| yo mappa went hard with akane's fight. holy shit sugita is also here, and i just realized that the previous VA for kunou passed away damn rip. IzanaSolos said: there's actually too many mendou's in this series lmao but the closest one to him is gonna be And looks like Kunou's gonna be the Mendou of this series this time around eh xD who's yet to show up. |
 |
| Such a funny episode!! Excited for the upcoming ones!! |
| Well this episode is pretty much Kuno's introduction episode. I still stand with my opinion that even though he's decent here, I still thought he's a poor man's Shutarou Mendo lol. All of Akane's school male students are freak that only see her as a trophy to win her, no wonder she hates men. I feel like Kuno's introduction is a little different than I remember from the old anime, perhaps this one is manga accurate so that's why. Looks like the next episode would be either about Dr Tofu or Kodachi. |

| It's getting more funnier for sure. Their duo will be legendary! |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| Having to fight an entire school of men every day just to go to class would also give me a hatred of them. Akane's pretty valid. Kuno's persistence is remarkable, but it's that same persistence that is driving our two leads up a wall. May he take a chill-pill! (I did like his interaction with Nabiki though. I ship it.) |
 |
| Pretty cute episode, and Kuno is great as always. Ranma fading to dust was a great end. 5/5 |
 |
He meant that Kuno is Ranma 1/2's Mendo. Mendo is one of the main side characters of Urusei Yatsura, Takahashi's work before Ranma 1/2. A lot of the characters in Ranma 1/2 are based on the archetypes established in Urusei Yatsura. I suggest watching it. Especially the original 1981 Urusei Yatsura. |
| Really fun episode. This will sound gay as fuck but it's the truth, what happened in the end is all Ranma's fault for being so sexy when turned into a girl lol (can't believe I said that). |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Tatewaki Kuno, the self-proclaimed "Blue Thunder of Furinkan High School," is unforgettable! His over-the-top, pompous personality and relentless pursuit of Akane Tendo and the "Pigtailed Girl" bring so much humor to Ranma ½. His dramatic declarations and confident yet delusional demeanor make him one of the most entertaining characters. Tatewaki Kuno's skills are undeniable; he is a formidable martial artist and kendoka. However, his grandiose emotions and eccentric personality often overshadow his true abilities. His arrogance and delusional self-image lead to hilarious misunderstandings and constant distractions. Moreover, his aristocratic background and aloof nature make it hard for him to connect with the everyday experiences of his peers, adding to the comedic contrast.  |
| this anime is peak |
 |
| That Kuno debut in the series was as good as I remembered it. I'm looking forward to see again the rest of the cast. |

| This will not be the last confession Ranma would get from any guy, I feel. Keeping that aside, going forward I hope we see Akane stop acting like a broken record saying me hate men every other minute. |
 |
| I honestly never cared for this particular part of the story, but this episode was done well. I'm super glad that they contained it in a single episode instead of splitting it across two like in the original. Looking forward to Ryoga next episode. |

| Peak peak peak fiction (peak) |
| Never seen the original but 2 episodes in and I'm having a lot of fun so far. I tried that urusei yatsura show and I didn't really like it but this one has been better overall. Looking forward to seeing more |

Apparently asking for clarification on something is "some bs" and worthy of accusing someone of not knowing how to speak a language. All this exchange did was make me less interested in checking out Urusei Yatsura, so nice job shooting yourself in the foot.
At least there's some people polite enough to explain, so thanks to @leonardobarba for that.

| @hawk222 FWIW, they're the one at fault - you did and said absolutely nothing wrong. But please don't let that dickhead ruin Urusei Yatsura for you, as it's really good. |

| Really enjoying the remake of one of my childhood anime favorites. Though I would have preferred the characters having new JP VA's. |

@0451 the character i look foward the most in this remake is shampoo. based on the pacing at what episode do you think she will show up for the first time?
| @Elior21 I've seen the leaks so I already know when she's going to appear. Thankfully, the Remake is following the order of the manga pretty closely unlike the original series which created an unnecessary mess by debuting Shampoo earlier because they thought it'd make the series more popular as it was struggling to get views. All it did was create a continuity error that just confused people and the series got cancelled anyway. They later rebooted it as Ranma 1/2 Nettohen and they started by adapting the arc which they initially skipped. If you have the English Blu-ray chances are you don't know about this as afaik Viz reordered the episodes to fit the manga order. Still, the animation change should've been noticeable. |

| I don't get the hate. I haven't seen the OG but this has been a lot of fun so far. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |

@IkemenSenpai Does being closer to the manga necessarily mean it is better? For example would the Usagi Drop anime adaptation be better if it had the manga ending?
Some times changes made in anime adaptations are improvements and not necessarily always negative.

| @CommanderZx2 It's a matter of perspective. I prefer an anime that follows the manga point by point so I can experience what the mangaka intended to convey. For example, take Neon Genesis Evangelion—its ending was terrible, which is why they created an alternate version with a better conclusion. But even so, the majority still prefer the original anime, even though the MC was pathetic and the ending was bad. So, it really comes down to preference. You might enjoy an anime with a better story, even if it's altered from the manga, but I personally prefer anime that sticks closely to the source material. |
 |
| Really enjoying this, It's made with so much heart and charm. |
 |
| It didn't take long for the first misunderstanding regarding relationships to appear. Kuno was so adamant to take on Ranma's boy form that in the process he fell in love with the girl one. I wonder how will that affect Akane who has to deal with idiots every day she goes to school. Certainly a good fighting start to the school scenario. |

@0451 i hope there will be a second cour to ranma so we can see the other characters
| @Elior21 There will be. You can see a lot of characters in the key visual who won't appear in the first cour. So it's a given that there will be at least another cour. Tho it's unknown if it'll air right after the first cour ends like Urusei Yatsura in Winter 2025 or if it'll be a split season. |
| once again there's nothing much i can add considering how well i remember the original series, but, still, i enjoyed the transition (pun intended) from girl to boy behind Genma's body in the gym warehouse, i still doubt about no girl wanting to date Kuno, and well, his scene directly declaring his love to the "pigtailed girl" will never get old. |
 |
| Amusing episode with amusing character interactions and liking the characters as well. Laughed when their relationship was announced to the world. |
 |
| So Kuno fell head over heels for the the female Ranma which I don't blame hime because female Ranma is hot. I wonder what his reaction would be when he finds out that both male and female versions of Ranma are the same person. |
 |
| Welp, Ranma and Akane just can't get along, let alone the father and son who always gets into reckless fights every now and then. And then there's the chiropractor of Dr. Tofu which clearly Akane is crushing for, let alone her school of Furinkan High School which every man challenges her daily like the norm. Of course, there's also Tatewaki Kuno, the classic Urusei Yatsura's Shutaro Mendo character leading the Kendo club, which he is clearly...not the challenge for Ranma, aside from the deteriorating bad weather. Akane having to face the onslaught of men, much less having their engagement rumour be spread around the school like wildfire...and most importantly, not letting his sex change be found out. And at the cusp of Kuno figuring out that Ranma is more than he assumes, Akane saved his ass, but they're not out of the woods with Kuno surely remembering whom the girl is now to issue a written letter of challenge to him through Akane. Instead of a fight, Ranma (as the girl) receiving Kuno's confession, what's he got to do about this now? |
