It's finally time for the delivery girl race!
>>283456896A-akane san... y-you watched the episode without me?... doushite...
These early arcs do make for a more coherent story when almost everyone is involved each arc. I don't remember when it is that the recurring cast starts to drift away and it's mostly just the Tendo Dojo plus one-shot characters of the week.
The episode can at least not be worse than how badly the old anime raped this arc.
Why do people say that Late Series Ryoga is a lot nicer than Early Series Ryoga?
Fuck Shampoo
>>283457667He chills down a lot after he gets a girlfriend and stops trying to fight Ranma over Akane.
>>283457747Who is his GF? A new character?
>>283457808Akari, I think introduced around Volume 30. Vastly more attractive than Akane in every possible way. Only Ranma girl I found romantically appealing.
>>283457808Akari Unryu. She comes from a family that raises sumo pigs. Her grandfather decreed her that she marry a man who beat their sumo pig champion Katsunishiki. And Ryoga unintentionally did without breaking a sweat. Unfortunately Akari doesn't appear until much much later in the manga.https://ranma.fandom.com/wiki/Akari_Unryu
Wow, they rewrote the entire scene explaining why Akane enters the race. Was the original "too sexist" or something?
some nipples slipped through the disney checks it seem
>>283458145How is Soun being bribed with food sexist? I supposed they changed the reason since it felt kinda weak for Akane to join the delivery race.
>>283457734Gladly.
so much feet
>>283458569Her being forced to enter for such a weak reason is the entire joke though.
>>283457667He's pretty much Ranma's best friend
>>283459002>>283459002>He's pretty much Ranma's fuckbuddy and husbandFTFY
>>283459074>t.Ranma
>>283459074That was a weird chapter.
>>283459280is it still gay when he turns into a woman though
>>283459309Yes>>283459280Cant believe they had ntr brainwashing arc. Rumiko was more wild than you would think.
>>283456896They cut out the Breaking Point arc so that they could do a promo for a mobile game... Porkbros... Mappa doesn't care about us...
When does that old fart that constantly steals underwear first show up in the manga?Have we already reached that point?
>>283459517Not cut out, delayed for S3.
>>283456896Good episode, very funnyNext week we'll finally be free of shampoo, but the devil incarnate is coming.
>>283459621Have they even confirmed a season 3?
>>283459711It's pretty obvious it will have a third season. The first 2 seasons are clearly a set up to introduce the main cast of the series.
>>283459569Literally next week.
>>283459517They won't cut out one of the most important and memorable story arcs in the manga. There was already promotional art for Breaking Point prior to season 2's airing.
>>283459621Compare how they animated the Mousse fight vs the beach fight and it's clear that they don't wanna spend any money on action scenes involving only men.... they'll have Ryoga appear in S3 having already learned it and summarize how he did it in slideshow flashbacks
>>283459904Meds, now. At the highest dose possible.
>>283459840Nice. I'm curious how they'll handle him.
>>283459904That's utter bullshit. The Mousse fight in the remake was precisely how it was portrayed in the manga. They won't skip Breaking Point arc and make Ryoga learn it off screen. It's too relevant to the story especially when Ryoga uses it many times. You're clearly talking out of your ass and making shit up.
>>283460121His take is so extreme that he might just be trolling for fun
Here's some actual censorship."from the hands of a man" got changed to "from the hands of the likes of you". Can't have Kuno being a sexist pig, you know.
>>283460296And this line was cut completely.
>>283460296>>283460717Kuno clearly said "From the hands of just any man" in the manga. Why did you deliberately change it? And in the anime remake he said "never obediently eat something you give". It really doesn't make much of a difference.So what if they cut out that particular scene? It quite obvious that Kuno is a sexist pig and they don't need to spell it out. Seriously you censorshipfags are making such a fuss over a trivial matter and trying to paint it like they watered it down or catering to LGBTQ.
>I only ship Ranma and Akane together because that's canon!This is who you are hurting when you say that. Still think it's okay?
>>283461017Shampoo would friendzone me, so yes
>>283461008>Kuno clearly said "From the hands of just any man" in the manga. That's just Viz being weird. It's just "a man" in the manga, not "just any man".Manga:>Otoko no dashita kuimono wo sunao ni kuu Kunou Tatewaki de wa nai wa!!Anime:>Kisama nanzo ga deshita mono wo sunao ni kuu Kunou Tatewaki de wa nai wa!!
>>283461121>deshita*dashita
>>283461145Oops, typo
>>283460296>>283461121Some of his lines were changed or omitted in season 1 too.
>>283461008When they keep 99.9% of the dialogue from the manga verbatim, it's interesting to see what stuff they decide to change.
>>283456896The artstyle in this one was so fucking bad. That happens when you blow the whole budget into last weeks episode and into the veteran voice cast instead of hiring new cheap ones. Fuck you MAPPA
>>283461506>That happens when you blow the whole budget into last weeks episode and into the veteran voice cast instead of hiring new cheap onesImplying that most of an anime's budget goes to the seiyuus. It isn't like a Hollywood movie where major actors/actresses gets the lion's share. This episode's art style wasn't bad at all dumbass. They just had a different key animator whose style wasn't the same as the last 4 episodes, If you want bad art style you can check some episodes from the OG anime.
For Happosai, they will probably adapt his introductory episode and the one where he pretends to be P-Chan.
>>283461737>the one where he pretends to be P-ChanYeah, we have footage from that. That's 3 chapters, the remake usually covers 3 or 4 each episode.
Can zoomzooms handle Happosai?
>>283461884I think only Japanese people are watching this.
>>283461884Last season I saw a lot of bitching about how awful and rapey Sanzenin was. So no.
>>283458512lol, it's a travesty
>>283462885maybe a little rebellion of whoever drew that because it was only a couple frames
>>283463050Someone call mappa. They need to fire this scoundrel asap
>>283461017If I was Ranma I'd only have eyes for her don't know how he cannot.
>>283464164He isn't some pervy, lust-filled character who runs after whores and goes for looks only.
Ukyo /ss/
>>283464257Uhhh he is male though
>>283464257>Shampoo>whore
>>283461017>Shampoo literally tried blackmailing Ranma by threatening to stay naked if he didn't agree to go on a date with her
>>283464307And?
>>283464349This is the third episode in a row where gets naked and jumps onto another man
>>283464349I'm sorry but randomly showing up in the bath of a guy she isn't dating to press her tits against him is pretty much whore behavior but it might just be me.
Post more Shampoo
>>283464541The same man.
>>283464737...she isn't dating/married to.
im tired of shampooOne consequence of changing the order of the stories in this bunch is that there's way too much Shampoo. Seriously, aside from the first episode and the Happosai stories, she's basically in every other episode
>>283465049The Happosai intro is probably gonna be only one episode. She still has the Dojo Destroyer and Mousse Returns arcs left for her so she will still be around a lot, maybe 3-4 more episodes.
>>283466457
>>283464832Engaged. She has to marry him by her laws.
>>283465049shampoo is the main girl of the series, of course she's going to be shown prominently after her debut
>Got forgotten by older fans>Is now being actively forgotten by new onesI haven't seen a single person ask where Kodachi is this season...
>>283467489She's probably taking care of the family's pet crocodile.
>>283467481>main girl>loses the Ranma bowl and will marry a blind duck >is hated by over 95% of actual (biological) female fanslmao
>>283467481>shampoo is the main girl of the series
>>283461017>>283467481>>283465049Shampoo and Ranma are the soulmates of the story after all
>>283468777Such soulmates that the author forgot to show a single instance of Ranma liking Shampoo outside of her jumping on him naked
>>283458512It's amazing how even just a little pink smudge looks better than Barbie doll tits.
>>283456896>every akane self insert be like
>>283469060>imagine liking a ship where the last thing in the manga the characters say to each other is "your fault" lol lmaoalso ranma is physically attracted to shampoo, and you can't do cope your way around it. Sorry
>>283458512Oh? Won't really appease anyone though.
>>283469216reminder to cuckanefags, ranma has feelings for akane because first girl syndrome and because he lived with her 24/7.Shampoo met Ranma under horrible conditions and that>>283469216was his reaction.And also this
>>283461017She's a big girl. There's plenty of fish in the sea.
>>283469288too bad ranma and akane were written years ago by a woman who never even married herself, so do you really think they got an happy ending lol
Shampoo was really cute when she deflected those knives. >>283458569Explanation seemed the same to me, though trimmed a bit.
>>283469380Yeah. I don't interpret goofy comfort media with the lens of the author's lifestyle.
>>283469060>>283468777>ranma x shampooOTP
>>283469216>also ranma is physically attracted to shampooAnd? So is Ryoga? Does that mean she is soulmates with him too? Shampoo is naked 24/7 and Ranma is a teenage boy. It's 100% shallow.>>283469277>reminder to cuckanefags, ranma has feelings for akane because first girl syndrome and because he lived with her 24/7.No he has feelings for her because she actually deeply loves and cares about the real him and his feelings and knows how to cut through his BS and not be a blind and dumb sexbot like a certain someone.>Shampoo met Ranma under horrible conditions and that>>283469216was his reaction.Just lust, nothing more. He also blushes a lot more around Akane the difference being that there is no physical contact, Ranma finds her genuinely attractive>that interviewAkane is "at a disadvantage" because Shampoo excels over he physically. It doesn't mean that she is beneath Shampoo. I also love how that image also shows that Shampoo is a pushy bitch just like everyone knows (except Shampoofags)
>>283467489That scene where Ranma made her cry got to me and still does. Her "ehs" are the best. Kodachi is best girl and the only one who acknowledges her unrequited love which makes her better than Shampoo.
Good episode. They didn't even stick to the exact framing as the manga either, but none of the adjustments bothered me. All the girls were cute.
>>283469552>shallowohh you mean like two retarded teenagers fighting all the time means romance right? lmaoShampoo and Ranma are shipped because of the of things they have in common and the things they balance each other on, Ranma and Akane because are shipped because people haven't moved past teenage romance.>No he has feelings for her because she actually deeply loves and cares about the real him and his feelings and knows how to cut through his BS and not be a blind and dumb sexbot like a certain someone.you are a retard, akane calls ranma a pervert until the very end of the manga lol, despite knowing him the "best" she is the only character that assumes the worst of him out of every situation.Literally blaming Ranma rather than Happosai on some occasions because she thinks that low of him, it's no surprise Ranma thinks that's normal given how shitty his father treats him. >He also blushes a lot more around Akane the difference being that there is no physical contact, Ranma finds her genuinely attractiveYou are so dense, he literally stares at her face and later on the rooftop says he didn't realize she was that cute, and when she leaves he says "what a waste"fuck off and learn to read a manga without filtering everything for your ship which even the author said Ranma would have been into Shampoo if she didn't turn into a cat.>disadvantage means excel physicallyLmaooo Rumiko is literally talking about romance in the post, she is not talking about for fighting, the question was about rival in romance, what a coope
>>283469577>pretending to like other girls because they don't threaten the piece of shit self insert
>>283469552>crying this muchcope
>>283469277>>283469380Ranma has feelings for Akane because Akane is Rumiko's self insert, and her stories are always about shitting on every other woman to make her self insert look good. That is the sole reason why Shampoo exists, just to be a stand in for whatever girls she was jealous of. That's what all of her stories are, just revenge fantasies for a nerdy outcast who hates other women.
>>283470117Rumiko doesn't hate other women.
>>283470172She failed the bechdel test technically.
>>283470015>ohh you mean like two retarded teenagers fighting all the time means romance right? lmaoYeah both Ranma and Akane act like teenagers. Your point? They match well together and have the same level of maturity. They weren't raised as autistic killer sex warriors in a backwater Chinese village. >Shampoo and Ranma are shipped Nobody "ships" them. Shampoofags don't actually care about Ranma, they just use him as an accessory for Shampoo. The irony being this is exactly the same type of relationship Shampoo wants with Ranma in the story. >Ranma and Akane because are shipped because people haven't moved past teenage romance.They aren't "shipped" they are the story itself. Shampoo exists for the sole reason of being a funny obstacle for Ranma and Akane. That people began to inflate her importance doesn't change the fact or how Shampoo is actually written by author. >you are a retard, akane calls ranma a pervert until the very end of the manga lolRanma does the same thing to her and assumes she is after Ryoga when she is just being nice to him. Same deal. As stated above they are both teenagers and they are both tsunderes. They are possessive and note that Ranma is jealous when people get near Akane but doesn't give a crap when anyone wants Shampoo. Akane doesn't actually think Ranma is a pervert same as Ranma doesn't actually think Akane is a whore it's for comedic purposes. Shampoo on the other hand is an actual whore and that is where is value lies. >says he didn't realize she was that cute, and when she leaves he says "what a waste"One throw away scene? Wow that totally makes up for volumes upon volumes of stories surrounding Ranma loving Akane. Shampoofags have managed to get even more delusional than they were in the 90's>Lmaooo Rumiko is literally talking about romance in the post,She is talking about shallow infatuation and a first impression, but don't count on Shampoofags to have reading comprehension
>>283470037Pretend?
Shampoo thread?
>>283470259>Shampoofags don't actually care about Ranma, they just use him as an accessory for Shampoo.That's how Rumiko writes him. The male love interest is at best just a tool to get back at and dominate the other girls and prove she's special and that she's the best.
>>283470421all Ranma threads are Shampoo threads, they're joined by the hip
>>283470259>Your point? They match well together and have the same level of maturity. That's actually the opposite, immaturiy levels means they will never get along ever and infact even by the end of the manga after they both almost died they still haven't matured enough to confess.You just like it because you project in that, since you write like the worst miz of zoomie retard and a facebook millenial.>They weren't raised as autistic killer sex warriors in a backwater Chinese village.Funny you say that since Ranma was raised in rural China all of his life to the point he wears chinese clothes all the time, and was harshly trained by his father with things like throwing him a in a ditch with angry cats.But yeah no Ranma would totally not be into a chinese amazon that spent her whole life in china just like him, and has grandpa that knows everything and beyond martial arts, martial arts is only his dream after all.>Nobody "ships" them.lol wrong, two of the best fiction writers in the ranma community do ship them, and also the best western ranma artist around overlord jc does.Cope>Ranma, they just use him as an accessory for Shampoo. The irony being this is exactly the same type of relationship Shampoo wants with Ranma in the storyloooooool but that's literally akanefags lmaooo stop projecting holy shit.Akane fags never even bother drawing fanart of Akane alone because she is only relevenat as a far as her ship with Ranma goes lmaooo if she wasn't the main love interest NOBODY would even give the jack of a shit to Akane and you know it. Coping fag.You keep projecting your jealousy on Shampoo because you think she doesn't care for Ranma when she protected him from Mousse and Her grandma multiple times, while Akane goes on a date with Ryoga simply to piss off Ranma.>they aren't shipped, the story itselfAnd that aspect if the story is shit.
>>283457605That never happens.
WHY is her name Shampoo?
>>283470259>They aren't "shipped" they are the story itself. Shampoo exists for the sole reason of being a funny obstacle for Ranma and Akane. That people began to inflate her importance doesn't change the fact or how Shampoo is actually written by author.Mental illness.Do akanefags genuinely think the story of Ranma is just "romance"? You are literally watching Ranma for the shittiest part of the writing and you pretend that is ok?Every single romcom mogs Ranma in the romance department it's not even close, even Inuyasha which is not even a romcom but a shounen adventure mogs Ranma in romance.And btw that is confirmed by the fact that the first season of the original anime was cancelled.>Shampoofags have managed to get even more delusional than they were in the 90'ssays the akanefag that still fights for his self insert after she was fucking memory holed for 20 years
>>283470645That's just how their tribe names ppl
>>283470645She is the sponsor of Diane perfect beauty
>>283470560>That's actually the opposite, immaturiy levels means they will never get along ever and infact even by the end of the manga after they both almost died they still haven't matured enough to confess.No they both don't (verbally) confess to maintain the status quo as the series is an episodic comedy. It is clear that the words aren't necessary though and they love each other. It's funny that you see this as a sign of immaturity and lack of compatibility, but Shampoo helping Ukyo commit a terrorist attack in the last few pages of the manga (and blowing Ranma up) means she is perfect for him. >Funny you say that since Ranma was raised in rural China all of his life He wasn't, he was on a training journey and happened to be in China near the end of it. >martial arts is only his dream after all.Great! It just so happens there's a girl whose father owns a dojo. Guess who? >lol wrong, two of the best fiction writers in the ranma community do ship themDwarfed by the Rankane chads. I doubt they are the best "anything" cause Shampoofags will hype up the two artists they know lol. Go on AO3 or Pixiv and you'll see where the real popularity is>Akane fags never even bother drawing fanart of Akane alone Yeah they do, there's tons of that. Akane fans are talented and are constantly posting their art especially on Twitter, >You keep projecting your jealousy on Shampoo because you think she doesn't care for RanmaShe doesn't, she is just infatuated. How do we know this? Because Shampoo is incapable of helping Ranma (or anyone) when it won't benefit her. There is no proof she gives a shit about anyone but herself, unlike Akane who actually lets Ranma kiss Shampoo to break the Cat Curse on her. Shampoo is a narcissist and a sociopath and such people can't love anyone. She would leave Ranma the second she got bored with him. >And that aspect if the story is shit.Nope it made the series ultra successful with non-coomers and changed the anime industry.
>>283470645Isn't her name meant to be Xian Pu, but it's a pun because it sounds like Shampoo?
>>283470662>Do akanefags genuinely think the story of Ranma is just "romance"? You are literally watching Ranma for the shittiest part of the writing and you pretend that is ok?It's a romantic comedy. The romance and core of the series is Rankane. Everyone else is there for comedy. The bickering Akane and Ranma engage in is also comedic but they truly love each other. All this is perfectly obvious to 99% of people. It's only Shampoofags who are confused about this. You never see Ryogafags write essays on his love for Akane and how it is actually legitimate and he would perfect for her, even though there is way more substance for those delusions than anything that Shampoofags have to work with. It's only with the bimbo crowd that we have to have discussions about what the series obviously is and why Shampoo is clearly a walking joke. >Every single romcom mogs Ranma in the romance department it's not even close, even Inuyasha which is not even a romcom but a shounen adventure mogs Ranma in romance.Those are your opinions. Doesn't change what Ranma 1/2 is at all. >And btw that is confirmed by the fact that the first season of the original anime was cancelled.Another Shampoofag myth. It was actually cancelled because it was aired at a terrible timeslot late at night. >says the akanefag that still fights for his self insert after she was fucking memory holed for 20 yearsNope we fight against deluded people who have been crapping all over the series with their nonsense for 20 years
>>283470872No, it's シャンプー (Shanpū). The "Xian Pu" name is an early western fandom misconception that was often used in fanfiction.
>>283471010Damn I've thought that was true for almost 30 years.
Just wanted to say that I never watched or gave a shit about Ranma but I know this character is from this series and she makes me feel... things.
>>283470645Rumiko Takahashi said the following regarding it on September 7th, 2021:"I wanted to give her a name that wasn't a panda-type repetition, like Xiang Xiang. Somehow I came up with the idea of someone Chinese with the name "Shampoo", as I liked the "Pu" part. I asked someone who was familiar with Chinese to figure out what kanji would be used to write her name."Rumiko used 珊璞 for the name. 璞 is a relatively normal surname in Chinese and means uncut jade. 珊 means coral or is used in compounds. 珊璞 is obviously not a real Chinese name. It was chosen because it made a funny joke with the English word Shampoo. She did the same thing with Mousse and Cologne. >>283470872That's a myth but it is close. Xian would've been 仙 or 僊, which she obviously didn't go with.
>>283471031Ukyo Kuonji. Her boobs are not as prominent in the manga so they won't be as prominent in the remake. But she's fun and she fights in a fun way.
>>283470872>>283471083>"I wanted to give her a name that wasn't a panda-type repetition, like Xiang XiangShoulda called her Chun-Li
>>283471136I double checked for fun, Shampoo premiered three years before Chun-Li did.
>>283471160Damn, imagine if Takahashi named her Chun-Li and the distortion in the timeline caused Capcom to name their character Shampoo.
>>283471031She's best girl, all you needed to know.
>>283471031She's the girl for you if you like tomboys who want you to be a stay at home dad while she's the breadwinner running her okonomiyaki restaurant.
>August 5th 1987How old were you when Chapter 1 came out? I was four days old
>>2834715441 month in my mother's belly
>>283471544I was -4, but the sad answer you're probably going to get is that most people here were born 20+ years after that.
>>283470771I only buy shampoo from blue hair goddesses.https://youtu.be/ePlKAe8_JLA
>>283470853>terrorist attack>ranmaimagine being this retarded
>>283470952> romance and core of the seriesno its not, comedy is.Your rankane fanfic is shitty and would make the make the entire manga fail, which is what almost happened since they never completed the anime because nobody gave a shit about rankane.Because ryogafags know ranma is not a faggot, thats the difference.You will always cope about how Ranma can't be with Shampoo because cuckakane needs to be forced upon him when the author made a chapter about his first kiss being shampoo and having to touch shampoo's ass to unlock a pressure point.All canonical stories.You write like a faggot also
>>283458512Nice areolae.
>>283471544-4 years and 11 months old
>>283470853>he was on a training journey and happened to be in China near the end of it.His entire training journey was in China, which is the reason he wears chinese clothing while Genma still wears the gi.Ranma also practices just kung fu martial arts, he is a chinaboo.
>>283460296>kuno is an lgtv ally now
>>283467489Rumiko also largely forgot about her until the Principal returned.
>>283470853>Rankane chadlollmaoyou mean the art that is mostly just making ranma love and deep space character while making akane look tiny and smollmao they can't even make ship fanart without destroying the characters personalities it's actually sad.And overlord jc still mogs all of then with his fanarts.>Shampoo is incapable of helping Ranma (or anyone) when it won't benefit herI said her grandma if you can read, she went against her grandma when her grandma plan benefited her lol. Just because Ranma asked her>Shampoo is a narcissist and a sociopath and such people can't love,She would leave Ranma the second she got bored with him.I get shampoo haters have a hate boner for hot girls but where does shampoo shows she would leave Ranma if bored? She literally faced punishment just because she refused to kill him, she has to work in the cat restaurant just so she can stay in Japan to see him sometimes, yet you picture her as this fanfic brat when she works more than akane.
>>283472089>Rankane chads
>>283470560>Akane fags never even bother drawing fanart of Akane alone because she is only relevenat as a far as her ship with Ranma goesProbably because nobody would be able to tell if it was Akane or Shinobu(or Kagome for pre-haircut Akane) without either the specific school uniform and/or Ranma.
>>283469216The animation contrast between the old and new feels so bittersweet having seen both decades apart.
>>283470872>>283471010>>283471083珊璞 is pronounced Shān pú("shah-n poo" ). I don't know why people insist on using "Xian"(pronounced "s(h)ee-yen" ).
>>283471544>all these literal zygotes and protospermsI was 6. My first introduction to it was the ice skating volume my brother was lent by a friend. One of my first cooms was girl Ranma splashing herself angrily in the restroom. I'm pretty sure I also copied(no trace) girl Ranma in the dragon ice-skating outfit, but no idea where I put it now, after thirty years.
>>283472126but you see the its a conspiracy theory from shampoo fags that the anime was cancelled because of the trash romance. it was actually because it was late at night, even thou that time schedule was the same as urusei and urusei was the most popular rumiko anime in Japan.Akane fans are so many and organic that's why nobory cared she wasn't included the rumiko specials.They don't spawn when Ranma becomes revelant at all, and not as a reaction to Shampoo at all.
>>283471880Rumiko stated in COLORS that the three pillars of Ranma 1/2 were comedy, action and romance and she would cycle through them.
>>283472205Because people don't know how to pronounce Xian.
>>283470645Besides the in-universe reason where everyone from her area is named after a grooming product I guess >>283470675, it's definitely a probably-not-PC-but-by-now-everyone's-used-to-it "haha the word shampoo sounds like it could also be a Chinese name lmao" joke that has the same connotations in English too
>>283472205https://oluxiwen.github.io/pronouncing-chinese-names-guide/Clicking the different names will get the correct pronunciations too. Shan-pu. I feel like the "xian" mistake came from earlier Japanese learners who didn't get that with the small "ya/yu" after the first syllable, you drop the "y" header.>>283472383Her name isn't even close to "Xian" at all. In Japanese kana, you would write "shi(y)a-n-pu", but as I mention above, this is misconstrued, because it's meant to be pronounced "shanpu"(Japanese has no kana for the "sha" sound, only for "sa"/さ/サ and "shi"/し/シ, so when they need to denote "sha", they use "shi" and a small "ya" to convert the "i" to "a". しゃ. If you input it, it's "sha" rather than "shiya".
>>283472436>>283472205I feel like the Xianpu/Xian Pu spelling is particularly common among Spanish-speaking Ranma fans, like sometimes I see the character's name straight-up written as Xian Pu like it's her default name. I wonder if it was written down that way at any point in Spanish media, like in a manga translation or something.
>>283472469Hmm. Any hermanos want to chime in? My Spanish is rusty/not that deep, but I was under the impression that "X" is usually pronounced like an H where you're almost clearing your throat, like Xavier is "Hckavier". Maybe it's a Portuguese thing? Brasilieros?
>>283472379She also said she has to use gags even in romance scenes because she gets embarassed.Romance is clearly not her priority, comedy is, she never was into romance either before uy, she liked go nagai and shounen manga.
>>283467489does she ever show up again?
>>283473154Yeah, but not super frequently compared to someone like Shampoo, and the new anime seems to be skipping one of her arcs from around this part of the series (it's possible they do it next season, but they could just be cutting it entirely).
>>283472745>She also said she has to use gags even in romance scenes because she gets embarassed.Typical boomer mangaka
>>283473197you mean the cookies? if they skip that it will be probably because they don't wanna trigger zoomers about how Akane can't cook for shit and its actually feminist to not be able to cook or something.
>>283473579Yeah, there doesn't seem to be room for it in a season with 12/13 episodes based on the stuff we already know they're covering.
>>283467489Monster of the week. This series has lots of them.
I forgot when Kikyo comes in, is it after this episode?
>>283473742Kikyo? thats the girl from InuyashaDo you mean Ukyo?
>>283474411Sango Alpha.
Kikyo is MY waifu
>>283474865Shut up, Onigumo.
>>283474411yura
>>283472383It's 100% this. Burgers take fucking PRIDE in not bothering to know how to pronounce things. There's official Romance of the Three Kingdom games where the dub actors pronounce Cao Cao's name "Cow cow" for fuck's sake.
>>283473579Akane not being able to cook gets introduced in the Bakusai Tenketsu arc, which they skipped, but are presumable going to adapt later due to its importance.
Do we know any upcoming episodes other than next week's Happosai ep?
>>283475608I'm a what?
>>283476232the cookies are also part of the whole cooking drama
>>283477184They are, but the remake skipping the cookie arc because of that wouldn't make sense since they literally can't skip the Bakusai Tenketsu arc, and it's such a major part of that.
>>283457843They all have the same face dude
>>283476215>There's official Romance of the Three Kingdom games where the dub actors pronounce Cao Cao's name "Cow cow" for fuck's sake..... isn't that how it's supposed to be pronounced?
>>283471544-6
>>283477333that's why you judge anime characters from design and visual cues and not from faces since they are not humans zoom zoom
>>283472267Imagine being 40+ and still watching chinese cartoons
>>283477380>In Mandarin Chinese Pinyin, the letter 'c' is pronounced as a "ts" sound with forceful aspiration (a puff of air), similar to the "ts" in "cats" or the beginning of "tsunami".His name was written as "T'sao T'sao" in Wade-Giles romanization, which matches English a lot better than Pinyin.
>>283477562Learned something knew. Thanks.
>>283472267I did something similar with Sailor Mars.
>>283477615It's a "soft" CH sound like in church. Like "ch" instead of "cH", if that makes sense.>>283477562The biggest problems with WG is that nobody wants to be fucking about with apostrophes(even more so as the world sped up from the 1950s on), so long words/phrases got mangled when "necessary" apostrophes got omitted; and for some godforsaken reason, they happened to pick a dialect that favoured a "dz" sound for what is an "r" sound for most speakers; cf. 日, which is pronounced "Rrrr" by almost every modern Chinese speaker(romanised in HYPY as "Ri", but "dzi" in WG).
>>283477842Well, I'm coming from it from Russian where we have both a Ц and a Ч so now I don't know which one it is.
>>283478003The current pronunciation audio on his Wikipedia page is accurate. Note the slight tonal difference of the first Cao vs the second Cao.
Hey, nerds. It's pronounced Sau Sau.
>>283456896The way Ranma screamed for his flying ramen and crashed into Kuno's house was so funny, really well done. Also mad Akane is fucking cute. I felt sorry for her but I liked how Shampoo acted in this one. It was a very good episode and I don't care they're leaving arcs out or moving them to the next season or whatever. Still I hope Ryoga is gonna show up next week. I miss my dude.
>>283477333They... don't, actually. And regardless I was talking more about personality.
>>283479405>I don't care they're leaving arcs out or moving them to the next season or whatever.>Still I hope Ryoga is gonna show up next week. I miss my dude.Ryoga would've literally appeared this week if they hadn't skipped ahead.
>>283479405Anon... they skipped 8 chapters, the first 5 of which was a Ryoga arc.
>>283477648No, you did not, shitposting lying cuck. And nobody cares about your worthless incel dribble either way, a low test fag like you could be an eunuch for all I care.Sailor Mars is MY WIFE. Rei Hino is MY WOMAN. And she would never even look in the direction of a disgusting maggot like (You). Kill yourself.
>>283471544One and a half years old.Ranma was my first anime, got into it at age 9.
>>283479959Okay Jet Wolf.
>>283480276Me >>>>>>>>> dogshit >>>>>> that loser faggot
>>283480673What do you dislike about her?
For me it's Ranma x Ukyo
>>283481350For me it's me x Ukyo
>>283481350I think she is boring and annoying. A complete unnecessary character. Why do a lot of people like her? Genuinely asking.
Is it true that Ranma treats Ukyo with even more contempt and hostility than he does Cologne, Happosai, Mousse, etc? If so, why?
>>283481498No, he's pretty friendly with her and largely treats her as a friend, he's just not romantically interested in her. But she's probably the girl he treats the nicest.
>>283481350Based
>>283456896>Removes nipples from both seasons, even excludes them from extended nude bath scenes in the Ryoga and Cologne arcs >Includes them for 2 frames this episode What is MAPPA's thought process here? do they realize that people legally streaming can go frame by frame? why are the BDs still censored? While those nipples are still less detailed than the ones in the last 2 seasons of the 1989, they still look way better than blank Barbie Doll boobs, so why not include them at least for the BDs? what is MAPPA's thought process here?
>>283481634Now Barbie Ranma and Barbie Shampoo look ever dumber
>>283481634>>283481684
>>283481634Its probably some random intern who did the coloring and added them for fun and no one doing the approval noticed
>>283481634>>283481735Barbie Shampoo is the dumbest one yet since she actually has hair they could easily use to censor her nipples instead of giving her blank Barbie Doll boobs
>>283481774You do realize that Rumiko Takahashi barely draws nipples. At best she draws an outline of the areola or a small bump. She often drews shampoo covering her nipples as well.
>>283482910They're still visibly nipples.
>>283484359No they're not. You must be visually impaired if you even consider that as visible nipples.
>>283467481Missing the new one
>>283481469You have shit taste anon.
>>283486567This.
>>28347672918: Happosai (chapters 63-66)19: Happosai (chapters 67-69)20: Dojo Destroyer21: Romeo and Juliet22: Ukyo (chapters 85-87)23: Ukyo (chapters 88-91)24: Mousse ReturnsBreaking Point and Love Pills were skipped, but will likely show up in season 3. Tea Ceremony, Japanese Nannichuan, and Cookie Battle are likely cut altogether.
>>283487443I'll add that how they will handle Mousse Returns will depend on the # of episodes. If it's only 12 we're getting, then they'll likely trim it down to fit into 1 episode. If it's 13 we're getting, then they'll have to expand on the story to fit 2 episodes, since it's only 5 chapters long.
>>283487443>18: Happosai (chapters 63-66)No fucking way they're including chapter 65.
>>283487443>Japanese NannichuanIs that the story with Ranma and Ryoga trying to break into the girls lockerroom? Oh helllllllll no THEY ARE LIKELY CUTTING IT? FUCK NO WHY WOULD THEY LEAVE THAT OUT? Now I'm mad.
>>283481469but enough about Shampoo
>>283487906That'll likely be the case. So 63, 64, and 66 for part one (3 chapters) and 67-69 (3 chapters) for part 2.>>283488385Yup. More than likely it was cut do to being overdone to begin with (stretched out into a multi part saga in the old anime and was the plot of the live action movie) plud being fairly unimportant story-wise.
>>283487443>23: Ukyo (chapters 88-91)Do we have any footage from this arc? It's fairly separate from the initial Ukyo arc, so it can easily be saved for season 3, making room for two episodes of Duck Mousse
>>283481469>>283488502Akane*
Fuck Akane
>>283489164Don't mind if I do!
>>283488991Yeah, it's in the 2nd trailer for S2.
>>283481350Ukyo is for me. She doesn't need Ranma. And Ranma doesn't need her.
>>283481350the true patrician choice
>>283481350Ukyo doesn't respect Ranma at all and like Shampoo just wants some arm candy. >>283481498Because she is a cringelord re-inserting herself into the life of someone who has moved on. Ranma can't just straight up tell her that to her face because he is non-confrontational with women.
>>283488385>>283487906Nothing of value is lost there
>>283459309Gay for Ranma, straight for Ryoga. It's basic stuff.
>>283481634What's interesting is this actually works as a nice design if you want to be modest, a simple pink boob blotch would work fine
Why do people call Shampoo a bimbo?
>>283482910These >>283481774 >>283481735>>283481684Had nipples in the manga (all nude scenes did in fact, I should know as I actually OWN the physical version of the manga), dummy, and like I said a single pink dot looks way better than a Barbie Doll one
>>283481634>>283492129Female Ranma sexo
>>283487443I can see this outcome, I hope they don't cut the cookies, I hope it's in Season 3; it's so much fun.
>>283492114Akanefags sort of going the opposite direction from Shampoofags in regard to shitting on women they dislike. Like the common thing in Ranma/among Akane haters "Akane's not feminine, acts like a man, etc.", so in response Akanefags try to present Shampoo as just a stupid bimbo slut.In actuality both Akane and Shampoo are meant to be the same level of stupid going by those official stat charts, as are most of the martial arts teens in Ranma (but not Ranma himself, or interestingly, Ukyo)
>>283492129>>283492159
>>283492474The "official stat" list Happosai at max int.
>>283492687Don't see an issue there
>>283492114jealousy
>>283481350i don't think any pairing with ranma is bad, unironically he has more interesting dynamics with anybody, even cologne, than akane.It's just unfortunate they never talked about Ukyo and Ranma's past childhood memories without turning it into a gag about Ukyo wanting to find a way to guilt trip Ranma to marry her.
>>283492129Do you have the one where Nabiki is looking over the bathhouse wall(should be the aforementioned chapter 65)? It's the only time she ever exposed her breasts, and I think the Japanese scan just barely shows a つ which could just as well be a water drop.
>>283492129>>283494849This is the only other (faint) sighting of the fabled Nabipples.
>>283456896This series is so old that I forget how astronomically superior Shampoo is to Akane, both in looks and as a character from time to time. >b-but she's a psycho homewreckerYes, so? This is a wacky, raunchy action comedy, and Shampoo is a cuter, funnier and stronger character.
>>283495277>cuter, funnierLolipoo when?
>>283464541This is extremely disingenuous. Shampoo only does that with Ranma, to whom she's literally engaged to by her costums.
>>283495378>cuterEvery damn panel she's in.>funnierAlso always, especially when compared to Shitkane. If her knocking on Cuntkane's empty head while saying she was mad about getting dumped didn't get a chuckle outta you, then you're simply a gormless nerd.
>>283477183Meshi.
>>283474865Inuyasha...
If Ranko's hair isn't canonically red, how do we know Shampoo's hair is canonically purple?
>>283492810Isn't he supposed to be dumb?
>>283497133I don't know if it's spelled out anywhere; I can just buy him actually being smart/clever but also a slave to his vices, which allows him to be tricked or stopped at times by Ranma or others
>>283497133Nta, I never had that impression, Happosai is clever. Maybe not book smart, and he has idiot moments, but he's a schemer.
>>283493113Ranma doesn’t have “dynamics” with any girl but Akane. He doesn’t even like them. They are annoying stalkers. He only notices them when they stop sucking his dick suddenly (like Shampoo does in the Jewel arc) and that’s only because he is a narcissist. He never ever goes to anyone other than Akane when he has a real problem. >>283495277>as a character from time to time.Akane displays more emotional depth in one-off chapters than Shampoo does in the entire series. Akane is a real woman and Shampoo is a juvenile sex fantasy. Shampoo’s only “strength” is making weak men’s dicks hard. She sucks. Even her creator hates her.
>>283497474Lol okay Solomon's Nightmare/Cantankerous Akane.
>>283495277Shampoo is Ranma's soul mate after all.
>>283488709Why wouldn't they adapt chapter 65? Because of the nudity in the bathhouse? That's not going to stop MAPPA.
>>283497133The guy may have stolen almost all his martial arts knowledge, but he's certainly smart enough to implement most of it, especially Hinako's ki-vampire abilities and the counter thereof.
>>283498145Probably moreso Happosai trying to sneak over and getting Ranma involved.>>283497474Calm down Takahashi baba, I thought you said you were already done with the series, why so uptight about defending your self-insert?
>>283498088Notice how in that picture all the scenes are either anime-original or fanfiction. Zero canon content, lmao. Being a Shampoofag is so sad.
>>283497133He's incredibly stupid.
>>283498684nobody cares what rumiko intended, shampoo won the hearts of the viewers and is ranma's soulmate
>>283499569*Ukyo
>>283481774 >>283495277>>283498088Ranma&Shampoo truly are the heart of the story
>>283499814Lumiko Takahashi
>>283499903Lum-iko
>>283499569>nobody cares what rumiko intendedWe know you don't care. We also know you people don't care about reality either. >shampoo won the hearts of the viewersWhat a joke. She only every attracted coomers and filthy otaku. Normal well-adjusted viewers and especially female viewers never liked her. The same is true for the new fans of the series. Go on TikTok for example and see how many hearts and minds Shitpoo is winning over there. They are sick of her and are complaining about her being spammed in multiple episodes.
>>283500354that's easy. akanecucks are always a whining salty bunch, while we shampoobros are just enjoying every moment she appears
>coping for birbwaifu to get animated
>>283471544-15
>>283497474Akane's "emotional depth" oscillates between being an openly abusive cunt, and a passive aggressivene one. Even among "real" (to the extent that vacuous pretty bitches like Akane exist), her behavior would earn her a few years of psychiatric therapy. If that's your standard for realistic then I'll stick to my fantasy Chinese waifu, thank you very much.
>>283498684your canon content ends after no baby, no future time skip, and no fucking confession.Dipshit
>>283502379It is also a known fact that Akane dies shortly after the close of the series from her inherited disease anyway, so even if the relationship were perfect, it would sadly never work
>>283500354>>283498684Is this you btw? in your 30s and ok with it? oh wait it's the middle aged lonely lardasses on facebook that ship rankane? i can't tell
>absolutely shit episode 1 >post despairingly about hopium that for the first time in history animation actually improves after episode 1>watch last few episodes>animation actually improves 300% >the awful timing of episode 1 that made even the funniest jokes of that arc clang on a concrete floor also gets fixed to, well, passableI got a Christmas miracle this year, anons!
>>283500354>one who thinks "Normal well-adjusted" is good>>283502446>one thinks "middle aged lonely lardasses" is badAnons, do we really have two normalfags who come here just to catfight over an anime love triangle because the don't want to embarrass themselves on Tiktok?
>>283502540>middle aged lardasses is badyes it is.
The Shampoo poster is kind of a cunt and should stop shitting up the thread
>>283491778>Nothing of value is lost thereTake your ***** buzzphrase and apply it to your own permanent return to *****. Every single chapter is the best chapter.
>>283502660Do you know what 4chan is, normal visitor?
>>283489598The fuck, did they massacre my waifu's face? Please tell me that's an off shot.
>>283488385>cut the naked hug in the martial gymnastic meet>now cutting the leglock and "I love you" Are they trying to starve out Ranma/Ryoga shipping?
>>283502758Not to mention cutting Breaking Point, seriously why?
>>283502692aww did that hurt?
>>283502835Not really (I'm thin and not middle-aged), you're just bratty and annoying
>>283502540imagine mentioning tiktok for anime taste thou, the faggot should try doing a flip on a bridge.
>>283502859>you're just bratty and annoyingguess who the fuck cares also i am not even the other shampoofag you talked about, wannabe janitor
>>283502943its the akanefag got butthurt after that jenny post, probably he simps for her lol
>>283487443>Breaking Point and Love Pills were skipped, but will likely show up in season 3.How do we know this?>>283496728They seem to be following the old anime for hair colors with the one exception of Ranko.
>>283503343Breaking Point at least was in some remake promo art. Dunno about the other one anon is mentioning
>>283503343Ranko's hair was supposed to be black, she was always supposed to have the same hair color as Ranma.>>283502943the irony that he didn't accuse of shitting up the thread to the retard mentioning tiktok and ((female)) fandoms
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP2RcWPcTScRanma is having a collab with a mobile game, houchi shoujo (3 characters added, female Ranma, Akane and Shampoo). This one has a bonding system and the characters can become the player's fiancee. It will be interesting to see if that's available for the Ranma characters... Usually this kind of thing is cut for guests, but sometimes it's allowed, depending on the licensor.
>>283494878What about Kasumi? Did she ever show hers?
>>283503609i saw the other day, shampoo got more official arts than ranma and akane btw.
>>283500354>Go on TikTokHow about no and kill yourself. This better just be bait.
>>283503736Cute.
>>283503721Nope, too pure. I think Ukyo and Kodachi are also chaste and unexposed, but I could be wrong.
>>283503343Breaking Point got some promo art while Love Pills was teased in the initial reveal trailer for the new anime. Both are also important story arcs to the overall plot progression, unlike the other skipped stories.
>>283491778It is, Rankanefag. Ranma teasing the fuck out of Ryoga and messing with him was never not funny. I hate CRAPPA.>>283502758Seems like there is a bunch of losers who hate Ryoga/RyoRan working on that remake it seems. Fucking weirdos.
Reminder, shampoo biggest fans are women, not men.They just have a higher confidence than the fans of another girl character
>>283503875No, Ukyo had a scene in a hot spring with Akane and Shampoo.
By the way, there seems to be some people who think Rankane fans hate Shampoo and don't find her scenes entertaining. I want to clarify that I find Shampoo hilarious. Her busting through walls and her bike make me laugh every time. And yes, she is cute. She's a gremlin too. I find her plotting and scheming very endearing and entertaining. I just don't think she is the one for Ranma. Nor do I think that her having these funny traits is due to Rumiko despising her and by proxy other attractive women.
>>283505113Shampoo is the only one for Ranma actually.
