| Not gonna lie, i was convinced all of this would have been handled like Urusei Yatsura remake in regards to the amount of episodes, so it still feels odd to abruptly go on hiatus at 12 only like a average seasonal series and with a episode that didn't seem very season-finalesque like many others already noticed. Nothing much to add honestly, i preferred how the original anime made Akane regain her memories of Ranma, especially... As someone who still considers the 1989 series as a top 10 favorite in Anime, it was a pretty good callback considering also artstyle and new OP and ED. Will return for more. |

| This season's ending is not as abrupt as Dandadan's, but still feels like it just ends all of a sudden. It's all good though, we have immediate season 2 announcements after both. Switched back and forth from sub to dub for the first couple episodes and settled on sub, and watched this last episode dubbed. And I gotta say: I think dub is the way to go. I think the voice acting fits the characters well and isn't as jarring as dubs sometimes are. But most importantly it's just more pleasant to listen to; with the sub, voices can get irritating imho. This goes especially for Akane- it's like she's a whole different person dubbed, and she feels much less annoying and I just like her a lot more this way. Anyway if you couldn't tell already, watch this and the next season dubbed- unless you are like super against dubs and avoid them like the plague, then you do you ig. Anyway yeah so that's the first season of the reboot/remake/whateverthefuck of Ranma 1/2 that started airing back in 1989. Can't compare the two because well I've never watched the original (briefly watched the first episode of the original, and it seems pretty similar, I think I'd like both pretty much equally. I'd prefer the fresh coat of paint of this new one, but I hear that it is kind of rushed compared to the original which covers more and probably flows better as a result. Again, can't compare, but just judging from this reboot alone, well I like it), but yeah, this was solid. Sure went by quick. Was expecting a 24 episode season with just how quick it felt, and I wish it would've been so. But again it's ok, season 2 is on the way already. Solid production, and each episode is packed with fun- and yeah I gotta say again is even better (because everyone sounds much less annoying imho) dubbed. Would I watch 160 episodes of this? Would it get old fast with just Akane beating up Ranma all the time (everyone punching each other all the time is dumb and hilarious, but Akane punching Ranma just pisses me off. If there's an episode where Ranma gives Akane a nice helpful serving of pure gender equality, that'll be the day)? Idk, idk if this plot or whatever does progress in any way. If it does, sure I'll watch hundreds of episodes of this. But if is purely episodic with now building of the central plot of Ranma and Akane's engagement, then it'll probably eventually be a pass from me. For now though, since we're just 12 episodes in- and boy what a fast 12 episodes these were- it's been quite a blast actually. Solid 7/10. Looking forward to the next season. edit: oh yeah forgot to mention something HIGHLY important: Shampoo best girl baby sit the fuck down. Man I know Ranma's engaged and all, but I hope he returns at least some of all that love that Shampoo is giving him. Who cares anyway, Ranma and bitch Akane don't (on the surface at least) want to be engaged and definitely don't act like they are anyway. Well at the very least, the act like an old married couple maybe. But still, I don't really care about Akane, especially after her character-'development' haircut. Like apparently a lot of people don't like Ryoga, and I'm assuming it's because he's getting between Ranma and Akane. So yeah idc about Akane so I have no problem with Ryoga whatsoever. And speaking of Akane's haircut: WHY OH WHY bro, she looked way better with long hair. Short hair can be cute and all, but Akane's kind is NOT it. I get they have to make it like the original, but if they could change one thing up, I'd definitely bring the hair back. I'll allow all the bitchiness, just bring back the hair 🙏 ok rant over be on your way now |

| I liked the first season, but this was probably one of the laziest sequel hooks in my memory, lmao. But for now it’s a more or less solid 8. |
