| I was never fan of Kappei Yamaguchi in original Ranma 1/2 and i thought his performance was weakest, so i was pretty disappointed to see him voicing Ranma again. |
| Ranma was his debut role. It's safe to assume that after 35 years of experience his performance can only have improved. Don't be a hater before the series has come out, c'mon. |
| Yeah, I think so. Cast was/is fine. |

| I haven't really had any experience with Takahashi's original works, neither manga nor anime. I did however watch the Urusei Yatsura remake, and I was really satisfied with the casting (duh, star cast). I did enjoy that it felt modern both in style and in the semi-modern cast. Although I''ve never watched or read the original Ranma, it did feel like something was off with casting the originals though. I do think a remake would be a great opportunity to give some new talents a chance to breathe new life in this, as it feels kind of unnecessary to make a remake other wise (other than actually finishing the run this time?), and with the fresh look of the anime, I would have also preferred if the characters sounded a bit more modern, although I think the cast did well enough with the performances. I do see the appeal of catering to fans of the old show though, and I can understand why they decided to. In some cases, like with the Spice and Wolf remake, this can be a great choice, since the voice actors are integral to the feel of the characters in that case, but I honestly just don't want 60yo Usopp voicing Ranma. tl;dr big agree, wish they'd gone with a fresh cast |
| yes, you might actually be the only one. from my experience, recasts don't live up to it anyway. |
