Or just retarded? Let's say a male falls in love with a female who he doesn't know is actually a male crossdresser despite this fact being repeatedly explained to him. How do we classify Kuno sexually? Well okay, Ranma isn't a crossdresser since he physically changes into a she and isn't pretending which complicates things a lot. I mean, theoretically it would be fine to be attracted to her when he's a her. I guess it would only be gay if the attraction also includes boy Ranma. Clearly, Akane is lesbian or some adjacent type of perversion but we knew this already. Seriously, what else explains that haircut? Soun betrothing his daughter to a gender bender was a stroke of genius. But when it comes to Kuno I see the following possibilities:

A. He is gay but doesn't realize it. Probably faps to 女装 JAV tapes and justifies it with "they are boys not men actually and this is traditional samurai nanshoku and therefore not gay." Rivalry with male Ranma is just his psychically repressed gayness. Why else is Kuno always around him?

B. Not gay. He's only turned on by the red haired pig tailed girl and is just a simple village pervert.

C. He's just retarded and fools can't consent so what does it matter anyway? But if he managed to sleep with girl Ranma (PLEASE GOD NOOOO!) would Kuno have successfully r *ped himself?

I like to think sexual identities are made up insanity Western label-mania and Kuno is like a platypus that fucks with the taxonomy. Maybe we need to mint a new orientation of brain damaged kendoka who are specifically pervy for guys that turn into girls but only when they are girls?

Happy New Years! We will be running a Ranma 1/2 anime marathon (old & new series) starting at 12PM EST/5PM UTC at https://cytu.be/r/wapstreams
This is the thread for all your reactions.
See you soon!

This is a thread for the best songs featured in adaptations of Rumiko's works. Could be OPs, EDs, insert songs, BGM, or remixes of any of these.
I'll start with "Born to be Free" by Steffanie, featured in the intro to UY3.

So they announced a new Ranma anime being done by MAPPA and I didn't see anyone talking about it so I thought I'd make a thread.

Each thing personally affects reality.Example-eating salt and then being assalted.Find which thing and pick the categories,words,letters and symbols and get the answer to any question or not pick the words and the words that are remaining or farthest away are the answer.Find which thing and do magic.Thinking thoughts,snapping or pointing your fingers and a book with the information appears or the thing you were thinking of appears.The elements.Vitamins and minerals.Eating or drinking the same food again and again or a combination of things or not eating or drinking enough.Write a paragraph of information about subjects.Get the answer by connecting the words and other things,specifying,adding words to the words,correcting the errors,synonyms.

What was her problem? Will theyr fix her in the remake?

/lum/ will never die - for all of its faults, I appreciate that at least it was given a chance, and while it's probably going to be forgotten about in the next decade, it was nice to see something new in 30 years.

Very simple. We post fan art that we like. Please remember to link the original place the art was posted (generally twitter/pixiv), so we can keep up with these artists and support them. Note that this is open to all rumiko works, not just UY.
I really enjoy this piece based on episode 144 of the original anime. Maybe I'm a sucker for dutch angles but it fits the "dreamy" atmosphere.

Maison Ikkoku is better than Urusei Yatsura.

There, I said it.

This is a thread dedicated to the songs used in the original Urusei Yatsura anime.

The full UY OST is vast and can be listened to on the Internet Archive https://archive.org/details/urusei-yatsura-ost or seeded at https://nyaa.si/view/868533 .

The series is known for it's distinct soundtrack, full of a variety of genres reflective of the diverse Japanese popular music that later came to be known as "city pop", though not all of the tracks necessarily belong to that. Many of the most recognizable tracks from early in the series can be attributed to Shinsuke Kazato and Fumitaka Anzai. Anzai in particular is responsible for the synthesizer laden tracks that define the series, while Kazato's work tended to be more orchestral. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo_7emKXlHE .

Urusei Yatsura also used outside soundtracks, notably the Beatles inspired Digital Mystery Tour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gJMlXCGcBw and Masayoshi Takanaka's Finger Dancin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQhSfnx8dfg .
There is also heavy Latin influence in some of the show's most famous themes, like Lum's Love Song and Love Mobius. Later in the series, artists like Steffanie and Cindy brought new influences into the series, such as hard rock.
There's even a series of official UY remixes, including Digital Trip Urusei Yatsura https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mBsiVwUQPaU5LyZfKBwMPfkojCwXbg0Is and Urusei Yatsura Remix (1991) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLha3ysj0EbYFO6uZeDNdUZThqnC-TMcXb
