>>274963921>Ranma: Why would she be blushing at my naked girl body? OMG I know!! She must actually be a guy!!!Ranma does not know about the existence of lesbians confirmed.
>no nipplesdropped
>>274963858>Popular among manga readersMakes sense because she was mischarecterized heavily in the old anime making her more violent and Ranma meaner
>>274964044Gays are freaks to be corrected to Ranma and Akane, thats why they are BASED couple
>>274964616Akane tries to grope girl Ranma all the time. Shampoo is the super-heterosexual stacy.
>>274964722>Shampoo>heteroLmao, Shampoo is obsessed with Ranma to the point of lezzing out. Meanwhile Akane corrects even strangers like Tsubasa, Shampoo may be more beautiful, but Akane is the superior Chud
>>274964773Canonically the entire school is a Akane fan club. Kuno even considers her equal with FemRanma. So yes, she is very beautiful. Kuno was never attracted to Ukyo or Shampoo.
man this remake is shit compared to the original
>>274964912The manga is the original
>>274964912Did anyone figure out why the remake exists? Isn't it the exact same episodes 1:1 but widescreen and without nipples or ass cracks?
>>274964837Is there any particular reason he's thinking about Raijin and Fuujin
>>274941887>ShampooBlame the international scripts.It's supposed to be "Xian Pu", "Mu Tzu" and "Kowloon" instead of Shampoo, Mousse and Cologne.
>>274941965Ranma breaking his jusenkyo curse and fucking off forever to fight stronger enemies a la Goku
>>274964942>Isn't it the exact same episodes 1:1Are you actually retarded or baiting?
>>274964941The manga is better than the original show and the original show is better than the remakeslop.>>274964942It's censored and changes scenes, drops scenes, alters the tone incessantly. It's just an attempt to make money, very little effort was put into it. Has no soul.
>>274960525>Maison IkkokuLiterally the cuckshit misery porn that caused series like kanokari, shounen no abyss, hatsukoi zombie, love hina, toradora and karami zakari exist.Better avoid reading that miseryslop and read something more uplifting like bokuyaba or sbd.
>>274965028No, the *actual* Chinese names for the characters are Shan Pu ("Shan" and "Sham" evidently sounding a lot alike in Chinese), Mu Tsi, and Ku Lun. Xian and Shan aren't even pronounced the same way.
>>274965028>>274965359I've always heard the shampoo/mousse/cologne joke was from RT herself and not a localization thing even back in the 90s
>>274962379>they’re all crazy yanderes.More like crazy menheras.
>>274965526Truly a sad state of affairs when Akane is the least mentally ill of Ranma's stalkers despite being violent maniac with overactive imagination
I actually like their weird nose in the og anime
>>274965263>It's censored and changes scenes, drops scenes, alters the tone incessantly.you do realize the original made way more changes to the manga and terribly mischaracterized Ranma and Akane>It's just an attempt to make money, very little effort was put into it. Has no soul.holy shit. a mutt lecturing japan about effort.
>>274965631
>>274963864>Even in Inuyasha, Kagome's main rival is Kikyo, who is literally her past self and so just another Shinobu variantNo, Kagome being Kikyo’s reincarnation is just used as a concept to deconstruct the whole reincarnation trope in the first place and a commentary by Rumiko on how unhealthy it is to look for your past lover in your future one and try to use them as a replacement. They’re separate people for all intents and purposes and that’s how Rumiko wants you to see them.Leaving that aside, Kikyo definitely has the spirit of the stereotypical psycho yandere Rumiko rival girl considering she wants to drag Inuyasha to hell with her and also tries to guilt-trip him and hold him responsible for her losing her life.
>>274965263>and changes scenes, drops scenes, alters the tone incessantlyThis is a negative for you yet you think the original's better? You might as well say the remake's better because cel animation is superior to digital.
>>274966039*original anime
>>274965590>Truly a sad state of affairsYour taste is the truly sad state of affairsPlus Ranma's own menhera puts them all to shame.
>>274964722>Shampoo calling Akane a pervert for wanting Ranma to stay a trannyThis line is definitely getting censored in the demake isn’t it? Not current year enough…
>>274965146I assume he means "manga episodes". >Are you actually retardedNow this is a bait buzzphrase.
>>274966177Unfortunately yeah. They're more hands-off when something is central to the plot, but I don't think that line matters enough to be spared the chop.
>>274963872>Akane more popular than Fem Ranma in the West>Fem Ranma only number 9I’m honestly surprised, thought all the troons and wokies would’ve for sure been voting Fem Ranma as best girl, wouldn’t this be considered “transphobia” to them? Are only conservatives and normal people watching the remake?
>>274966245You shouldn't be surprised. Wokefags don't watch most anime because Japan is 'white' and problematic. Same idea with media created before the 2010s.
>>274966331>Wokefags don't watch most animeSo why the fuck is this remake getting censored and “wokified” in the first place then?!
>>274966378Their harassment campaigns are mostly about things they haven't watched or know the slightest shit about.
>>274965631>>274966039nonsensical cope and seethe
>>274965930Still Inuyasha ended seeing Kagome as just another Kikyou replacement. She even became a miko in the post epilogue.
>>274966583>Still Inuyasha ended seeing Kagome as just another Kikyou replacement.Confirmed for either being a speed-reader or an anime-only secondary.
>>274963846>>274963858>Fem Ranma so low in Japan tooLooks like Nips aren’t fond of trannies…
>>274967177you don't picture her like this if you're not already at least halfway in love
>>274962596>>274962617Even the studio making the anime knows Shampoo is the main draw
luv ranmaluv akaneluv rankanesimple as
>>274964837can an akanefag please give me an argument in favor of the character that doesn't make her sound like a parody of shitty fanfic self-inserts
>>274968506Like Kasumi said, Akane is sweet girl despite being violent maniac. If you like Tsunderes, you will probably like Akane. If you dislike Tsunderes, you will probably dislike Akane.Simple as.
>>274968558Tsundere lover here. I like Akane, but Ranma is the best tsundere bar none.
>>274940967yeah, but also because she loves me
>>274968558I mean, if we're talking about liking violent maniacs with a bit of a sweet side, Rumiko kinda makes Akane redundant in her own series
>>274964773*Soun* is the supreme gay hater of the story.When the possibility surfaces that Ranma may stay a female forever, not a single thought about letting him stay together with his daugther in his head, he instantly proclaims that he will ship him off to be conversion therapied by a husband and kids.
>>274969291fucking Ranma, what a total absolute faggot. Go back to the bath with Ryoga you fucking gay.
>>274969291I thought this was curse of the contrary jewel OAV for a sec
>>274961426hear me out: Sango and Miroku are Ataru's distant ancestors
>>274965045God i fucking wish
Kuno is literally meand I *am* him
>>274970669I've still got my kuno cosplay gear around here somewhere
>>274970293Hear me out: Inuyasha should have fucked & married Sango instead of Kagome
>>274968506>like a parody of shitty fanfic self-insertsWhy are you even in the Rumic fandom if you can’t these types? Those are all her self-inserts, remember she’s basically just an actually talented version of Chris-Chan.Pic related is basically Rumiko.
>>274971197>if you can’t these types?*can’t stand these types
>>274971197One shitty lead can pretty easily be eclipsed by strong characters everywhere else. And I wouldn't even say Akane sucks personally, just kind of meh in an otherwise great cast. Her fans do have a weird tendency to make her sound like she's written like complete shit by accident with some of the minor shit they focus on, though. "she's the prettiest and everyone thinks she's the most beautiful and she's the smartest and she's always right tee hee" type shit.
>>274968839That doesn't make sense, Ranma would still be legally male and only able to marry a woman legally.
>>274969849Best bros. I wish we saw more of them.
>>274974010
akane would want you to watch the original :)
>>274974359
>>274964837Kuno considers Akane equal with Ranma at first, like in the very earliest volumes (there's a part in the takeout race arc where he even briefly chooses Akane over her), but as the manga progresses it becomes more and more obvious that deep down he's most interested in Ranma. Like he'll still hit on Akane when they're in the same room, but eventually there comes a point where, pretty much every time Kuno does something that involves overtly or subtly making a choice between one of the girls, he chooses the Pigtailed Girl over Akane, right down to the finale chapterand it warms my heart
>>274974684Also helped by Akane being engaged and Pigtailed Girl being technically free. Even retard like Kuno realizes that he has to fight Ranma for Akane whereas his other waifu has less competition
>>274974359True
>>274974786Doesn’t he think that Ranma is together with pigtailed girl too?
>>274974684>pretty much every time Kuno does something that involves overtly or subtly making a choice between one of the girls, he chooses the Pigtailed Girl over Akane, right down to the finale chapterno he does not. give examples from the manga if you think he does.
>>274968837Best girls always mog the annoying self inserts
>>274974827>>274974359Why would she want you to watch the adaption which was responsible for presenting her as more violent than the manga and responsible for most of the hate she got?
>>274975242Are you gonna repeat this like a broken record?
>>274975361ofcourse removed from the deen adaption
>>274975330Best girls always not the annoying self inserts
>>274975390truly a broken record
>>274975290Because it's better than the remake, so if people are gonna watch one, Akane would want them to watch the original. Obviously.
>>274975242>Psycho yandere menhers>The ones who began the trend of the affectionate yet mentally ill rival heroine.>Because of them we have cancerous shits like Kanokari's Ruka, 5toubun's Nino, Nisekoi's Marika or Abyss' Yuri.>Best girls.Sure, best girl for those who never touched a fucking tit or interacted with a woman in their pathetic lifes other than their mommies.
>>274975455
>>274975433>Akane would want you to watch the one that mischaracterized her
>>274975190Sure, just off the top of my head (and keeping in mind that there might be a few more if I read through in detail):>Magic Sword ArcThis is actually one of the most compelling cases for this. Kuno gets a sword that can grant him three wishes. After using the first to beat Ranma, his immediate second wish is for a date with the Pigtailed Girl. Like he could have wished for literally anything, and he specifically chose her first rather than Akane or even both of them. Not only that, but despite saying to Akane at a few points in the arc that he's sorry he chose Pigtailed Girl first and he'll get back to her later etc. etc., he then uses his THIRD wish for a statue of him and the Pigtailed Girl as well.>Watermelon Island arcKuno, with his memories lost and his subconscious desires/inhibitions at the forefront, spends a good portion of this arc trying to breed Ranma and not thinking about Akane at all. He does hit on Akane when he first sees her (Ranma still in male form at the time), but as soon as Pigtailed Girl shows up he focuses all of his attention on her, even when Akane's right there in a bathing suit.Just as Rankanefags argue that Ranma's unconscious kiss with Akane is a manifestation of his subconscious desires, so is Kuno with amnesia specifically trying to breed Ranma.>Martial Arts Cheerleading ArcKuno goes out of his way to ask the Pigtailed Girl to cheer for him at the kendo match. Doesn't even ask Akane, no reason why he couldn't have asked Akane. He just wanted that specific girl to do it apparently.>Demon Swimsuit arcKuno completely ignores Akane in a bathing suit for literally the entire arc, even when he first shows up and they're in the same room. He even shows up with a custom bathing suit he made for the Pigtailed Girl, like he went out of his way to do this in advance (no mention of an extra one for Akane).Got two more points coming up so STAY TUNED
>>2749754501. You're still the only person on earth who calls Lum and Shampoo yandere because it's that ass-backwards of a take2. You're too stupid to not misuse this exact same lingo on every website you make these exact types of rants 3. You use MyAnimeList forums with the username PurpleMario, even your mom wouldn't have let you touch her tits and stuck you on formula right out of the womb
>>274975519Exagerated an existing trait slightly (and even that is debatable) vs rewriting her character massively and all her interractions with the MC. Yeah, Akane would hate the remake.
>>274975578>>274975190>Black Cherry Tree chapterKuno gets possessed by the spirit of the tree specifically because he carved his name and the Pigtailed Girl's into it under one of those umbrella of love things. Doesn't do one for himself and Akane.>last chapter of the mangaAt the wedding scene in the finale arc, Kuno does initially show up with a sword to kill male Ranma and win Akane. However, as soon as Ranma transforms into the Pigtailed Girl, Kuno not only focuses on her but says they can have a double wedding-- implying that, at the moment he saw the Pigtailed Girl, he was content with letting Ranma have Akane as long as he could marry the Pigtailed Girl at the same time.There might be even more examples but those are the most significant ones I'm thinking of now. I know there might be a few more moments in the old anime too (because it was obvious enough that the anime crew picked up on this too), but in the interest of fairness I stuck strictly to the manga here.Now realistically it's just a natural consequence of the manga focusing on Ranma over Akane since he's the title character, so it makes more sense to use Ranma in plots focusing heavily on Kuno. But moments like these add up over time and start to feel like Kuno has a definite slant toward the Pigtailed Girl, even if he wouldn't admit or, possibly, realize this
>>274975729>rewriting her character massively and all her interractions with the MC[citation needed] it doesn't exist
>>274975361>>274975387>Reading that deeply into a fucking background motif>Thinking Rumiko did as wellHoly shit, even as a Rankanefag myself I have to admit this is going too far and absolutely autistic in the “looking out for shipping hints” department.
>>274975642>"i know your name" pseudodoxxing>>274975450>"i have sex" normalfaggotryYou two deserve each other.
>>274975930Cope if you like, everyone else knows it's true. Rumiko knows (doesn't like remake).
>>274975808>Now realistically it's just a natural consequence of the manga focusing on Ranma over Akane since he's the title character, so it makes more sense to use Ranma in plots focusing heavily on KunoNo, it’s because the entire manga is an exercise in the forced feminization of Ranma, why do you think his girl form is the one that’s most sexualized and gets the most fanservice? Why is he ship teased with Ryoga so much and even has his first kiss stolen by Mikado?There’s a reason why troons take one look at the character and go “that’s literally ME!” The entire series is basically just AGP supreme because Rumiko is a tranny fetishist.
>>274976094She hated the original buddy
>>274940967No because she's not cute enough.
>>274975729>Yeah, Akane would hate the remake.So Akane prefers >rewriting her character massively and all her interractions with the MC. and hates >Exaggerated an existing trait slightly (and even that is debatable)eh?(Note to anons who aren't this guy: I don't actually have an opinion about whether the old anime rewrote massively since I only watched the first season, which was still majority canon.)
>>274976094Oh, so you're just trolling.
>>274976094>(doesn't like remake).Source? Where did you hear that? I thought Rumiko was the one funding the remake and went to Netflix and MAPPA to make it?
>>274976185There's literally an old interview from the '90s where Rumiko says something like "I loved the Ranma anime"
>>274976179Yeah you're right, and I'm okay with this.
>>274976221Akane would hate the remake because she’s a based homophobe and transphobe and she would hate how the remake mischaracterizes her in this department. (censoring her thinking Ranma is a pervert/freak for changing sexes)
>>274976332Ranma was made for the Chaser crowd.
>>274976378>One line
>>274940967>>274940967>>But you'll forgive her anyway because she's cuteoh the outrage
>>274976179>Why is he ship teased with Ryoga so muchTell that to the multiple anons in these threads who will tell you you're a deluded coomer if you see it. >and even has his first kiss stolen by Mikado?It occurred to me the meta reason might be so that Shampoo can't claim his first kiss. Though interestingly she can in the 1989 anime, thanks to the ice skating episodes' broadcast being delayed.
>>274976179So do forced feminization fetishfags like Ranma 1/2?
>>274976902>forced feminization fetishfagsAren’t those basically AGP trannies? Only in the closet?
I never watched the original, should I watch the remake, the artstyle is very cute
>>274977048From what I've seen the original is better. The voice acting is a little better, the ecchi is better and it doesn't do the gay steven universe pastel shit.
>>274964044Communal bathing is popular enough in Japan. Even a lesbian logically wouldn't be berating other girls for not covering up around her.
>>274977048Yes, give it a try if you like the manga, especially since you like the remake's artstyle.
Wait, so the cursed springs transformation doesn't completely change your DNA and you can still pass on your pre-transformation genes to your offspring? So even girl Ranma still has a Y chromosome, and in her Kuno breeding dream she'd have better than even odds of mothering sons since the possible sex-chromosome combos would be XX, XY, YX and YY, and assuming YY isn't compatible with life, that would be two sons for every daughter?
Other than >Akane >Shampoo>those bathing girls in the happo fire burst story Has Ranma been physically attracted to anyone else?

>>274976271He's obviously bullshitting. But Rumiko said she'd only watched the first episode of the remake as of the month before it started airing. Could be she dislikes it, or could be Ranma 1/2 has faded from her memory and she finds it boring now.https://www.furinkan.com/takahashi/takahashi96.html
>>274985198In Japanese culture, it's expected that an original creator will say something nice about anything officially connected with their original work, no matter what. Getting her to watch a single episode and say little to nothing about it, means she probably hates it and is doing the bare minimum.
>>274955124>MoumouThat's cute as fuck
What is Ranma's problem?
>>274987532He just loves her so much
For me it's Kasumi
>>274978107I don't think it can go that far considering it's magic nature and the fact that human hybrids would be inviable in a scientific manner, but rather inherit kinda magical traits considering they are mostly human
>>274973325the state doesn't know that ranko is ranma so it wouldn't be that difficult to get documents that declares her as different person especially since he has perfeect japanese and they can always do a genetic test to demonstrate his ascendance, the only problem would be the lack of a birth certificate
>>274980415Ranma is a 16 year old boy. The manga uses the dokidoki (どきどき) sfx whenever any girl is affectionate with Ranma.
>>274987591Who could blame him?
>>274985856She also specifically praised the voice acting of the returning cast rather than anything the remake was doing new and differently.
>>274988151But it only uses the kurakura sfx (dizzy with love, (くらくら)) for Akane. Only Akane can make him feel dizzy.

>>274963872Why do Akanefags keep trying to cite the Anime Trending poll from this season to pretend like she's popular now, even if though that's the only poll she's done well in anywhere since like 1990? Every other popularity poll had her getting fuck all attention and barely staying in the top 10.
>>274992162Shitpoo didn't even rank.
>>274992162this poll does not say anything in your favor chink lover. Akane is still above any other girl from the show.
>>274992245the thing it says in our favor is that we don't waste time manipulating gay ass popularity polls where you can ballot stuff just by opening incognito mode retard
>>274992267cope cope cope
Hiya! Why their love so popular?
>>274992276Yeah I'll cope with the mountains of merchandise they make for Shampoo because people are actually willing to pay for stuff that has her on it

>>274991589Kek, actually true. It's pretty hilarious that both Mikado and Ryoga have gotten farther with Ranma than Akane ever did.
>>274992413this is a pretty hilarious cope. was the anime corner also botted then? where is your chink waifu in the anime corner poll.>>274992355>only in Japan
>>274991826cat shampoo is cute.....but not cute enough!
>>274992545What a stupid. No wonder only lame duck love her.
>>274991953I'm familiar with the chapter. In context that scream definitely doesn't read as like "poor hypnotized victim calling out to their true love as they break free from the depths of their brainwashing, how romantic~" but just frustration/annoyance/pain directed toward Akane because by this point he's tried to explain what's happening to Akane over and over and over and she still won't listen. If anything, Shampoo hearing Ranma yell like that in this context would only strengthen her belief that Ranma belongs with her because Akane causes him to suffer so much.And look. I get that Ranma likes Akane; I don't like it, but I get it. But there are clearly many instances across the manga of Ranma reacting with anger/frustration toward Akane and I think in context this is one of them.
>>274992565People always forget the cat, he was smitten with shampoo too
>>274992651Maomolin is so cute

>>274981403>Shampoo x MousseThats not happening. She hates him. She will probably remain a spinster her whole life. Unless Rumiko makes Shampoo x Herb or some shit canon in a sequel.
>>274992989Retard I meant her popularity is only in Japan
>>274993053Whatever helps you sleep at night I guess, even if that's complete bullshit
>>274993070
>>274981403>>274993042honestly I would fly over to Japan and personally shove Rumiko out of her walker if she made Shampoo x Mousse canon

what is every character's MBTI in Ranma 1/2?I'll start with Shampoo: ENTP
>>274993137>murder is the answer to everything i don't likeback to bluesky and cope it's canon
Reminder that Mousse is gigachad>Ranma was unable to beat him as girl despite easily kicking the shit out of Ryoga>Mousse regularly tanks heavy hits>Strong enough to slice giant column in half>Could effortlessly subdue Shampoo as a duck>Biggest RanKane shipper eclipsing even Genma and Soun
Ukyo is clearly ESFJ
>>274995518This fan artist is clearly talented since they managed the impossible: making Ukyo look feminine & cute
>>274949951GIWTWM Kissing Ranma, not Shampoo.
>>274992162>>274992267>even if though that's the only poll she's done well in anywhere since like 1990Maybe that's because the remake's Akane is more truthful to the manga character, and as such, a more well rounded character.The OG anime had lots of filler that portrayed her like some psycho.>>274992924>>274992355Shampoo has a good design overall and is more flashy than Akane's.That doesn't make it a better character tho.
>>274992162Wait, how does that site work?She shows on the top spot for me right now.
>>274980415Yearning for her? He just says it's kind of a waste that she left because she's cute. If he was yearning for her he would have gone after her like Ryoga suggested. Nothing was stopping him.
>>274988381>>274988362God damn it Takahashi is so good at these little cute moments.
Kodachi: ESFP
>>274995770That's the point, he does find her cute even if he doesn't actually want to get with her. Unlike, say, Sanzenin, who he doesn't want to get with *and* isn't physically attracted to.
>>274995983Paizuri with this sexo Kodachi
It’s snusnu time.
>>274964722With lines like this being censored, remakeonlies are going to think Akane is hetero
>>274964722cute chinglish
>>274996173Always was. Our first introduction to Akane's sexuality is her thirsting after Dr. Tofu
>>274996805>that slight blushAkane is cuter here than in any part of Remake. OG-chads win again
i can't watch ranma without masturbatinganyone else?
>>274995511But all that shit is eclipsed by his hopeless and pathetic simpery for Shampoo
>>274995601Wtf were those horrid designs.I get it was Atsuko Nakajima putting her own personal signature, but they look less like Ranma characters but more like You're Under Arrest characters.
>>274996718>thirstingHer "crush" on him is so "I wanna be a bride" primary school level it makes Ranma/Mikado look passionate.
>>274996944>had a chance to brainwash Shampoo into his loving waifu>gave that upMousse has more integrity than Kuno and Ryoga
>>274995018>よかったのームース、さほど嫌われてなかったらしーな。Cologne just says ‘It seems like she didn’t hate you that much’, there is no implication that Shampoo likes him or is ‘not indifferent’ to him romantically.
>>274996338In Italian Shampoo calls her 'fanciulla sessuale maniaca' (i.e. "maniac sex maiden ").
>>274997084integrity doesn't win wars and love is war, just ask that to the fuhrer
>>274997413Only reason Shampoo isn't Mousse's bride is because Cologne hates him and insists on disqualifying him on technicality.
>>274996805oof, I can smell the akane cream from here, phew
>>274996550>should I kiss you or kill you
Question: when did the idea that Ranma 1/2 takes place in the Nerima ward of Tokyo take place? Is it actually something said in canon, or is it something that just became part of fanon at some point? Only thing I remember about the "default setting" of Ranma 1/2 I remember is the 1989 anime having Ryoga's map to Furinkan High School eliciting reactions of "that's a map of Tokyo" from the people he kept showing it to.Likewise, is Nerima the actual town that the Tendo Dojo is set up in, or is it more like the greater area, and the town they're in could be called something else? Like, Urusei Yatsura is in Tomobiki Town, and our protags there attend Tomobiki High School - well, Ranma & co attend Furinkan High School, so could they actually be in a town called Furinkan?
>>274995718>The OG anime had lots of filler that portrayed her like some psycho.>Anon says, when episode 12 of the anime has Akane making an absolutely fucking crazed face when she sees Shampoo kissing up to Ranma.>Like seriously, who the FUCK thought that new scene was a good addition, it makes Akane look crazier than Shampoo?!
>>274996718Hells, it's literally a plot point in the Ukyo's Secret Sauce arc that Ranma being a girl makes it completely innocent and non-sexual if he shares Akane's bed, whilst the idea of him doing so as a boy is far too sexually charged for either of them to bear with.
>>274998343Nerima is part of Tokyo, look up Nerima ward Tokyo.
>>274998374This scene, you mean? It's pretty close to the manga, isn't it?
>>274998970
>>274999001>Ranma thinking that he and Shampoo should get to know each other better>Nabiki bullying AkaneAkanesisters...
>>274999001Damn, Kasumi mogs the other sisters so bad...
>>274965631>>274965649this scene with kasumi always really really pissed me off
>>274999065>Ranma blushing at Akane>Akane blushing at Ranma>Chink lover thinks its about ShampooYou maybe a chink lover but how did your brain process that image as Nabiki bullying Akane?
>>274974039akane can do it when it counts pal.
>>274975729>>274975519>>274975433>>274975290akane would laugh at secondaries entirely and offer you a few ovas and the manga only.

>>274940967This barely even looks like anime anymore, my fucking god.
>>274999590Akane wouldn't give a fuck what you watch because she'd never have any interest in you people
It's easy to see when Ranma fell for Akane, but what was the moment when Akane fell for Ranma?
>>275001345>those awkward proportions>that borderline absence of a background>those colors that are so washed out that they start to blend into each otherThis remake is a travesty.
>>275000027Akane most certainly reads manga but probably didnt watch many cartoons.
>>274998834He's asking where in canon Nerima is specified as the location in Tokyo.
>>275000744
>>274998424All that proves is that they live in the 90s
>>275002379
>>275002546didn't mean quote anything with that post
>>275001462really was a huge downgrade not even counting the censoring
>>274998343The Nerima thing actually comes from the first page of the manga because it's written on the postcard that Soun receives, so I guess strongly implied that that's where the Tendo Dojo is at least.That said I'm pretty sure Nerima is just the greater area because Nerima is pretty big/populated IRL, and so the actual town/whatever you'd call the smaller location the main story takes place is unknown. I've actually seen Japanese websites comment that they don't know what the town name is so this isn't just something that only western fans have commented on and Japanese fans already know or don't care about.The writer of the old anime's English dub called the area "Furinkan" a few times based on the high school's name (assuming it's named after location probably), which makes as much sense as anything else. I've seen a Japanese fan assume something similar too.

I agree it makes sense, I'd just like some evidence to point towards for it.
>>2750066030. Both of them spill too much spaghetti to ever have sex with each other.
>>275008028Ranma will get it in sooner or later.
>>275008164And moment he does he will get splashed with cold water and get cockblocked in very literally.
>>275007095You mean in the dub or in general? I don't think there's any evidence one way or the other in Japanese (because if there were then people would already know what the location's called besides just vaguely in Nerima), but in the dub they used Furinkan in episode titles a few times and apparently in the Tunnel of Lost Love OVA mentioned "Furinkan neighborhood."
>>275008444>episode titlesSpecifically thinking of one called "A Cold Day in Furinkan" which seems to be referring to the larger area and not just the school
>>275008444>>275008543Appreciate it, anon; that's what I was asking.

I like how S1 of the 1989 anime imitates the early manga artstyle and the 2024 remake imitates the later manga artstyle, gives me the chance to see both
>>274961592Doesn't get nearly enough attention.
>>274965359Shānpū, Mùsī, Kěluén in pinyin. There's no "am" in Mandarin, but lips will close to pronounce the p. I mean, even in English, is it possible to pronounce "Shampoo" differently from "Shanpoo" if you're speaking quickly?
>>274996166I like Akane. But I still think it's hilarious the abridged series gave her a man voice

>>275019394We know that Akane is an extremely violent sleeper, but I like to think that, just as nekoken Ranma is calmed by Akane, Akane would sleep peacefully with Ranma.
>>275017676I stand corrected, anon.>>275019237This is true. Shampoo is the product of a 3000 year old cultivation cult that didn't descend into inbred imbecility like the Musk; you know her genetics would be superior to the raw talent of Akane, a fluke in her family.>>275019948Absolutely true.
