ranma is a fun read but i find it a bit repetative but with longer breaks between sessions its fine
>>84i always found it interesting that this took off in the states while urusei yatsura never really found a solid footing in the same way, which is sort of the opposite of what happened in japan. it was probably easier for western audiences to "get" ranma since it relied less heavily on japanese culture.
>>87>>89based kodachi enjoyer
>>87>>89>>90I just want kodachi to wrap her legs around me and force me to have her children
>>84Would have been kino if akane's hair grew back and some actual character development came along with it tbh.
>>94I actually like the short hair Akane more
>>97what a stylish bikini top
>>87dont mind if i take this with me home
>>101Kodachi and Kuno are the prettiest Ranma characters
>create perfect parody of shonen tropes up to that point
>even in parody, inadvertently surpass them all
>to the point where people are still shamelessly ripping it off decades later
rumiko was gahd-dang genius tbh
>>112What are you even talking about?
>>116Ryoga is better true
>>115why does she look like she just smoked a fat blunt
>>118because she did, ranma is a huge pothead.
>>84I'm currently watching this again after like 20 years or so when it aired where I live.
It's very weird that I remember a lot of things, but can't tell what the story is or how it developes further down the line.
But I guess thats normal considering I didn't watch it regularly and just saw a random episode here and there, did the same with Inuyasha and never really knew what was happening there either lol.
Well anyways, felt like I was teenager again for some time while watching it, that's some mad nostalgia not gonna lie, makes me sad this is one of the seemingly forgotten shows.
Bumping the Ranma thread!
What are you anon's favorite episode? Mine is nettou hen episode 89
because that's the first episode Ukyo is wearing boys uniform>>122Ucchan!
>>115>*jaw drops to floor, eyes pop out of sockets accompanied by trumpets, heart beats out of chest, awooga awooga sound effect, pulls chain on train whistle that has appeared next to head as steam blows out, slams fists on table, rattling any plates, bowls or silverware, whistles loudly, fireworks shoot from top of head, pants loudly as tongue hangs out of mouth, wipes comically large bead of sweat from forehead, clears throat, straightens tie, combs hair*Ahem, you look very lovely.
>>88Long haired? Yes. Short haired? No.
>>127THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!!!
>>127>male RanmaRidiculous. Akane is a lesbian, just like the person who created her.
I feel sorry for Ukyuo :_:
>>84Resurrecting this thread, after finishing UY earlier I’ve now decided to check this one out. Like the previous series I’ve known about this one for a very long time, much more so seeing the previews for this at the end of the Pokémon tapes I used to watch, it’s surprising I haven’t seen this earlier as well. I went through the first season relatively quickly but now that I’ve reached the nettohen episodes I’m taking my sweet time
>>512She could have definitely used the childhood friend angle to try and win Ranma, but again, we barely get any backstories of hers and Ranma, because you know..
>>199993 episodes in so far, really liking this in a different way from UY
>>2200Now I’m 146 episodes in and already finished the first movie, getting really close to the second one and ova series then it’s the specials and I’m all finished. Might as well check the manga afterwards even though I’m aware nothing really happens in the greater scale of things than new characters. Also is it me or has this board slowed down a lot?
>>2006I honestly don’t blame her since akane is more flesh out than shinobu, but goddamn I do feel bad for ukyo since she’s so good to ranma
>>2205>I honestly don’t blame her since akane is more flesh out than shinobuNot at all, imagine preferring Akane to Shinobu.
Shinobu is funny, actually has a decent reason to be upset, and is not costantly blaming Ataru even if Ataru is a gooner, and she also gets more dynamic with the other female characters unlike Kane.
Mogs her easily
>>2206Totally agree, I never did say that she wasn’t better, it’s probably because akane has main character status that I initially thought this was but yeah shinobu is more funny. Also for my honest thoughts now that I’m almost done, I like it and I think the characters are memorable (this anime was a pop cultural touchstone during the anime boom period back in the 90s after all) and megumi’s performance as ranma-chan is a highlight, however I’ve personally enjoyed UY more and I was expecting this anyway
Finished the television series, I enjoyed this but IMO I liked UY more, still regardless i liked how the cast was handled here being a bit more self contained so the various reoccurring side characters could show up more. Also I’ll now find those “I’ve finally found /a/“ posts much funnier in retrospect. Onto the ova series next
>>2209Finished the OVA’s incense rumic world special, and the hilarious hot song contest. That’s two rumic series finished as a whole. Also took a look at the last chapters btw, I know it’s not what people expected but it is fitting overall, plus it’s a foregone conclusion they get together anyway. Between this and UY, I’m surprised I hadn’t watched or read either until recently, seriously anyone new to both CHECK THEM OUT! YOU. WILL. LOVE. THEM!
>>2449it looks so soulless compared to the og, what a downgrade
>>2449Play this back at 1.5x speed
