>>291530883>>291531211The anime remake censored out the use of the word "prize" to refer to Akane. Only notable dialogue change I spotted.
To be continued
>>291530484Tearful Soldier by Kazuya Kudo and Taku Kitazaki, not scanlated. Started this issue.>>291530906Yaiba by Gosho Aoyama, scanlated up to chapter 165. Started this issue.>>291531309Boxer Kiyoshi Hatanaka, who was about to face Gilberto Román in a world super flyweight champion title match that September (a match he ended up losing badly)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiyoshi_Hatanaka
>>291531420>they actually managed to find something they could censor in this arc tooAlmost impressive.
>>291531938>>291531420I didn't even notice it, since the scene and the conversation made it clear that it was already implied, to the point that everyone understood that the "prize" was Akane. It didn't even seem like it was actually censored, since it doesn't seem to have changed the scene or the characters' reactions.
I wanna gargle his balls un my mouth
By the way, the names of the next anime episodes have already been released:Episode #27 (Happy to Cologne) October 17Episode #28 (The Way of Tea) October 24Episode #29 (The Way the Cookie Crumbles) October 31Episode #30 (I Ate the Whole Thing) November 7Amazon Love Pills, the Tea Ceremony, and the Cookies arc. And I admit I'm surprised that the cookie arc will have two episodes, but it's four chapters and they probably want Kodachi to appear more, since she doesn't appear much in the manga, right?And I'm curious and thinking about the last episodes of this season, will there really be more arcs? I'm wondering if this season will only have 11 episodes and the fourth season will have 13 episodes, something like that happening.
>>291530528>>291530552>>291530574>this fucking shibari fetish shitWhy is Rumiko so perverted?
>>291531985In the first scene they just censor the word itself.Manga:>Cologne: Shouhin ga atta hou ga hariai ga aru to omotte na.>Akane: SHOUHIN?!Anime:>Cologne: Houbi ga atta hou ga hariai ga deru to omotte na.>Akane: HOUBI?!
>>291532208Then the second one:Manga:>Akane: Wasurenaide yo, atashi ga shouhin na n dakara.Anime:>Akane: Wasurenaide yo ichiou kono shoubu atashi ga kakatte ru koto ni natchatte ru n dakara.
>>291532304The Netflix subs translate this one as "Don't forget. I'm the prize for winning this fight…", reverting the entire censorship. Odd.It's not particularly accurate to what she says either.
>>291532304>>291532451
>>291532094She has an AGP tranny fetish and one of her favorite characters is the pedo old man who steals women’s underwear, and you’re only just asking NOW why Rumiko is perverted?
>>291531985>It didn't even seem like it was actually censored, since it doesn't seem to have changed the scene or the characters' reactions.Because neither of them cared about her as a motive for the conflict.
>>291532794Well >>291530823
>>291531233This chapter could've used more Akaneservice
>>291531348>>291531373This scene was funnier in the old anime than in the remake desu
>>291532871He was spoiling for that fight even before she was there. She dangled from that tree and he never even looked at her, not even when Cologne was explaining her dastardly plot as to why Akane was trussed up and her proposed outcome of the fight they were already engaged in.
>>291532933>This chapter could've used more RankoserviceFTFY, nobody cares about Cuckane except Rumiko herself and other femcels like her.
>>291531871It's shocking how little classic Shonen Sunday manga is scanlated.
>>291533478Hokuto no Gun has picked up B.B. again and are currently up to chapter 6. That was one of the biggest series from this era.
>>291533478Moments lost in time; like tears in rain.
Airen
>>291533631Oh that's cool.
>>291531420>They’re more worried about potentially objectifying the cis women while still leaving female Ranma as the most fetishized member of the cast who gets the most fanserviceI said this in the other thread but this really feels out of touch with the wokefag crowd. Standard feminism that centers cis women isn’t even considered all that progressive anymore in current year and is derisively referred to as “white women’s feminism.” Wokefags would take more offense at and find more problematic female Ranma’s objectification because they’ll think it’s pandering to the chasers or something.Is this an example of Japan’s progressive movement being 10 years behind the West’s I keep always hearing about?
>>291533905>Is this an example of Japan’s progressive movement being 10 years behind the West’s I keep always hearing about?Perhaps, or it's simply disregarding progressivism as a factor in the decision-making.
>>291534077>disregarding progressivism as a factor in the decision-making.For what other reason would there be to censor Akane being fought over as a prize?
>>291534111Maybe to not make the VAs repeat the dialogue word-for-word from what they said decades ago?
>>291530883>>291531420They inserted a bit of extra dialogue here too.>Cologne: I just thought having a reward would be more exciting.>Akane: A reward?>Cologne: The one who wins this fight will be able to date Akane Tendo. If Ryoga wins, he can be your boyfriend, and my son-in-law can marry Shampoo. >Akane: Don't use me for your own goals! Ranma. You too, Ryoga-kun, say something.
>>291534178Anon, they changed that one specific word every time it was used, while keeping almost everything else word-for-word identical to the manga.
Fun fact, this arc marked the one year anniversary of the manga. It debuted in issue 36/1987.
>>291533905>Standard feminism that centers cis women>white women’s feminismWhere’s the logic in that? What do trannies have to do with race? And if they do equate the troons with BIPOC is that ironically being racist themselves because they’re feeding into the stereotype of black women being naturally more masculine or some shit?
>>291533631Is it good?
>>291534767I've only read the 6 chapters that have been scanlated, but I'm liking it.
>>291530484>>291531871Tearful Soldier looks really cool.
>>291530484>>291530906These two both seem a bit out of place in the sports-heavy Shonen Sunday.Then again Ranma kinda does too.
>>291531291>>291531348>>291531373I like how Rumiko is just taking the piss out of battle shonen tropes here.
>>291532060M-Maybe they'll do Japanese Nanniquan after all?
>>291537045I give it a 50/50 chance. On one hand, it's a story arc focused on Ryoga. On the other hand, it's about sneaking into the girl's locker room with Happosai.
>>291537171I mean pretty much everyone thought there was no way they'd do Tsubasa too.
>>291537208They're going to censor it hard.
>>291530528>ryoga rope bondagehot
>>291538203Only for Ranma does he accept being restrained
>>291537208Happosai seems to be a wildcard so far. His intro story arc is the first episode to outright skip chapters (bathhouse battle) and significantly alter/cut content (wraith of) to condense a 7 chapter story into a single episode. Many of his other stories that should be in season 3 have been noticeably absent so far too (happo burst, super soba).
>>291538376Why are zoomzooms so fucking fragile?
>>291538575They were raised to think that everything is sexist/racist and given a savior complex.Zoomers hate Ryoga and Genma too.
>>291538950>Zoomers hate RyogaMore fools they
>>291538950>Zoomers hate Ryoga and Genma too.They'll change their tune once the zoomy fujos sink their claws into the series
>>291538950...so what DO they like? Akane?
>>291537208I always thought if the whole Tsubasa arc was cut, it would be for time, not for content. It was clear from S1 that they tried to preserve major plot points intact as much as possible (they went easier on lines that actually mattered to the plot). You could legitimately argue the Tsubasa arc isn't very important to the plot of the long run, but it's one of Ukyo's few focus arcs so that might have something to do with it.
>>291538950What's even the point of remaking Ranma of all things for such an audience?
>>291540267Pearls before swine.
Where do I find a girl like Akane who is comfortable being barefoot outdoors?
>>291540903Arkansas, but she's already been bred by her cousin.
>>291540903>>291540903>a girl like Akane who is comfortable being barefoot outdoorsAussie girls
>>291538950Okay but the Genma hate is legitimately deserved, he’s a greedy asshole who sells off and exploits his kid at the drop of a hat.
>>291541270That’s okay, because he turns into a cute and funny panda.
>>291541270Genma was regularly considered the Worst Father in manga until Rumiko debuted Rokudou Sabato in Rinne.
You're not supposed to think Genma is a good person, his appeal lies in how much of a shithead he is.
>>291541749>his appeal lies in how much of a shithead he is.That’s the appeal of the entire Ranma series, Kasumi is the only genuinely good person out of the entire cast.
>>291541362>Genma was regularly considered the Worst Father in manga until Rumiko debuted Rokudou Sabato in Rinne.If we’re counting Yashahime that’s now Sesshomaru.
>>291541815Dr. Tofu is a cool guy
>>291542166Dr. Tofu is a pedo who has crushes on an underage high school student, so no he’s just as bad as the rest of the characters not named Kasumi.
>>291541815>>291542166Akane is a good person too she’s just short-tempered, and ultimately Ranma does kinda deserve it.
>>291542200Sounds like a cool guy.
>>291542200>has crushes on an underage high school student, so no he’s just as badBut that's normal though...
>>291535341No scanlation of this, right?
>>291543208Nope >>291531871
>>291531629If nothing else, I think the remake handled the ending better than the OG anime by mimicking the manga's quick-and-snappy one panel end punchline. The OG anime made it into an entire scene that didn't even try to be a joke.
>>291532060>can't even adapt these chapters in the right order eitherBut WHY?
>>291536776>I like how Rumiko is just taking the piss out of battle shonen tropes hereRanma itself was basically just a parody of popular martial arts centric shonen manga at the time like Hokuto Ken and Dragonball. It also deconstructs the entire concept of gender.She also takes the piss out of and deconstructs the harem genre(before it was even created yet) with Urusei Yatsura, and destined lovers/reincarnation tropes with Inuyasha. It’s a large part of the charm of her series because she almost never plays tropes straight and pokes fun at the common anime tropes at the time by showing through her works just how ridiculous and stupid said tropes are.
>>291543767For some reason Ranma anime is allergic to the manga order.
>>291543818Nah. There are only 2 genders. Just because Ranma can magically switch doesn't change that
>>291544228Well at the very least Ranma as a series is deconstructing gender ROLES if not gender itself.
>>291544249That's apt. Genma was supposed to raise "a man among men" perfect son on pain of death, and that got fucked three ways over. Nodoka might blow off the evergrowing hair and the cat fear, but a son that's also a daughter? That's not going to carry water.
>>291544619Maybe the issue is that Nodoka is just as insane as Genma.
>>291545227I have a pet theory about that, even if none of it is verifiable.Nodoka came from a higher status family than Genma, who in all likelihood is from commoner stock. She fell for him, to the shame of her house, and married him against her family's wishes. Sounds like social suicide, but Genma is besties with Soun, who definitely comes from higher status than Genma given that property his dojo is on must be ancestral to the Tendo. Marrying Ranma from the lowly Saotome to a Tendo would elevate Ranma, and by virtue the Saotomes, above commoner status and back into the upper class, which means Nodoka's family would have to recognize that her marriage wasn't a mark of shame after all. It's just the sort of tiresome, ex-samurai hierarchical tradition-mongering Rumiko lampoons on. So Nodoka is nuts by modern standards, but would have been right at home in Tokugawa times.
>>291539988>...so what DO they like? Akane?They love female Ranma for being good tranny representation.
>>291546063They're wrong, they'll learn that before the end,
>>291546118>they'll learn that before the end,How is Ranma not good tranny representation considering he passes flawlessly and is always on his best behavior around women and never uses his troon curse for perverted, nefarious purposes?
>>291540267I don't really get it either. So much about the series is extremely zoomer-unfriendly.
>>291539988>...so what DO they like? Akane?Yes. That's how you know their generation is utterly fucked.
>>291547120Akane is cute though.
>>291546566>troon curseI know you're just throwing words around but Ranma literally becomes a female and doesn't pretend to be mentally ill (even if he's a huge slut).
>>291547143Kawaikunee
>>291547197>Ranma literally becomes a femaleAnd the fact that he DOES become a literal female is an unrealistic troon fantasy because since he’s already gone through puberty and got hulked up on testosterone, that test should still be effecting him and leaving masculinizing effects on his face so that he wouldn’t be able to pass so well in the face even if he gains the body of an actual female. Testosterone is one hell of a hormone and it’s effects can’t be so easily reversed, that’s why troons always say that the younger you transition the better and why they’re always advocating for child transition and puberty blockers, they know even a little bit of T guarantees you to a life sentence of an unpassable hon.>inb4 “b-b-b-but all the other cursed characters turn into their perfect animal equivalent!”Transforming from human into animal biology is neater and wouldn’t involve the permanent masculinizing effects testosterone leaves on the body, humans are already a type of mammal and mammal biology doesn’t involve different hormones between the species the same way there is between the two sexes.Also:>doesn’t pretend to be mentally illThe Jusenkyo curse is already meant to be an allegory for each character’s hidden repressed desires/self, that’s why their transformations fit so perfectly. Ryoga is perverted like a pig, Genma is lazy freeloading bum line a panda, Shampoo is cunning like a cat, Mousse is a crazy quack, and Ranma is actually really feminine instead of masculine and has a secret desires to be a woman and troon out that “he” was repressing all along.
>muh trannies muh troonsStop it already
>>291547862Where do you think we even are?
>>291547917On /a/. Not on /v/ like you seem to think.
>>291548033>on /a/In a Ranma thread.
>>291547143Yeah, but those types probably "like" a version of her that they made up in their head which has zero relationship to canon Akane. That's how it usually goes with them.
>>291543818>at the timeHas there ever been a time when harem wasn't a popular trope?
>>291547827>and has a secret desires to be a womanNo>>inb4 “b-b-b-but all the other cursed characters turn into their perfect animal equivalent!”You can inject all the allegories that you want and talk about testosterone but Rumiko has brushed off details about Ranma-chan's biology. The magic spring curse is simply something undesirable by the vast majority of the cast. Ranma's female body is weaker and, even if he's able to circumvent its shortcomings, mostly uses it to trick others or for minor things like feeling satiated after eating a meal. Even if Ranma turns literally into a female, something trannies will never achieve, the character being good representation for their ilk is an unrealistic troon fantasy. I agree with that at least but only because Ranma wants to get rid of the curse and not because he (accidentally) became something they will never be.
>>291531211Akane's blushing here is too cute.
>>291548790Very early shonen was mostly written partially for boys that thought girls had cooties.
>>291535341This looks like something I might be interested in working on.
>>291550055It's kinda interesting how action series from this era didn't really have the token girls you get in modern shonen.
>>29155123680s men needed no bitches.
>>291551236They didn't have much fanservice either.
>>291552922When they had girls, they mostly had them for fanservice though.
>>291532060They're going to censor the shit out of 27, aren't they?
>>291553764What's there to censor?
>>291553868Happosai being Happosai.
>>291553868It's a pretty rapey chapter.
>>291553917>>291554112Yeah, I'm surprised they're adapting this one and not the fire bomb one that doesn't have too much perving.
>>291553764I'm curious to see how they will try to push their LGBTQ agenda. They'd absolutely want to change this
>>291555205But they can't because of plot points like this. Straight relationships won.
>>291555205>>291555235It's stuff like this that makes you wonder why they even decided to remake Ranma in the first place.
>>291531420>>291405466Hey, anon guessed right
>>291531420I would guess that they felt the word 賞品 was objectionable since 品 has connotations of an inanimate object or product
>>291555705It's amazing that it's this easy to guess exactly what fags will complain about.
>>291532001A degenerate german, who would have thunk it?
So the changed lines are:>>291530883Manga: >Cologne: I just thought the fight would be better if there were a prize at stake.>Akane: Prize?!Remake:>Cologne: I just thought the fight would be better if there were a reward at stake.>Akane: Reward?!>Cologne: The one who wins this fight will be able to date Akane Tendo. If Ryoga wins, he can be your boyfriend, and my son-in-law can marry Shampoo.>Akane: Don't use me for your own goals! Ranma. You too, Ryoga-kun, say something.>>291531211Manga:>Ranma: Hey, what's with the attitude?>Akane: You forget? I happen to be the prize of this fight.Remake:>Ranma: Hey, what's with the attitude?>Akane: You forget? I somehow ended up being the one at stake in this match.
>>291557328Was the word "prize" really that unacceptable?
>>291557616It's "objectifying".
>>291557616Zoomers are mentally ill, please understand.
>>291558142They really did ruin the internet.
>>291557616>>291557791See >>291555709

>>291559481Yeah, she had no idea it was a harmless move

>>291566135They look more like wasps.
>>291563979My kind of fat.
>>291548830>>291548830>Rumiko has brushed off details about Ranma-chan's biology.Only in regards to pregnancy, and only because it turns what’s supposed to be a light-hearted comedy gag manga into horror tier if you stop and think about it for a minute that female Ranma getting pregnant means that everytime she turns back into a boy she’s experiencing an abortion.>You can inject all the allegories that you wantCan you explain then why all the characters transformations seem to oh so perfectly fit their personalities?>The magic spring curse is simply something undesirable by the vast majority of the cast.Because in typical psychoanalysis psychology you hate what you are. The cursed characters transformations represents parts of themselves that they’d rather suppress or are ashamed of. C’mon now, this stuff is basic Freud 101.
>>291563876whorish body
>>291568972Perfect fit for Ranma then.
>>291569409Literally *drumroll*
>>291531467One thing I've noticed is that both of the anime adaptations try to present the chestnuts technique as an actual named martial arts move, while in the manga it's just a form of training Ranma went through to increase the speed of his punches. Which makes a lot more sense.
>>291570723Yeah, it's weird. The OG anime had the conclusion to the first Mousse battle be Ranma "remembering" he could use this "move" too.
>>291570723It's so they can list it as a move in guidebooks and video games.
>>291570723>>291571215Is the actual move name itself used again in the manga?
>>291571596I don't think it is.
How long until Tsubasa?
>>291571907All we know is that it's not one of the first 6 episodes.

>>291571907Canceled for being transphobic, please understand.
>>291571596No, it's really just an anime thing.
>>291563876How hard would ranmas cock get if he found akane in his bed like that
>>291530906>>291531871Didn't realize Yaiba started this early. When did Conan start again?
>>291575017January 1994.
>>291573804It'll definitely be edited because of that.
>>291574942He'd just get embarrassed and refuse to look.
>>291557328>>291557616I'm really worried about the Tsubasa arc now.
>>291576738At the very least they can’t walk back from giving Akane that insanely OOC anime original pro-LGBT line last season. She’s gonna look like an inconsistent schizo if one minute she’s claiming that gender doesn’t matter and love is love and then the next trying to conversion therapy Tsubasa out of being a lesbian.
>>291576843Which line was that?
>>291557328What did the old anime have here?
>>291557328Interestingly, the remake seems to have referenced the old anime script when doing this scene. In the old anime, that first scene doesn't have the manga dialogue at all, but instead replaces it with:>Cologne: Suman no, sukoshi no shinbou ja. Yoi ka futaridomo. Kono shoubu ni katta mono ga Tendou Akane to kousai dekiru. Sunawachi Ryouga ga kateba Tendou Akane to kousai shi, mukodono wa Shampoo to kekkon suru koto ni naru. Banji kaiketsu medetashi medetashi to iu wake ja.>Akane: Ano ne, obaasan...Then as mentioned, the remake includes but censors the manga lines, but also adds more to it, clearly based on the old anime line: >Cologne: Houbi ga atta hou ga hariai ga deru to omotte na.>Akane: HOUBI?!>Cologne: Kono shoubu katta hou ga Tendou Akane to kousai dekiru. Ryouga ga kateba Tendou Akane to kousai shi, mukodono wa Shampoo to kekkon dekiru to iu wake ja. Ka ka ka ka ka!>Akane: Sonna katte na koto iwarete mo komarimasu!For the second line, it does keep the "shouhin/prize" word, but changes the line slightly from the manga line, and the new line in the remake seems to take from this changed anime line.Manga:>Akane: Kateru noo?>Ranma: ...nan da you, sono iikata.>Akane: Wasurenaide yo, atashi ga shouhin na n dakara.OG anime:>Akane: Ranma... kateru no?>Ranma: Naanii?!>Akane: Wasurenaide yo ne ichiou atashi ga shouhin tte kotonnatchatte ru n dakaraRemake:>Akane: Kateru noo?>Ranma: ...nan da you, sono iikata.>Akane: Wasurenaide yo ichiou kono shoubu atashi ga kakatte ru koto ni natchatte ru n dakara.
>>291577499Meant to quote >>291576945 as well
>>291577499Huh, that's interesting.
So is there any real reason to watch the remake over the original?
>>291578291No.But it's fun to compare the two
>>291557328>>291577499Including those additional lines in that first scene feels so pointless.
>>291571338They kinda do this with Bakusai Tenketsu too.
>>291533631Oh shit.
It's nice that we're getting more classic Sunday stuff translated.
>>291530728...so is this supposed to be a Fist of the North Star parody?
>>291580099Yeah. Ryoga even does the atatatata here >>291530802(Viz fucks up the translation, he goes "Dadadadada" in nip)
>>291580356At least the anime included that.
>>291532060> And I admit I'm surprised that the cookie arc will have two episodes, but it's four chaptersSo was the Romeo and Juliet arc, and that just got one episode.
>>291581200The cookie arc was only one episode in the original anime too.
>>291581639Yeah, the original anime rarely gave an arc more than one episode if not absolutely necessary.
>>291581200The delivery race too.
>>291532060Huh, we're skipping quite a bit ahead next week. Why not just go in order?
Next week Shampoo wins.
>>291583527She wins Happosai's love <3
>>291583634Technically yes, and she's smart enough to use it to her advantage.
>>291583997Best girl is almost smartest girl.
>>291583997If she was smarter she would have gotten with him since she would realize that they are looks matched and morality matched.>>291584548She is a dumb bitch who can't speak Japanese properly unlike the other Chinese character.
>>291584972She's self taught and had to learn the entire language in like a month.
>>291585080More like she's the village retard if even Mousse can attain fluency.
>>291585303Mousse is just super smart, that's why he has glasses.
>>291584972She actually speaks a real world form of pidgin Japanese.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyowa-go#Examples_of_Japanese-based_Kyowa-go
>>291585777Huh, that's cool. Didn't know that.
>>291585321If he was smart, he'd realize he has the wrong glasses.
>>291586531But they help him see...
>>291385852 >>291530484>>291530906By the way, these three issues were all part of the special summer vacation premiere of three new series - Makoto-chan in issue 37, Tearful Soldier in issue 38 and Yaiba in issue 39.Makoto-chan was technically not a new series, but the revival of an old one that had ended in 1981, and was now starting back up after a couple one-shots earlier this year.
>>291578291>So is there any real reason to watch the remake over the original?No, just read the manga. The remake is censored slop and took the ecchi out of an ecchi series.
>>291588083It was never an ecchi series, degenerate
>>291588118That's not what the first chapter indicates.
>>291588118>It was never an ecchi seriesWhen Ranma was first brought to America in the 90’s the manga was given the rating of 16+ when most manga was only 13+. They also never dared to air the anime on TV, even in a censored form, even though Ranma was part of the millennial wave anime boom alongside series such as Sailor Moon, Pokémon, DBZ, and CCS. Even fucking Tenchi Muyu another harem anime eventually aired on Toonami, albeit in a censored form, but if they were willing to air Tenchi but wouldn’t even touch Ranma what does that tell you? Obviously that Ranma was too downright raunchy to even try and censor it.
>>291588360>caring what Purityrannical America thinksStill not ecchi
>>291588406Stop trying to rewrite history zoom-zoom, I was there, Ranma was always considered an ecchi series and was actually one of the first purveyors of the entire ecchi genre. I remember trying to sneak in the manga volumes when I was around like 9-10 because my mom absolutely forbid me to read or watch Ranma until I was at least 13 because all the nudity and underwear obsessed Happosai read to her as softcore porn.>Purityrannical AmericaCan’t blame it on typical burger puritinism when Toonami was even willing to air fucking Tenchi Muyo but wouldn’t touch Ranma. Why would they be willing to air Tenchi, another harem anime that is the complete opposite of American Puritanical values yet even a censored version of Ranma was a step too far? C’mon put your thinking cap on, I know you can do it lil zoomie!
>>291588487Never published as an ecchi, never classified as one in rental stores, so not an ecchi. You deceived yourself.
>>291588712>never classified as one in rental storesThe 16+ rating when nearly all other manga would get 13+ is the informal ecchi classification retard.>You deceived yourself.Can you explain why no American Broadcast Network would touch Ranma when even fellow harem anime Tenchi Muyo eventually aired on Toonami?
>>291588793>informalWhich means made up. Not a true classification, not an ecchi, didn't even need ID for it.>Can you explain why no American Broadcast Network would touch RanmaViz didn't push for it at the time Sailor Moon, DBZ, et al were being licensed to the newborn Toonami for broadcast. There's no conspiracy here.
>>291588914>Viz didn't push for it at the time Sailor Moon, DBZ, et al were being licensed to the newborn Toonami for broadcast. There's no conspiracy here.So why was Tenchi Muyo pushed to air despite being relatively more niche than Ranma?
>>291588914>didn't even need ID for it.No ecchi requires an ID check, it’s not LITERAL porn. All ecchi means is that fanservice is taken up a notch, but there’s still no actual sex shown, which is what requires an ID.
>>291578291The animation gets better instead of worse.No plowing through 20 minutes of filler for every 10 minutes of actual adaptation.
>>291588938Pioneer Entertainment didn't have Shogakukan to answer to for distro rights, they had direct negotiation authority until they sold it over to Funimation.
>>291576174What's "transphobic" about the arc? Akane and Ranma both assume Tsubasa is a cisgender (gay) girl.
>>291584972>they are looks matched ???
>>291554112I don't remember that one, but if they wanted to censor rapeyness they'd have cut out the cookie arc.
>>291541947What did he do?
>>291589506Made like a black father and walked out on his kids “to get some milk.” Also blatantly groomed Rin despite Rumiko confirming he was supposed to serve as her foster father.
>>291576843Are you memeing, or did you stop watching at that line? Honest question.
>>291588487No offense to your mom, anon, but ignorants believing something doesn't make it true.That's like saying Ranma is a transphobic pedophilic series because tiktokers and blueskyers consider it to be one (I assume) and forbid each other to read it.
>>291590225>Ranma is a transphobic pedophilic seriesThat's true thoughbeit.
>>291590248Shush, plenty of other shittier threads for that kind of shitposting.
>>291590225>(I assume) You assumed wrong, all the wokies love and adore Ranma and consider it good trans representation and all the Ranma fans I see on Twitter have pronouns in their bio.>>291590248>Ranma>transphobicIf Ranma were truly transphobic Rumiko would’ve written it like J.K. Rowling wrote her new anti-trans book series, with none of the troons, even the curse-afflicted ones being able to pass and Ranma being more like Ataru as a protagonist and using his troon curse opportunistically to perv on and assault women.
>>291590325>shitpostingIt sexualizes minors. How is it not pedophilic?
>>291530461That's a good cover
>>291590366>using his troon curse opportunistically to perv on and assault women.No instead he uses it to trick and “trap” straight men instead, which is another classic transphobic trope that’s responsible for trannies disproportionate murder rates.
>>291588938>>291589265The reason why Tenchi was allowed to air in a censored form but not Ranma was because Tenchi wasn’t an inherently queer series the same way Ranma is/was. Remember this was back in the 90’s and early 00’s, a time when the Moral Majority Christian Evangelicals ruled the political landscape of the country, even minor LGBT elements in kids anime such as Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura was being actively censored out before they were allowed to air on TV. How on earth were localizers gonna be able to censor Ranma when the tranny coded gender bending gimmick was the whole point of the show?It’s the same reason why the final season of Sailor Moon, Sailor Stars was also left in Japan and never got a proper dub till the 2010s. That season was also centered around a magically switching gender-bending gimmick, and switching between the genders is just harder to censor all around compared to other forms of LGBT content or even just pervy content like in Tenchi.
>>291590927>Cardcaptor Sakura was being actively censoredBut Syaoran was left in? Talk about missing the forest for the trees.
>>291591022>But Syaoran was left in? Talk about missing the forest for the trees.His gay crush on Yukito was completely censored though, what’s wrong with leaving Syaoran in (they even tried to frame him as the main character in the Kids WB version) so long as you censor his bisexuality? What’s inherently inappropriate about his character?
>>291591062
>>291591166How is Syaoran pedobait exactly? By that logic the entire series is pedobait because all the main characters are 10 year old kids.
>>291591324Welcome to anime, you must be new.
>>291547827If we assume the Jusenkyo curse is meant to serve as an allegory for a character’s personality, has /a/ or the Ranma fandom in general ever done games where you guess which curse the uncursed characters in the series would gain if they ever fell into any of the Jusenkyo springs? Here are my theories:>Akane: Curse of Drowned Boy, to symbolize how manly she is and also to serve as the inverse of Ranma>Ukyo: Also Curse of Drowned Boy>Kuno: Curse of Drowned Lion (cause lions are known for having harems) or Curse of Drowned Donkey (because he’s always making an ass out of himself), or even Curse of Drowned Monkey (Because he’s literally nicknamed “The Iron Butt Monkey”)>Kodachi: Like Mousse, Curse of Drowned Duck, cause she’s also quite crazy, but maybe instead of an actual duck she’d turn into the female variant of a swan to also represent her agile gymnastic abilities?>Happosai: Like Ryoga Curse of Drowned Pig , because he’s a perverted lech.>Nabiki: Curse of Drowned Jew
