Ranma is such a do-over of Urusei Yatsura that it's kind of ridiculous and it's refreshing to see what Takahashi had in store for Shinobu winning because she gave all of that glory to Akane. It's also good to see how much she learned to avoid another Lum incident of the sex pot taking over the series. First thing that had to go: The bikini. Shampoo was kept in the most ornate and concealing dresses of any of the other characters. Then the timing. Shampoo gets introduced WAY later, she has already lost her 'tag' battle, so we don't get emotionally invested. She ends up getting turned into a cat, exciting Ranmas' phobia putting more distance between the two of them. Finally, Shampoo doesn't live near Ranma and only sporadically re-appears. Takahashi made sure that the Shampoo content was small enough that the Lum effect wouldn't take hold, but big enough that her fans wouldn't feel like she was being left out. Smart writing, and learning from your past mistakes, kids.
>>287936935dude, I drank a fucking chocolate cow.
>>287936935Shampoo already won the Ranmabowl and that's never going to change in the fans mid, no matter how hard rumiko seethes about it.
>>287938214I read this and I know she won.
>>287938214facts. they're the ultimate couple.
>>287938562>>287938214Cope.Ranma had more chemistry and interaction with Ukyo and Akane over Xiam-pu it was kind of ridiculous. The chinese girl is barely above Kodachi levels of relevance for the series.
>>287938753lmao spotted the rare kodachifag
>>287938791Damn right. I like how she is unarguably worst girl. There's purity in that.
I just want the remake to get to the unanimated content already. I want the Musk, Ryu Kumon, Konatsu, and all the other stuff.
>>287939697I will not get what I want of the remake.Cowards.
>Libertine ending where Ranma moves in with the Kunos becoming Tatewakis’ concubine and Kodachis’ stud.Would have loved the doujins. Some come close, but they show Kodachi being into some gross shit.
>>287938791there is nothing rare about a KodachifagI'm a bit of a Kodachifag myself!
