Brother, that was all you. Can't plead non compos mentis in this, you are guilty as charged.

I like how Ranma has this cutesy idealized version of Akane in his head that he thinks could never exist. Meanwhile here she is acting exactly like that thinking Ranma asked her on a date.

I'm so happy they went all in on this bit. Makes up for it being entirely cut from the original adaptation.

They are like two mice but one keeps going for the cheese while the other knows it's a trap.

I tend to see a pretty strong sentiment online about how Studio Deen handled Akane. There's plenty of fair criticism to be had, it's by no means a flawless adaptation. But one I see a lot is that they actually hated Akane and tried to make people dislike her. Honestly, I don't see it.

I think it might just be how the different audiences see it. But I think they increased her "tsundere-ness" because their audience actually liked that about her. It just didn't go well when localizing it because that kind of behavior in a woman is seen as annoying instead of endearing.

Besides, have you seen just how gorgeous she is?

I can't really explain why, but Ranma will always look cutest in black and white to me.

There's also Herb, but I guess you could chalk it up to inconsistent localizations or just bad memory.

It's kind of telling how my favorite stories in this series involve Akane giving Ryoga attention just to make Ranma jealous.

Ranma actually doing some self reflection for once.

From "Akane goes to the hospital".

Unsure about other territories, but previously only the sub was free and you had to pay for the dubbed episodes/seasons individually.

It's kind of weird how Ryoga and Nabiki never interact at all. You'd think she'd be aware of the whole P-chan thing and try to profit off of it. There's an untapped gold mine of interactions there.

He's got the pretty eyelashes, though.

This was part of a small trend on twitter a while ago where people were redrawing girl Ranma scenes but with boy Ranma instead. There's some funny stuff there, you can see more using "#らん乱チェンジ".

I can't help but laugh at all the little touches MAPPA makes to try to enhance the romantic atmosphere because Ranma 1/2 is ultimately the work of a deeply evil person, so they get to do a little evil of their own by baiting us even harder.

I'm partial to 2024, though it depends on who is directing the episode and it can have some major style shifts.

Akane has so much confidence to let Kodachi flaunt her man for her own validation. If Ranma had any clue what was really going on, she would never hear the end of it.
