I think it says a lot about how much Ranma cares for Akane just by his willingness to go to China. He never put that much effort into lifting his own curse but the moment something happened to Akane he was ready to go
Don't forget, Ranma had been trained for 10 years with Gemna by travelling everywhere,... and Gemna is not a good person. We don't really see it in the first season (just stealing his son food, amazon food, hitting his son... yes 'just' this). It's litterally a very good reason to have Ramna so socially inept with Akane, I see ranma like a 12 year old child mentally.
all male characters are pathetic on purpose lol you can see why ranma doesn't waver from akane either, he doesn't like overly cute and clingy girls. when he insults akane that's him showing love lol he likes fighting with her, it's why that wakes akane up. it's like they're sparring. that's how ranma interacts with his family (genma) so it shows he's comfortable with akane. if she's toxic so is he, and she's just his brand of toxic lol but he can't handle women crying and has a huge ego that he starts to show here. he likes being popular even if he doesn't like the girls after him
@@SusieBlup then why are you mad at them for calling it out if you agree, their literally talking about how this girl remembers him by the insults, is violent with him but still chooses him over the other guy trying for her attention, its plenty toxic even if i understand its for laughs
Yeah, and now you see the dichotomy of why Ranma doesn't like any part of this, as his general disdain for the whole situation is also tinged with a certain amount of guilt. As much as he wants nothing to do with Shampoo and is truly offended by the bulk of her efforts to attain him (seriously, there are absolutely NO depths she won't lower herself to), there's a part of him that genuinely does feel sorry for her, because the Chinese Amazons are just two steps above a CULT, basically. While the series will occasionally nod in the direction that what Shampoo feels for him is something real, at the end of the day, she doesn't ACTUALLY comprehend what LOVE is. All she knows is the twisted definition of it that the tribe has been polluting her brain with for LITERALLY her entire life. Even Ranma, who has absolutely NO experience with, or understanding of women, thinks these Chinese Amazon laws are simply too damn caveman for anyone with a lick of common sense to be taking seriously, but it's how Shampoo was raised to believe the world works. Here's a girl who could get any other guy she wants, but instead, insists on hanging off of Ranma because she quite simply doesn't know any better. It's just a sad state of affairs for everyone involved.
@@ComradeArthur Well, anyone's welcome to TRY. But they'd better be willing to stake their life on the outcome. Because with this girl, it all comes down to one phrase... "She ain't pretty...she just LOOKS that way." 😅
19:57 I think you forget how Ranma treats her. If Ranma is nice, she's nice. She's not nice to him when he is hurt, she's nice when he shows her love.(Which he usually doesn't do and even denies with hurtful words. The ending song expresses that.) I think you might understand Akane's character more with the upcoming seasons. But calling it "toxic"?.At least she's not like the harmful shampoo Who doesn't care about Ranma's feelings.
Akane is indeed toxic because there are many moments in the manga and upcoming episodes when clearly it is not Ranma´s fault, and despite that, she decides to beat/hurt Ranma. However, Ranma is also toxic since he insults Akane to get her attention or to fight her back when she gets mad at him for any reason, so they are complementary.
@whattheflug2192 yeah I know, I don't hate any character is just that they were analyzing Akane's behavior and they were kind of right. I was just reaffirming it. 👍🏼
5:25 In the old anime, Ranma actually changed into girl to try moving Akane's memory. It didn't work, Akane was confused whether Ranma was a "disguised"... Also, at the end of the episode, Genma put a DJ set out of nowhere and played back Ranma's insults in loop, after Ryoga interrupted Ranma.
of course that doesn't happen in this remake, because around this part of the story is where they start to get VERY liberal on direction and start straying from the source.
As someone who watched the original anime when it was out, to this remake. I have really enjoyed the perspective from the both of you who are new to the series. I hope you keep it going when the second season starts! Thank you for the reactions.
@@Sesshomaru474speaking of the old anime, my favorite episode was when Ranma clunked his head and gets a personality reset thinking he's a woman. Unfortunately episode 49 isn't cannon so it won't be in the remake
I feel like Akane is all brute force, but no technique. In terms of Pokémon she’s like a high level Pokémon who still has the first 4 moves vs other Pokémon that have the moves that can actually change the battle
I think Akane could have handled Kodachi in a straight fight (see how even they were in her bedroom, or how quick she was to catch on to any of Kodachi's tricks and booby traps), but might have struggled against her on her turf (heck, Ranma did too) without a lot more time to practice. Shampoo is something else, though. The fact that even Ranma runs and hides from her when she's out to kill says a lot.
Akane's problem is "SHE'S JUST STRENGTH" She doesn't have Shampoo's Technique and Speed. And most other female rival will have something unique that beats Akane in a straight fight.
I'm probably gonna make haters for this, but this is literally the difference between Karate and Wushu. Karatekas are extremely strong, they can crush blocks of ice with their hands etc, but Wushu is way more subtle and technical. A Wushu master can easily demonstrate that a good technique can overcome a superior strength.
YeS! All men choose to ignore how Ranma is an insensitive jerk and that's why he gets beaten up by Akane (most of the time), then proceed to call Akane toxic. In the manga he's the biggest jerk, and deserves the beating 9/10 times, honestly.
Lol. Just wanna say. We see the same things you see in Ranma. We just don’t elaborate on it. I was pretty appalled by his name calling. In this very episode saying mean things to Akane. But i dont dwell on it. Its not the part of the show that i wanna talk about. I wanna talk about how awesome Shampoo is. I have no interest in men. So concern myself with which girl is more appealing if I was in Ranmas shoes. The entire feelings is from Ranma point of view. If was watching from Akanes point of view. Id have different takes. The show follows Ranma and his experiences with different people as a dude or a girl. Remember i also didnt care that the dude snuck a kiss on ranma. But was bothered when it happened to Akane. Lol. I am don’t really focus in Ranma and his antics lol. The exception is the Pig. Lol. P chan irritates me lol
Oh no, not you guys loving Shampoo 😢Maybe it's because I've already read the entire manga, but I find her character so despicable. Still, I get why people like her (… nah not really lol) I just can't vibe with her. Besides having a good character design, I really don’t vibe with her persistence and twisted metods. I feel the same way about her as y’all described Ryoga lol
The narrator is Kenichi Ogata, the original voice of Genma in the 1989 anime. He's the only VA to return from that one but not in the same role he originally played (most likekly because he's 82 years old now and sounds too old for Genma)
Akane is more glass cannon she's a pure strength fighter so Akane overpowers Ranma in strength only her only problem is she's too slow and clumsy to match up to other stronger fighters like Ranma and Shampoo.
She doesn't overpower Ranma in strength, remember how she thought Ryoga's strength was monstrous because of how heavy his umbrella was and later we saw Ranma lift it effortlessly in girl form?
The reason why some people think Akane is stronger than Ranma is because of the scene where she gives a heavy bag of rice to Ranma and Ranma is surprised by its weight. I don't know what was the point of that scene either.
You two understand the chemistry of the series. Good video. I look forward to your reviews when season 2 comes out, which has already been announced to being greenlit.
"Does that mean she would have lost the ice fight if they didn't intervene?" By herself? Against two people? Yes. And she wouldn't have been jumped. She would have lost by DQ, because she didn't have a partner.
Glad to see how much you appreciate *BEST GIRL* Shampoo. Diff between Shampoo and Akane is they'll both lay down their life for Ranma... But Shampoo is strong enough to make a difference and Akane will need to be rescued. If Mappa doesn't keep pumping out seasons (OG had 96 episodes and multiple OVAs and movies) will you react to the original? Same VAs!!
Regarding strength: For the characters you saw so far. Ranma and Ryoga (male forms) are overall the strongest ( I may give a slight edge to ranma but it is competitive) I think Shampoo is second because like Ranma she combines speed, technique and power in perfect harmony ( Kuno may be considered equal to her but it is not proven , and I am not convinced ). Third place i will put Kodachi and Akane.
At this point of the story (to be changed when other characters will come): I'd put ranma, shampoo and ryoga as 1st class fighters, with ryoga being the weakest because contrary to the other two he's self trained. akane and kuno are 2nd class, because while strong, they can't put a fight against 1st class. kodachi and the ice skaters are 3rd class, because they're not "pure" fighters, but they need a gimmick to compete with the above classes. The fathers are somewhat between 1st and 2nd, they get defeated easily, but they're out of their game... When genma actively train he can give ranma a run for his money.
Ryoga is stronger than Ranma but Ranma is faster and has better techniques. Ranma's strength is still significantly higher than most other characters though.
1:30 Come to think of it, Akane never develops superpowers or ultimate techniques. I can't remember her beating any named character other than Kuno, who also never developed superpowers beyond what we have already seen, unless it was for the sake of slapstick. Krillin is a good comparison, he can body any nameless alien but come DBZ, he had trouble against any named character.
@@navifairy6287 There's two manga arcs (as far as I can remember) regarding that...but I'll leave it right there...whether or not it gets animated for the remake, is yet to be seen...
@@CioChoux It has been a while since I read the manga and I have too many things I need to read to go back. A magic item or two I can recall but I can't think of any powers or the like.
I like the show but I wish Akane was closer to Ranma’s level, strength-wise. She keeps getting sidelined for the bigger fights and she should be in the mix.
Strength-wise, she sorta is at par if not stronger; but skill-wise (speed, technique), she is indeed quite behind... . . . . . There is a couple of manga chapters that touch on that (where Akane gets some sort of power-up), but not sure if it will get animated and one of the more significant (in a sense) Akane-power-up "episodes" is almost towards the end of the manga. ((I hope this isnt too spoilery...))
I understand what you mean But for the big fights later (I'll try to say it without spoilers)Akane will be Ranma's biggest help. Even when there are those stronger than her by his side, they still stand in his way. The writer was brilliant with this.
As a Ryoga fan, You are right on point. Especially this early in the series when he's at his worst. He's somewhat dangerous to deal with but mostly funny and pathetic. He's there to highlight Ranma and show that despite his mouth he is a much better dude. This finale was a great Highlight for Shampoo. Makes for a strong ending... can't wait for the next season
@@bushramohamed7453 Oh I know, he definitely gets better, He's my fav for a reason. But Season 1 Ryoga is at his most confrontational/least helpful. The boys are first time watchers so didn't want to speak much future content.
I think your analysis is basically right. Akane is a good and totally competent fighter/martial artist but she's more of a regular person whereas ranma and the ridiculous people who come for him are amped up to 11 with absurd skill, beyond what ordinary people can deal with. I saw the original back in the day but my memory is super hazy so no idea if that changes. Will say they may have wanted Akane to have room to grow, and also rationale for his being protective of her. She's clearly got some special innate skill at kicking his ass though, which isn't (normally) easily done.
About strength: I think that Ranma is way stronger than any other character. Ryouga is the character with more raw power but his speed and technique is way lower than ranma. Kuno is like Ryoga but weaker. Kodachi is not strong at all but is nimble. The ice skating pair are strong in an ice skating match but in a normal fight they are kuno level at max Akane has raw strength but has no speed at all so most enemies just dodge her. Shampoo has strength, speed and special techniques but less than Ranma. She might be the second strongest fighter between her and Ryouga
This is the reason why they were able to put out a Ranma fightinf game back in the day (recall one of the earlier episode intros for this remake where they made it seem like a 32-bit?/64-bit video game)
I’ve been watching this show since the original back in the 90s, but your whole discussion on Ryoga at the end there just made me think of something. Is Ranma the only character that knows about Ryoga’s P-Chan transformation? I mean, maybe we can also include Genma (Ranma’s dad) and the Chinese tour guide at Jusenkyou (the cursed hot springs). But, does this mean Genma’s dad is also complicit in Ryoga’s sleeping in Akane’s room situation, or is he somehow clueless? Maybe he forgot about the pig? And Ryoga kind of lives with the Saotome family now, right? He’s just stuck in P-chan form most of the time when there’s no action or drama going on? This boy has very questionable boundaries.
Why they're keep blaming Akane when Ranma is verbally abusive against her? She only could remember him because his insults 😭 they both toxic. Ranma is not a victim here, he's always instigating Akane.
He leaves her alone more often then not if you actually go back and see the episodes She fot mad at him for being a dude when she thought he was a girl so he defended himself She assumed he was jealous of a pig when he kept trying to say its ryoga He was supportive of her crush on tofu seeing he's the only guy that doesnt piss her off When the dude from the last arc tried kissing her without consent he intervened and she joked about him being jealous(but that time wasnt a fight just two people not being honest) And when shampoo showed up and kissed him she blamed him Every one of their fights is started by her
@@sdbzfan1leave her alone? gawd, he'd rather have a fight with her than let her completely ignore him. a)she's not mad bcs he's a dude, she's shocked that there's a random guy taking a bath at HER home and both are pretty obviously vulnerable b)she did assumed he was jelly at first but brushed it off as she felt "it was impossible" but completely took back the idea when she caught him sneaking in, circumstances says "you can't know he's ryoga yet" addition to that was ranma's promise to not tell anyone ryoga's curse, thus the sneaking in to get ryoga out of akane's room happened, but lets not forget that sometimes he gives subtle signs that p-chan is nearby, more like "im gonna give signs, you figure it out" kinda thing c)could be taken as ranma supporting her crush towards doc, but as i see it, he's poking around "supporting crush" but deep inside he wants a confirmation out of her that she's really into the doc, let's be honest, he kept mentioning the doc the whole episode, that poke something in him d)agree w you, they're not being honest, that's what's tsundere is being about, and both are idiots wanting to protect each other so they always end up having a banter e)again, tsundere, plus they all thought it's gonna be a kiss of death too like what he had as a girl, not a kiss of marriage, so they all had the idea of them being familiar to them being lovers before akane, can't feel she wanted to reconcile right after her lashing out at the dummy? and then seeing her fiance saying incoherent things while letting shampoo hug him, slap isn't enough if i were her honestly i thought there won't be misunderstandings as mappa perfectly laid it out than needing a lot of comprehension in the manga
There's 3 tiers of power levels in Ranma ½. The Legendary Tier has 2 people we will meet on season 2 The next tier down has Ranma, Ryoga and Shampoo The last tier has everyone else and Akane is the strongest out of that group
@@willpina Kuno and Ukyo would be in the bottom half of the Ranma tier, they both have feats Akane can't match at all, but still get bodied by the top of that group(Ranma/Ryoga).

Akane was the greatest martial artist in a school that specializes in sports as martial arts - and probably in all of Nerima. Until OP Ranma shows up - as a girl as well as a guy. Then Ryouga shows up with his raw power. Then Kodachi. And finally came Shampoo. That was the last straw. In the OG anime she, out-classed, came across as somebody who had developed an inferiority complex. I hope they do better by her in this anime version Congratulations on her perceptive you are, picking up on what's happening really early in the episode The doctor understood what his "nurse-in-training" did to Akane and followed her to the Tendous Dr. Toufuu is not just a chiropractor. "Acupuncture" is on his clinic's sign. Shiatsu is a form of acupressure. If have faith that he would have informed Ranma and company that, combined with the 119 Shampoo, he could have cured Akane's selective amnesia. Of course, with the book destroyed, he couldn't cure her himself The shampoo numbers are puns. In Japan, 110 is the phone number for the police, while 119 is for the fire department and emergencies After ten years, martial arts are trained well past Ranma's subconscious and into his brain stem and cerebellum. Despite what they do to him, he still has the Japanese impulse to respect his elders, in this case, the Two Fathers Akane would notice if the naked pig became aroused in her arms. But it doesn't, because his human male mind has to sit in the porcine brain driving a little pig body In a later manga chapter it is revealed that P-chan pays a price for sleeping in Akane's bed. The martial artist fights in her dreams. Ryouga is P-chan for the same reason that Genma prefers to be a panda, their cuter and people like them better than when they are human. As you said, an opportunist. That said, Ryouga becomes a fan favorite with some and mellows somewhat. He doesn't ever take advantage of any girl but Akane...but the pigtailed girl often takes advantage of him when in a flimsy disguise
na, lol...I can call pancakes delicious...and that doesn't mean waffles aren't also delicious...it just means i'm focued on talking about pancakes lol. I can say the sky the sky cloud is white...but that doesn't mean...its the only things white...but i'm talking about clouds...lol...
22:56 all this Ryuga? As an old fan, I can assure you that our Ryuga is innocent and silly. 😂❤ And even kind on the inside. He's kinder than you think. Unlike shampoo, you will be surprised by him next season. But understand that the female competitor entertains you more than the male competitor.😅🤣
also shampoo is nowhere near ryoga and ranma like the comments say lol no girl is, but she's meant to be far stronger than other female characters since she's an amazon
I hope they don't do like the old anime and skip the next character. Given all that you guys have said about Ryoga, I'd love to see what you think about this guy... 😂
I agree. On some reaction videos, I had to argue with some commenters about it because they're all Shampoo simps. Sure, they're used to the old anime but at the same time, I felt they were disrespecting Takahashi-sensei's intended sequence. I also expect the new character be introduced at the beginning of S2 before Shampoo shows up again.
@@adrimarsink I do like him 😆 for me He is so funny. I was so sad that he appears in the old anime in .. I guess it was an episode over 100 or so. So really really late
@@SusieBlup he is really frustrating but he's so funny at the same time, he add so much more spice to the story. This Manga is just pure chaos and I love it. 🤣
Akane gets power crept early. We see her first day doing martial arts gymnastics where she does terribly, but she's competent in a week. This shows skill, but she'd lose to Kodachi's cheating. She's a better skater than Ranma & Ryouga, but we don't really see her fight. As more characters are introduced, their unusual fighting styles put her at a disadvantage. I've always seen her as a Yamcha type; Krillin gets pulled along by 18 & keeps him in the game.
I guess that might be more technique creep rather than power creep. Yeah, I’m pretty sure Akane would wreck Kodachi in a clean fight, but Kodachi doesn’t do that.
@@0okamino Akane did pretty okay against Kodachi when they had their little fight in her room, she'd most likely be able to hold her own pretty okay in the ring.
Shampoo was so popular back during the original manga run of Ranma, that they introduced her early in the anime to help with the first season's ratings.
Now we have to wait an unknown time for season 2. can you watch in this time the old anime of Ranma ? I would like to see your reaction of this. It’s even funnier than the remake ❤
@ ohh that would be sooo great. You will laugh a lot !! And from the second season onward, there are a lot of changes anyway. Since MAPPA is sticking to the manga, the old version often diverges in its developments from the manga, especially from the point where Shampoo disappears. As I’ve already mentioned-you’re going to love it. There are so many funny moments in the old anime that have now been left out 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
These 12 episodes have really flown by! Well, it’s that old relationship between time and having fun. Despite it looking like Shampoo won that fight with Akane, I’d have to say it was really… _a bit of wash._ 😁
I get that Ryoga isnt a fan of Ranma But my god is it annoying when he doesnt wanna help, like bruh, this man could wet you at night and get you exposed but he settles for little snarky remarks and you still act like Ranma the villian, when you sleeping naked next to his girl
I feel like the power scaling in this show is just what ever is funniest in the moment things like ryoga barly grazing ranma did serious damage to ranma kicking his ase effortlessly. But i hope we dont have to years for season 2 this show is so funny while the og exists id rather get the "new" content from this version. And ya Ryoga is truly a top teir hater.
I've known of the show's existence / known about the basic premise of it since at least 20 years ago, but I never actually saw any of it until the first few remake episodes were released. Then after watching those I heard that the original has been on Hulu and started watching it there and now I've already finished it all. (Although I guess there are OVA episodes and a few movies that could be tracked down somewhere out there?) Of course, a lot of comments have been saying that the original show strayed from the manga source material in a lot of ways and that this remake is being more faithful to the manga. I'm not going to look too deep into what the differences are, so just about anything that I now know about it from the original show could turn out to be irrelevant in the future of the remake. But yeah, the show just feeds on chaos. It's like the opposite of plot armor, or something. Things will happen or not happen on the whims of the writers' sense of humor. Hm, the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit just popped into my head. The scene where Roger and Eddie had been stuck handcuffed together for a while and Eddie was trying to saw through the cuffs and then Roger just randomly slips free on his own. "You mean you coulda got outta those cuffs at any time?!" "No, not at any time! Only when it was funny!"
CAN I JUST SAY I LOVE YOUR REACTION?!!! I love how you said that Shampoo got that perfect mix of yandere devotion and tsundere stubbornness-it’s like she’s ready to fight the world *and* Ranma for his love, but then turns around and gets adorably flustered for him. Her determination and loyalty are unmatched unlike Akane. Honestly Shampoo and Ranma are my OTP for life. Their dynamic is so fun and cute! Shampoo for life!
@@ftu2021 Huh I always hear 告別 not 別離 which means the same but has different context that I have no idea on since I hear a lot of goodbyes instead of farewells.
@@waserapfelz3112 It does, actually. Men excuse women's flaws when they're attractive enough. It's a natural masculine trait and has nothing to do with being a simp. Please stop sounding like a virgin. Also, Ryoga never had the courage to show his feelings to Akane, whereas Shampoo never hid her feelings for Ranma. She made it obvious for everybody to see in plain dalight. That shows how much of a spineless coward Ryoga is in comparison to Shampoo. There is a huge difference between a spineless freak and an audacious freak. Shampoo clearly deserves more respect than Ryoga.
I like your take on things, the krillin, vegeta comparisons are really good lol. It's funny how coming back to Ranma after all these years I'm realising ryoga was not a good guy
And that's why she always been my favourite character! Shampoo 4 life! xD Also... Ryoga has some issues man... but at least he's consistent, not like some anime characters who turns into a pig(metaphorically) sometimes and other times acts normal.
I just want to point out to my comment from last episode when I said, she would make a name for herself. Literally was on the joke of her name and her techniques this episode. Also, she gets better as the story goes on.
Yeah, Akane 100% has the issue of being like Chi-Chi with a hint of Videl where if Ranma or the show at time didn't care about her, she'd be left in the dust. At least she'll get more moments to have an edge against Chi-Chi XD
I'm enjoying the remake a lot but I noticed that it's missing the comedic and drama vibe of the OG. Like the part when Ranma calling Akane uncute, the OG had panda randomly DJocking Ranma's recorded voice that made me LMAO. And the scene when Shampoo cried had more feels.. At first I thought it was just the nostalgia but after watching the OG again, it still retain the same vibe that I enjoyed. and yes i know it wasn't in the manga so they didn't adapt that but it was a cool addition in the anime
Shampoo working as a character: She is agreat rival to akane, and honestly, I am pretty sure she has the biggest shipping fandom of all of the alternative sutors in the series, not because fans genuinely want Ranma to choose her over Akane (It would never work for the story telling for that to happen) its that there are fans who see a strong female figure who genuinely seems like she would move heaven and earth for the male protagonist and wants little in return, where as Akane is just so stand offish with Ranma. And while that works narratively, in a story of a will they wont they and long term feeling development between the two characters, Shampoo offers to fit around Ranma like a glove, and she could fight for him against almost any character and win. And its painful to some fans to know she has no chance. Ranma is a good man. He has some maturing to do, but he is the definition of a good guy to many extent. Its hard not to have a part of you want to root for a girl like Shampoo when Akane inflicts physical harm on Ranma because thats how she only knows how to communicate. This is why Shampoo is in a lot of ways my favorite character. Plus you dont mess with her!
Yea... as someone who usually only supports canon ships, even from the OG era I've always liked Shampoo more. She's much more interesting and fun as a character and any male's crush towards Akane felt like it's because the story needed them to be, not because she's charming or anything like that. Btw while Shampoo is the best girl in general, there's another girl who'll be the best girl to be with Ranma more than Akane, hoping to see her in the 2nd season.

I think it says a lot about how much Ranma cares for Akane just by his willingness to go to China. He never put that much effort into lifting his own curse but the moment something happened to Akane he was ready to go
❤yes❤ its sad they ignore in their reaction all the good things Ranma did for Akane in this episode. Ranma showed pure love and care for her.
Ranma isn’t very good at heartfelt words, but he is VERY good at pissing people off on a deep, fundamental level.
I mean, Genma trained him that anything goes, and antagonizing gets more fight out of people
Don't forget, Ranma had been trained for 10 years with Gemna by travelling everywhere,... and Gemna is not a good person. We don't really see it in the first season (just stealing his son food, amazon food, hitting his son... yes 'just' this). It's litterally a very good reason to have Ramna so socially inept with Akane, I see ranma like a 12 year old child mentally.
People forget that Akane just reacts and responds to Ranma being a jerk. She's nice to everyone else.
She also responds to jealousy.
all male characters are pathetic on purpose lol you can see why ranma doesn't waver from akane either, he doesn't like overly cute and clingy girls. when he insults akane that's him showing love lol he likes fighting with her, it's why that wakes akane up. it's like they're sparring. that's how ranma interacts with his family (genma) so it shows he's comfortable with akane. if she's toxic so is he, and she's just his brand of toxic lol but he can't handle women crying and has a huge ego that he starts to show here. he likes being popular even if he doesn't like the girls after him
Hahaha. Good explanation without spoiling. Thank you
16:10 You call Akane toxic when she remembered who Ranma was by him insulting her 😭
Yes, isn't it?
I thought they would be shocked by Ranma's words but they chose to blame Akane.
Their relationship is pretty toxic if she remembers him by him being rude and not him being nice
@bushramohamed7453 It's weird bc it's not like they forgot about it when it happened just a few seconds ago lol
@sdbzfan1 I mean, by our standards yeah it kind of is, but this is just an anime so 🤷
@@SusieBlup then why are you mad at them for calling it out if you agree, their literally talking about how this girl remembers him by the insults, is violent with him but still chooses him over the other guy trying for her attention, its plenty toxic even if i understand its for laughs
Yeah, and now you see the dichotomy of why Ranma doesn't like any part of this, as his general disdain for the whole situation is also tinged with a certain amount of guilt. As much as he wants nothing to do with Shampoo and is truly offended by the bulk of her efforts to attain him (seriously, there are absolutely NO depths she won't lower herself to), there's a part of him that genuinely does feel sorry for her, because the Chinese Amazons are just two steps above a CULT, basically. While the series will occasionally nod in the direction that what Shampoo feels for him is something real, at the end of the day, she doesn't ACTUALLY comprehend what LOVE is. All she knows is the twisted definition of it that the tribe has been polluting her brain with for LITERALLY her entire life.
Even Ranma, who has absolutely NO experience with, or understanding of women, thinks these Chinese Amazon laws are simply too damn caveman for anyone with a lick of common sense to be taking seriously, but it's how Shampoo was raised to believe the world works. Here's a girl who could get any other guy she wants, but instead, insists on hanging off of Ranma because she quite simply doesn't know any better. It's just a sad state of affairs for everyone involved.
"I can fix her."
@@ComradeArthur Well, anyone's welcome to TRY. But they'd better be willing to stake their life on the outcome. Because with this girl, it all comes down to one phrase...
"She ain't pretty...she just LOOKS that way." 😅
19:57
I think you forget how Ranma treats her. If Ranma is nice, she's nice. She's not nice to him when he is hurt, she's nice when he shows her love.(Which he usually doesn't do and even denies with hurtful words. The ending song expresses that.)
I think you might understand Akane's character more with the upcoming seasons.
But calling it "toxic"?.At least she's not like the harmful shampoo Who doesn't care about Ranma's feelings.
I hear ya
Akane is indeed toxic because there are many moments in the manga and upcoming episodes when clearly it is not Ranma´s fault, and despite that, she decides to beat/hurt Ranma. However, Ranma is also toxic since he insults Akane to get her attention or to fight her back when she gets mad at him for any reason, so they are complementary.
@@AraragiSenpaiSay it’s just the 80s slapstick comedy style… it’s not meant to be taken seriously like Tom and Jerry pretty much
@whattheflug2192 yeah I know, I don't hate any character is just that they were analyzing Akane's behavior and they were kind of right. I was just reaffirming it. 👍🏼
5:25 In the old anime, Ranma actually changed into girl to try moving Akane's memory. It didn't work, Akane was confused whether Ranma was a "disguised"...
Also, at the end of the episode, Genma put a DJ set out of nowhere and played back Ranma's insults in loop, after Ryoga interrupted Ranma.
It's just a filler.
@@bushramohamed7453 Good filler
@@bushramohamed7453but a damn good one
of course that doesn't happen in this remake, because around this part of the story is where they start to get VERY liberal on direction and start straying from the source.
@@MikoYotsuya292 good filler, but at the same time I'm glad it wasn't included in the remake
As someone who watched the original anime when it was out, to this remake. I have really enjoyed the perspective from the both of you who are new to the series. I hope you keep it going when the second season starts! Thank you for the reactions.
In the old anime, we had a panda remixing Ranma's insults 😂
Wait they didn't do it for the remake? WTF that part was hilarious
@@Sesshomaru474speaking of the old anime, my favorite episode was when Ranma clunked his head and gets a personality reset thinking he's a woman. Unfortunately episode 49 isn't cannon so it won't be in the remake
This remake was so good can't wait for season 2.
@@comicsans6487 or just watch the original anime until then
I feel like Akane is all brute force, but no technique.
In terms of Pokémon she’s like a high level Pokémon who still has the first 4 moves vs other Pokémon that have the moves that can actually change the battle
The Pokemon analogy. 🔥🔥🔥
I think Akane could have handled Kodachi in a straight fight (see how even they were in her bedroom, or how quick she was to catch on to any of Kodachi's tricks and booby traps), but might have struggled against her on her turf (heck, Ranma did too) without a lot more time to practice. Shampoo is something else, though. The fact that even Ranma runs and hides from her when she's out to kill says a lot.
Akane's problem is "SHE'S JUST STRENGTH"
She doesn't have Shampoo's Technique and Speed. And most other female rival will have something unique that beats Akane in a straight fight.
@@Kaimax61 I think she can beat kodachi in a straight fight, but other characters are too strong for her.
I'm probably gonna make haters for this, but this is literally the difference between Karate and Wushu. Karatekas are extremely strong, they can crush blocks of ice with their hands etc, but Wushu is way more subtle and technical. A Wushu master can easily demonstrate that a good technique can overcome a superior strength.
What the subtitles translate as "plain Jane" actually means "unsexy", something the dub apparently keeps in.
Yup. The interpretation is the same to me
I find very telling that most of Shampoo's stans are guys, and most of Akane's stans are women 😂
Thank goodness Rumiko is a woman 🤭
YeS! All men choose to ignore how Ranma is an insensitive jerk and that's why he gets beaten up by Akane (most of the time), then proceed to call Akane toxic. In the manga he's the biggest jerk, and deserves the beating 9/10 times, honestly.
Lol. Just wanna say. We see the same things you see in Ranma. We just don’t elaborate on it. I was pretty appalled by his name calling. In this very episode saying mean things to Akane. But i dont dwell on it. Its not the part of the show that i wanna talk about.
I wanna talk about how awesome Shampoo is.
I have no interest in men. So concern myself with which girl is more appealing if I was in Ranmas shoes.
The entire feelings is from Ranma point of view.
If was watching from Akanes point of view. Id have different takes.
The show follows Ranma and his experiences with different people as a dude or a girl.
Remember i also didnt care that the dude snuck a kiss on ranma. But was bothered when it happened to Akane.
Lol. I am don’t really focus in Ranma and his antics lol.
The exception is the Pig. Lol. P chan irritates me lol
@@bluecherry1011 funny pattern here huh? 🤔
Oh no, not you guys loving Shampoo 😢Maybe it's because I've already read the entire manga, but I find her character so despicable. Still, I get why people like her (… nah not really lol) I just can't vibe with her. Besides having a good character design, I really don’t vibe with her persistence and twisted metods. I feel the same way about her as y’all described Ryoga lol
Haha. That’s reasonable honestly
There are very few non-despicable major characters in this franchise (Kasumi, Tofu, Ukyo, Hinako).
I mean, she was created to be the female Ryoga, this physically powerful but psychopathic foil to Ranma & Akane's relationship.
The narrator is Kenichi Ogata, the original voice of Genma in the 1989 anime. He's the only VA to return from that one but not in the same role he originally played (most likekly because he's 82 years old now and sounds too old for Genma)
Ranma made a crack about Ryoga having "the mind of a pig" after finding out he sleeps in Akane's bed.
I love Ranma, the show is wonderful, I've always liked it since I was little. I really enjoyed your reactions!!! Thank you very much❤
seeing Shampoo cry because she thought the guy she loved wasn’t real was really sad. Glad that season 2 is announced right after the season ended.
Akane is more glass cannon she's a pure strength fighter so Akane overpowers Ranma in strength only her only problem is she's too slow and clumsy to match up to other stronger fighters like Ranma and Shampoo.
Akane is similar to Ryoga and Shampoo is closer to Ranma in fighting styles. Fun parrallels and oppositions all over the place in Ranma
While that is true, she doesn't surpass Ranma in strength..none of the other guys do except for Happosai and cologne and whatnot.
Akane beats up everyone when she sleeps and gets her potential unlocked.
She doesn't overpower Ranma in strength, remember how she thought Ryoga's strength was monstrous because of how heavy his umbrella was and later we saw Ranma lift it effortlessly in girl form?
The reason why some people think Akane is stronger than Ranma is because of the scene where she gives a heavy bag of rice to Ranma and Ranma is surprised by its weight. I don't know what was the point of that scene either.
You two understand the chemistry of the series.
Good video. I look forward to your reviews when season 2 comes out, which has already been announced to being greenlit.
"Does that mean she would have lost the ice fight if they didn't intervene?"
By herself?
Against two people?
Yes.
And she wouldn't have been jumped.
She would have lost by DQ, because she didn't have a partner.
Your discussions are always funny :D
Glad to see how much you appreciate *BEST GIRL* Shampoo.
Diff between Shampoo and Akane is they'll both lay down their life for Ranma...
But Shampoo is strong enough to make a difference and Akane will need to be rescued.
If Mappa doesn't keep pumping out seasons (OG had 96 episodes and multiple OVAs and movies) will you react to the original? Same VAs!!
Regarding strength:
For the characters you saw so far.
Ranma and Ryoga (male forms) are overall the strongest ( I may give a slight edge to ranma but it is competitive)
I think Shampoo is second because like Ranma she combines speed, technique and power in perfect harmony ( Kuno may be considered equal to her but it is not proven , and I am not convinced ).
Third place i will put Kodachi and Akane.
At this point of the story (to be changed when other characters will come):
I'd put ranma, shampoo and ryoga as 1st class fighters, with ryoga being the weakest because contrary to the other two he's self trained.
akane and kuno are 2nd class, because while strong, they can't put a fight against 1st class.
kodachi and the ice skaters are 3rd class, because they're not "pure" fighters, but they need a gimmick to compete with the above classes.
The fathers are somewhat between 1st and 2nd, they get defeated easily, but they're out of their game... When genma actively train he can give ranma a run for his money.
Ryoga is stronger than Ranma but Ranma is faster and has better techniques. Ranma's strength is still significantly higher than most other characters though.
1:30 Come to think of it, Akane never develops superpowers or ultimate techniques. I can't remember her beating any named character other than Kuno, who also never developed superpowers beyond what we have already seen, unless it was for the sake of slapstick. Krillin is a good comparison, he can body any nameless alien but come DBZ, he had trouble against any named character.
@@navifairy6287 There's two manga arcs (as far as I can remember) regarding that...but I'll leave it right there...whether or not it gets animated for the remake, is yet to be seen...
@@CioChoux It has been a while since I read the manga and I have too many things I need to read to go back. A magic item or two I can recall but I can't think of any powers or the like.
@@navifairy6287 There's always a magic item or two for everything in this show😂🤭
this anime certainly is havin an effect on Lee if the background image is changing often throughout the episode
Haha. Its worth the extra time. Glad you notice the effort. Sometimes i just dont care that much ahaha haha. Highly invested in this one
@@YaBoyRockLee I respect that!
@@YaBoyRockLee Personally I never leave a comment about it, but I always notice it lol.
I like the show but I wish Akane was closer to Ranma’s level, strength-wise. She keeps getting sidelined for the bigger fights and she should be in the mix.
Strength-wise, she sorta is at par if not stronger; but skill-wise (speed, technique), she is indeed quite behind...
.
.
.
.
.
There is a couple of manga chapters that touch on that (where Akane gets some sort of power-up), but not sure if it will get animated and one of the more significant (in a sense) Akane-power-up "episodes" is almost towards the end of the manga.
((I hope this isnt too spoilery...))
Akane is a normie while the others are the master at their craft.
I understand what you mean But for the big fights later (I'll try to say it without spoilers)Akane will be Ranma's biggest help. Even when there are those stronger than her by his side, they still stand in his way. The writer was brilliant with this.
@@bushramohamed7453I get that--Akane is written to have a different kind of strength...

her faith/support in Ranma through his downtimes.
@@CioChoux Yes, she has some nice moments supporting Ranma
As a Ryoga fan, You are right on point. Especially this early in the series when he's at his worst. He's somewhat dangerous to deal with but mostly funny and pathetic. He's there to highlight Ranma and show that despite his mouth he is a much better dude.
This finale was a great Highlight for Shampoo. Makes for a strong ending... can't wait for the next season
Ryuga is actually a good guy. In critical times, his true colors show (later )Reverse shampoo.
@@bushramohamed7453 Oh I know, he definitely gets better, He's my fav for a reason. But Season 1 Ryoga is at his most confrontational/least helpful. The boys are first time watchers so didn't want to speak much future content.
I think your analysis is basically right. Akane is a good and totally competent fighter/martial artist but she's more of a regular person whereas ranma and the ridiculous people who come for him are amped up to 11 with absurd skill, beyond what ordinary people can deal with. I saw the original back in the day but my memory is super hazy so no idea if that changes. Will say they may have wanted Akane to have room to grow, and also rationale for his being protective of her. She's clearly got some special innate skill at kicking his ass though, which isn't (normally) easily done.
Appreciate it along with your insight
About strength:
I think that Ranma is way stronger than any other character.
Ryouga is the character with more raw power but his speed and technique is way lower than ranma.
Kuno is like Ryoga but weaker.
Kodachi is not strong at all but is nimble.
The ice skating pair are strong in an ice skating match but in a normal fight they are kuno level at max
Akane has raw strength but has no speed at all so most enemies just dodge her.
Shampoo has strength, speed and special techniques but less than Ranma. She might be the second strongest fighter between her and Ryouga
You forgot mousse! I believe it is stronger than shampoo.
@@bushramohamed7453 Mousse is just RANDOM SHIT GOOOO
This is the reason why they were able to put out a Ranma fightinf game back in the day (recall one of the earlier episode intros for this remake where they made it seem like a 32-bit?/64-bit video game)
@@bushramohamed7453 yeah but he isn't on this season that's why I don't put the gremlins or count any power ups from later in the series
I guess she's not a No Tears Shampoo.
Yet, at the same time, she is certainly not at all harsh on the eyes.
3:45 it's gotta be on purpose 😂
I'm in my 40s. Hearing y'all discuss & dissect Ranma1/2 characters & storylines at the end of 2024 is so dope. Cannot wait for S2.
Cant wait either . Thank you.
I’ve been watching this show since the original back in the 90s, but your whole discussion on Ryoga at the end there just made me think of something. Is Ranma the only character that knows about Ryoga’s P-Chan transformation?
I mean, maybe we can also include Genma (Ranma’s dad) and the Chinese tour guide at Jusenkyou (the cursed hot springs). But, does this mean Genma’s dad is also complicit in Ryoga’s sleeping in Akane’s room situation, or is he somehow clueless? Maybe he forgot about the pig? And Ryoga kind of lives with the Saotome family now, right? He’s just stuck in P-chan form most of the time when there’s no action or drama going on?
This boy has very questionable boundaries.
Why they're keep blaming Akane when Ranma is verbally abusive against her? She only could remember him because his insults 😭 they both toxic. Ranma is not a victim here, he's always instigating Akane.
He leaves her alone more often then not if you actually go back and see the episodes
She fot mad at him for being a dude when she thought he was a girl so he defended himself
She assumed he was jealous of a pig when he kept trying to say its ryoga
He was supportive of her crush on tofu seeing he's the only guy that doesnt piss her off
When the dude from the last arc tried kissing her without consent he intervened and she joked about him being jealous(but that time wasnt a fight just two people not being honest)
And when shampoo showed up and kissed him she blamed him
Every one of their fights is started by her
@@sdbzfan1 bro ALL OF THOSE POINTS WOULD BEEN EASILY DISSOLVED IF HE TALKED TO AKANE RATHER THAN INSULTING HER
Because Akane is an awful woman that no one likes
@@whattheflug2192 She lost any right to a healthy dialogue when she resorted to violence like a barbarian.
@@sdbzfan1leave her alone? gawd, he'd rather have a fight with her than let her completely ignore him.
a)she's not mad bcs he's a dude, she's shocked that there's a random guy taking a bath at HER home and both are pretty obviously vulnerable
b)she did assumed he was jelly at first but brushed it off as she felt "it was impossible" but completely took back the idea when she caught him sneaking in, circumstances says "you can't know he's ryoga yet" addition to that was ranma's promise to not tell anyone ryoga's curse, thus the sneaking in to get ryoga out of akane's room happened, but lets not forget that sometimes he gives subtle signs that p-chan is nearby, more like "im gonna give signs, you figure it out" kinda thing
c)could be taken as ranma supporting her crush towards doc, but as i see it, he's poking around "supporting crush" but deep inside he wants a confirmation out of her that she's really into the doc, let's be honest, he kept mentioning the doc the whole episode, that poke something in him
d)agree w you, they're not being honest, that's what's tsundere is being about, and both are idiots wanting to protect each other so they always end up having a banter
e)again, tsundere, plus they all thought it's gonna be a kiss of death too like what he had as a girl, not a kiss of marriage, so they all had the idea of them being familiar to them being lovers before akane, can't feel she wanted to reconcile right after her lashing out at the dummy? and then seeing her fiance saying incoherent things while letting shampoo hug him, slap isn't enough if i were her
honestly i thought there won't be misunderstandings as mappa perfectly laid it out than needing a lot of comprehension in the manga
There's 3 tiers of power levels in Ranma ½.
The Legendary Tier has 2 people we will meet on season 2
The next tier down has Ranma, Ryoga and Shampoo
The last tier has everyone else and Akane is the strongest out of that group
I would put Kuno pretty high on the last tier, though he does vary a lot. Nonetheless, he’s definitely no slouch in damage potential with a bokken.
@0okamino I agree... I'm not sure if I would rank a certain spatula user in the Ranma or Akane tier 🤔
@@willpina Kuno and Ukyo would be in the bottom half of the Ranma tier, they both have feats Akane can't match at all, but still get bodied by the top of that group(Ranma/Ryoga).
How did the fans handle it? Ship wars like yall have never seen.
This was quite the somber way to end the 1st Season (gonna miss her), but I can’t wait until Season 2 (TBA) will come out
It was fun to see you guys reacting, hope see you in the next season. Ranma will bring more Random characters and plots in the upcoming episodes. 😂✌

Akane was the greatest martial artist in a school that specializes in sports as martial arts - and probably in all of Nerima. Until OP Ranma shows up - as a girl as well as a guy. Then Ryouga shows up with his raw power. Then Kodachi. And finally came Shampoo. That was the last straw. In the OG anime she, out-classed, came across as somebody who had developed an inferiority complex. I hope they do better by her in this anime version
Congratulations on her perceptive you are, picking up on what's happening really early in the episode
The doctor understood what his "nurse-in-training" did to Akane and followed her to the Tendous
Dr. Toufuu is not just a chiropractor. "Acupuncture" is on his clinic's sign. Shiatsu is a form of acupressure. If have faith that he would have informed Ranma and company that, combined with the 119 Shampoo, he could have cured Akane's selective amnesia. Of course, with the book destroyed, he couldn't cure her himself
The shampoo numbers are puns. In Japan, 110 is the phone number for the police, while 119 is for the fire department and emergencies
After ten years, martial arts are trained well past Ranma's subconscious and into his brain stem and cerebellum. Despite what they do to him, he still has the Japanese impulse to respect his elders, in this case, the Two Fathers
Akane would notice if the naked pig became aroused in her arms. But it doesn't, because his human male mind has to sit in the porcine brain driving a little pig body
In a later manga chapter it is revealed that P-chan pays a price for sleeping in Akane's bed. The martial artist fights in her dreams. Ryouga is P-chan for the same reason that Genma prefers to be a panda, their cuter and people like them better than when they are human. As you said, an opportunist. That said, Ryouga becomes a fan favorite with some and mellows somewhat. He doesn't ever take advantage of any girl but Akane...but the pigtailed girl often takes advantage of him when in a flimsy disguise
Akane is the toxic one? Are you forgetting what Ranma does to her like half the time? 😅
Bro Shampoo was never an option to Ranma. You’ll see why in the later episodes 😂
na, lol...I can call pancakes delicious...and that doesn't mean waffles aren't also delicious...it just means i'm focued on talking about pancakes lol. I can say the sky the sky cloud is white...but that doesn't mean...its the only things white...but i'm talking about clouds...lol...
@@YaBoyRockLee okay?
17:34 why you biting your lips bruh? 😭😭
😂😂😂
22:56
all this Ryuga? As an old fan, I can assure you that our Ryuga is innocent and silly. 😂❤
And even kind on the inside. He's kinder than you think.
Unlike shampoo, you will be surprised by him next season.
But understand that the female competitor entertains you more than the male competitor.😅🤣
Yea. Haha. We are as shamelessly biased towards females
also shampoo is nowhere near ryoga and ranma like the comments say lol no girl is, but she's meant to be far stronger than other female characters since she's an amazon
I hope they don't do like the old anime and skip the next character.
Given all that you guys have said about Ryoga, I'd love to see what you think about this guy... 😂
Poor Ryoga
I agree. On some reaction videos, I had to argue with some commenters about it because they're all Shampoo simps. Sure, they're used to the old anime but at the same time, I felt they were disrespecting Takahashi-sensei's intended sequence.
I also expect the new character be introduced at the beginning of S2 before Shampoo shows up again.
You mean the voodoo guy? 😆
@@karina.ko1 Yup. The voodoo guy. I'm not a fan but dude deserves justice for his intended part of the story😂
@@adrimarsink I do like him 😆 for me
He is so funny. I was so sad that he appears in the old anime in .. I guess it was an episode over 100 or so. So really really late
Really hope they make it to the Breaking Point and the Shishi Hokodan storylines as those were the peak Ryoga moments.
As a Ryoga fan I approve this Comment :)
Damn cant wait for season 2 i hope will meet the grand amazon and the anything goes martial art grand master.
yeah it's gonna be funny.
I'm looking forward more to the okonomi cook.
I really don't want to get to Happosai he's horrible 😩
@@SusieBlup he is really frustrating but he's so funny at the same time, he add so much more spice to the story. This Manga is just pure chaos and I love it. 🤣
@@SusieBlup Heck, that's the reason I wanna see it! I'm curious how they'll handle him in this day and age.
Akane gets power crept early. We see her first day doing martial arts gymnastics where she does terribly, but she's competent in a week. This shows skill, but she'd lose to Kodachi's cheating. She's a better skater than Ranma & Ryouga, but we don't really see her fight. As more characters are introduced, their unusual fighting styles put her at a disadvantage. I've always seen her as a Yamcha type; Krillin gets pulled along by 18 & keeps him in the game.
I guess that might be more technique creep rather than power creep. Yeah, I’m pretty sure Akane would wreck Kodachi in a clean fight, but Kodachi doesn’t do that.
@@0okamino Akane did pretty okay against Kodachi when they had their little fight in her room, she'd most likely be able to hold her own pretty okay in the ring.
Season 2 can't wait it will be great
👏👏 1st season (cour?) wrapped, two men came to watch and two men left 1/2 straight, that means the season cooked 🤣
Expert brainwashing by Shampoo
@@emperorkalan lol
Hope you guys check out the Urusei Yatsura remake at some point
Shampoo was so popular back during the original manga run of Ranma, that they introduced her early in the anime to help with the first season's ratings.
Hope you will react retro openings and endings. I think you can check the manga too, its a classic.
the amazon sutra need a Version 2.0 with an appendix that say ¨what to do if the woman that defeat you turns into a men and vice versa¨
Now we have to wait an unknown time for season 2. can you watch in this time the old anime of Ranma ? I would like to see your reaction of this. It’s even funnier than the remake ❤
Great idea. Will cover as much content as we can that The Collective wants to see the most 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@ ohh that would be sooo great. You will laugh a lot !! And from the second season onward, there are a lot of changes anyway. Since MAPPA is sticking to the manga, the old version often diverges in its developments from the manga, especially from the point where Shampoo disappears.
As I’ve already mentioned-you’re going to love it. There are so many funny moments in the old anime that have now been left out 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Bye Shampoo my girl
best human wrecking ball 💣 🚜
These 12 episodes have really flown by! Well, it’s that old relationship between time and having fun.
Despite it looking like Shampoo won that fight with Akane, I’d have to say it was really… _a bit of wash._ 😁
Akane whoops the average guy but any relevant character is stronger than her
Ryoga is my favorite character but nothing you said is wrong
I get that Ryoga isnt a fan of Ranma
But my god is it annoying when he doesnt wanna help, like bruh, this man could wet you at night and get you exposed but he settles for little snarky remarks and you still act like Ranma the villian, when you sleeping naked next to his girl
Akane is just a normie in this world while the others are the master in their craft, let's think this way.
She's an above-average normie---or else all the other clubs wouldn't have wanted to recruit her. Her sisters are more "normie".
Nah she’s also a freak of nature. Remember she would body all the boys in her school on a daily basis?
Ranma and the others have been training all their lives so it makes sense.
Is good to share this type of anime. :3 Op Still missing a lot of episode. Ranma 1/2 is a hit with plenty of episodes
17:34 Ayo bro?
I feel like the power scaling in this show is just what ever is funniest in the moment things like ryoga barly grazing ranma did serious damage to ranma kicking his ase effortlessly. But i hope we dont have to years for season 2 this show is so funny while the og exists id rather get the "new" content from this version. And ya Ryoga is truly a top teir hater.
I've known of the show's existence / known about the basic premise of it since at least 20 years ago, but I never actually saw any of it until the first few remake episodes were released. Then after watching those I heard that the original has been on Hulu and started watching it there and now I've already finished it all. (Although I guess there are OVA episodes and a few movies that could be tracked down somewhere out there?)
Of course, a lot of comments have been saying that the original show strayed from the manga source material in a lot of ways and that this remake is being more faithful to the manga. I'm not going to look too deep into what the differences are, so just about anything that I now know about it from the original show could turn out to be irrelevant in the future of the remake.
But yeah, the show just feeds on chaos. It's like the opposite of plot armor, or something. Things will happen or not happen on the whims of the writers' sense of humor.
Hm, the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit just popped into my head. The scene where Roger and Eddie had been stuck handcuffed together for a while and Eddie was trying to saw through the cuffs and then Roger just randomly slips free on his own. "You mean you coulda got outta those cuffs at any time?!" "No, not at any time! Only when it was funny!"
It's my understanding that we will get more episodes in three months.
CAN I JUST SAY I LOVE YOUR REACTION?!!! I love how you said that Shampoo got that perfect mix of yandere devotion and tsundere stubbornness-it’s like she’s ready to fight the world *and* Ranma for his love, but then turns around and gets adorably flustered for him. Her determination and loyalty are unmatched unlike Akane. Honestly Shampoo and Ranma are my OTP for life. Their dynamic is so fun and cute! Shampoo for life!
Kuno is the Yamcha
Shampoo 💜🌹😘
When Shampoo says bie lai she says don't come, which is basically don't follow.
no she said bie le which means farewell like Ryoga said
@@ftu2021 Huh I always hear 告別 not 別離 which means the same but has different context that I have no idea on since I hear a lot of goodbyes instead of farewells.
And thats Bie Li not Le.
@@hugoshen1410 you have hearing issue. It’s 别了
@@ftu2021 Eh again doesn't come up naturally in my day to day life but both is valid since there is three versions of it.
Ryoga gets better next season when he is write as rival and not a bumb in there house.
Now react to the original anime season 1 to compare
Is so funny how you guys adore Shampoo and hate Ryoga when she is 100% much worse and gross than him lol
Ryoga...is a man...
@@YaBoyRockLee so what? Shampoo is a manipulator and an abusive lunatic, being a woman doesn't make it less worse 💀💀
@@YaBoyRockLee what a simp response lmao, Shampoo is a total freak and being a girl doesn't make it any less bad 💀💀
@@waserapfelz3112 It does, actually. Men excuse women's flaws when they're attractive enough. It's a natural masculine trait and has nothing to do with being a simp. Please stop sounding like a virgin.
Also, Ryoga never had the courage to show his feelings to Akane, whereas Shampoo never hid her feelings for Ranma. She made it obvious for everybody to see in plain dalight. That shows how much of a spineless coward Ryoga is in comparison to Shampoo. There is a huge difference between a spineless freak and an audacious freak. Shampoo clearly deserves more respect than Ryoga.
@@ElonDusk-fw1lnAkane fans are all gross virgins tbh they are mad that people prefer Shampoo and not the abusive tomboy with short hair
Shampoo waifu material. Didn't expect to be heartbroken when she teared up.
I like your take on things, the krillin, vegeta comparisons are really good lol. It's funny how coming back to Ranma after all these years I'm realising ryoga was not a good guy
And that's why she always been my favourite character! Shampoo 4 life! xD
Also... Ryoga has some issues man... but at least he's consistent, not like some anime characters who turns into a pig(metaphorically) sometimes and other times acts normal.
Noooo best girl
Fun fact: remake opening singer favorite character is Shampoo.
12:35 I'm diving in 👀
I just want to point out to my comment from last episode when I said, she would make a name for herself. Literally was on the joke of her name and her techniques this episode. Also, she gets better as the story goes on.
Yeah, Akane 100% has the issue of being like Chi-Chi with a hint of Videl where if Ranma or the show at time didn't care about her, she'd be left in the dust. At least she'll get more moments to have an edge against Chi-Chi XD
You two are cultured the way y'all love and appreciate Shampoo aka best girl of the show is quite hilarious wait till season 2 y'all love her more
I'm enjoying the remake a lot but I noticed that it's missing the comedic and drama vibe of the OG. Like the part when Ranma calling Akane uncute, the OG had panda randomly DJocking Ranma's recorded voice that made me LMAO. And the scene when Shampoo cried had more feels.. At first I thought it was just the nostalgia but after watching the OG again, it still retain the same vibe that I enjoyed. and yes i know it wasn't in the manga so they didn't adapt that but it was a cool addition in the anime
SHAMPOO!! NO!! Despite Amazoness herself,she had a bad luck.
Shampoo working as a character: She is agreat rival to akane, and honestly, I am pretty sure she has the biggest shipping fandom of all of the alternative sutors in the series, not because fans genuinely want Ranma to choose her over Akane (It would never work for the story telling for that to happen) its that there are fans who see a strong female figure who genuinely seems like she would move heaven and earth for the male protagonist and wants little in return, where as Akane is just so stand offish with Ranma. And while that works narratively, in a story of a will they wont they and long term feeling development between the two characters, Shampoo offers to fit around Ranma like a glove, and she could fight for him against almost any character and win. And its painful to some fans to know she has no chance. Ranma is a good man. He has some maturing to do, but he is the definition of a good guy to many extent. Its hard not to have a part of you want to root for a girl like Shampoo when Akane inflicts physical harm on Ranma because thats how she only knows how to communicate. This is why Shampoo is in a lot of ways my favorite character. Plus you dont mess with her!
Yall should react to season 3 of sweet home
Agreed. Hopefully you vote for it on the next

Justice for best girl Shampoo
It's obvious that Ranma cares for Shampoo
Shampoo is official best girl
Shampoo will remain the best girl forever
I feel bad for Akane being on a show where another character completely outshines her
Yea... as someone who usually only supports canon ships, even from the OG era I've always liked Shampoo more. She's much more interesting and fun as a character and any male's crush towards Akane felt like it's because the story needed them to be, not because she's charming or anything like that. Btw while Shampoo is the best girl in general, there's another girl who'll be the best girl to be with Ranma more than Akane, hoping to see her in the 2nd season.
Yeah, I've always been team Shampoo. Sorry not sorry Akane.
You don't have to be sorry.😅
