Is the new Ranma worth watching/will I like it?I have never seen Ranma and only know it's about some martial arts teen getting hit with a troon curse.If I liked shows like Naruto and FMAB, will I like Ranma? Or is it more of a comedy type anime? What is the target audience of the show?
It’s scared of nipples.
>>282659215If that pink hair doesn't tell you everything you need to know, just go jump off a bridge.
>>282659670A lot of anime characters have pink hairSakura from Narutothe guy from Fairy Tailthe guy from Jujutsu KaisenJessie from Pokemonthe kid in Spy X FamilyGoku BlackAstolfo from Fatethe girl from Bocchi the Rock!the girl from Darling in the Franxxthe girl from Elfen LiedAnd of course, my beloved Haman Karn
>>282659215>Is the new Ranma worth watching/will I like it?>modern animeNo. Unless you don't care about animation in anime or good art and coloring or straight up like modern anime; then you could like... that.
>>282659215So what can you do with sleeping Ranma?
>>282659457me too
>>282659215Ranma is sort of half way between Urusei Yatsura and Inuyasha if you ever saw either of those. Lots of martial arts fighting, but also a lot of comedy.The new show isn't that bad, but it doesn't look anything like either the manga or how the old show looked at its end so it didn't make either group of existing fans happy. They also really fucked the color up in the early fights.
>>282659457Could be worseRanma could've lost her tits, like Bocchi.
>>282659215As someone who never saw the original, the Ranma remake was very entertaining. I was surprised by how much I liked it. Because of it I'm now planning to watch the original as well, I hear it is even better. I think it's worth a shot.
>>282661404>lost her tits, like Bocchi.Ranma seems to be growing a little bitHere, this one is from Season 5 (1989)
>>282659215As a manga reader, it's just not worth it The manga isn't worth it, and the adaptation is worse
>>282659215they made Ranma too cuteshe's lost her tomboyish charm
>>282661329idk im demeneted. i take estrogen. want to be a girl. have a sissy fetish. so it's a bit of wish fulfillmentbut i also like anime where people fight epic style... >>282661371I did not see either I'm 25...I only saw Inuyasha sometimes after Naruto if I could manage to stay awakeIs the old show better?>>282661470What anime and manga do you recommend for a faggot tranny who likes>fights>story>MtF wish fulfillment >>282661495i feel like a boy turned into a girl would not act like this
>>282659215Why not just watch the old anime and read the manga?
>>282661625no timeits 540
>>282659215Do not ask modern /a/ what they think of Ranma, we're sharty lite these days.
>>282661558>MtF wish fulfillmentRanma doesn't have that and I'd never recommend something that did
>>282661630The manga really doesn't take that long to read. To give you a straight answer, it's first and foremost a comedy. Rumiko Takahashi is genuinely one of the best at visual humor.
>>282661371Ranma is comedy with action sprinkled
>>282661453Replying myself, because this clip is ripped out from VHS (480p).And reposted that same clip is now ripped out from Blu-ray (1080p).
>>282659215>troon
>>282661625the old anime has a shintillion episodes
>>282661558>Is the old show better?It definitely had its moments, but it also had a lot of problems that led to it getting cancelled twice. Mostly just having the bad luck of Japan's economy crashing, but it didn't help they went way too slow with tons of bad filler instead of animating all of the manga they could have.New show has its moments too, but its hard to really compare them when the new show only has 12 episodes so far and hasn't animated anything that wasn't in the old show.There will be a beach story the old series completely fucked up in the new season so there is that to look forward to.>I did not see either I'm 25...Urusei Yatsura just had a short reboot, and Inuyasha is all on Netflix.Watch the new Ranma, if you like it you might watch or read the old series or other Rumiko Takahashi stuff.
>>282662201I think it's around 150 to 160 episodes.
>>282661667o>>282661699checkedi see i see>>282661906okhe gets hit with a tranny curse>>282662292ok i probably will watch new ranma and if i like i will check out her other work :]
>>282662524knowing netflix, they'll adapt the entire anime in 4 seasons
>>282662778After two seasons they're only going to be 1/4 of the way through. But I wish they would have rushed it. At this point the series is going to get cancelled half way again.
>>282659670
>>282662778Netflix isn't the one creating it, they simply have the streaming license in the west for it. It's a broadcast show produced by Shogakukan in Japan and available on multiple streaming services such as Hulu there:https://www.hulu.jp/ranma-1-2-2024
>>282659215I think that the new one is awful because of how bright it is. I think that the new Urusei Yatsura looked the same, and I personally can't stand it. From what little I saw, it's missing some visual gags from the original series; maybe because they can't bother to animate such details nowadays, I don't know.I think it's very neat that just like in the original series Megumi Hayashibara is voicing Ranma-chan though. She's doing a more boyish version of the voice this time (maybe because of her age), which fits pretty neatly, so I like it.
>>282659215it's decent imo, a lot more enjoyable to watch than most of the seasonal slop that will air alongside it at least.The old anime is way comfier but it's also less true to the manga and full of filler. 12 episode cours are also gonna be way easier to digest than 161 episodes + OVAs + movies for someone new to the series. You can always watch the original series later if you like what you see.>>282661558faketroon, I'm 4 years younger than you and I had already finished the original series + manga + every other gender bender I could get my hands on by the age of like 14 lol. It's what got me into anime in the first place.if you wish to watch a guy turn into a girl then yeah Ranma will fulfill that for you. For future reference people would probably be more willing to give good recommendations if you ask less obnoxiously
>>282659215At the rate they release seasons it'll be 2050 when they finish it
ranma is built for Kuno clan
>>282659215>>282661404>>>/v/
>>282661558
>>282659215It censored all the nudity with either objects covering up fem Ranma or with Barbie Doll nudity, you can't even claim it is faithful to the manga since it added 2 anime original characters, changed some of the scenes like adding a scene where Ryoga hits Azusa's nose or skipping chapters like this upcoming season is confirmed to be doing, they censored the word "China" and Ranma's commie outfit and also made Ranma in general more girly (he doesn't really seem bothered by the curse anymore), that being said you will probably like it if you didn't read the manga or didn't watch the 1989 anime
>>282669110The final arc of the manga had various nude scenes so those will end up looking real stupid in the remake if they end up spamming Barbie doll nudity, unless they change it so the girls are wearing clothes even in the bath somehow
>>282659215you need to read the manga and or watch the old anime to get the oldfag experience.The new anime is rushed af and it's not even accurate to the manga as some fans want you to believe.It's basically urusei remake all over again but at least urusei had a better fandom and better heroine.
>>282659215>Is the new Ranma worth watching/will I like it?Yes, it's worth watching. I don't know if you'll like it how the fuck should I know. It's an action comedy show and it succeeds at that.The original anime is better at least for me since it's not rushing through arcs but this one is adapting the manga closer.The remake is obviously more modern when it comes to pacing, animation, look etc. Some people prefer the slower version of the original, the cel animation, the music etc but that's more depending on your own tastes. Either way it's a good story that most will enjoy no matter how they watch it.
>>282659215>No nipples>Ugly light pastel colors>Characters are less busty>More generic direction and animation>Dub doesn't have original vas (idk if >dub I like it) Nah, too bad it didn't look like this https://video-cdn4.gelbooru.com/images/ec/05/ec05d1a49751db169396ab4c09a67faa.mp4

>>282669110>added 2 anime original charactersAn announcer that replaces the various announcers that show up during fights. Essentially a background character.>they censored Ranma's commie outfitThe old anime removed the commie outfit altogether. It only appears as a cameo in one of the openings.>in general more girlyRanma acts the exact same way as he does in the manga.
>>282661558>>fights, story and MtF wish fulfillment read fabiniku
None of Rumiko's works are worth watching except for Inuyasha because they dont have real stories. You can watch the first dozen Ranma episodes, and the last 3 Ranka episodes and you will have missed nothing of worth between.They are sitcom anime. There is no deep meaning. No satisfying character arcs. They are the perfect anime to put on the TV while you are cleaning or doing other chores. About all they are actually good for.
New Ranma 1/2 figuarts line has been announced.
It's alright but not better than the original. It's only merit is that MAYBE they might adapt more of the manga
>>282674628her tits got smaller
>>282669110>it added 2 anime original charactersI don't remember this, which characters?
>>282659215Did they make her slimmer? Those are noodle arms. They could at least give some definition to her breasts, it looks like male Ranma puffing out his chest.
>>282659215Censored shit. The avatarfagging Rumikotards are even worse than DBS.
>>282674628Based Shampoo domination
>>282659215The original is better at its peaks, but it's also a bit of a drag compared to modern media.The remake has better pacing, but obviously lacks the soul of the hand-drawn late 80's show. If you have the time, I'd probably watch the first season of the original, and then cherrypick a few arcs and watch the original's OVAs.
>>282675553>He can't enjoy an anime unless it has explicit nudity and sexYou sound like a fun guy to be around. I'm sorry to hear that you hate shows like Inuyasha just because you can't jerk it to the centipede monster.
>>282659215If you've never watched the original, it's not awful, but it's worse than the original in literally every way and there's absolutely no sensible reason to watch the remake over it.
>>282676246OG Episode Guide1-2022-2729-3234-36395365-6979-808595-96107121-122141-142160-161All of the movies and OVAs
I enjoy the fact that the new series is seemingly skipping certain manga arcs, because this means that anime-onlies who only got into Ranma through the new series might now actually have reason to check out the old anime to see how those arcs were done thereIt would be legit interesting if the new series adapted every single arc, but it feels more and more unlikely, especially since a lot of the later (non-plot-relevant) stories feel especially short
>>282672740>Ranma acts the exact same way as he does in the manga.I don't remember Ranma rubbing Ryoga's dick in the manga and the OG anime
>>282676888>neither anime properly adapted the end of the skating arcWhat the fuck was up with that?
>>282676641>OG Episode Guideep guide for what? Non filler? manga arcs? episodes you personally like?
>>282678116It seems to be the nonfiller episodes, which cover the manga arcs. Though some of those episodes made certain changes from the manga stories
>>282678471the movies don't adapt anything from the manga.>>282676959>>neither anime properly adapted the end of the skating arcwhat was missing?
>>282678761Both of them basically rewrite the entire thing from the point Ryoga and Ranma become skating partners to the point Akane interrupts their battle.
>>282678761I didn't notice the movie part of that post; I was just looking at the episode list. I'm not the anon who made the ep guide. Though technically the phoenix one is counted as a "movie" since it was shown at some event with a bunch of anime short filmsI'd guess the anon was just recommending them then because they and the OVAs have high quality animation and should be pretty fun to watch. Though most of the OVAs do adapt manga arcs too
>>282679173>>282678761Meant to say: and the phoenix movie is actually adapting a manga arc
>>282676955Adaptation of this page. Awkward positioning adapted differently. I don't think this makes Ranma more girly.
>nu-ranma is not girly guise
>>282681051Not girlier. This is directly from the manga too.
>>282681051
>>282681148>>282681051And before you say anything about the bigger eyes, the character models were based on Rumiko Takahashi's later art style.
>>282681148ranma is not even blushing in the originaljust take the L lil bro
>>282681192
>>282681225the troon translators added thatin the japanese version it doesn't say anything at all
>>282681192>ranma is not even blushingnta, but I think you might be blind or something

>>282681316>>282681249
>>282681450>>282681402I don't know why your scans are missing it, but this is clearly Takahashi's original.
>>282681402I wonder what was in that suspicious square shaped edit somebody made
>>282681402Nice photoshop edit you got there retard.
>>282681503Rumiko has no creative control over re-releases of his old workthe original ranma was manly even while in female form
>>282661470On the contrary, I was going to post that, for people who actually read the manga, this adaption is way better than the original anime. Also there are many anons who clearly didn't watch the old anime, since it had many episodes with horrendous animation quality.
>>282681568>hisfuck off newfaggot
>>282681568Yeah... super manly.
>>282681991I can feel the manliness radiating from girl Ranma here.
>>282676246>P-Chan can solo the Kuno siblings and give Shampoo and Mousse some troublewho the fuck came up with these stats?
>>282681880>>282681991the covers are non-canon coombait to make you buy manga ranma in original run is manly in all forms
>>282682059only this P-chan can
>>282682059Shogakukan editors in charge of the wideban reprints, I guess. Rumiko definitely doesn't think in terms of stats. She says "I don't know" to almost any fighting question.
>>282682180I think she would definitely have something to say about Akane, Mousse, Shampoo and Kodachi all being placed at the same level of intelligence
Ranma should have ended up with a guy. It'd be the ultimate gag to end the manga on. Man amongst men, with a harem of girls, becomes a wife.
>>282682635Rumiko would have puked with that idea
>>282676246This is casually calling Akane stupid.
>>282682095That's true. Now that I think about it, I can't recall girl Ranma ever not acting manly within the manga.
>>282681402>>282681402>>282681450I'm not that anon but I do think the new anime changed this a little compared to the manga. Like in the original manga this reaction looks naturalistic (he does the same thing in male form while saying the same line) and in the new anime they animate it like it's meant to be fake.Either that or they downplayed MALE Ranma's reaction in the new anime so that he's blushing less than he did in the original manga, thus making female Ranma seem girlier by comparison while in the original this moment felt more equal.
>>282682452People aren't ready to admit that Akane's dumb as fuck (or more like, almost everyone in the manga's dumb as fuck) and Ranma's actually not and maybe part of the reason he sticks with her is because he knows that like. She doesn't always entirely mean the way she lashes out at him (like, maybe her first reaction wouldn't be punching everyone if she were smarter), or something.You can kinda see Ranma's smarter than Akane just through how in some situations Ranma's trying to verbally explain shit to her/reason with her while Akane's not listening and just punching shit. This sounds like Akane-bashing and I admit I'm not a fan of hers, but knowing she's actually deliberately written to be kind of dumb, or at least on the same level as most of the rest of the cast, does put things into perspective somewhat when it comes to their dynamic.
>>282683449He's blushing just as much in male form. The scene is near 1:1 with the manga.
>>282683793Manga for comparison.
>>282683633The main thing that makes me take intelligence with a grain of salt is that Happosai has it maxed out. He's undeniably the best fighter, so he has the best stats. But he's also an idiot who gets foiled all the time by much weaker fighters. So, it is battle intelligence and it doesn't account for basically any mitigating circumstances. He also has maxed out Heart, which is to laugh.
>>282683793I thought it seemed like he blushed less as a guy in the anime compared to the manga though, and that he should be blushing more in that screenshot. I guess I'd have to see the original page if it exists.
>>282683877>>282683859Hm did the anime not do the written sound effect for that scene? Maybe that's why it feels to me like they downplayed it a little
>>282683981It doesn't, the anime instead transitions to the abstract blue background.
>>282683449They definitely had Megumi deliver the line differently than the old anime, and made a point of including the detail from the manga of Girl Ranma nervously playing with her hair. Which with the way she's drawn in that scene and the pink hair makes her look and sound very girly.Guy Ranma while he blushes and looks down is not quite the same because he does not play with his hair.
what manga arc adaptations did the OG anime fuck up? Any arcs it did better?
>>282684241Basically everything in S2-S7, which was a lower budget show called Ranma 1/2 Nettohen in Japan. Off the top of my head the biggest fuck ups are:- takeout race (doesn't even resemble the manga's story beyond episode's theme)- cat's tongue (changed from beach to snow mountain)- dojo destroyer (almost as bad as takeout race)- Ryoga goes home (fan favorite story that was completely skipped, Ryoga's dog is later introduced in a heavily altered way involving Sasuke)- happo fire burst (heavily altered to keep the status quo of Happosai)- weakness moxibustion (animation quality here is horrendous for such a major story arc)
>>282661495Tiny mouth >>282669110Also the remake's colors are too bright
>>282684241Better than the manga? Maybe some of the smaller one-off stories the OAV expanded into serving as a going away exhibition for the whole cast.As for what it fucked up...The phoenix pill.The take out race.Ryoga's sister and the puppies were left out despite evidence of prep work.Principal Kuno's intro.The hot spring three legged race.Ranma's engagement to Nabiki.The conclusion of Pantyhose Taro's intro.For how much filler the old series had, a lot of those are from them rushing through manga stories.
if they don't show lanma nude at least once, the show will flop
Saturday, boys, We are back.
>>282659215Art already looks good, so I'm sure you will, anon. :P
>>282671692The VHS version got denoised by FFMpeg's filter palette dithering.While Blu-ray version got filming noise to clean out VHS's display glitches.
>>282659215>If I liked shows like Naruto and FMAB, will I like Ranma?It's nothing like those shows. it's fine though, only nostalgiafags get mad at the new variant.
Rumiko Takahashi just had an interview with the live action actress of Akane, and she confirmed Akane's first love (not crush, love, first love specifically which is kinda of a big deal in Japan) was Tofu.I remember arguing with some cuck fag that kept saying it was just a crush.if you are reading this, i was fucking right all along.https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2409167/full/
>>282687104poor chinese hickboy will never compare to the doctor ranma should settle for ryoga
>>282687104Akane has SHIT TASTE, Rumiko confirmed
Ukyo /ss/
>>282687650>Akane has SHITftfy
Ukyo is getting some love in the latest collab art.
>>282689909don't avoid posting this latest gem "ukyofag" also finally nabiki and kasumi are getting attention
>>282684750Why are all anime series from the 2020s so bright?
>>282690006Nice. The Yokai one is my fav so far.
>>282690206i love it too, also this
Genuinely, what is the appeal of Akane? I don't understand it. I wanted to think it was a generational thing, but it seems like she's popular in the remake still.
>>282690539She's cute, clumsy, caring with gap moe. She's the butt of the joke as frequently as Ranma. Like Ranma, she can be the straight man or the character creating the jokes. She's fun to tease.
>>282676246>>282682059>>282682180Mouse and Shampoo having the same power is ridiculous, especially after his jizo statue power up. I also don't remember Shampoo doing anything that would put her speed above Mousse and Ryoga. Also, Kuno and Akane having the same power is ridiculous. In one of Kuno's first scuffles with Ranma, he somewhat impressed him by wounding him with just the air pressure of his strike, and later the air pressure of his strikes shattered stone. That's not even getting into what happens when there are watermelons.
>>282690590>She's fun to teaseIt usually doesn't end very well for Ranma whenever he teases her.
>>282690590>She's the butt of the joke as frequently as Ranma.Is she? Especially early on, it feels like the narrative bends over backwards to make her every issue and hurt feeling come off justified. Watching the first season of the reboot, she came off spoiled and annoying.
>>282690590The problem is that she's a kill joy and as much as I like short hair it makes akane look worse.
>>282659215Just watch the original. One or two episodes a night on weekdays. By the time you get to the end of it you'll be aching for more, and you'll watch Urusei Yatsura, Inuyasha, Maison Ikkoku, and then watch Ranma again. And you'll do that for the rest of your life, and you'll never need to watch the new series because it's garbage.
>>282690591Kuno should have better technique. He's not strong he's just better with swinging a sword.
>>282676246This puts Shampoo at having higher stats than Ryoga. Ryoga at 21 and a half, and Shampoo at 22. Dumb.
>>282690608Oh no, he gets kicked away and then runs back to do it again. Big deal. He still keeps doing it.>>282690651>>282690688Her reactions are part of the bit. Same way with Ranma.
>>282690811That's not the "butt of the joke." Ranma says something crass, and then get punished for it. That's the framing of every Ranma and Akane interaction.
>>282690539She's cute and generally one of the nicer cast members in the manga. The teasing dynamic she has with Ranma is fun.
>>282664772the people bitching about Ranchan's hair have legitimately never read the manga.
>>282661625the old anime is like 70% filler, and doesn't even adapt the final third of the manga.
Favorite Ranma quote let's go>...>...?>You may date her
i wish the show were more popular so that we'd get more onlyfans sloots cosplaying ranma
>>282671158the old series never had a consistent dub anyway, and most of the VAs from it are retired and have fallen off the face of the earth. I would've liked for Richard Cox to come back for male Ranma, though
>>282691231it's 35 years old. In the 90s you would've had some cosplayers dressing up as her (Lum was far more common though)
>>282690846>nicerlmao ukyo and arguably mousse had nicer moments>teasing dynamic with ranma is funthe teasing is them fighting over mundane shit and misunderstandings, what a tease.
>>282690539aggressive tsundere characters like her were rare back then. Ranma is pre-Evangelion, remember. Akane and Shinobu from UY basically defined the archetype.
>>282690590>She's the butt of the joke as frequently as Ranma. have we watched/read the same manga? she is absolutely never the butt of the joke, she is basically mocked by ranma but ranma is immediately beated for it and it's framed as Ranma being a mean guy and we are supposed to empathize with Akane, while when Ranma gets misunderstood we are supposed to empathize STILL with Akane and not at all with Ranma.She has one of the worst excuses for behaving the way she does in all romcoms, only masochists and self inserting women like her.
>>282691318>ukyo and moussepeople forget about Kasumi, but Kasumi is the only true "nice" character in Ranma.
>>282660006Pink hair is like yellow eyes, a good colour that should also exist IRL.As usual, anime is right and reality is wrong
>>282691419yellow eyes do exist. they're a light form of hazel
>>282691348I was surprised to find out Kagome has more people disliking her than Shinobu, like I get it's because Kagome got more exposure, but Kagome is not tsundere at all yet she got a lot of backlash
>>282691318Ukyo is more of a schemer in the manga, which always ends up backfiring on her.
>>282659215The remake was made exclusively for Akane self inserters, aka Rumiko. But I'm kind of glad that they are breaking the lie caused by the original anime that Ranma is a harem.
>>282691459she is Ranma's childhood friend, she has a right to want to spend time with him, you could say Ranma is the only thing reminiscing of her childhood.
>>282691502isn't ukyo also the promise girl trope? didn't ranma made a promise to marry her when he was a child or something? the most cliche anime/vn romance trope
>>282691452it's because Inuyasha was 50x more popular in the west than Urusei Yatsura was. only hardcore otaku even know who Shinobu is, meanwhile millions of normalfags and women grew up watching Inuyasha on Adult Swim. I guarantee if AS had aired UY, Shinobu would be just as hated.
>>282691373I think the thing I found most jarring was watching the remake, and seeing the hair cutting scene. Rumiko talks like this is such a good, and pivotal moment, but like... it's just Akane trying to get in-between Ranma and Ryoga's fight, and making it about herself? Akane is going in there, trying to warn Ranma that Ryoga is strong. No shit? You got any functional advice? Like a weak point, or something? No? Just trying to tell Ranma that the big guy with muscles he's fighting can hit hard. Then she gets her hair cut, and everyone stops stunned, like it's so awful.
>>282691547women worship their hair. They see it as a core part of their identity as a woman. When it gets cut, especially against their will, they genuinely see it as a form of rape. Like a part of their identity was forcibly stolen from them. It's why stories focused on women often have them get a hair cut after a major emotional event in their life; it's symbolism for them "becoming a different person".
>>282691528He did but completely forgot about it, leading to a hilarious misunderstanding between him and Ukyo/Akane.
>>282691576Yeah, I understand that. It can be viewed as the "female version of castration." Which is a fucking conversation unto its own, jesus christ, but it's more the framing. That whole fight was "hey Ranma! Ranma! Look out! Ryoga is strong! Pay attention to me, and what you already fucking know." Then she gets a haircut, and cries. Total annoying toddler energy.
>>282691597well, she is a woman
>>282691547That's not how it went at all in the manga. I haven't watched the new anime, but it sounds like it made a lot of changes.
>>282691547Rumiko just got tired of Akane's hair which I mean her original hair was probably a hassle compared to other long haired characters but the new cut was shit.
>>282692257Akane grew out her hair to be more like Kasumi, because she saw her crush Dr Tofu had the hots for her sister. At some point, she realises it's futile, so when her hair gets cut she decides to keep it short like it used to be. It fits in with the stereotype of girls changing their haircut after character development.
>>282692257nabiki has short hair and is total sexo
>>282692388Sure but she looked better with long hair and her current haircut sucks shit. She's the plainest looking of the cast and the fact that she's a wetblanket makes her annoying. >>282692424Yeah. I don't get how she could mess up so hard with Akane.
>>282692257>>282692453She modeled Akane's hair after her own. It's just self-insert stuff.
>>282692475her hair was shinobu, because if you see her model when she draws herself its basically shinobu's hair, some people said it's nabiki but nabiki doesn't have messy hair.
>>282692566Her being Shinobu explains so much, since she had to fucking cuck herself in her own manga.
does wanting to fuck fem!ranma make me a fag?
>>282659215It has shonen elements but it's more focused on the comedy which lands most of the time IF you already enjoy comedy anime, that said and considering you already watched FMAB, I think you will enjoy it.It's far less serious than most shonen but it's good, some will complain about censorship but they fail to consider two things, one is that nudity in anime isn't just a pink point on the chest these days, if they were to draw a nipple, it would have to be detailed, and two, japanese law doesn't allow it. Personally I would prefer to have nudity but I get why it isn't there.
>>282693489do you think inuyasha is better or worse than ranma all things considered? i know they are different genres, but on engagement level which do you think does things better?
>>282694099NTA, but the more serious tone of Inuyasha definitely kept me more 'hooked'. I can't really sit down and watch a ton of Ranma episodes in one go because the show is pretty shallow, the jokes wear thin pretty quick. If you treat it more like a comfort show you can put on and watch 2-3 episodes of when you need a pick-me-up or can't think of anything else to watch, I could find it more palatable. I just get burnt out on heavily episodic stuff like that. This includes the more episodic stretches of Inuyasha, too.
>>282659457Fpbp >>282669110>>282684750Demake Ranma is way too skinny
>>282672740>The old anime removed the commie outfit altogether. It only appears as a cameo in one of the openings.WRONG!!!! the commie outfit appears outside the opening, it appears when Ranma tries to date Tsubasa thinking he was a girl and it appears again in the anime original portion of the OVAs
>>282694453they should either either bring it completely back or just change the outfit all together.What's the point of keeping a censored commie outfit.
>>282694481urusei yatsura had this outfits
>>282691373>>282690834If you don't understand how Akane's stupid faces over basic bitch insults is a gag about her, you don't understand Ranma 1/2. They both get to be the boke. The only reason people think otherwise is because the original anime took shit too seriously. You get a couple of scenes in the entire manga where Ranma hurting Akane is played dramatically. >>282691547The idea is that Ryoga is the first character whose strength is known as superhuman. Akane didn't know Ranma was that strong and thought that he needed to stop fighting. Ranma and Ryoga could just stop fighting, Ranma could leave. And that's exactly what they do when their fight ends up having consequences (cut hair). But no, Akane isn't just "right" and Ranma isn't just "wrong". It is also a moment where Ranma gets to be tsundere, hurling insults at her being useless when he clearly just wants her safe.
>>282694522I guarantee they'd still keep this in today. Too many wehraboos.
>>282691373>she is absolutely never the butt of the jokeNabiki ruins Akane's shirt, making her angry and gets beaned. Then Ranma laughs at the situation, making her angry leading to them both getting beaned. Akane absolutely is the butt of the joke at times, it's a gag manga.
>>282690097Looks like the post processing teams want to stay employed so they apply heavy amounts of effects so it looks like they are needed. One of the largest differences between cel animation from any time period before the 2000's compared to modern digital animation is the use of post processing that wasn't practical effects. Now they add bloom, wash out the colors of characters to imply ambiance, and destroy the lineart of any characters which is why you won't see any purely black lines. It's always washed out gray lineart.
>>282676246I know Ryoga is slower and has worse technique than Ranma, but does he really have more power and stamina? He has some powerful moves but I was under the impression he was weaker in just about every way, except maybe durability. Ryoga is my favorite character too.
>>282698551Ryoga had tard strength
>>282690006Everyone has swag except Akane and Ranma dressed like seniors
>>282690006I cut myself every time the Kuno siblings don't appear in one of these things
>>282691452>>282691546>Shinobu>Akane>Kagome>all the most disliked and worst girls of their respective seriesI don’t know why Rumiko insists on keep pushing her shitty self-inserts down our throats, hasn’t she learned that nobody likes them? It’s giving Chris-Chan levels of Sonichu shit with the way she feels the need to constantly shill herself like that, well at least I heard her newest ones from Rinne and Mao are toned down some at least.>>282692596>Her being Shinobu explains so much, since she had to fucking cuck herself in her own manga.Fun fact: Ranma is basically just Rumiko’s do-over of UY since she seethed so much over Lum cucking Shinobu, she decided to reboot the concept with Ranma only replacing ayyys with trannies for the comedy gimmick of the series and making sure this time around that her self-insert absolutely will not get dethroned. That’s why Shampoo is such a shameless Chinese Lum expy, but much more “evil” this time around so that her popularity wouldn’t overshadow her self-insert like last time.
>>282694379>stretching the manga version to fit your narrativeHow disingenuous
>>282659215>What is the target audience of the show?AGP troons and chasers, unironically.>>282682650>Rumiko would have puked with that ideaRumiko force-feminizes Ranma herself what with how much she whores them out and even hints at shipping them with Kuno and Ryoga.
>>282691433I mean yellow-yellow/golden
>>282691452>Kagome>not a tsundereYes she is, all of Rumiko’s self-inserts are one. (except her newest ones from Rinne and Mao), why would you think she’s not a tsundere?
>>282687104was there any doubt Tofu was her first love? That crying scene aint for a crush.
>>282694099>do you think inuyasha is better or worse than ranma all things considered? i know they are different genres, but on engagement level which do you think does things better?Ranma easily, you could tell that Inuyasha was clearly Rumiko out of her element. She wanted to try a new thing and dip her toes into the traditional battle shonen adventure genre, but had barely any experience writing anything plot heavy or structured and it fucking shows.It quickly devolves into her common Rumic habits of repetitive status-quo, and while that might work for previous works which were mostly episodic sitcoms and gag manga, it’s the death knell when it comes to a more plot-based ones. Genuinely you could cut out like 90% of the entire middle of the Inuyasha manga and nothing would change, it really was just spinning it’s wheels with nearly the same damn thing happening over and over again and barely any plot progression or changes to the established status quo.It was an interesting experiment but even Rumiko realized she was in way over her head because she immediately returned to the genre she knows best that is Rinne (which she’s described as a sort of “comfort series” for her to draw) right after and seems almost sort of ashamed or embarrassed by Inuyasha from the way she treats the IP. (Namely letting Sunrise absolutely destroy it’s reputation with that abomination fanfic Yashahime)
>>282699797Anon Rinne started 15 years ago. She hasn't had an annoying protagonist in nearly two decades. Sakura Mamiya is so kuudere that she makes Rei Ayanami look emotional.
>>282676246>Akane is low in heart and intelligence>Akane is also her self-insertWhat did Rumiko mean by this? Is she low-key calling herself out? What does the “heart” stat even mean?
>>282701753THEHEART
ranma has canonically seen akane completely naked
>>282702213So she’s calling Akane (and thus also herself) the second most heartless member of the cast? Ouch.
fem-ranma doing that overly cute face is funny as fuck
>>282702238>>282659215The most unrealistic thing about this series isn’t the curse, but the fact that a healthy heterosexual teenage boy with raging hormones like Ranma who has a hot-ass female form he has access to whenever he wants doesn’t deliberately transform in order to examine and perv on himself.He really must be gay because no way would any self-respecting straight man not automatically take advantage of that at every opportunity, nor would they ever want to get rid of their sexy girl form that gives them free groping and fapping material..
>>282702371he's a healthy heterosexual teenage boy why would he behave like an agp tranny?
>>282701753>Is she low-key calling herself out?Well according to that image being attracted to Akane/Rumiko is highly correlated with extreme retardation
the cutest moment
>>282702238Ryoga and Shampoo have also seen each other completely naked
>>282659215it's more faithful to the mangaog anime saw ranma and akane bickering a lot and thought they legit hated eachother. it also mistook happosai for a role model.frankly nothing beats the manga but i prefer the remake over the og anime in evetything but looks. i'm a sucker for cell animation. oh and og anime has titsmanga > remake >> og anime
reminder kuno is the best character>>282702494who cares
>>282702528It means seeing someone naked doesn't mean shit and isn't romantic in Goonma 1/2. And you misspelled "Ukyo" btw
did the editor twist Takahashi's arm to make Tsubasa and Konatsu cross-dressing men instead of lesbians? Or did she really just like the cross-dresser reveal gag? I don't care either way just curious
>Season 2 OP openly shows Happosai making off with a bra there at the endWtf I thought he was going to be censored for the “modern audience?” How are they getting away with this in 2025?
>>282702668>It means seeing someone naked doesn't mean shit and isn't romanticit is when it's ranma and akane because they have chemistry >inb4 ryoga and ukyo crackship
>>282702475
>>282702701>Ryoga/Ukyo>crackshipEven the manga acknowledged it, see here >>282691459 and I was always told it was purely an anime-only thing.
>>282702669I don't think there's a definite answer from Rumiko, but I'd assume she just wanted to go for a theme of feminine/gender-nonconforming men given that they're associated with Ukyo, who's female but can present as male.
>>282702729that was literally a gag, did you read the chapter? They were meddling to split up ranma and akane and were constantly fighting, this is your brain on crackships>>282702730yes its pretty funny that ukyo attracted not one but two cross-dressers
>>282702701>it is when it's ranma and akane because they have chemistryNo they have authorial forcing. They should have a restraining order insteadRanma x Ukyo master race (the only rational and healthy relationship in the entire series)
>>282702669It’s a tranny-themed manga, so of she’s include two actual regular trannies in addition to the one who only got turned into tranny because of a magical curse.Will be eagerly awaiting the shitstorm for how the trannylizers will handle Tsubasa and Konatsu once they finally appear by the way.
>>282702765A crackship is one where the characters in question never even interact let alone have their ship even acknowledged by the canon material.Ryoga/Ukyo is non-canon sure, but it’s not an outright crackship.
>>282702669She had already done it in UY so i guess she just likes it
>>282702812Rumiko is so obsessed with troons one would think “she” is simply a closeted troon herself and that’s the real reason she never got married, haha…
>>282702779>Ranma x Ukyo master raceactually based Imagine if instead of the final retarded battle arc we had a few mini arc to better develop ranma x akane instead of ending the manga in a place where it seems ukyo and Shinnosuke were better matches for them
>>282702779>>282702873>Ranma/UkyoRumiko hates that ship though and has gone on record stating that they’d never work.
>>282702906Despite everyone shipping ranma with the best girls, Ranma himself is an ass he deserves to be with the equally bad akane
>>282702407>he's a healthy heterosexual teenage boy why would he behave like an agp tranny?Anon… This entire series is for AGP trannies.
>almost no ryoga x male ranma artdid fujos completely avoid this series? crazy>>282702906i dont care, she had 400 chapters to draw that into her manga>>282702954but ranma is not agp
>>282659215trannies ruines it, it was cool at the time
>>282702947ascended take, akane and ranma deserve each other
>>282702977For the age and popularity of this series it barely has any artTho if anything Ryoga and Ranma is the most popular ship
>>282702980>trannies ruines itTranny thread, tranny series.
>>282702873By the time of the final arc she had checked out of the series and was just making proto-Inuyasha. She probably forgot that she needed to actually show that Ranma and Akane were maturing and could evolve out of the tsundere shit before the series ended>>282702906Because she was butthurt that yet another rival was outshining the "heroine". She couldn't make her openly homicidal like with Shampoo or that would be repetitive. Instead she just seethed and tried to claim that constant abuse and mistrust (Rankane) is actually good and that Ukyo would "ruin" Ranma... by being too nice. Of course despite the fact that this makes no sense, she goes ahead tries to make Ukyo into Shampoo 2.0 as the series progresses until she is bombing a wedding like a deranged lunatic
>>282702977>but ranma is not agpWhy does his girl form get the most amount of fanservice out of all the characters and is also forced into force-feminizing scenarios with Kuno and Ryoga then?
>>282703040yes but at the time it was like "haha guy turns into girl, embarrasing, nice tits", but now we know a lot of people are willing to cut their own balls for a fetish, it's not funny anymore
>>282703039>For the age and popularity of this series it barely has any arti think thats just the fate of gag manga>>282703073the fuck does that have to do with ranma's character? It's happenstance and he clearly dislikes his curse
>>282703076Rumiko deliberately whored Ranma out like they were some kind of fetish in the series itself though…
>>282703105yeah, but at the time you could take it as embarrasing and funny, if you did the same with the girls it would come out as rapey and cruel, which is fine for some series but this one was too lighthearted for that. of course now we know the truth about trannies so it's not funny anymore
>>282703105Ranma himself whored himself out if he had something to gain from it>>282703159Stfu dweeb
>>282659215Her hair drawn like the teeth of a circular saw killed any interest i might have had
>>282703237>Ranma himself whored himself out if he had something to gain from itbut agps arent homosexual trannies, that's a different type, agps are pornbrained perverts
>>282703315>but agps arent homosexual trannies, that's a different type, agps are pornbrained pervertsYes, and they whore themselves out to men because it makes them feel even more like a girl and they get off on force-feminization and sissification. Look up Meta Attraction, it’s an actual thing.
>>282702678It's not. The only censorship is nudity (due to broadcast regulations - Inuyasha and later seasons of the old Ranma anime were also censored) and China imagery (presumably due to politcal conflict between Japan and China). The new anime as a whole is more faithful to the manga, which diverted into its own thing after season 1.
>>282703056>She probably forgot that she needed to actually show that Ranma and Akane were maturing and could evolve out of the tsundere shit before the series endedThat would be boring though>Instead she just seethed and tried to claim that constant abuse and mistrust (Rankane) is actually good and that Ukyo would "ruin" Ranma... by being too nice.Yeah, because that’s a boring dynamic compared to two tsunderes constantly butting heads.
>>282703333Nta, but at the end Ranma is very much about toxic masculinity. Ranma is super comfy taking full advantage of feminine viles to get pampered and eating sweet stuff without being called unmanly. It was ahead of its time for sure, but it got all ruined by trannies making everything about themselves.
>>282659215Visually, it's inferior, mostly because the original pretty much defined what retro anime looked like to people, especially in the West. It was quite an achievement, and the new show, with its more basic character models and pastel colors, doesn't reach those highs. Also yeah, like some people keep mentioning, nipples stopped being okay since the 80s, so none of that can be found in the show anymore (and Ranma is also not as curvy, which is a shame).On the other hand, it's FAR more faithful to Takahashi's actual manga. This was an actual problem with the original - quite often, they would just make shit up, and while something similar also happened to Urusei Yatsura, the writers on Ranma weren't as talented, and often misunderstood Takahashi's ideas completely. For example, they would often make Ranma a prankster who enjoyed screwing with people as a woman, but Takahashi would always focus on the fact that Ranma was a shonen-brained jock who didn't like being in a comedy show. That's the main joke in Ranma - it's a battle shonen manga where the main heroes just wanna kick each other's asses, but the universe always has other plans. They also fucked Akane up pretty badly, turning her into an unlikeable BDP whore, while putting Shampoo on a pedestal.Also, it's 12 fucking episodes, you can finish it in a single sitting, compared to 150 episodes of the original. Just watch it, and then check out the original.
>>282682059She got multi-combo'd by a pig
>>282703495>That's the main joke in Ranma - it's a battle shonen manga Ranma is an episodic romcom sitcom, not a traditional battle shonen. Its primary goal is to make you the reader laugh, not excite you with heart-pounding fights. All the fights in it turn out to be a joke or parody/satire on actual battle shonen manga.
>>282699797>all the most disliked and worst girls of their respective seriesFact: Kagome is the most popular girl from Inuyashahttps://www.furinkan.com/features/articles/toprumic-chara.htmlAnother fact: you are an annoying spammer
>>282676246Besides the questionable numbers, these stats are missing a very important stat for fighting: durability.
>>282676246By this Ryoga and Ranma tie for "Best in Bed"!
>>282691219
>>282692566Curious how none of the supposed Rumiko self-inserts have glasses
>>282704987>Curious how none of the supposed Rumiko self-inserts have glassesShe wants to imagine herself as more attractive than she really is.
>>282691373>she is absolutely never the butt of the jokeNot as much as Ranma, but she definitely is.
>>282690539You are probably thinking of the OG anime Akane, which is much more violent and unlikeable.Manga Akane is sweeter and more supportive.Plus, she's cute af.
