The Ranma 1/2 :marseycatgirljanny:

remake is surprisingly enjoyable :marseypopcorntime:

I wasn't planning on checking it out initially because remakes are rarely done well :marseysigh: and to be sure this one is indeed not as good as the original. BUT it is not a bland remake like the Kenshin remake or Urusei Yatsura remake :marseyalbino: . It has a cutesy style and its pacing is arguably better than the original. It's more manga accurate which I think helps a lot with the pacing. It's also pretty refreshing to see an MC with some personality in a romcom for once.

Some negatives:

1. The nudity that Ranma 1/2 is famous for is neutered. We are given this weird Barbie doll :barbiecrying: anatomy which is just awkward.

2. The music is lacklustre :marseysigh: . It's not bad, just adequate.

3. Do not expect action choreography like this (although, some of other smaller fights are well animated)

4. While I do like the pacing overall, some moments should've been given more breathing room like they were in the original :marseyagree: .

Still overall, it's a pretty fun watch. I suggest you guys check it out :marseyagree: .

I'm enjoying it too, really like the new OP and it's call backs to the original.

I remember reading awhile ago that some law was passed in Tokyo that banned nipples on TV, and that's why basically every anime has that now. I have no idea if that's true so take it with a grain of salt :marseyshrug:
