    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.

    Ranma's Back YAY

    This reboot is awesome. Its the same story as before. A boy named Ranma Saotome who is a martal artist falls in to the cursed spring of the dead girl. When ever he is hit by cold water he becomes a girl. He mush be hit by warm water to become a boy again. He is forced into an arranged marrage with a girl named Akane Tendo. Akane and Ranma have a love hate relatanionship that is exasperated by the arranged marrage. Several other characters are in love with Ranma and Akane respectivly. There is a martal art for litteerally everything. In the original Japanese version the original actors returned. In the English version we got brand new voice actors. I am so used to the orignal dub actors and I like them the best but the new actors are great too.

    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!

    Ranma 1/2

    This is a childhood favorite of mine. I am lucky to understand Japanese and watch it in Japanese so to hear the original actors voices again has me feeling very nostalgic. The animation choice for the fight scene was interesting and the sound effect in Japanese on the screen like the manga was also interesting. It took me a second to get used to it. I am bummed they didn't keep Ranmas girl hair bright red. But I'm excited to watch the rest. I kept pulling up the original episode to compare and I think they did really well. I hope they are able to re do every episode and not just the 12 that they have planned.

    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.
