- I noticed that hardly anyone talks about this series anymore, so I wanted to give it some much deserved appreciation! Here's hoping for Ranma ½ to return in some way!

Depending on who was at the reigns of a remake, a new version of this show would either be the best thing ever or the cringiest.
A remake would only work if NOTHING was added or removed. I.E inserting jokes and politics and "standards" of today should not be done.
If they were a bunch of American SJW's it would be straight up trash. The Japanese don't like any of that crap..
@@ExodusCore I feel like you missed the point of this video.
@@inkmage4084 pretty sure the video was full of SJW “trash”.
@@bgvo4373 Exodus did not miss the point, and your reply to me... Makes no sense lol... But yes SJWs only make trash... Because they are trash.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the show's humor? They really commit to Ryoga's lack of sense of direction. I was not expecting that plotline lol.
There was a reason or just was the way Ryoga was born?
@@Pandor18 I haven't watched the show enough to know for sure but so far, it seems like he was born that way lol
Some of the common sense can be thrown out the window. The best example is Ryoga being a pig. If Akane cares so much for Ryoga because she did not know he fell in the spring, she would have given him a bath where she would have found out. Genma even went into a bathtub where Soun was bathing.
This is an 80s anime, so let’s not forget that half the jokes are just Ranma getting hit by Akane
@@flapjack0925
let's not forget that basically half the jokes are Ranma pissing off Akane and then she hits him and calls him out on the jerk he is
Jay: this anime is Not for children.
Me, who watched this on cartoon network at age 8: 👁️👄👁️
I low-key watched it when I was 5 and/or 6 💀
Same

I feel like kids dont really care for nudity... if the grown ups dont tell them that it is something bad
I watched when I was 6
There's nothing wrong with being proud to be male - so long as that pride doesn't lead you to think less of females. And vice-versa. Women should also be proud to be women. Be comfortable in your own skin.
Whilst I don't disagree with the sentiment, "You should be proud of your gender" and being comfortable in your own skin relies on that I don't think are true. I'm comfortable and proud of other aspects of myself, but my attitude towards my gender is rather blazé.
That's the thing. Quite often people aren't conformable in their own gender skin and the rest of us should give them the space to find what they are comfortable being
@@voightkampffchamp what
@@Earlycaven2 as they said, many if not most people are comfortable in the bodies that they're born with. but many are also uncomfortable with their own bodies for many reasons, so the rest of us who are comfortable should help each other out :D
That's the point of the show, actually. It's on Hulu
The fact you decide to do an anime and it’s one a lot of people don’t know about, thank you! I want to hear all your opinions tbh lol I would love a comparison of all of Rumiko Takahashi’s major works in the future, like how similar her themes are in each, etc. I love how she has strong female characters in her works. Even if they’re half female lol Do Akane next! There are also not a lot of female creators in anime/manga and she’s really the only one I know.
I'd love to do a video about Ryoga or all the fiancées one day.

@@JayniacJr PLEASE MAKE ONE ABOUT AKANE
R: I'm a proud male
Series: are you tho?
R: ok, I'm a born male who turns into a female sometimes
Series: BUT ARE YOU THO?
R: well I mean being a girl can have its benefits but I'm still a guy
@@luisrosales3430 arvo: oh I'll agree with that
I'm born both
Though*
Umm .. the jusenkyo cursed ponds from China? Anyone??
I do argue the Manga explores more gender dynamics.
And I do find it interesting that this show/manga was created by a woman who was raised in a very traditional post-war Japan, Rumiko Takahashi-sensei truly has a unique view, and to be honest, if Ranma had a male author in no way shape, or form his female form would act the way that he does.
And we do have something interesting with Akane, she is a very tomboy girl that is trying her best to be more feminine, by emulating her older sister, who she thinks it's the embodiment of the perfect woman.
Wasn't Akane only imitating her oldest sister because she had a thing for a doctor?
@@Neku628 she had a crush, but her sister and the doctor were already in love, but at the same time Akane was the tomboy girl trying to be a feminine woman, and her oldest sister was what she had as an example of what society sees as a “perfect wife“.
The Doctor is just a plot convenience, her first main arc is accepting that it's okay to be a tomboy girl, and it's actually what made her closer to Ranma and I do think it's the reason they end up together, he has to be less sexist and she too has to learn that she can be tomboyish and feminine at the same time.
@@MsSumoon I remember the doctor. His mom was funny but she was kinda sexist and inappropriate. I mean, going around and feeling girls' butts and hips to see if they would be a good match for her son and could push out babies out was...hahahaha...ugh!
@@MsSumoon
I think a commenter with the username exodus:(eh idk maybe.....whatever): mentioned something about how Akane's been intentionally made into the "worst girl" just so that she could ultimately be the "winner" going on to show that "even the worst girl CAN
STILL get/win the best guy"
@@Neku628 I feel like probably the entire anime plus virtually just about prety much EVERYTHING else's kinda
sexist/mysoginistic as well so I guess sexism/mysoginy in
shows/movies at this point don't really bother me too much somehow especially since that stuff's been kinda shoved into my/our face/s
since like FOREVER ago
not that it makes stuff like
sexism/mysoginy alright or anything
"This show is not for kids" Me, at age 6, finding this show on TV and immediately being hooked.
It’s not surprising the show didn’t tackle gender very much. Back then, especially in Japan, the modern western understanding of gender wasn’t exactly well known or respected
The modern western understanding is fake though. The modern western understanding is just some crap that is being pushed by the leftwing media as well as certain groups. It is not respected or liked by most people despite what media is trying to tell you.
@@ExodusCore I’ve personally experienced that “crap” the majority of my life, before i ever got into politics and I’m not even left wing personally. It’s not a political thing, it’s a human experience that i and many people deal with
@@Jellylamps were you shouting in the faces of those at wanted nothing to do with you? Are you, even now, twisting what is a normal fun experience into something that you I could never possible understand. Get over yourselves. Ranma is gay, or bi or tans, he’s a cartoon.
@@whiteknob7944 i don’t have a Problem with anyone’s interpretation of an animation. I have a problem with a stranger telling me my life is a lie
The "modern western understanding" is trash (along with most of everything else cooked up by the loons, which the Japanese, Chinese, and now even Europe make fun of)... Japanese creators are more concerned with creating interesting characters, story.. Creativity.. Whereas in the west today, are more concerned with trying to sell propaganda, focusing on race, gender, and sexuality, not the CHARACTER, not story... This is why western comics, animation, and most movies today....Are trash.
Any argument that Ranma "accepts" his Jusenkyo curse is undermined by the fact that Ranma never, EVER stops hoping to remove it. When even the slightest chance of obtaining a cure pops up, Ranma jumps after it, no matter how ridiculous or dangerous the situation may require him to put himself through. In the manga, he literally abandons Akane at the altar to try and steal the Jusenkyo cure he would have received anyway if he'd gone through with the marriage ceremony.
I think "accepts" is probably a strong word for the reason you say. But all of the characters grew to appreciate the upsides of their curses as a potentially-useful part of themselves as the series progressed, Ranma being no exception.
There was an Ep when he went back to time to prevent the curse
@@lewisaino if you mean the ep that I think/hope you mean then pretty much my FAVORITE scene would be when Ranma's been all like "well I guess that answers the question of whose kids they are" cuz of the HILARIOUS looks on their faces LMAO😂
@@monabohamad2242 Which episode is that??
@@sotrue5413 The time travel episode is a season... I wanna say 5, off the top of my head? It's called "Ranma Goes Back to Jusenkyo at Last?" Don't ask me for the specific episode number, because I cannot for the life of me keep them straight.
please talk about the episode where Ranma thinks he was born a woman. 🥺
Trans
I would love to hear him talk about that episode.
Was the thumbnail a fan art?
@@astronymyx4860 It was an official promotional image. They often depicted the two forms as different people even though that never really happened in canon. (Barring a few clone stories, but even those were never a true split)
@@ucantbeme imagine that Ranma's curse was not meant to become a girl but rather he switched bodies with his sister due to falling into hot spring that makes 2 people become one. Hot water Ranma, cold water Rika. The name Ranko is getting too old. Just a fanfic idea.
Finally someone remembers that show
Clearly he doesn't though since he got a lot of things wrong.
@@ExodusCore no they didn’t. and considering you don’t even know the word cis has exited for fucking years you aren’t smart enough to make any claims about anything.
@@the_devil4676 relax
I loved this show when I was a kid
They used to show it on TV on Latin America, so it is pretty well known here, at least among mid 20 somethings.
I love all of Rumiko Takahashi's work, from Ranma to Inuyasha, Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, etc.
It was later in life that I realized that, at least on Latin America, the show didn´t have censorship.
And also, when he said "obscure series" I was really thrown off jajaja
It did had censorship it was shown on open air kinda early like at 2pm at least in mexico
@@diegobarron1690 actually in Ecuador the first time they aired the anime was uncensored, but after a few years and rewatching the episodes, I noticed they actually removed most of the scenes that contained nudity.
will if your bi ranma would be the perfect boyfriend/girlfriend
As a bi person Ranma was actually one of my first anime crushes 😬

As a kid this was the show too watch back in the late 90's and early 2000's....such an underrated anime
Agreed
I wanna see a revival so bad for this show. With a little bit of updated gender tackling but good jokes I can see it going farther than ever
no stop right there just fucking no......
There's an even bigger divide today so no...
No. Don't change a single thing.
This might not of been my first anime but it was the one that truly made me into an anime fan
Also 8:13 It’s not really irrational when for days if not weeks you were forced down a hole of cats surrounded by fish or other food. Especially as a young kid , it’s definitely a rational fear
Yeah I felt bad for him because I totally love cats! But the only way to help with stuff like this is slow reintroduction aka exposure therapy.
@@RoKer13 well I don't have anything against cats so as long as they're friendly harmless
A ranma 1/2 video in 2021 now this is pretty epic ngl. One of my favorite anime’s of all time, and this was a pretty good analysis of the character. So thank you for doing this
Okay tank
someones finally talking about this show omg...
ALSO PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE EPISODE WHERE HE THINKS HES A GIRL PLEASE
One of my favorites, another would be the episode where he, in Akanes place, pretends to be her and beat a rich guy in martial arts eating. In this show, everything is martial arts and it's great
WILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT EPISODE THAT IS PLEASE
@@smurfo3000 season 3 episode 3 :)
“Am I Pretty?…Ranma’s Declaration of Womanhood”
Counter to what the video says he doesn’t claim to have been born a woman but just asserts he is one deep down and undergoes a MASSIVE personality shift (becomes hyperfeminine)
One other commenter suggested the theory that it wasn’t so much that his personality changed but what happened was he was channeling the spirit of the girl who drowned in the spring he fell into and honestly that makes a LOT of sense.
@@pipersteele5580 I will recommend it to Teici C
I rarely see analysts on Ranma I’d love to see more from you. And more anime this was very well made.
Dads Saotome and Tendo are incredibly hilarious characters on their own.
I prefer Happosai, he is a comedy shoot.
If you are doing anime and are up for a real challenge then analyze Kikyo from Inuyasha.
Kikyō would be tricky.
Now it is time to explain the very very complex love "web" of the show
I'd love to!
The love web is probably my favorite aspect of the show. And you sound like a madman explaining it to someone who doesn't know the series, especially with all the form changes lol
@@ACDBunnie "okay listen, he is in love with him but only when he is a she, but her sister hates her, but is in love with him..."
"I´m not explaining myself..."
@@Pandor18 uh yeah ok
I've watched some 70+ episodes and here's what I got you're talking about how the somewhat arrogant and sorta stupid Kuno's "in love" with/obsessed with
Female Ranma:(also Akane aka Ranma's fiancee the first one of the 3 reapearing fiancees as in the first one we the audience get introduced to): while whereas meanwhile his twisted sister Kodachi on the other hand's "in love" with/obsessed with Male Ranma but sorta
hates Female Ranma
@@ACDBunnie my favorite aspect would be all the comedy I mean like specifically when they've got funny looks on their faces+when slapstick brutal comedy occurs like pervy/jerk characters getting:(often/usually deservedly): kicked and stuff
OKAY! BIG RESPECT FOR TALKING RANMA½!!! It was one of my first anime/manga obsessions and it holds a very special place in my heart. Would love to hear you talk about Ranmas Declaration of Womanhood or any of the other characters!!!
Did you mean obscure ironically? I haven't actually read/watched much Rumiko Takahashi stuff but I always thought of her early stuff (Urusei Yatsura , Ranma 1/2, and Inuyasha) as classics and I've been hearing about it most of my life.
Yeah because that Rinnie series was basically if Ranma and Inuyasha had a love child with bleach
I think it may have not been a joke since outside of InuYasha eventhough Ranma 1/2 as of march 2021 has sold more copies then My Hero Academia(including the spin offs) with 53 million cpies sold as of 2015. It's really not talked as much as one might expect such a significant series would be discussed. I imagine part of it's just it's old, has a lot of questionable stuff and hasn't received an anime going over it again which the other very significant shonen martial arts show that came out around the same time Dragon Ball Z has.
It has to be a joke Ranma is the most famous gender switching mangas. It is a classic and it is still in print.
Same here, honestly this was one of those animes that was so prevalent that even my local library had this stuff.
It's obscure to a lot of modern young anime fans in the West at least, especially if they haven't dived into older series as much yet. But otherwise I agree, these series are still considered classics.
I’m so happy someone is talking about this anime THANK YOU
More Ranma please.
yeah we need a reboot but I worry about the identity politics today ruining the new story. That aside, still worth a reboot.
@@JimmyJaxJellyStax i am waiting for a videogame spin off Ranma 1/2 game made like Arslan Warriors or simply Dynasty Warriors. Like we see Ranma could literally one shot almost everyone.
I don't see why Ranma isn't supposed to be for kids. Yeah it has some adult jokes, but most children series have that.
I've watched it as a kid and I see nothing wrong with it.
Blood & Nudity
I think its because of the tame nudity, adult themes and the violence shown in the show.
American kids yeah. Japanese kids are just fine.
If I were cursed to turn into a woman just by a splash of water I'd be into it
I'm glad someone else noticed how Ranma's curse was basically a way for him to pay a retaliation for his excessive pride, and for him to experience the other side of the world's viewpoint, so that he can mature, and become a better person in the middle. It's a theme that gets rarely touched upon, nor even in the original manga, i may add
Ranma:IM A GUY
turns into wendys
Lol
I have a little bit of an issue on calling Ranma 1/2 obscure. I suppose if you ask the average anime watcher now what it is it would be much less well known, when it was new it was pretty popular. So less obscure and more simply dated.
It's funny how I remember over two decades ago Ranma was extremely popular and was a big deal, being at the top of many must watch anime lists at the time. Time does sure change everything... man do I feel old, lol.
This was one of my favourite animes to watch as a child and manga to read.
I grew up watching the much superior Spanish version but the English one isn’t terrible its one of the decent dubs from back then
#ContinueRanma
If we got the Snyder Cut with the power of fans and hashtags, we have to try to get a continuation of Ranma! There’s so much more ground to cover!
Dude I’m in love with you. Thank u so much this si my favorite anime and yet it’s so underrated and not talked about enough!
I love this show so much! Thanks for talking about it!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Honestly Ranma's curse would be quite neat to have.
In real life people don't tend to be splashed with cold water quite as frequently as they do in the show anyway, so it would normally be quite easy to control. The only real issue would be rain.
It's awesome you did a Ranma video. It is a fun show that I don't hear being talked about often. Although it mostly avoids gender concerns, there is still a lot you can analyze from the show (such as Ranma's sometimes toxic masculinity or on characters like Ryoga or Shampoo).
I'd love to see more Ranma Videos! This is fantastic!! What a treat!
My favourite show/books as a tween and I'm not over it yet haha... some things just stick with you somehow...
There's one fundamental misunderstanding in the video: Ranma is actually quite consistent on his feelings towards his female form. He never truly comes to accept it, and would be rid of his curse in a heartbeat given the opportunity.
However, as long as he _has_ the curse, he's 100% willing to make use of it for the advantages society affords attractive young girls. Even in the first season, we can see Ranma willingly adopting his female form and using it to get additional/free food from street vendors. Or, as you pointed out with footage from the Ice Skating episode, to avoid embarrassment in his male form. He's also willing to adopt it to help Akane, as seen in the Rhythmic Gymnastics episode.
These are all there from the start of the show, not a gradual acceptance on the part of Ranma.
He does, however, let his pride get him into scenarios where he has to rely on his female form. One of the quotes you showed was Ranma stating he can win at anything with "Martial Arts" in the name. This pride causes him to accept challenges that aren't technically available to him as a man, and so he'll put up with using his female form in order to participate _just_ _to_ _prove_ _he_ _can_ _win._ But again, this is just him _using_ his female form, not accepting it.
The same applies to when he threw on the bunny girl outfit as a girl in order to sell Okonomiyaki. Because one other thing Ranma is prideful about is not just his Martial Arts ability, but his appearance in *both* of his forms. So he ignored his usual hesitation at dressing up like a girl _just_ to prove he was hotter.
Basically, anything that appears to be Ranma accepting his female form in the anime is only confusing it with him being prideful, because he has the internal belief that he's the hottest thing on the market no matter what form he's in.
This is, also, btw, why he becomes upset when one of the girl's lose interest in him. While the series does show him having secret feelings for Akane, for the others it's just a way for him to confirm his belief in his own attractiveness. It's pretty despicable, since he's just leading them on, but it really is just him liking the attention.
As for a remake or additional content… I don’t want that to happen. Modern culture would tear Ranma to shreds. Even Kasumi, the most unassuming and least problem character in the show is “problematic” by todays standards and wouldn’t be allowed. Why? Because she wants to be a traditional housewife. That isn’t allowed today, you can’t show that. Twitter would lose their minds.
This isn’t even mentioning the bigger problem characters like Nabiki (for taking nude pictures of unconscious female Ranma and selling them without consent) or Happosai.
Very well put. The only thing I disagree with is "Modern culture would tear Ranma to shreds". I used to think that until I saw the Crash Bandicoot remake KEEP Papu Papu...a character that more than a few people thought was a racist stereotype. Nothing was changed...and no one cared. There are plenty of cases where creators keep their creative integrity rather than conforming to societies standards.
I don't think Kasumi has to be changed at all. If anything I think keeping her the same could show that being a traditional housewife doesn't mean you're lazy, unintelligent, or dependent.
Nabiki would probably be idolized for being a strong independent woman that doesn't need a man and takes whatever she wants. Things like the nude photos could easily be substituted for something else. After all, she only did it to manipulate Kuno iirc.
I've always hated Happosai. Not because of the pervy stuff, moreso because he's a main character. Every time he's on screen I just cringe! I never found him funny or interesting in the slightest. The series was fine without him...but if we really want to keep him then just keep his screen time to a minimum and don't just treat his pervy antics like a joke.
I genuinely believe a Ranma remake could be great if handled by the right people. And no, it doesn't have to be political. It could still just be a fun anime.
@@JayniacJr Thank you, hopefully it didn’t come off as too harsh. I was pretty blunt without thinking about it.
Anyhow, true, the nudes Nabiki took _could_ be substituted, but then that’s changing something to appease the (potential) mob. That’s the opposite of what fans want. Besides, she was doing it (a lot more than shown) to profit off of Kuno’s obsession with Akane and Girl-type Ranma, not really manipulate him.
Otherwise you might be right about her being idolized, but I could see it going the other way as well, people complaining about her being a negative stereotype of all women being gold-diggers.
But ultimately, there’s no way to really know what the angry mob will complain about or defend until it happens. Personally, I just don’t want to see the risk taken. And being realistic, despite the longevity of the fanbase’s passion, Inu Yasha is Takahashi Rumiko’s most popular work. That’s why Yashahime exists and the last Ranma content produced was the 2008 special.
As far as hated characters though… the fucking Principal is *easily* the worst.
@@MisterPuck
"as far as hated characters though the principal is easily the worst" what do you mean exactly?
@@monabohamad2242 The Principal is only ever extremely annoying and adds nothing. People complain about Happosai, and yeah I'd agree that he was over used in a lot of the filler, but at least Happosai kept Ranma's skills sharp, or resulted in Ranma learning a new technique that he can use later. The Principal does none of that and his woody-woodpecker laughing ass is easily the worst character imo.
@@MisterPuck well it's kinda funny when he:(the Principal also somewhat easily Happosai
kinda rightfully):
get/s beaten and stuff cuz the show kinda obviously operates using literally BRUTAL slapstick comedy
I really loved this video, I used to actually watch ranma when I was younger and really liked it so I appreciate this video!
Imma need more Ranma analysis, this is my all time favorite show
Awesome video! Absolutely love it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
If you made more Ranma analysis videos, I'd def watch them! This was a good analysis. Being how old the Ranma series is, there's a few things in it that would be seen negatively nowadays and talking about gender can be a difficult subject to navigate. It can be very easy to mix up certain terms and concepts. But you handled it all well.
That's because things get offended over anything and everything today. Also, people are wrong about gender and sex when they talk about intersexuality etc, so when they see something that doesn't conform to heir beliefs, it is only natural that they would take offense.
When I was a kid, I loved watching Ranma 1/2. The idea of turning into a girl or a boy, seemingly at will, was really appealing to me, even before I knew I was trans. But a couple of years ago, I tried to rewatch it from the beginning and Ranma's attitude made me really uncomfortable, I guess it was because I couldn't project myself the way I used to anymore, despite how much I wanted.
This video has convinced me to give it bother shot. To try to look at it from Ranma's perspective instead of mine. I wanna like this anime again and now I just might. Thank you.
You're so well spoken, and I love you voice 😍
omg a ranma analysis 🥺🥺 yesssss
I watched ranma as a kid. Though the risque parts were edited. I didn't expect it to be a mainstream anime at all. I loved (still love)the show and really love that you made a video abt it
would definitely like to hear ur thoughts about the episode where ranma thinks he was born a woman!
I remember that episode. Ranma gets knocked upside the head and he thinks he's a woman. The way Akane fixes him is by him getting head injuries and he pretty much just swaps through multiple personalities until he gets back to his old self. Granted, this anime/manga is pretty brutal when it comes to the slapstick from the misunderstandings Ranma finds himself running into as well as him being a jerk to Akane, Shampoo.
@@Neku628
OMG thank you and sexist mysoginistic dumbass haters seemingly unnecessarily blaming Akane for how Ranma's been a totally egotistical obnoxious insufferable jerk towards her:(as well as the other rivaling
girls/fiancees who've been totally OBSESSED with him therefore constantly fighting/competing for his unreciprocated unrequited affection): are as bad as Ranma
My favorite show when i was a kid. I loved anything where gender switched i appeared. Never understood why when i was young, i wished i alway i could do it myself But later in my live when i began to understand that i was transgender
I love this anime so much I’m glad that someone made a video of that topic!
I AUDIBLY GASPED WHEN I SAW THIS NOTIF RANMA 1/2 IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ANIMES AND SEEING SOMEONE TALK ABOUT IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY-
unexpected but welcome surprise, I haven't seen the video in full yet but I'm so excited
In japan Ranma is voiced by a man when in boy form and woman as a girl. The cast of ranma voice actors in japan is filled with famous people.
Great video, I love this show
It's so good!
This was a great video! It was crazy hearing it in English dub cause i only watched it in Japanese.
I so would love to see a new season or video game of ranma just seeing anything new of ranma can put a smile on my face ranma was even the first anime that I had got all the season for on dvd
Wow. I haven't watched this show for 20 years. Forgot how much I loved it. Thanks!

OK! This'll probably get buried, but the fact that you know what 'cis' means and don't see it as an insult is awesome! I've watched some of your other reviews, but that has definitely earned a sub from me!
It’s honestly great to see. As someone who has never heard of this anime before, it definitely cleared up the thumbnail and title real quick, and also reassured me that this analysis would be taken with enough care
@@crownednova I knew of Ranma 1/2, but I never enjoyed it. I hesitated to click on this video, but his "Jori analysis" made me curious what he'd say. I was pleasantly surprised and ended up watching the entire review because of that care
CIS doesn't mean anything though. It is a made up trash word though that some people are desperately trying to popularize. It is a pretty insulting term though because it feeds into the garbage narrative of some people.

@@monochromesoul5873 Yes. Instead of watching cartoons and RUclips videos maybe you should start reading some medical papers on the subject?
@@ExodusCore Intersex literally exists and it’s not that rare.
@@ExodusCore That's not true even in terms of physical biology - e.g. intersex. I'm not sure why you think nature would be obligated to conform to your specific human interpretation, reality is often weirder than we think it is, not the other way around.
On a side note, Ranma is the show with the best background musics OF ALL TIME; and it's a hill i will die on
One of the most underrated anime ever
Ranma had more fiances than 3 his dad selled him left abd right
Great character study
Glad for analysis of this anime I loved growing up and want to hear more thoughts on it
Unpopular opinion, male ranma is a really good character and i really enjoyed his masculine vibe.
Great video, definitely the tip of the iceberg on the sociology of gender. Loved watching Ranma 1/2 I wish it had a better ending.
Bro i loved this video so much i cant explain
PLEASE MAKE AN ENTIRE VIDEO ABOUT AKANE. Shes such an interesting character!
I'd probably talk about Ukyo or Ryoga before Akane.
Ty this makes me want to watch this anime, I'm actually excited 😆
This anime was the very first anime I watched in full, so this video means more to me than it would so others
Please do more Ranma videos. I love that series.
Love Ranma💕
This is one anime power that I want as a kid
Ah, classic anime are so fun!
I've never heard of this before, but you're video was very interesting, plus as a not cis person this was intriguing lol
I remember this manga and anime. I have liked this ever sense I read it in highschool.
I would love to have a reboot to this anime.
Same
sadly only 80 episodes are available (minus that one episode that happens to be the first part of a storyline across two episodes, that is banned for some reason)in my first language and the voiceacting is so well done, that the english version cant keep up and is just dissapointing...
to add to that the voiceactor for ranmas male half has sadly passed away so there is zero chance of more episodes...
Super happy your talking about a anime.
One of my favorite animes
One of my favorite anime's from a bygone era
Can you do Yu Yu Hakusho next? I guess Yuseke since he’s the main/most complex.
There's Ranma 1/2 fighting game back in the 90 for Super Famicon. I have it! And in fact I think there are several games released under for this anime/manga.
I love the manga and for me, a woman, Ranma-girl is a role-model: funny, strong, kindhearted and sly as fox. He/she never gives up and uses his/her skill and brain to win the battle. Actually, I like Ranma being rude with girls, because there are many times when female characters manipulate him with ostentatious weakness and rules that guy should not beat a girl. That is why Akane feels so annoying. She wants to be as good fighter as Ranma, but she always has to be saved from fight she stupidly begins. She can't stand a chance with Shanpoo and Ucchan. She is so irrational and toxic towards Ranma.
I really was watching this show at 9 omg😭
2:18 I don't think he's overly proud about manliness. He's just emphasizing it because his curse has caused him to develop a complex so he'd feel the need to assert and make sure everyone knows he's a guy
I LOVE RANMA ❤❤❤❤❤
I don’t know why but your intro song is catchy
This a high quality video
"This show's not for kids"
Spacetoon: :/
Censored hard
Pleeeease make more ranma analysis videos :0
I love this anime and it's all episode
Its weird to see how different the anime looks from the manga, did they skip over the cursed pools entirely?
Can u also do Inuyasha sometime? :)
