What happens during sex with girl-type Ranma while in transition to boy-type Ranma?
>>143167356

through dick, unity
I love that Ranma keeps gaining fans
It was my first anime as a kid (not counting things like Voltron that were actually broadcast in the US)
To watch it I had to mail order VHS tapes that cost ~$30 for 3ep. I loved it whenever my parents would send me to San Francisco to visit family and I could buy bootlegs from sketchy little Asian stores.
God I feel old

god, those fucking VHSes. Early licensed anime was such a racket. I can still hear Venus Terzo going "only 29.99, and that's for TWO episodes!!!" as if $15 per 25 minutes was an amazing deal.
I genuinely miss that dub cast, though, even if they were mostly 90s-tier shit.
>mfw I suddenly remember I wrote a self-insert Ranma 1/2 fanfic as a high school senior because I wanted to be able to switch genders at will
>mfw I can't remember my login info to delete the fucking thing
>>143175703
Ha. And here I am complaining that each season on DVD (and up) are $50-$70. I feel like I want to into Hulu for dub streaming but apparently animefreak stepped up their game?
>>143175336
In the early days of my web surfing days it was so very rare to find people who thought this.
>>143175969
Wouldn't Ukyo shipping have been the norm in fanfiction? That's like the easiest vanilla no-skill pairing possible. (Also the best one.)
>>143176070
I was around back in the day, but it was 20 years ago so this is IIRC. Akane shipping was the majority faction, Ukyo shippers were a vocal minority. One of the major Ukyo shippers wrote a "darkfic" where Ranma and Akane married, Ranma started going to a support group for battered spouses, and eventually both he and Ukyo were murdered by Akane.
I think Shampoo and Kodachi shipping was mostly confined to AU-ish fics that drastically altered character personalities.
>>143176070
Ukyo got shipped pretty heavily with Ryoga. American fans liked to pretend Akari and Tsubasa didn't exist. That included me, honestly, because she and Ryoga had genuine chemistry whenever they schemed together.
>>143176409
>American fans liked to pretend Akari and Tsubasa didn't exist
Wasn't that mainly because VIZ took so long to bring over the later seasons/manga chapters?
>>143176469
Not sure, I was just getting into the fandom at the time (I nearly got kicked off the Yahoo! Ranma Mailing List for asking questions they'd already been arguing about for years).
>>143176400
>Akane shipping was the majority faction
Odd, I thought most female fans hated her.
Come to think of it, does the manga ending imply she and Ranma do eventually get married? Some anon claimed that was a mistranslation...
>>143176400
That darkfic's concept alone sounds gold. But that's very educational. I would have figured the world would have been against Akane back then, but tsunderes must have been 'in' way before they started multiplying from her and Narusegawa.
>>143176548
>Come to think of it, does the manga ending imply she and Ranma do eventually get married? Some anon claimed that was a mistranslation...
It's a "and adventures continued" copout, but it's very clear they'll end up together anyway.
It'd just be boring if they actually married.
>>143176710
>It's a "and adventures continued" copout, but it's very clear they'll end up together anyway.
Yeah, pretty much, which I guess was appropriate.
Has she ever done a satisfying ending, other than Maison Ikkoku?
>>143176548
Anti-Akane fans were like anti-Trump Republicans. There were a lot of them, but they were hopelessly divided between alternate candidates.
>>143174485
Fuck Shampoo
Marry Akane
Let Ukyo kill herself she she realizes she'll die alone.
>>143176884
In short stories.
And technically Inuyasha.
It was satisfying.Because it finally ended.
>>143176400
I will never forgive Zen for his character assassinating peice of hackwork creating so many awful fanfic tropes.
why is ranma-chan so sexual?
>>143176469
Yup.
The complete ignorance of the latter half of the manga did a lot of odd things to the western fandom. Heck, I'd argue that Ukyo gets the largest effect from this, as she does worse and worse things as the series goes on that a lot of her waifufags were just ignorant of.

She was right there with Shampoo in an attempt to just kill Nabiki in the arc when Nabiki takes the engagement.
She did join Shampoo and Kodachi in trying to steal the "engagement ring" from Akane, and ended up destroying the Saotome home.
And, of course, helped bomb the wedding.
>Two thousand and fucking sixteen
>Musk dynasty arc still not animated.
>>143178113
No kidding, right? Best arc in the series, because none of the skanks tagged along to fuck up the insanely good bro-time between Ranma, Ryoga, and Mousse.
I forgot, does a drop of water is enough for transition?
Can Ramna be a dick girl?
>>143177890
holy shit, where?
>>143178113
It's high time for a Ranma reboot, but instead we'll get a Boku Girl anime.
>>143178220
No, it takes at least the volume required to cover a portion of the body approximately the area of a human face.
>>143178382
This is bad information.
No chance for dick girl Ranma, yes?
>>143178446
Nope. The transformation, once initiated, goes all the way to completion.
>>143178446
Only in doujinshi. You're better off fantasizing about them keeping a kettle of hot water and a bucket of cold water next to the bed for swapping back and forth.in one fic on Sakura Lemon Ranma kept herself on edge for hours before finally switching back to male form to finish. It hit the ceiling.
>>143178198
Nah, the Ryugenzawa arc is the best arc in the series.
>>143178289
I don't trust the modern anime industry with a Ranma reboot.
Ranma would be made Generic Harem MC and Akane would be made Generic Tsundere. All the other girls would stop being hilarious antagonists and just be moeblobs.
Ryoga, Kuno, and Mousse would not exist.
>>143178690
Akane was in it, that automatically disqualifies it from being the best arc.
>>143179158
Oh please.
Akane being in it and it bringing meaningful development on Ranma and Akane's relationship is part of the reason *why* it's the best arc.
>>143179207
>meaningful development
That was never brought up again except to showcase how much more of a shit Akane gave about Shinnosuke than she ever gave for Ranma.
>>143179367
>That was never brought up again
Except that if you read the manga continuously you see that their relationship notably changes throughout the manga, with the Ryugenzawa arc being a major kick in the pants.
> how much more of a shit Akane gave about Shinnosuke than she ever gave for Ranma.
This is a pile of BS and you know it
>>143179446
Just stop before you embarrass yourself, Akanefag, she literally gets less development throughout the series than even Ranma. She's a megabitch from the beginning and remains a megabitch throughout, to the point where she even holds Ranma hostage to a wedding he didn't even agree to just to be spiteful. Ryugenzawa did nothing for their relationship, all it did was show the audience what Akane would be like if she weren't a man-hating shrew when it came to Ranma. We caught the glimpse, and then never saw it again.

False.

This is also a thing that didn't happen.
>she weren't a man-hating shrew when it came to Ranma.

Holy shit, that's some hardcore nostalgia right there.
Also I'm sort of amused that people call Ranma "she."
>>143179756

>>143178580Was that the one where ranma first starts experimenting with female masterbation and catches Nabiki masterbating one night?
>>143179782
It's still viewable on the Wayback Machine! Or at least it was until recently.
>Also I'm sort of amused that people call Ranma "she."
Eh, she's a she when she's got she-parts.
>>143179972
Somewhere on Sakura Lemon. Best one there is still Don't Call me Kawiikune, though, even if it ends with an anticlimax.
>>143180146
There needs to be more of Akane sexually dominating Ranma.
>>143181392
Damn right. Only other one I can remember is "I'll Be Your Fiancee," and that's pretty much completely out-of-character.
>>143181496
I remember that.
It was definitely odd. Basicaly the author took the fanfic trope that Akane's a perpetually angry paranoid anti-pervert basher, and then inverted it.
>>143181651
Which was really entertaining, you gotta admit.
But yeah, playing off Akane's angry desire to be in control and Ranma's fragile ego makes for a way better story.
>>143182182
>Which was really entertaining, you gotta admit.
Oh yeah the story was hilarious, if completely out of character for Akane.
But, "Making one character OOC in X Way, how does the rest of the cast react" is a Thing in a lot of fanfics.
>>143183263
I find myself wanting to get back into fanfiction, if only because it's the only form of story I can consistently finish. Maybe I should brush up on Ranma, write a ridiculously explicit porn series or something. Dominant Akane, and every pairing imaginable, including the best of all, Ranma-kunand Ryoga.
>>143174485

>>143163794
>edition
I think that the Ranma-type take on gender bender in media is the most frustrating shit ever conceived by man, only followed by the always shit "WaCKy MiSundERsTANdiNGs!!" trope.
It pretty much puts an iron seal on the story, it ensures that no character will ever evolve in any way, that no action will have consequence, that no theme will ever be touched.
And I don't even mean it in a "the status quo must be preserved at episode end" kind of way. Even inside the same episode, even in those 20 minutes, you just know, nothing will have any consequence, nothing that will last even for a single minute.
Even shitty episodic shows have arcs that span 20 minutes, but Ranma doesn't. Nothing has any effect, the throwaway joke is so bland and uninspired in all of its iterations, that it would make absolutely no difference if the joke was that Ranma only changed hair color instead of gender.
Fuck I'm so mad.
Even To Love Ru does Gender Bender better than a series completely about it.
Can we talk about the superior Ranma?
>>143186176
Uh... what?
>>143186198
Takahashi Rumiko's entire career is composed of works so bland that make that average modern SoL look as deep as Evangelion looks to a secondary. Talking about which one of her works is superior is like arguing about which glass of tap water tastes better.
>>143178289
>>143178741
Is it weird that if they ever did bring back Ranma 1/2, I want them to give Akane the opposite curse of Ranma? Would open up some new potential humor.
>>143176400
>I think Shampoo and Kodachi shipping was mostly confined to AU-ish fics that drastically altered character personalities.
As a Kodachifag, the last point really kills it for me. I like the idea of her having a softer nonpsychotic attitude, but I believe that things must be properly developed and properly led up to in order for it to work nicely. But almost every fanfic author would all of a sudden have Kodachi acting in a certain way, or there'd be a REALLY simple trigger that changes her, to accommodate for the ship and she'd seem like a completely different character.
It's supposed to be hard to make something like that happen and make sense, because that's what'll make it more honest. I don't think Kodachi would get rid of her psychotic streak so easily, and I'm not ready to believe in a simple childhood memory being a catalyst that can lead up to a simple solution to make her sane. It's really bad, deus-ex-machina level writing.
>>143184569
It does. Nostalgiafagging has its benefits, there's far less shitposting in threads about Ranma and Lupin and Gunsmith Cats and classic shit like that.
Except for when you get dicks like this guy
>>143186176
>>143186306
stirring up trouble.
>>143186198
Maison Ikkoku is probably her best work. Not the most creative or off the wall, but the most character development (for Godai and Kyoko, anyway) and a deeply satisfying ending. I just finished collecting the flipped/sized-down rerelease (had to buy a bunch of them used on eBay, so there's library stickers and shit, but new from that series costs like $60 now), planning on rereading it soon.
Also, Akemi best slutfu.

Yep.
Akbar is worst girl and anyone who likes her should kill themselves
>>143188687
Who is Akbar?
>>143188687
Akane*
>>143188824
Ranma is one of the few manga to do harem right in my opinion because it's pure comedy, there's no stupid drama.
And Ramna is proactive, not in going after the girls, he barely cares about them, he just wants to prove he's awesome and fulfill his childish pride.
>>143188687
She and Ranma deserve each other. Plus, it's not like any of the other ladies are any more reasonable. Shampoo straight up tries to murder people all the time, Kodachi's a violent lunatic, Ukyo's chill but can be a cruel schemer when she wants to be...really the entire cast's all different flavors of asshole. But they're loveable assholes.
I feel really bad for Akane, so maybe that's one reason I like her. Strongest fighter in her dojo, upstaged by an unwanted fiancee who constantly insults her.
>>143188687
She's far from best girl but she's obviously the best girl for ranma.
>>143163794

There's SOME drama too.
But yeah. "Pure comedy" is what defines it best. It's why I'm enjoying Kyoukai no Rinne so much. It really feels like Takahashi's old stuff.
For current tastes it might be a bit bland. But the gags get me like most current "comedy" shows never do.
>>143188117
I could go for something like that. Wouldn't mind if more had been done with Akane. Not saying she should be on Ranma, Ryouga and Mousse's level, but it would be better if she could at least compete with weaker fighters like Shampoo and Ukyo.
>>143190729
Agreed. Part of Akane's bitchiness rightfully comes from the inferiority complex instilled in her by Ranma being effortlessly better than her and every other fighter she meets being either a match or an almost-match for Ranma. Being able to hold her own or be something other than a damsel would probably round out her character a little.
>>143190949
>effortlessly
But Ranma trains hard, despite what it looks like. It's not "effortlessly" unless you're one of those fat fuck facebook users jealous of /fit/ people with stupid "fat-positive" or whatever they call that philosophy of theirs.
>>143188117
That wouldn't work because Akane is already a tomboy. That's really the basic, initial joke of the series. Both of them are "girls that act like men".
It's the source of their constant bickering.
>>143191275
I should've said SEEMINGLY effortlessly.
I am a fat fuck, because I have a drinking problem, but that's immaterial.
Akane trains her ass off too. One of the first times we see her she's doing kata and shattering cinder blocks. And no matter how hard she trains she's nowhere near as skilled as Ranma, this dude just comes in out of nowhere and dances circles around her. It's the difference between a hardworking swimmer and a hardworking Michael Phelps. She's Yamcha, he's Goku, no matter how hard she tries. And hey, everyone who shows up after him is stronger than her too. I'd just like to see her able to kick a little more ass, since she's literally fighting off an entire high school in the first volume.
>>143191399
Not true, there have been plenty of cases where Akane either fought off or stalemated someone.
>>143191399
Ranma spent most of his life ONLY practicing martial arts. Akane has something called a social life and school, and it's hard to tell whether she actually trained from a really young age. Ranma treated nearly everything as a martial arts experiment either by interest or by persuasion from his dad. So the reason he can easily dance circles around Akane is because it's what has taken up most of his life. He doesn't even seem to have much, if any, education. I can't imagine Akane even putting in as much work.
>>143191638
Ranma did go to all-boys school, at least middle school level. So it's not like he's completely uneducated, just not highschool average level.
>>143190949
An inferiority complex on her part does contribute to things. If she just had some decent training, she could probably get better.
>>143191275
I'll agree, Ranma has and does train hard, but he is also demonstrated to be extremely talented too. So that makes things seem effortless for him.
On the whole, in addition to whats already been said, I'd say a new Ranma 1/2 series would work if it just found a good balance between one-off humor chapters/episodes and longer story arcs.
>>143191387
Honestly, I think its more that the joke is that while Ranma calls her a tomboy, shes not really that tomboyish. She almost always wears dresses, and she was shown to be rather feminine in many ways. Plus, despite Ranma being over all masculine, he had more than a few "girly moments" of his own, and I don't mean how whenever he tried to deceive Ryouga that his first methods would usually be to go for the Bugs Bunny playbook and pretend to be a girl.
The source of their bickering is really that she has a short temper and Ranma usually intentionally pushes her buttons. There were more than a few times where her reactions towards him were not unwarranted. And how both of them are extremely tsundere.
Also, while I won't deny that Akari is bland and boring, be it anime or manga, I'd actually enjoy if Konatsu got more screen time. I just always found him amusing.
>>143191744
I forgot about his time with Ryoga. But I can imagine he had to move around a lot thanks to his dad running away from many things, and that's why he ended up inadvertantly collecting some romance baggage along the way.
Anyway, he probably got into fights or at least tested his martial arts abilities on school grounds, which is part of why he always got the prize food over Ryoga.
>>143191399
>>143191638
Another difference is that they both trained a lot, but the quality of their respective training was different. Akane was only ever training in normal ways. She was very strong by regular standards.
But Ranma had been trained in extreme ways from an early age. Despite how he often seemed, Genma still trained Ranma to the limit and beyond for most of his life. And Genma is an idiot, so he did stupid stuff that most would not think to try. And that was before Cologne came into the picture and pushed him even further.
Whatever. Still the best couple.
>>143191938
A normal person would have quit or gone insane.
>>143192121
The only normal person in the Ranma cast is Kasumi.
>>143192121
>or gone insane.
I wonder how this kind of training curriculum would have affected Kodachi, then.
>>143188687
That's some weird way to spellKodachi

Only school. She didn't have a social life thanks to Kuno.

>loses to Shampoo
>loses to Dojo Destroyer
>loses to Kodachi
>loses to Mikado and Azusa
>loses to Saffron's bird chick
The series is rife with people Akane loses to. The only asses she ever kicks are boys from Furinkan and Kuno, none of whom are on her level, and Ranma, who refuses to actually fight her back. Once you reach her level, she jobs to the entire cast and crew, the sound guy, the gaffer, the key grip, the orchestra, Rumiko's four lesbian assistants, the caterer, and the FedEx guy who makes her sign for shit. The second the Saotomes enter her life, she's reduced to being nothing so profoundly they made an original OAV about how badly she actually sucks once the world outside Daddy's dojo comes knocking.
>>143177117
I didn't think it was possible to have this shit taste
>>143193293
>>loses to Kodachi
Never fought.
>>loses to Mikado and Azusa
No she didn't. Ryouga just goofed. When he tried to switch with Ranma to fight alongside her, he threw her out instead.
She never lost that fight, and we'll never know how that would have turned out.
Though on the Dojo Destroyer, well she didn't lose that but she certainly wasn't winning. Probably did a bit better in the anime version.

She was fighting with broken bones.

Truth. I've a firm beliief that anyone that ships otherwise started with the anime, that flanderized her a lot, instead of the manga, and anyone that hates Akane got contaminated from the stupid fanfics that destroyed her character.

Oh shit Ranma thread. FIrst time watching it and surprised at how fun it is. Manage to blaze through 26 eps in a few days.Shampoo a best. Akane is okay. Annoying but still have some genuine cute moment.Will there be anymore addition to the harem?
So would Akane kill Ryoga if she ever found out he was P-chan?
>>143194717
>Will there be anymore addition to the harem?
this shit always freaked me out
>>143194792
According to Takahashi, Akane has some brain dameged so maybe no find out that though...
>>143195198
They have a old doujin with him
>>143192870
What, even with other girls? Pretty sure social life doesn't exclusively mean "with only the opposite sex" and I see her talk amongst her friends plenty.
>>143194479
>Now Kodachi the rapist IS the worst girl. Anyone that likes her has my pity.
You can take your pity back. There are people who like Junko Enoshima you can waste your sorry excuse for pity on, among other females with worse psychopathic behaviors.
Will Nabiki and Kasumi be in his hare as well?
>>143193293
>loses to Kodachi
Nope.
Kodachi often attacks Akane and Akane effortlessly fights her off.
I remember watching a special a few years ago, this needs a remake a reboot or something its a really well made harem romcom.
>>143196058
They're not.
Ranma doesn't actually have magical girl attracting powers.
The only girl interested in him without any arrangement is Kodachi
He attracts more men then women
>>143196058
>>143196325
Nabiki definitely isn't.
Reminder that when Akane temporarily switched the engagement to her, Nabiki's first thought was to rent him off.
>>143196325
Can't blame him though. Female Ranma is 100% fuckable
It's too bad Kodachi is ugly and psychotic, I wish there was a character in the series that had an interest in her romantically;_;
I'm hetero for Ryoga.

She's a hotty hot hotty, faggot.

>>143197520
Shampoo and Ukyo aren't allowed to fight well either. They're never once a serious threat to Ranma. Even when Shampoo was doing her best to murder him he treats it as an annoyance. When Ukyo fights Ranna he holds back asking why she's so pissed at him until he decides to stop holding back and beats her in seconds.
The only female "antagonist" that is ever really dangerous to Ranma is Rouge, because of her curse
Cologne is an Old Master. Not a girl in Ranma's peergroup
>>143198073
circlejerks are usually pretty comfy
>>143196511
It's weird when you think about it. Takahashi tried to make an effort to pair off the characters, yet completely forgot about kodachi.
>>143198513
Kodachi is, frighteningly enough, the most self aware of Ranma's unwanted sutiors. She knows Ranma doesn't like her, but is trying anyway. Her reaction to Ranma finally putting his foot down and getting with Akane seriously would probably be to laugh it off and find a new hottie to stalk.
Everyone hates Akari, for good reason, but how do people fel about Konatsu?
>>143199451
Unnecessary. He kind of existed to just create a counterpart for Ukyou, just like with Akari for Ryoga. Granted, there was a bit more to him than that chick, but not much.
I don't know why she didn't go with the fan favorite of pairing up Ryoga and Ukyou together. She even went to snub it in the tunnel of love story. I could understand if she had something more interesting to do with them, but that didn't really come into fruition.
the 2008 ranma ova serves as a cruel reminder that we'll never get an 8th season of ranma, with it's great storyline and new artstyle.
>>143198073
Threads about classic anime are generally comfy. There's just not much to shitpost about.
>>143200064

You have clearly not been involved with a ton of Ranma threads.
People shitpost on Akane all the time. I usually have my work cut out for me defending her,since she's mai waifu
>>143199779
I don't think RyogaXUkyo is even really a thing in Japan, honestly.
It's mostly something the western fanbase cooked up.
>>143200606
I remember reading that Takahashi was baffled by all the weird-ass questions and nerdfuckery supplied by American fans at her first convention stateside. She probably detests us. :(
>>143199779
>>143200606
You also have to take into account that during her prior work, Urusei Yatsura, she was forced to change her endgame plan of Shinobu winning to Lum. So, she might have been less inclined to change her plans again.
>>143174485
I'd kill Ukyo because I hate Okonmyaki. I'd feel bad about it though.

Ryoga and Ukyo are paired up a few times in the anime (although not really romantically) in later episodes, the 2nd movie and one OVA, which is from where the fandom comes up. It doesn't have much presence in Japan since manga has a much bigger circulation there.
>>143163794

It could have been great.

You might be about my age, maybe younger but I have almost the same experience. In the 80s I didn't know what I was watching was anime. In the 90s I discovered Ranma through a friend. There was a model/gaming store that sold tapes where I got the first 3 seasons.
From there history.

>>143217483
People rag on Akane for being a bitch queen but Ranma's just as much of a dick to her most of the time. For Chrissakes he brings her memories of him back by relentlessly insulting her.

Written by a woman.
Eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Shampoo SHF that just released to go with my girl Ranma SHF.
>>143218766
And boy Ranma out in August
>>143218808
And even waiting on Akane to get a release date.
And of course, really hope Ryouga, Ukyo and Mousse get figures. I wouldn't even mind if they ended up being exclusive as long as they get figures.
>>143218647
I fail to see how that's really meaningful?
You do realize that Tahakashi had editors and the like pushing her work towards certain points. She's been creatively overwritten before.
Heck, I'm almost positive that she was forced to dial down Akane fighting and have the fights focus on Ranma.
The original concept for the series was Ranma and Akane dealing with wacky martial arts themed events, developing as a couple. This would require both of them to fight.
You can see her concept being changed though, even pretty early on. I'm pretty convinced that during the Rhythmic Gymnastics Arc, Akane suddenly out of nowhere tripping and spraining her ankle being a forced change by the editors to have the Male lead being the one to do all major fights.
Because think about it from a dramatic perspective. If Akane had fought Kodachi, it would have been her fighting to preserve her relationship with Ranma. An important step forward in the couple's development. I'm pretty sure that's what she was going for in that arc before a sudden last minute change.
>>143212362
>no arc of Ryoga getting splashed by drowned girl curse, making his default human form female
>no Ranma and Ryoga arguing over who has the bigger boobs, who is cutest and who can attract more boys
H-how do you think would be that competition?
Also, I don't think that te cast would work gender swaped. Would his dad even be focused on martial arts if he was a woman? Would Ranma be a tomboy or a girl obssessed with acting feminine?
And people here would hate male Akane.
Thinking about it, if Ranma had always being a girl, he would probably be like Akane.
>>143218862
But Anon there's a figure of Ryoga right there in your picture.
>>143218931
>Would Ranma be a tomboy or a girl obssessed with acting feminine?
Part of Ranma's character is that he is good at feminine tasks, better at them then Akane is. Which is part of the conflict and comedy between the couple.
In a genderswaped Ranma 1/2. A born female Ranma would then be better at *male* tasks. (In the context of the series, fighting, protecting, etc.) then the genderswaped Akane. Leading to conflict and comedy.
>>143218935
Indeed there is. But I also want human Ryouga. After all, Ranma gets both forms and Shampoo comes with her cat form.
I ship Female-Ranma withMale-Akane.
>>143219267tfw no good cursed Akane fics, and any with potential are dead
>>143198080
Cologne could probably take Happosai easily, though.
>>143219985
Wasn't it stated in series that Happosai was stronger?
>>143212018
This. It's cuter when Ranma gets all flustered when he is still himself but in girl form. But when it's a quasi-feminine mindset that makes him all demure and lady-like, it just takes all the wind out of what makes Girl Ranma cuter.
>>143220046
I couldn't recall a moment where that was said. I imagine he's more obnoxious to fight than her, at least, given his utilities.
I've wondered what the general consensus is for the Kumon Ryu arc. I thought it was cool, but I never see anyone bring it up.
>>143220155
It's entertaining. Shows that Genma isn't quite as stupid as he looks. (Nearly there though). Has some neat fights.
It makes Nodoka look like a complete ditz though. But that's normal.
>>143218063
For some reason I'm Ranma-kun/Ryoga and both genders Ranma/Akane
In my mind they all sleep in one big bed

She's also pretty bad at getting characters to grow or change in any way.

>>143222683
>She's also pretty bad at getting characters to grow or change in any way.
I really wouldn't say this is the case. At least not for everyone.
Ranma, Akane, Ryoga, and Mousse do at least grow and change. *They're* notably different by the end of the manga then they were at the start.
>>143222963
Most of those changes come near the end of the manga, when they have the final two SERIOUS plots, regarding the Mink Dynasty and Saffron's crew.
>>143223037
Fair enough for Mousse. Ryoga's changes come once Akari is introduced.
But I'd say that by the half way point, the initial plot point of "Ranma and Akane in denial about their attraction and relationship" is quietly resolved.
I interpret their actions post Ryugenzawa as a couple, just not one that's broadcasting it. With Ranma really not feeling like dealing with the other girls, to Akane's annoyance.
I mean, come on. During the bust battle arc, Ranma thinks Akane dragged him into a closet to make out with him so he can make up to accidentally insulting her earlier.
God King Ryouga deserved more.
>>143223037
The Mink Dynasty fights were pretty nice.
It even helped show how the bonds had strengthened. At one point Ranma starts to freak because Ryoga is getting wrecked so hard that Ranma can feel him slowly dying, despite them being separated.
>>143223198
>2 Sluts
>2 Pure Maidens
>>143223173
I wouldn't say that they were a couple by then, but by then they had at least realized and acknowledged their own feelings. They weren't ready to admit them though. Because both of them are still massive tsundere. But it ties into how Ranma felt like shit for almost deceiving Akane like that to get rid of the battle dougi, and why Akane reacted as badly as she did when she found out the plan.
Plus, as with the reversal jewel showed, Ranma, while not interested in the other girls, as least subconsciously enjoys their attention since it feeds his already massive ego
>>143218903
