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:.

It is more impressive how the jap voice actors are reprising their roles 35 years later and yet still sound the same :bruh:

The weebs on /a/ claim they can tell the difference and complain that their age is noticeable :marseyshrug: but I can't tell the difference tbh. They all sound nice. The dub isn't bad either.
