remake is surprisingly enjoyable 
I wasn't planning on checking it out initially because remakes are rarely done well 
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 
. 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 
anatomy which is just awkward.
2. The music is lacklustre . 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 
.
Still overall, it's a pretty fun watch. I suggest you guys check it out .

I miss the old hand drawn shit. This new stuff always feels sterile and soulless to me. It makes everything have a quality of sameness, but maybe I'm just old.

We are most likely never getting those back sadly. Hand drawn cell animation was a product of nippon's economic boom . We won't be getting those unless it's some expensive passion project.
