Oh hey, Breaking Point. Exciting. Lot of filler in this episode. None of it felt off to me, even if it was a bit saccharine for Ranma 1/2.

I'll be real, there was always some of that subtext with Akane and Ranma. And they make a gag of it being because they are late to school. But I'll admit, it is a bit overt.

Now that it's ended, here are the arcs that are most likely to get adapted into S3 (presumably airing, once again, in Fall)

>Breaking Point (C.41-50)
>Akane vs Kodachi (C.81-84)
>Amazon Love Pills (C.92-94)
>Tsubasa Kurenai (C.100-102)
>Ryoga Goes Home (C.103-105)
>Happosai's Ultimate Technique (C.106-108)
>Kairaishi Mushroom (C.109-110)
>Super Soba (C.111-113)
>Principal Kuno (C.114-119)
>Waterproof Soap (C.120-124)
Seems like they have enough material for a Ryoga centric season, like how this was focused on Mousse and Shampoo.
>>
>>284626765
I feel like they're gonna manipulate things to end on the Moxibustion arc since that is a more momentous conclusion (Ranma getting his strength back) and has a heavy romantic component in the climax. The Soap arc isn't really finale material.

Good episode! Mousse being so pathetically petty is great. Overall I'd say that the second season was an improvement on the first, despite a couple of shaky episodes. They're getting better at timing the action and the comedy. I hope they can keep it up until the unadapted parts of the manga.
Can I PLEASE get a trailer for Mao now

>>284626765
Ryoga goes home is peak.
No way they're animating Tsubasa.
>>
>>284627613
I don't think they'd outright remove Tsubasa, since he's a necessary balance for the romance stuff, but I think he probably wouldn't appear until they had more Ukyo content to flesh out her role in the season.

This episode felt a bit overly sentimental for a series like Ranma, honestly - I suppose they wanted there to be some sort of emotional payoff to close off S2. Still, I think they nailed the comedic timing with a lot of the gags, so I'll forgive it.

Ranma 1/2 is one of the most watched Non-English shows on Netflix, but I'm not sure if they use that to measure success, the Blue Rays are also being sold.
It seems to be pretty popular, going by social media engagement and the various events and all the merch they've been doing.
As long as they keep that up we could get the whole manga.
>>
>>284631339
>two slots
I was just posting the arcs from Volumes 9 to 12 (plus Breaking Point) since generally they adapt 4 volumes worth of content per season.
They'll probably shuffle S2 around a bit though.

>>284629367
They better air out Akane before she develops skin mold.

Thoroughly enjoyed this season, more so than the first one, thanks to Shampoo. She's still the best. Apparently there will be some sort of big announcement for the series in March. Hopefully it will be the announcement of the third season.
>>
>>284631440
They're probably just gonna do one cour every fall. Netflix loves consistent releases (so people don't cancel their subscriptions) and I imagine that an S3 order was already in the pipeline given how the end of S2 hinted towards more Ryoga content

If ranma did get ducked, couldn't he just go soak in another spring of drowned thing and gain that power to overwrite the duck? Like a Spring of the drowned Velociraptor.
With Akane she could go take a dip in the girl spring and at worst she would change into a girl who looks like female ranma.
Maybe these are things were not supposed to think about.
He just tripped over her and picked up a random duck.
Akane is very crafty, or so she thinks.
This fight scene looks pretty good surprisingly.
So much for animation, back to the slide show.
Shampoo's having duck tonight.
Well that was a thing. Not as good as the original adaption and far from the manga. If this trend keeps happening we'll see a Sailor Moon reboot soon.
>>
>>284633249
Can Ranma get pregnant?
>>
>>284633298
I would assume so. However if he turns back into a man I would assume it would eject the fetus since the ovaries and the balls are the same structure during the babies development.
>>
>>284633249
Akane would not experience anything from Spring of Drowned Girl. It would just cure whatever curse she had. But she'd have to get to China.
>>
>>284633298
No, because Rumiko can't

>>
>>284633472
The whole point of the locking ladle in Musk arc. To be fair, maybe they just didn't want a half-human monstrosity from constant species changing (like what happened with the Mt Horai bird people, except there, it was because they kept drinking bird-changing water), but presumably, they were fighting male animals because they're usually bigger(for intraspecies combat. In species without said combat, the female is bigger to dedicate more resources to childbirth).

12 episodes pear year, at best this show is going to end up being about 58 episodes long assuming they don't skip a huge chunk to go straight to the last few arcs, but you'll need to wait till 2028 or 2029 at this rate, UY remake was only 48 episodes long, so I assume Ranma's won't go on for too long given that UY was more popular in Japan

>>284630071
This episode was played more for comedy in the 1989 anime
>>284626765
In the old anime they adapted a bunch of Mousse chapters after his debut, they did the same with Ryoga adapting a bunch of chapters with him after his debut, no idea why they moved stuff around this time, but is the least of the remake's problems
>>
>>284636225
2029 would be six seasons though, or 72 episodes. Six is around the acceptable minimum; at the current pacing it would take 7-8 seasons, and I don't want to rush.
>>
>>284626765
Sounds like a really lighthearted season. I mean Ranma is typically light, but that sampling doesn't have much action or excitement. Would be comfy though.

A truly wonderful episode. Ranma and Akane's romance being at the forefront both at the beginning and the end was a treat. I was also very impressed with the original scene! MAPPA has a much better grasp of the heart and soul of the series (Rankane) than Studio Deen ever did. It is so refreshing to see Ranma 1/2 breathe freely without catering to cretins like this >>284636189. When all is said and done, if MAPPA continues in this vein then Ranma as an anime will be defined entirely by their adaptation. Normal people won't have any interest in the old show.

Well, that ends Season 2. I must say that this Season has had higher highs than the last. The Romeo and Juliet episode being the absolute pinnacle of the series which won't soon be surpassed. Unfortunately, due to the wish to introduce all the major characters in this season, as well as some strange choices motivated by promos, there was a very large amount of sluttiness and whoredom in this season (if you know what I mean) which really leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Spamming Shitpoo and then introducing Happosai at the same time was too much for one season. While this isn't an issue which should recur, it did have a negative impact on my enjoyment of this season. My hope is that as MAPPA gains more comfortability with the show, they introduce more original Rankane content and minimize the screentime of the other "suitors". This will balance out the very inevitable cuts they will have to make to reach the end of the series in a timely fashion.

Overall, Akane-enjoyers and Rankane fans should have much to look forward as we head in Season 3. And really, these are the only people who matter at the end of the day.

Hop S3 doesn't take another year, that'll kill the hype since we need a bunch of seasons to even finish the manga even skipping arcs.

I hated that S2 skipped arcs, censored, adapted things worse than the original did, the music.
I do love the art style and I don't mind that it does things different from the manga. But now that the whole "it's adapting the manga" charade is gone, I hope they skip most non-essential arcs that have already been adapted, or just rush through them so we can get to new content. Adapt all the great manga chapters skipped even if they're in different order, add new stuff not in the manga since it doesn't matter. I feel like we already wasted a bunch of episodes adapting chapters the original anime did better here, now that we know it's not adapting the manga 100% then who cares if they just rush through stuff we've seen done better. Make new arcs, unadapted chapters, have fun with the characters.
