Ranma 1/2

This is the third anime series, following the first 18-episode series in 1989 and the second 143-episodes from 1989 - 1992.

This third series so far seem to follow the other TV anime versions in that it deviates from the manga series in some plot points.

So the question is: Why do we need yet another anime series? Yes, this one has updated visuals. Yes, many of the original voice actors are here. Yes, overall it's entertaining.

But I think - and this in my own preference - it would have been better to remake the three live-action films and the one live-action special into anime versions.

Or else to have this third anime series be more true to the original manga.

But if you're new to the Ranma story, then yes please enjoy this new anime series.
