New episode airs in an hour! Finally a best boy episode!
>>284114717I love him
Fuck Shampoo
>>284114937We know Ranma
>>284114717Odds on CRAPPA cutting this?
>>284115316I'd be very surprised if they include the whole scene. They might tone it down a bit at best.
>>284114717The Rapist episode.
>>284115713Good thing they'll cut that scene. My boy is pure.
C-cute
>>284115316Post the lewder manga version>skirt hiked up to thigh>shoulder strap down>hand on bosom>flushed, sweaty scared face
>>284116031They look about the same aside from the sweat
>>284115477Please convince me why, so my hopium crash won't hit so hard when the censored episode comes out. It's still going "b-but it's plot important!"
>>284116101The 1989 anime had a scene where Ryoga got a nosebleed from seeing naked female Ranma
>>284116296wtf is with that pig snout
Hey, what was the name of the best quality torrent for Ranma scans? I think those were the scans used for the storytimes, pretty sure the name started with "s".
>>284116296THEY KEPT THE RAPE! HUZZAH!!
>>284116354Based Ryoga knows Ranma is hot
>>284117719Did you watch the episode or are you just going off that screencap which seems toned down?
>>284115316They cut Ryoga pushing down Ranma but kept the disheveled clothes, so you could say they offscreened it. Partial win.
>>284117787Yes.They did keep the rape. Only difference was Ranma not having a hand on her chest.
>>284117883*partly kept the disheveled clothes
>>284117892I am however deducting points for cutting out one of the funniest Ranma panels in all the manga.Unforgivable.
>>284116031>Viz: Who do you think I am?!>Netflix (subtitle): Do you know who I really am?>Netflix (dubtitle): You have to know who I am, right?Obviously, Netflix translated this to mean "You know I'm Ranma, right?" But the Viz translation is ambiguous and people have read it as "What kind of loose woman do you think I am, do you think I'm a slut?!" I could be remembering wrong, but I think an anon said that's how they read the original Japanese, too.Any moonspeakers who could clear this up?
>>284117942>cutting out one of the funniest Ranma panels in all the manga.Post it
>could even do a proper em dash>-- instead of —this is low effort.
>>284118063Unforgivable.
>>284117942Instead they added Ukyo smaking Ryoga in the ass with the spatula
>>284114717Okay, I'm back. One of the best episodes of the season.
Funniest moment of the Season
>>284118687>>284119226Now yet another man has a fatter ass than Akane... Ranma was bad enough... Akanebros we can't keep losing...
Did Ranma just call Akane a whore?
Akane is for ojisans
Kinda off topic but, Ryoga is just a charming character, it makes me wonder how Rumiko fumbled so badly with the copycat Kouga.
>>284119533He's not wrong
>>284119786Funny coming from a guy who turns out to be the biggest whore of the series.
>>284116354Based take, but it was filler episode.
>>284118036they're all correct translations, but Viz has the better wording imo, Ranma gets マジになるな/don't get serious,おれを誰だと/who do you think I am?, he uses "ore" here, when he's been using watashi all this time, so he is basically announcing he's Ranma, but Ryouga doesn't get it.
>>284120063Ranma is a whore...?
good episode
>>284120220Yes
that happosai screamer tho
>>284114717That episode was hilarious. You can tell this anime has toptier seiyuus, each one better than the other.
>>284119610Takahashi is much better at comedy than drama desu, Koga is taken too seriously
So next episode is the Romeo and Juliet school play yes? I guess the finale for this season is Mousse's return.
>>284120856Yeah, all the drawings are being sold as stickers, and show the chapters order. Next is Romeo and Juliet, then Mouse, then dunno, maybe Mouse takes 2 chapters.
>>284114937Mousse…>>284115203Ranma wouldn’t say that.
>>284120959mousse having so much focus this season erks me.
>>284120959Mousse Returns is 5 chapters which is too long for one episode but too short for two so I'm guessing it will be have a lot of OC to pad out the run time and finish the season
>>284117210nvm found it, tsuna69
Why the fuck is かわいくない translated as "not so cute"? it's literally the negative of cute, "uncute", why do they do that, seriously.
>>284120220Whoring for men doesn't count in Ranma's mind
>>284119610Koga’s cool, he just happened to get the short end of the stick in the narrative and was stuck being led on by Kekgome.
>>284120220He agrees to go on a dates with Shampoo and Kuno for a potential cure without any hesitation or shame. He's also whore-brained in that he wants endless unearned attention and will start getting antsy if it's taken away for any reason
>>284121979He also whores himself out to Happosai and models for him, literally pleases old men for favors.
>>284119786>>284121979Yeah, Akane going on one date and Ranma going crazy and calling her a floozy is so absurd given how blaze he is about his dates.
Great episode. No issues with it. >>284118237Oh, okay, one issue with it.
>cute ukyo screenwipe>mental note to clip all of these, including s1>ryoga has some insane heat tolerance from all those times of being boiled alive>he's also got some damn thick buns from all that hiking>dramatic announcements must always be done with the mic>ukyo not recognising the irony of saying "a new fiancee appearing out of nowhere" >hilarious ham and octopus wieners when ryoga remembers his pig side>why is the "ouch" in female voice when she purposely changed him back right before launching him?>怒髪天 angry hair heaven cafeIs that a reference to the mini-arc where Genma only had hair when he was angry, and it dropped off when he smiled?>creepy ghost of vengeance ranma-chan>they kept the groping almostraep but only in flashback>unwittingly foreshadowing akari's eventual introduction>happy ukyo to end
>>284118237>>284122289Can’t have blatant transphobia in a remake made for the “modern audiences.” This line might offend some poor troon hon who can’t pass and does in fact just look like a freak man in a dress to the general public, and we can’t have THAT! /sWhy are woke troons such sensitive fragile snowflakes that can’t even handle a simple joke and want to censor everything that even slightly hurts their feelings? Goddamn…Also when did the trannies manage to fully colonize Ranma as “their” franchise so that it must now be presented in the most tranny and LGBT positive light imaginable?
>>284121433How many chapters did the Happosai intro covered? Cause that episode felt rushed as hell, maybe they will have all of Mousse's return in one ep
>>284122398Yeah, yeah. I get that's why. Also, the Ryoga and Ukyo fight got trimmed a bit. And didn't quite look as good.
>>284122398chill
>>284122527that was chill
Actually looking through the chapter's a lot of little gags got trimmed for space and I am sad about that.
>>284122398The irony is, isn't that panel making fun of effeminiphobia/transphobia? The joke is that Ranma thinks being a guy in women's clothing is embarrassing and perverted, but because he thinks that, he takes off his clothes and becomes a public exhibitionist which the women *actually* perceive as an embarrassing perversion. It's basically humiliating Ranma for being "transphobic".
They cut this scene too, shame, it's funny. Ranma didn't want to spy on the 2nd date, but Kasumi and Souun basically forced him to do it.
>>284122662Bah humbug. Why the fuck do they keep cutting RyoRan teases? This is a good one because it shows the near-rape actually somewhat penetrated Ranma's mental blocks, what with him picturing P-chan (Ryoga) as a sexual predator but too intimidated/submissive to do anything about it.
>>284122662You think they cut it for time or because of Ranma thinking that if Ryoga rapes Akane it's her fault? Or both?
>>284122622Nobody ever said censorhappy wokefags were particularly smart, they tend to take everything at face value and can’t into media literacy.
>>284122551>Ukyo episode gets the Happosai treatmentReally?! What did Ukyo do to offend Reiwa/zoomers?
>>284122801True. Also they're actually massive transphobes who hate genuine non-woke trannies and nonbinaries, so.
>>284122809Lots of little jokes and comments promoting traditional gender role expectations for women (i.e. making fun of Akane or putting her down for being “too manly” ) + transphobia joke here >>284118237
>>284122809I mean, the stuff that got cut was not really the Ukyo stuff. Mainly some Ryoga gags and this:>>284122662Though honestly, Ranma would've caved anyway. I really think it is just about making it fit in one episode. There are a chapter break between Ryoga/Ukyo's fight and the delivery of the love letter, so it all happened the next morning with everyone getting dressed and brushing teeth. That had to change a bit. Honestly, looking through the chapter very closely, I can nitpick a lot more. Some of the drawings also were a bit sloppy, we def had better animated episodes but it is all good stuff, so I still really enjoyed watching the episodes. The voicework was also good, Ranma's bad acting came across.
>>2841224156 chapters, and that's not counting the bathhouse chapter that was cut outright. It was a complete mess trying to cram that much into one episode when it needed two.
>>284122858>best girl who literally passed as male for ten years, bragged about her "female" fiancee, and is completely cool with her harem of crossdressers and transgenders gets canceled by zoomers because her fiance makes fun of his other fiancee for being manly >(iirc Ukyo doesn't call Akane manly, only Ranma does that)Well, thanks for another reason to hate them with the rage of a thousand suns!
Based on everything they’re censoring I guess it’s as good as certain that we’re NOT getting the Tsubasa arc left intact huh?
>>284123002The censors have shown some leniency when it comes to plot-relevant things where removing them entirely would leave gaps or cause major changes. Unfortunately, while I think "Ranma's ego gets pulverized to the point of mindbreaking him into a bunny suit" is important character development, somehow I suspect normalfag or wokefag censors wouldn't see it that way.
>>284122899>Honestly, looking through the chapter very closely, I can nitpick a lot more.Do it, please. I like getting the disappointment out of the way first so I can enjoy what's left.
So did Ranma turn into a girl and blew Ryoga under the sheets just for fun?
>>284116354I liked how the 1989 anime added anime original nudity every time they could, pretty based of them
>>284123002Hypothetically, if they included the Tsubasa arc, when would that be? End of next season?
>>284118684>trash belongs in trash cansOn the one hand, it sets up >>284118237 without the payoff. On the other hand, it's implying Ryoga is trash for the nearlyraep. Undecided.
>>284123123We may as well wait for the storytime guy to show up. They go through the whole three chapter and it is pretty obvious. Like, Ryoga suggests hypothetically that he would beat Ranma up even if his new fiancee was a dogu or haniwa figure or a cow (with an image of them dressed as school girls). They cut a minor scene of Genma acting like a panda to get out of responsibility right before Soun hit Ranma through the roof. The visual style of these chapters are super chibi-looking with big heads and small bodies while the anime mostly stuck to the model sheets based on later chapters. Stuff like that.
>>284123129Ranma thought Akane was going on a date with Ryoga, and he lost his mind.
>>284122415They adapted 6 of Happosai's manga chapters and skipped the ones that had the most nudity, it was a fucking mess, but if you want to see these chapters animated you can see all of them in the 1989 anime where each chapter was adapted as it's own episode
>>284123002Question for /ranma/fags: Which of the realistically happening options would be your preference?>Remove the Tsubasa arc altogether >Remake it with hacksaw levels of censorship rewrites
>>284123230Thanks and yikes, the background details are the charm.
POV: You're Ryouga and you just got back from a long training trip and you see this girl approaching you, what do you do?
>>284120959That third sticker is going to be the first one to run out, isn't it? The eighth one will be the second to run out.
>>284122745>Why do they keep cutting RyoRan teases?I suspect MAPPA are big Rankane shippers, or maybe it was by direct request from Rumiko to remove anything even slightly threatening to her OTP that shows Ranma having active attraction to others.
>>284123351Ranma thinks Shampoo is hot, he is attracted to her and they didn't cut that off though.
>>284123328Probably beating him up.
>>284123351>Ranma having active attraction to othersWhich would be...?
>>284123405If we go back to wokeness-inspired censorship, they think normalfags being attracted to losers (or losers being attracted to normalfags) is dangerous. Maybe that's the issue with RanmaxRyoga which doesn't apply to RanmaxShampoo. I don't know if that idea has caught on in Japan, though.
You could probably do Mousse's return in a chapter, if you cut their fight for Shampoo.Akane wins a doll, Mousse kidnaps it thinking it's Akane, Ranma and Akane go the circus to rescue it, where they met Shampoo, see a duck that uses weapons, and realize it's Mousse is one manga chapter .2nd manga chapter is:Mousse tells them he fell into a spring, chases them around some carnival that's around the circus, trying to splash Ranma with duck water from Jusenkyo, and kidnaps Akane. Also Shampoo gets mad at Ranma when he says she doesn't care about her and transforms into a cat to scare him.3rd manga chapterMousse threatens to splash Akane with the Jusenkyo water, and spends the chapter using a hose trying to splash Ranma, when he comes to rescue her, while Shampoo also tries to use the water on Akane. At the end Ranma accidentally splashes Akane with the water. chapter 4 Ranma takes the duck to the Tendo house, where they start a wedding, meanwhile Akane is fine in the circus, and Mousse tries to set up another trap for Ranma, but Shampoo got tired of his shit and calls him a little bitch and leaves, Akane takes pity on him and tells them they should have a final fight for Shampoo, Akane comes back during the wedding and they realize she's not the duck. They prepare for the fight and Akane tells Ranma he should throw.Fight starts and Shampoo gives Mousse weapons that explode to make him lose.chapter 5 fight ends.I think they did fit 4 manga chapters before, and if they cut some stuff they could do it here too, like the fight, and end it at the wedding joke. But I think Shampoo taking pity on Mousse and hugging the duck at the end of the fight is too iconic.
>>284122394Found it.
>>284123278They know Happosai is too horny for the new anime to handle, so they wanted to get all his stories out of the way fast, no idea how they will handle the last couple of arcs since those had lots of nudity, but I assume they're just going to spam Barbie Doll nudity
Whatever happened to the Kurama lookalike
>>284123291Guess just skip it. Though honestly, surely there is some way to keep it PC with some minor dialog changes?
>>284123470Shampoo, Kuno (maybe), Ryoga (maybe), those random naked girls in the hot springs that one time
>>284123240I meant at the start of the episode in the nurse office, girl Ranma crawled into Ryoga's bed for no reason
>>284123640It didn't quite look under the covers in the manga. He was just... Out of sight. Somehow.
>>284123291Skip it like they skipped the "Happosai in the bath house" chapter, if the Demake is going to heavily censor it then just don't bother with it at all
>nippleschizo shits up another threadJust go watch some hentai you retard
>>284123640Because Akane and Ryoga were spending a lot of time together (2 seconds)
So they censored/cut a whole bunch of minor scenes, but they had time to add an anime-original dialogue with Ranma arguing to Ukyo that he's not her fiance? What's the logic there?
>>284123727Why are you talking about yourself in third person? Pikachu doesn't deserve your memeing.
>>284123754A few lines of dialog during a pan aren't exactly much.
>>284123682Ranma sexo>>284123754What >>284123351 said. Maybe Rumiko enforced it, or there's a Rankane fag in high position.
>>284123727Ranma is an ecchi (or at least WAS), which is as close to hentai as you’re gonna get so it makes sense to complain about censoring out one of the main attractions to the series.Would you also think it’s stupid if Mechafags complained about the Robots being taken out of a Mecha series?
>>284123950The original manga isn't as titillating as people say. But I'll admit, complaining about censorship for Ranma 1/2 makes more sense than complaining about it for Urusei Yatsura..
>>284123950Ranma is not even close to a hentai, what are you talking about?
>>284114717I keep scrolling by this thinking it's kei from dirty pair with a wig
>>284123994I said it’s an ECCHI not a hentai, ecchi is the anime genre the closest to hentai while still not being an outright hentai, learn your genres fucking newfag!
>>284119317>>284119226>tone down female fanservice and Happosai antics>change this scene so Ukyo is hitting Ryoga's ass instead of his head>and gave Ryoga a huge bouncing ass front and centerWhy is MAPPA so gay
>>284124348If they were gay they wouldn't be cutting Ranma/Ryoga scenes
>>284124455Ranma/Ryouga is heterosexual.
>>284124455MAPPA needs more gay, then. Even those MARO 17 commercials they made are gayer than this remake is.
That one serious/intense stare from Ryoga really made Ranma gaypanic huh
>>284124766Some guys balk at the intensity of gay chicken.
>>284122662Even putting aside the changes to make characters less sexist/transphobic, or whatever (which feels especially weird given it's not effectively a period piece set in 80s Japan), I do really wish the show had gotten more space to adapt a lot of these little gags. I know that it's nigh impossible to give the show the number of episodes it'd need to be a proper, full adaption, but it still saddens me. Otherwise, still enjoyed the episode quite a lot. Whenever Ranma is messing with Ryoga you know you're in for a good time, and Ukyo is still best fiance.
The main cast is so old that they can't make loud screeching noises that's prevalent in comedy anime
>>284125506What are you talking about? They are doing very good despite their ages??
>>284125245>Whenever Ranma is messing with Ryoga you know you're in for a good time
>Came into town last episode>Already has her own place Where did she get the money? Does she sell drugs?
>>284126556So Ukyo lives there alone? Did her father die or what?
>>284126768did the demake include shampoo's dad at all?
>>284126768I don't think her father's dead (or more like it's not mentioned, so I assume if he actually died it might've come up) but is possibly just a deadbeat who eventually abandoned Ukyo or Ukyo chose to do this alone and abandoned him.
>>284126908He did appear in the flashblack, just like in the manga, but he barely appears at all even in the manga, he shows up for a moment in the Breaking Point arc, and I don't remember anymore. Rumiko doesn't even bother with characters that aren't relevant at all, so the dads are probably around but never show up.
what was the old anime thinking!?
>>284127366Color contrasts
>>284127366The old anime had something against Akane; I have no proof but I also have no doubts
>>284127426>the old anime had something against Akane>shilled bitchy tsundere Takahashi self-insertWho wouldn’t?
>>284127987>Takahashi self-insertI wonder where this bullshit take originated from.
>>284127366>LeftSEX>Middle>SEX>RIghtSEXThat settles it Akane is SEX SEX SEX
How would a completely new filler episode or two be viewed within this series, assuming it was good?Welcome or a travesty?
>>284128308People would get mad, I would get mad, unless it was written by Takahashi, there's so much shit to adapt, why make up a filler episode?
>>284128308I would get mad. I'm not opposed to filler in principle, but we have enough material.
>>284128308Depends on whether or not it features Ranma struggling over her repressed lust for Kuno. If it does, then it's essential to keep it; if not, they should probably focus on adapting the manga stories first
>>284128834If Ranma is repressing lust, it's not for Kuno's toxic ass
>>284129374
I'm surprised at how much I'm liking Akane in this version. I watched the original series a decade or so ago and I remember her being incredibly obnoxious. Now I wonder how much of that was due to stuff created specifically for that series (i.e., filler and new scenes). Either way, this season hasn’t ended yet, and I'm already hoping they announce a season 3.
>>284129387You should label it as the storytime, too easy to overlook otherwise. But thanks.
What was everyone's favourite filler episode?
>>284128274Calm down Ryoga
God I hate Akane so much. I have hated her since the 90s when I was in middle school and was a karate tomboy myself.Ryoga deserves much better.
>>284123754>they had time to add an anime-original dialogue with Ranma arguing to Ukyo that he's not her fianceAt the end they also added in Ranma getting annoyed at Ukyo. Which not only isn't in the corresponding manga scene, but I don't think it happens anywhere in the manga. And now I'm irritated. Is the director an Ukyo hatefag or something?>inb4 the resident Ukyohatefag's "Ranma doesn't like Ukyo romantically suck it" bloo blooNo shit and take your irrelevance with you. Ranma doesn't like Ryoga romantically either, but does that mean the anime should add in ooc filler scenes of Ranma getting pissed at Ryoga? Actually, they did the opposite of that and rewrote the ice skating arc so that Ranma and Ryoga get along for a while longer.
God, she's perfect. Anyway, good episode. It's amazing how much more enjoyable the series is with pacing that matches the source material. The only thing I truly dislike is the soundtrack. There are a couple of tracks that come close to the originals, but as a whole it's pretty damn weak.
>>284125506You can definitely hear their ages in some scenes, but as a whole they’re doing a good job with the material. Also, personally, I’m just glad to hear Megumi Hayashibara on screen. I hope we get a new Slayers before she gets too old for the role.
>>284125245>which feels especially weird given it's not effectively a period piece set in 80s JapanDunno if it really explains anything, but Furinkan translated a producers' interview about it.>In what sense do you mean adapting to "suit the present"?>Okamura: It was a compliance-related consideration. Some viewers might be bothered if we used expressions from the original work, such as those related to gender, directly. [2] We were very conscious of how to rephrase words that might have been off-putting without changing the original's intent, but still convey the essence of the work without damaging its core. >Sato: I don't want to say that it was bad back then, but I think there are some differences in how things are perceived between the values of the 1980s and the Reiwa era. We were particularly careful with expressions related to gender.>It's not easy to find alternative expressions, is it?>Okamura: That's right. I think the beginning of the first season was difficult. But we didn't want to resort to easy rephrasing or cut entire lines, so we just kept thinking.>Sato: Director Konosuke Uda, series composer Kimiko Ueno, and everyone else involved spent a lot of time searching for a compromise that would fit the current situation without compromising the quality of the original work. [3](continued)
>>284130613>In episode 13, a new character, Hikaru Gosunkugi, appears. This ties back to what we were talking about earlier about the balance of expression, but I thought that Gosunkugi's actions might be difficult to draw the line by current standards.>Sato: That's true. Gosunkugi secretly takes photos of Akane, which isn't really good from a compliance perspective. But changing him would also be wrong.>That's one of Gosunkugi's characteristics, isn't it? If that aspect were removed, it would make him seem less dangerous.>Okamura: In fact, Ranma blocks his every attempt. When Gosunkugi tries to take a photo of Akane, Ranma is always in the picture, so we were conscious of drawing the line. https://furinkan.com/features/interviews/animage202511.htmlThey both talk about "compliance"...
It's not gay to want to kiss Ranma on the lips
>>284130635>>284130613is there somebody holding a gun to their head?
>>284130017Eh, I wouldn't say it is OOC given that Ranma complains basically every time someone forces him to change. It was just a bit extended from one panel and it was less annoyed than he was in the original anime.
>>284126556>>284126951>>284126768I mean, he's literally got nothing left to give her, since their entire life's work was embezzled away, so he either threw himself into working for someone else, and/or turned to drink and became useless. Meanwhile, Ukyo probably apprenticed at various restaurants as part of her training journey, finally saving enough to buy her own tools and rent/buy a place.
>>284121500Probably the same reason S1 kept translating "pigtailed girl" as "girl with the braid". Look guys our dialogue is Unique (tm)
>>284130017They probably just wanted to add lines to Ukyo because she doesn't show up anymore this season.
>>284122394Based writeup
>>284130017Just look at the smile on that face. Fuck Genma for making lolikyo cry.
>>284118237Fine, so Ranma's not allowed to be wary of being perceived as a crossdresser anymore. Why didn't they just rewrite the line, though? Apparently, Ranma being opposed to wearing girl clothes is still acceptable (China overalls scene), so why didn't they change his line to something like "I don't want people to see me in a girl's outfit" as he strips and then keep the beating the same? Was there something else objectionable about that scene?
>>284121500I think it's probably this >>284130916 but also possibly just that the current English dub scriptwriters might not be familiar with the entire series, and so are just kinda translating things season by season without knowing how things end up. I got this impression when the dub of the very first episode had the guide's wording strongly imply that Ranma turns into "the" drowned girl instead of just himself if he were a girl; it's a pretty common misconception/belief that people sometimes have if they haven't read as far as the Herb arc in the manga (since female Herb's design is clearly based off male Herb and isn't a Ranma lookalike).Like it's possible the writers don't know kawaiikunee is something Ranma says a lot, or that Kuno always refers to Ranma's female form in the same way even when addressing her directly, as if "osage no onna" is her actual name, so they should just pick one translation for these terms and stick with it because they're pretty much catchphrases. Though I think Ranma does at least say some variants on uncute etc. in Japanese so there was some flexibility there, but Kuno calls girl Ranma "osage no onna" all the time.
Goddamn, 70 episodes of 161 are filler in the old anime, with a mix of filler added to manga adapted chapters as well, so pretty much half the old anime is filler.I kinda want to rewatch it because I barely remember the old anime, much less the fillers.
>>284131378past a certain point filler becomes main content
>>284131378Friendly reminder that they would often cut/heavily compress/significantly alter (for the worst) manga content only to push more filler. E.g they crammed all of the Nabiki as Fiancee arc (six chapters) into one episode and then had the next episode be a garbage filler episode about missing food
>no kasumi as fiancee arc in the manga>no kasumi as fiancee arc in the animewhy

>>284129995 Viz: I never dreamed such an unfeminine girl could possibly exist!Netflix sub: I can't believe such a not-so-cute woman exists in this world.Netflix dub: Is it really possible that a girl so un-cute could even exist in this universe?Gender censorship or Viz being loose with its translation?
>>284123950Just ignore the censorshipschizo, he was just sperging out about how AI dubs "will ruin the medium" in another thread that just archived, while he is constantly dismissing censorship and acting like it didn't already make this medium shittier.How do you reconcile concern trolling about AI dubbing and cheering on censorship in the same breath? That's like saying "won't someone think of the children?!" after you just drove through an Elementary School playground with a semi-truck on purpose.Surely anyone with even an ounce of self respect and awareness realizes how hypocritical that sounds, but it tracks with his behavior over the years.>>284123754Expecting logic from slop with Netflix's western money behind it was your first mistake, anon. This demake sucks huge balls
>>284131991Censorship. Gender nonsense has been in localizations for a while, now, like -san being replaced by "Mx." for example.Onimai also had streaming services censoring dialogue about Mahiro's sitting posture being female instead of male after he got swapped. It's mental illness all the way down.
>>284132149Disgusting.If the Ukyo dialogue was censored though, then was in censored in the remake's original JP dialogue. She definitely repeats "kawaiikune".
>>284132149>mxwhat the fuck?
>>284129545>>284131378The two I can remember having very positive feelings for were the one where Ranma wore a bandage on his nose (Ranma the Lady-killer(?))and the one where Akane goes to the hospital (Akane Goes to the Hospital). Couldn't tell you shit about them other than I thought they were really above average for the show.Other than those, I think I remember one of the snow-themed anime-originals episodes being decent, and same the one where there's a ghost of female Ranma.
>>284132172Is it me or she looks like a doll due to having no pupils?
>>284131991>>284132149It isn't censorship, just shitty translations>>284121500Viz went with "unfeminine" for some reason, but Ranma is literally saying "uncute,"Sub went with "not-so-cute", that's dumb, it's like they were afraid to insult Akane.Rare dub win in this one.
>>284132225IIRC "Mixter" or something, "gender neutral" nonsense.
>>284131378I remember the Tofu's mother episode was the first time I went "wtf is this? I don't remember this from the manga!". Peak exhaustion from the tea ceremony arcs, to the point I almost dismissed the entirety of it as made up shit because of all the butchering and rearranging.
>>284131063I think that would've worked, but they cut the entire end of that chapter for time, I think.
Ryoga a cute
>Ranma demake doesn't even have DoCo
>>284132462>Rare dub win in this one.Thanks!Another big difference - Ukyo calls Akane a hussy a couple times in the Netflix sub, but not in the dub or the Viz translation.>>284130393Viz: That little...And just when Akane and Ryoga were about to get together, too!Netflix sub: You hussy! Akane and Ryoga were just about to confirm their love!>>284130416Viz: You...You…Netflix sub: That hussy! Where did she go?
>>284129673>God I hate Akane so much. I have hated her since the 90s when I was in middle school and was a karate tomboy myself.YWNBAW
>>284133086actually chud I name it and claim it
>>284133149Real women (female) love Akane and relate to her, the fact that you say you always hated her was already a giveaway cause only troons and comers hate her.
>>284129673>Ryoga deserves much better.the rapist deserves every worst possible outcome
>>284130017>Ranma doesn’t like Ryoga romantically eitherSays you.
>>284133045She says おのれ, it's a rude way to say "you" or to express anger, like "damn you", she actually says it a lot, I think it's part of her kansai speech, they could make up some insult unique to her or something.

>>284133407Thanks again. Fail for the subs, then.
>>284133278Nearly raping Ranma is only, like, the seventh worst thing Ryoga's done to him.
>>284133407The dub of the old anime had her say "jackass" a lot but I don't actually know without comparing if it was used as the translation's equivalent of "onore"
>>284114717Ryoga is retarded I can't stand him
>>284132670Tsubasas arcs too, at least its clear Mappa will never adapt Tsubasa
>>284133801Cope and seethe. Ryoga is one of the most popular characters in the series.
>>284133801That's no way to talk about Ranma's boyfriend!
>>284134165Ranma's boyfriend is Kuno
>>284134234wrong!
>>284114937we know, Ranma.
>>284134416Ranma says no because deep down she's aware she might like it if she said yes
>>284114717Ahh isn't this show so much more enjoyable when it focuses on the heart and soul of the series (Rankane)? Another week of us being spared the presence of a certain disgusting dirty whore who is ironically named after a hygiene product is also great. Unfortunately, Ukyo tried her best to meet the worthless slut quotient for the week with some success. The filthy pig nonsense towards the end didn't help either: Ryoga is as gross as ever. But all the above was worth it to see Ranma put in his place and realize what he is very lucky to have. If the entire series was like this, it would be one of the all time greats. I'm sure this episode would be a favorite for normal people. I wish MAPPA would understand this and stop spending time and money animating atrocious and sickening nonsense and just stay with what is good and wholesome.
Ranma is too nice to Ryoga. Why is he protecting him? That pig is sleeping in the same bed with his fiancée, pressed against her body and Ranma just tolerates that? And then running after Ryoga in the end because he felt bad of hurting him? Is Ranma ok? Ryoga deserves worse than that.
>>284134570>Ryoga is as gross as everTrue and based.
What was female ranma doing under the blankets of a boys bed?That's quite the outfit Ranma put on.Pig boy will really go for any girl who likes him.Melon soda float. I can't remember the last time I had one.Another silly episode. Feels like they cut quite a bit on the bushes scene when Ryoga got a bit handsy but I could be misremembering.
>>284134570The soulmates of the series are Ranma and Shampoo.
>>284134606it's because he's in love with him why can't people see the obvious? there are so many hints of this when you pay close attention (like Ranma always being concerned for Ryoga's feelings and being happy to see him when he pops up). Ranma protects him because if he didn't, Ryoga would get kicked out the Tendo dojo and he would be separated from him forever since Ryoga would wander off and get lost permanently. people say "Ranma is guilty for getting Ryoga cursed and that's why he does it" but that is very thin and unbelievable. besides it would only explain why Ranma doesn't tell Akane but it doesn't explain why Ranma actively helps Ryoga keep P-Chan a secret (like in the chest tattoo arc) Takahashi couldn't make Ranma's homolust explicit in the confines of a shounen manga publishing in the 90s but it is there and it is the only plausible answer to your question
>>284116296we're getting closer to fish rod of love episode lads
>>284134801Or you know it could be because Ranma and Ryoga have been good friends since forever. Also Ranma knows there's no chance of Ryoga and Akane together.
>>284123640he wanted to cockblock and troll ryogapretty much the reasoning behind all this episode
>>284134882ranma wants ryouga's p-chan
>>284130273imagine wanting akane instead of hot psycho brunette
>>284134851they weren't THAT good of friends. remember that although they fought a lot and he would take Ryoga home, he still had trouble remembering his name when he first appears. and there is certainly no way they were good enough friends to overlook what Ryoga now does. >Also Ranma knows there's no chance of Ryoga and Akane together.nope he actually does believe it sometimes and he is jealous in both senses (of Akane and of Ryoga). his bisexuality goes haywire
>>284134513Also that phrasing might sound worse than I mean it, like I get it could be taken as like a rape justification from Kuno's perspective, but actually Ranma's the one holding all the cards here. She realizes she's standing on the edge of an abyss and that the female form could open up experiences that she'd never consider otherwise once she crosses a certain lineI'm definitely looking at this part with shipping goggles on but there's something sorta interesting how even in this super early nightmare sequence his initial response is just "b-but we're both guys" but then upon realizing she's in girl form there seems to be a brief moment of realization. Like a realization that there's technically nothing really stopping her from getting with Kuno while in this form except her mental conception of herself as a guy and resistance toward the idea from that perspective, like maybe things might change if she stayed a girl long enough and that in the eyes of others there'd be nothing really strange about Kuno pursuing her. Like the visuals of the dream might look more rapey, but the main fear she's actually experiencing in the nightmare is more a loss of identity or even just a shaking up of how she's viewed herself up to nowAnd it is interesting to note how across the series Ranma slowly becomes more and more willing to do things within the female form that he wouldn't consider at the beginning of the series. It's like one part (1/2, even) of him actually kind of enjoys the female form and the other part keeps trying to reverse it because it's what he's been telling himself he "should" do to be normal and not have to grapple with these complicated new feelings anymoreI might just be throwing everything at the wall but I think my reading at least kinda works
>>284134801Calm down anon. They are just very good friends (even tough Ryoga would probably never admit that)
>>284134798If you have have Shamshit in your soul, you are destined for hell.
>>284134606I think Ranma realizes how innocent Ryoga's P-chan schtick is after the Happosai shit. Honestly, Ranma felt pity for Happosai, he can't help himself.
>>284134606He feels guilt over being the one who knocked Ryoga into the cursed pool in the first place. Also Akane is so blinded when it comes to P-chan Ranma has basically given up on trying to make her see the truth.As for why he ran after Ryoga? Ranma may mock him and toy with him, but in reality Ryoga is his only male friend so he doesn't actually hate him or anything like that.
>>284134922You didn't say anything unreasonable as someone who doesn't care for the Kuno/Ranma pairing.
>>284134927like I said >>284134915 there is absolutely no way they were such good friends at the beginning of the series for Ranma to overlook the P-Chan thing. that crosses just about every line. he would at least tell Ryoga to stop doing it at the very least but he never doesthe real reason he doesn't is because he had his romantic awakening after fighting with Ryoga and couldn't bear to see him go. you can not refute the obvious fact
>>284134915I think he's jealous in a reactionary, knee jerk kind of way, like he behaves the same way when Akane gives any other male attention. I actually can't think of one moment where there's something between Akane and Ryoga. The author always makes Ryoga the laughing stock
>>284133179Name a single good thing about Akane.All the girls I watched Ranma with liked Ukyo more as Ranma's endgame. They weren't into the arranged marriage bullshit.
>>284135019Akane is not a psycho. Ukyo and Shampoo demonstrated they are willing to beat up other girls for Ranma. Kodachi has Ranma portraits all over her room. They are all crazy. Akane is the only level headed one. Plus, she's the only one able to calm down Ranma in his most dangerous cat fu state.
>>284135019I'm not an Akane fan but one thing I genuinely really like about her is how forgiving she is. Like she's concerned about and friendly toward even the people who've tried to hurt/kill/kidnap her in the past. It's something I think the old anime shows well too in the various filler episodes, where characters from old arcs are brought back or the larger cast all interact, but the manga did it too and first so it's definitely a part of the character that Rumiko originally intended.
>>284134998>I think he's jealous in a reactionary, knee jerk kind of way, like he behaves the same way when Akane gives any other male attentionthe only other male who makes Ranma jealous in the series is Shinnosuke and that only furthers my point. with him, Ranma was just openly aggressive, because he isn't attracted to him. with Ryoga he is never like that>I actually can't think of one moment where there's something between Akane and Ryoga. true there isn't anything and even Ranma says Ryoga isn't man enough to do anything, but when you're bi and being freaky you project your own lusts onto others. he sometimes buys into Akane and Ryoga being a possible couple because he's thinking "I'm attracted to Ryoga, so why wouldn't she be?"
>>284134830I Just can't wait.
>>284135088Well what about when Ranma fights Ryoga. He doesn't hold back at all, unlike with Akane where he never hurts her. Wouldn't Ranma hold back if he likes Ryoga
Happosai cannot even talk anymore? Legit the worst anime of the year.
>>284133669"Jackass" was for "ahou" I think, which is another Ukyo favorite term.
>>284135219PANTI
>>284135171to answer your question, you first have to understand that Ranma is actually not attracted to people who are openly affectionate towards him, but rather to people who fight with him but he still can buy into the idea that deep down they still love him. this is because he is perpetually trying to replicate his relationship with his father and mother. that's why he is attracted to Akane: he gets off on their fights and her hitting him (he doesn't think it's abuse, he thinks it hot). that is also why he was only expresses open attraction to Shampoo and Ukyo in their intro arcs specifically because they fought him/tried to kill him. when they turn into lovesick simps, he loses all interest in them. and this finally explains why he loves Ryoga and starts loving him the moment they fight -- he can go all out on him but still have some hope of mutual affection at the end. Ranma is basically a sexual Saiyan
>>284134977That's reassuring honestly!
>>284135270OK you win this round
>>284135219He didn't say anything in the manga for this part.
Ryoga episodes=best episodes
Oh yeah, forgot one more thing that stood out to me. Ranma's red shirt lacked detail. Instead of the tying button Chinese red shirt he classically had, today's episode, it looked like a flat-chested piece with no details. Just like Akane.
>>284134134I have only watched the remake and Ryoga is my favorite character so far.
>>284134830>>284135162One of the funniest arc of this manga. You think the remake will make it to this?
Ranma doesn't deserve Akane
>>284135888You're right, he deserves better.
>>284135901There's no one better
>>284134909Kodachi-chan, please.
>>284135687He's the cutest. This season suffered a lot without him
>>284136135
>>284136135Ryoga kind of is a creep but I can't help loving this poor guy.
Why has female Ranma's VA been in so few modern anime when her voice acting is still so good?
>>284137085Maybe the fact that she's 60 years old and starred in several of the most famous anime of all time in the 90s and 2000s and is probably set for life?
>>284120220He absolutely is. He offered/sold his body multiple times to Kuno and Happosai. And sometimes even his enormous ego alone made him act like a weirdo just to be best guy and best girl at the same time. Bro is desperate.
>>284137208Akane how can you live with your future husbando/waifu like that?
>>284132802
She's an obaasan anon...her prime was multiple decades ago...her time is over...let her rest...also, isn't she super expensive from what I heard?
>>284132957The music has definitely lacked the bangers of the OG series.
>>284137268Meant for >>284137085
>>284135171Ryoga keeps coming back. This is what makes their dynamic so exhilarating. Ranma gets a bud he doesn't have to pull his punches on, and Ryoga keeps coming back. Ranma can be a turd, and Ryoga keeps coming back. Thanks to Genma being Worst Parent, Ranma's been stuck in a transient, deprivation-based lifestyle for years, and has had to give up countless things and relationships, but Ryoga keeps coming back. That is huge if you're Ranma, knowing that all he has to do is wait, and Ryoga will keep coming back. It might not be the most ideal kind of constancy, but it's something.
>>284137085I read that when the decision for this remake was made Megumi called Ranma's male VA Kappei Yamaguchi and asked him if he'd be in. Otherwise she wouldn't have reprised her role as female Ranma I guess.
>>284137439I'm guessing there were several phone calls among the original cast than ran along those lines. As much as this MAPPA remake grieves me, it is a really ballsy move resurrecting a decades-old series into a different century, when it was controversial back then and is arguably even more so today.
>>284135687trueI can't wait for Breaking Point next season
>>284137439Seriously both Ranma VA do a superb job. The whole cast is very excellent and I'm glad most of them came back for the remake.
>>284127366
>>284137708That subtitle is pure cringe, no one would actually speak like that.
>>284137208>>284137229Why is it always Kuno?
>>284137798
>>284137798Female Ranma is secretly attracted to Kuno on a physical level and enjoys toying with him and maybe pushing her own boundaries a little, but is simultaneously afraid of going too far beyond those boundaries and therefore essentially admitting to herself or others that she really does enjoy this and isn't "just" doing it as part of a larger plan. This attraction is mostly physical and not emotional which usually allows Ranma's feelings for Akane to overpower it and prevent her from thinking too hard about it.
>>284138023Female Ranma is not a distinct personality; Ranma detests Kuno and thinks he's a sex pervert and a blowhard, there is no attraction there.
>>284137875oh shit this is like that one doujin I've read.
>>284138054It's the same base personality/soul but a completely different body biologically. It's at least possible that the condition of having a slightly different brain/hormones/possibly even emotional expression (ex. Ranma seems to cry more/openly as a girl) for an extended time while in female form could make her perceive things a little differently than as a male, including the female body having an involuntary physical attraction to a guy that Ranma doesn't experience in his normal male state.Part of the antagonism Ranma has toward Kuno could be due to recognizing her female body's innate attraction toward him and being turned off by it psychologically by his male mind, in addition to the sexual threat that Kuno poses to his female body.
>>284130613>>284130635You gotta pay the fiddler with standards and practices; things are just more strict now if you're on regular TV.
Best girl
>>284137798Kuno's an easy mark who thinks with his dick harder than the people who think Ranma '89 is Plastic fucking Little.
>>284135070>Akane>forgivingI’m pretty sure the fact that she beats up Ranma for any little slight is the exact opposite of forgiving…
Are they setting these two up to get together? I haven't read the manga but I thought he would get with Shampoo or something
>>284138725Ranma is an insensitive jerk. He literally valls her in this episode an "easy woman". He deserves the beating.
>>284138895>Are they setting these two up to get together?>I haven't read the manga but I thought he would get with Shampoo or somethingOut of curiosity, what first led you to think Ryoga might get with Ukyo or Shampoo?
>>284138895Or something is what he ends with
>>284138215> It's at least possible that the condition of having a slightly different brain/hormones/possibly even emotional expression (ex. Ranma seems to cry more/openly as a girl) for an extended time while in female form could make her perceive things a little differently than as a maleGonna take this opportunity to say that people have used page related as evidence that Ranma's sense of gender and sexuality is exactly the same in female form as in male form, but I think it's actually the opposite.Pic related is just how a shy closeted bisexual girl would react to suddenly being in a hot springs full of attractive naked women. I doubt a normal male would act this way.
>>284138931I just figured since it's pretty obvious at this point that Ranma and Akane will be together, the rest of them have to make do with each other, so I thought eventually they would start hooking up. I mean I doubt this new girl will win over Ranma although I could be surprised
>>284138940Oh that's too bad, I thought he would get with Shampoo since she's available and just wants a man and he doesn't seem to be too picky either at this point
>>284138895No Ryoga ends up with a girl who has a pig fetish. Her name is Akari.
>>284139058This arc was funny.
>>284139058Okay that sounds hilarious so I’m guessing Shampoo gets with a cat lover or something. That would be cute
>>284139058By the same logic, I bet Rumiko will pair up Ranma with a girl who has a girl fetish ^_-
>>284138023What about the messing with Ryoga by flirting with him?
>>284139072It really was
>>284135219the only based thing about this remake
>>284139146At some point, she will either have to accept Mousse is the only one who can tolerate her, or fall for the long duck dong.
>>284138895He does match better with Ukyo, I dunno why they suddenly need Akari for that. Literally remove Akari from the story and nothing will change.
>>284139223It's possible there's something going on there too; I just haven't thought about it in as much detail. I think with Ryoga it might be a little different somehow in terms of Ranma's mentality, since Ranma knew Ryoga for a couple years before the present day (and of course was a guy all that time), while with Kuno he met him in both forms on the same day much more recently. So maybe possibly he feels more comfortable with Ryoga or feels differently about flirting with him, etc.>>284138987I think the scenario on that page is interesting but yeah, maybe not enough evidence to come to a definite conclusion either way. Like based on that I can also see it working like:>Ranma primarily lives his life as a male and so still retains a residual attraction to women even when in female form since it's what he's most used to experiencing. The psychology affects the physiology too>Ranma's female form is also physically capable of experiencing a biological attraction to males, but her male form can't really understand/retain those feelings on either a mental or physical level because much less time is spent as a girl comparatively, so they feel weird + wrong by default
>>284138987>>284139447Wasn't disagreeing with your take on it though if that's not clear. The body language on the page is interesting too
>>284139379Ukryo will never happen, and was doomed to failure. Dunno why you fags still can't see that after 30 years. ZERO. CHEMISTRY.
>>284135219>Happosai cannot even talk anymore?I know, it's great.
>>284139753So you approve of the lame RyogaxAkari ship?
all a woman has to say is "I like you for who you are" and men will lose their minds
>>284139447>>Ranma primarily lives his life as a male and so still retains a residual attraction to women even when in female form since it's what he's most used to experiencing. The psychology affects the physiology tooRyoga first became attracted to Akane when he was in pig form (Ranma points out the pig blush and boner), so apparently the original potentials for attraction remain regardless of the biological realism. We don't really know if being P-chan expanded that to pigs since I think the only pigs Ryoga ever met were trying to beat or kill him.
>>284139830What's wrong with it?
>>284139933It's lame
>>284138987>I doubt a normal male would act this wayAnd how would Ranma have reacted without his curse?
who is the stupidest character in this show?
>>284140534Ryoga
>>284140534Akane, for not realizing that I am the man for her.
>>284140558Fuck off, Ranma
>>284140385Probably like this
>>284114717CUTE CUTE CUTE, CUTEST BOY ON THE WHOLE SERIES, HONESTLY THE ONLY REASON I COULD STAND THE ORIGINAL SERIES. HIS EPISODES ARE THE BEST. I LOVE HIM, I WANT TO SMOOCH HIM.
>>284138725Just tsundere. And like, in Dojo destroyer, she did forgive him for tricking her. The beating is part of forgiveness.
Who had more action with Akana, Ryoga or Ranma?
>>284142295Ranma...
>>284142607I mean, if P-chan hugs count, then Ryoga. Also, he got smooched. And pushed into her bra (through unusual circumstances) in a cut arc. Ranma and Akane did almost kiss though, sadly interrupted by their families.
>>284142295If you think he's cute in the anime, have you seen him in the manga?
>>284140534Been a while since I've gone through the series, but probably either Nodoka or Gambling King
>>284140534Genma
>>284142786Ranma saw her naked though.
>>284144396Why?He's a cunt but not stupid.Kuno probably low iq as hell since he gets played by virtually anyone
>>284138895>>284139379IIRC Takahashi thoght they had a good dynamic and consireded the idea while the original manga was still serialized, but went for a different love interest since she couldn't come for a natural way for Ukyo and Ryoga to be together
>>284142859Just a few panels people post here or on social media, honestly this not my kind of series (or at least the orignal anime wasn't) so I'm not hooked enough to read the manga, buf for what I've seen he looks good. His desig is pure gold, he looks good on manga, anime and promotional art.
>>284140534Ryoga is an imbecile with zero direction sense, and extra brain damage from all the head impacts.Akane, if she's not "merely pretending" wrt the entire P-Chan deal. I can't decide if she's secretly intelligent for coming up with outlandish justifications for why it's Ranma's fault in every situation, or really dumb for automatically believing in them as is.We can't exactly count Gambling King. He's at least smarter than Soun, if we're going by "he's only smart enough to cheat dumb kids out of their inheritance" as the main criteria.Hinako is only dumb in kid mode. Or if she stays adult for too long and denies kid mode her fun.
>>284138284>pretend to be a man for whole life>fantasizes about being a trad wife multiple timesI dont get it
Been mostly giving these threads a miss. But how is this adaption? Is it closer to the source material? Better or worse than the og anime?
>>284139306>>284139761It would have been more respectable if they just removed him entirely instead of doing this pussy ass gay shit, no respect whatsoever for this lack of commitment.
>>284138895That was the original plan (Mousse for Shampoo, Ukyo for Ryoga), but Rumiko scrapped it and introduced Akari and Konatsu late into the manga instead.Ukyo does share some stuff in common with Ryoga, such as being wronged by the Saotomes in some way, wanting revenge, and having similiar eyes in the manga.
>>284140534Notice how no one said Ranma?
>>284146418>anime only has no idea what he's talking about
>>284146518He's a kungfu genius savant. Literally understands/analyses the principles behind any attack done against him after just one exposure(two if it requires a trick he doesn't have prior experience to utilise for leverage).
>>284146194Much closer to the source material than the previous anime, but at the cost of having to skip multiple story arcs in order get to the manga's ending within a reasonable amount of time.Whether it's better or not is subjective. If you prefer the manga, than the new anime is better. If you prefer the old anime over the manga and the changes/direction it went, than you'll likely still prefer that one.

Who is the funniest character and why is it Kuno?
Shampoo is for pump and dump
>>284145679For me, Rumiko's Ranma 1/2 designs are so beautiful that both animes make me wince when they derp it up.
>>284147692Manga Ryoga is so beautiful fuck the remake for not doing him any justice.
>>284114717>the state of RyogafagsIt's a best girl episode. Everything in this episode was the result of *Ukyo*'s machinations.
>>284146929>brings up unrelated conversationSure bud. We were talking about Happosai's lack of speaking role in the latest episode. Try to keep up, alright?
>>284147692I think the early manga designs are super cute with how everyone looks kind of rounded/chibi, but eventually after a certain point the characters seem to become taller/more angular and less cute in a way. I'm not sure exactly when the switch happens, maybe around the middle or close to the end. It's not even that it looks bad but the vibe is less appealing overall.
>>284149245I agree. I think the whole of Ranma 1/2 is Rumiko art at its best, but I think it hits its very peak a few volumes into Ranma 1/2 and stays there maybe to the series halfway point or a little beyond that.
>>284146194>Been mostly giving these threads a miss. But how is this adaption? Is it closer to the source material? Better or worse than the og anime?It’s censored slop woke trash made for the “modern audience.” Not only did they remove all the nipples and give us Barbie Doll style nudity (imagine removing the nudity from a fucking ECCHI), but they also toned down Happosai and are removing any sort of lines or scenes that could be perceived as “transphobic” or “homophobic.”
>>284146518Ranma can be a bit thick, but he's not outright stupid.
>>284150989What's the stupidest thing Ranma ever did?
>>284151544Stay with Akane
>>284148558Ukyo is a background character, Ryoga is the tritagonist of the series. Everything Ukyo is exists to service the mains, cry more.
>>284152329>Ryogafag shitting on Ukyo>Everything Ukyo is exists to service the mains, cry more.Let me think, whose every powerup exists as a Ranma Saotome technique practice session?
>>284151924Keked as a Rankanefag
>>284151544He's really bad at Old Maid.
>>284152850Don't get mad there's a character hierarchy in stories, just accept that not everyone gets top billing.
>>284153078Oh, I'm not mad. Unlike a certain pig-boy who can't deal with Ranma being atop him.
>>284146518Ranma is pretty smart actually.
>>284153330Maybe that's a state Ryoga doesn't mind all that much
>>284119533Yes, which is hilarious. What was Akane's comeback supposed to mean? Each of the translations has a different possible meaning.>Viz: "Who are you to talk, you pervert!!"Sounds like "Crossdressing is a sin, you have no moral high ground">Netflix (subtitles): "The one flirting like crazy is you, you idiot!"Sounds like "I'm flirting with Ryoga? You're flirting with Ryoga!" >Netflix (dub): "The only one here who's head over heels is you, you big jerk!"Sounds like "You're so obsessively in love with me you stalked me, hypocrite"
so they are completely skipping the Akane cant cook segments????
>>284154094Or they're holding it back for an impact episode.
>>284153504>The "P-chan has three times the power as Kodachi" chart
>>284154777Charts in this series are a joke, everyone is a strong, as fast, or as skilled as the story requires.
They didn't reduce her breasts; they removed them entirely. Ranma is as flat as Akane.>>284116101>>284117883She doesn´t look as disheveled as she did in the manga. It also lacked Ryoga acting more insistent with Ranma; even if they can't show it, you can add a few lines.>>284119226>>284119317God, I hope Ukyo does the same to Ranma, while he's naked.
>>284154975as strong*
>>284119317GYAAATTT
Ryoga is the most relatable character in Ranma
>>284154284>>284154094Yeah, it was revealed in Breaking Point in the manga, so they're holding off. Hence why I hope we get cookies a bit later too.
>>284155169I don't think anyone in this series is relatable, but they are sympathetic.
>>284155169>>284155594I think Ryoga's directional challenges were meant to be too exaggerated to be relatable but for some of us they still are
>>284155661His directional foibles were more impactful when GPS wasn't in everyone's pocket.
>>284155728>implyingRyoga gets given directions and maps plenty of times. Brain gaps aren't that easy.
>>284149245In those very first numbers it looked like Takahashi actually tried to draw for a change, too bad it turned into scribbles and doodles at a certain point
>>284155169Ranma is who the readers wants to be, Ryoga is who they actually are
>>284149245>>284149467Makes sense, since they're teenagers,so right about the midpoint of the series, most of the cast would be at/over 16(Kodachi 15-16), which is about the start of when the final adult shape takes place(anything past early twenties, you have to work doubly hard to change, hence why you don't want to enter your twenties obese).
>>284154063This is why I hate the western flanderization of the term "pervert". It USED to mean the same thing as in the east, "against the 'natural order of things'", but got narrowed down to" sexual deviancy" This retardation is a major factor in why the zaako zaako song got remade.
>>284156489Fair point, Ryoga inherited being a retard, but anyone who lived through the days of glove boxes full of road maps and printed MapQuest directions can empathize with Ryoga and his frustrations more deeply than someone from the smart phone era could (or should) be able to.
>>284156656>>Ryoga is who they actually are>second-strongest fighter in Tokyo>can walk myself from one end of Japan to another in a day >perfect face and banging body 24/7>cute inconspicuous animal disguise>kind, goodhearted guy so desperate to be my best bro that I can try to cuck, imprison, rape or kill him and he'll come back for more>kind, goodhearted girl who thinks I'm so moe she'll treat me like a beloved pet even if I do all the above to her fiance>hot girl who regularly tries to seduce me (and then turns back into my wannabe best bro so I don't have to deal with the consequences)>hot girl who commits to marrying me the instant she sees me>parade of random old men, construction workers, okonomiyaki chefs, etc meeting me and giving me special favors on the spot Anon, do you know something about my life that I don't and can you show me how to find it? >another hot girl who
>>284157555Talking about his romantic life of course.Akari doesn't count.
>>284157555Trips of truth nuke
>>284157555Ok Gosunkugi is who the readers actually are.
>>284139208That was Nabiki’s logic for why Akane should be his fiancée, so…
>>284157805Nabiki was just Matrix-weaving out of getting hitched to a poorfag leech by throwing Akane the Dyke under the bus.
>>284157316Which way do you think Viz meant it?
Anons, I'm ashamed to admit that I'm starting to feel attracted to feet. But only 2D and only for humiliation!>>284118237They could easily drop the girl's clothes line and leave it as him being an exhibitionist.>>284123002Innocent anon, Mappa was never going to adapt it.>>284123405Yeah, but Ranma is too shy to attempt anything with her or any other girl.
