    Ranma is 100% more faithful to the manga

    Everything is more faithful to the manga since the facial expressions, the fighting scenes are great, they did put an effort on it , there are a lot NOT real fans of Ranma who complained about the censorship (the manga wasn't about that) or colors of the hair of Ranma when is a girl ...but in the manga it wasn't a fact about that her hair color was red, Rumiko wasn't happy with the first Ranma 90's (for me was good) but it did have a lot of episodes that wasn't relevant to the real history, and never developed the essence of main couple romance. Support this anime, it's doing things right, we will LOVE the real finale of RUMIKO story and not the rushed ending they gave us in the 90s.

    It wasn't that bad but there Is lots to be desired!

    Personally I give the anime a full 8.5/10, It does recapture the Original anime and manga.

    My only complaints Are the voice performances They sound pretty wired because I watched the 90s anime and the dubs voice actors were quite amazing! To hear but hopefully I grow to like them!

    I do like the animation! And the way it's more like manga then the anime from 1989 I like The way that they are going with this!

    The Frist episode 1 was actually true to the original series and manga! I give it a. 9.5/10! Because on how it looks and the way it stuck true to the source material! And the story!

    Impressive I hope The series gets better so we can get this 8.5/10 to a 9/10!

    Great Comeback

    I watched Ranma when I was younger, so I was initially skeptical, as I'm not usually a fan of reboots. But this show truly knocks it out of the park! It stays true to the original source material while adding a fresh twist. The characters are super likeable without ever getting on your nerves. Some parts of the story are totally absurd, but that just makes it even more fun to watch!

    It's got humor, emotion, and tons of action. The charm of this series really shines through - it feels like the creators knew exactly what they wanted to bring to the table, and they nailed it. Great animation style and music too. I'm really enjoying it, and I'm sure anime fans will feel the same!

    It works! Great Rumiko Takahashi tribute

    I had my doubts about this one because the other recent reboot of a Rumic series, Urusei Yatsura, doesn't cut it since the humor is just too dated. For those too young to remember, Rumiko Takahashi was arguably the first female manga superstar back in the 1980s. There were female mangaka but they had been limited to genres specifically aiming at young women, Rumic was the first to become a mainstream craze (CLAMP came later). She's probably most famous for Inuyasha because it ran forever, Ranma 1/2 was a very successful manga but the anime only ran for two seasons. The story has the light zany characteristics of her work, teenagers trapped in gender-bending complicated romance constellations, but it's the constant action which make the manga - and this series - such a delight. For us older ones, it's a reminder that times back then were a lot less complicated, for the younger ones, enjoy! There is nothing to get mad about in this one.

    A remake that is more up to par and faithful to the manga than the original.

    Remakes have never been seen with good eyes.

    After all, there is a large legion of fans who do not like certain things being changed about their favorite characters, those with whom we grew up.

    Luckily, in recent times, we have seen some new versions that are quite up to par with the previous ones: "Rurouni Kenshin", "Trigun", "Dororo", further away in time "Hunter x Hunter" and "Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood".

    In this last item appears the new version of "Ranma" that back in the late 80s and early 90s many people loved.

    Animated by MAPPA, which is always a guarantee of quality and labor exploitation, we have an anime much more faithful to the manga than its predecessor.

    Less focused on fanservice and gratuitously showing bodies, this adaptation focuses more on comedy and the relationship between Ranma and Akane with all their adventures and misadventures.

    The usual supporting characters like Ryoga and Shampoo, plus new ones that didn't appear previously.

    A catchy opening and a decent ending, with animation that is very up to par.

    I think it ends up being a pleasant surprise this year and a good path to follow for other adaptations.

    Recommended for lovers of light and fluid plots without the usual annoying love triangles.
