Thread 282218877

The second season of Ranma 1/2's Demake by MAPPA comes out next month, it is going to be only 12 episodes long like the first one, they're skipping some chapters like the Tea Ceremony one and Mousse's VA is being recasted
Thoughts?
IMO at this point it feels like this series might only be 48 or so episodes long like the Urusei Yatsura remake so they might need to speedrun the manga by cherrypicking what to adapt (on top of heavily censoring the last arc) if they wanna get to to the end within those episodes

Mappa? more like Brappa

12 episodes a year for this is crazy. It's not even that well animated, and it's not like Ranma has much in terms of crazy direction to worry about.

How does this compare to the UY remake they did? That one felt like it lost some of the bite of the original version, which might have been down to a short leash on Rumiko's part as opposed to the OG's creative anarchy. I predicted they would get around to Ranma 1/2 as soon as Urusei Yatsura was announced, and now I assume Inuyasha is inevitable at some point.

>>282218877 (OP)
>Mousse's VA is being recasted
Isn't he the only one coming back?

>>282219306
They censored the nudity, added 2 anime original characters (a reporter and a cameraman) that explain all of the Ranma's fights, censored the word China, changed Ranma's dream so his female version won't be naked on it, Ranma doesn't seem to care about his curse all that much, added lots of dumb filters like the UY remake and so on

>>282219306
It's good as long as nipples aren't the only thing you care about.

>>282219388
>censored the word China
I though you weebs would be ecstatic about that.

>>282219388
>censored the word China
Weirdest one yet, they also censored Ranma's commie outfit

>>282219462
Nah, the art is a massive downgrade overall

>>282219388
Censored nudity is a shame, if not a terribly surprising one. Sounds a little dumb.
>>282219395
Thankfully not. How is the animation? I think I saw clips of the OP or a trailer at one point and it looked pretty choice.
>>282219520
Lack of China is one thing but the commie outfit going bye hurts the heart a little.

>>282219388

You're right, they censored it

Even if you stripped the nipples out of the OG, its S1 art quality would still be far superior (this from someone who prefers the remake designs).

OG anime did that too, though I think it was the rape panic and not the nudity in both cases.

Yeah, here's the announced VAs:

Happosai: Kazuhiko Inoue
Cologne: Ako Mayama
Gosunkugi: Akira Ishida

>>282218877 (OP)
Tired of all these remakes

>>282218877 (OP)
Tsubasa better be in the season. It's part of Ukyo's story and we need the femboy exposure.

>>282225359
The remake. But the original anime one is still better.

>>282231920
Considering how much they have to cover, it seems the season will conclude with Ukyo's introduction, so Tsubasa would eventually be in S3.

>>282231647
ai slop

>>282232725
A possibility I've considered but really hope it doesn't.

Mousse/Cologne=3-5 eps
Happosai=2-3 eps
Ukyo=3-4

i hope its like this. Or maybe the mousse thing wraps up in 3.

I just want more eps for Ukyo.

But seriously, Ranma needs to train a new gen of femboy enthusiasts. Astolfo cant do it all himself.

>>282233101
It's not like that, since we see footage from the Delivery girl race, the Romeo and Juliet arc and the Bakusai Tenketsu arc in the trailer. There's a shit ton of ground they have to cover.

The anime is adapting 4 volumes per cour. This next cour is clearly merging a few things, but based on trailers it will barely be outside that four volume limit, and it's mostly to construct a more focused narrative (Shampoo & Moose being the 'main characters' of the season).

I doubt it'll be 48 episodes based on an unrelated project operating with a completely different modus operandi. I imagine it will just be a several year long project wherein one cour is produced a year.
>inb4 "that's too long!"
MAPPA are the same company that dragged out "The Final Season" of Attack on Titan for five years. Netflix is bankrolling production and likely views Ranma as a longterm investment.

>>282233976
>The anime is adapting 4 volumes per cour.
What are you talking about, the trailer shows stuff from vol 5 all the way to vol 10.

In the manga the upcoming arcs are:
37-41: Neko-ken
42-50: Phoenix Pill
51-55: Bakusai Tenketsu
56-58: Tea ceremony
59-62: Delivery girl race
63-69: Happosai
70-73: Instant Nanniquan
74-77: Romeo and Juliet
78-80: Japanese Nanniquan
81-84: Kodachi's cookies
85-87: Ukyo
88-91: Ryoga and Akane's date
92-94: Magic bracelet
95-99: Duck Mousse

We know it's covering at least this chunk of material in some way, presumably skipping some of the less "important" arcs.

>>282218877 (OP)
I thought the major defense point for this was that it would be a more faithful adaptation or cover things the old didn't, without that it's just a watered down modernized version which feels pretty pointless

>>282234026
Seems it is, guess I didn't really notice.
But again, the arcs being skipped are all fairly obvious in their reasoning for being skipped and the anime is maintaining a very rigid beat by beat adaptation process beyond what is skipped.
To repost my own analysis of the trailer for a while back:
>For clarification, the first season adapted everything in volumes 1-4 to an obsessive degree. Logically, the content that would be adapted in an S2 would be the arcs from 5-8, which are:
>Neko-ken (C.37-40)
>Cat's Tongue (C.41-50)
>Breaking Point (C.51-55)
>Tea Ceremony (C.56-58)
>Miss Martial Arts Takeout Race (C.59-62)
>Happosai Awakens (various episodic things like the bath-house or panty stealing) (C.63-69)
>Dojo Destroyer (C.70-73)
>Romeo and Juliet (C.74-77)
>The Hidden Spring (C.78-80)

>In the trailer, we see:
>Neko-ken (C.37-40)
>Cat's Tongue (C.41-50)
>Miss Martial Arts Takeout Race (C.59-62)
>Happosai Awakens (C.63-69)
>Dojo Destroyer (C.70-73)
>Romeo and Juliet (C.74-77)
>"Okonomiyaki" Means "I Love You" (C.85-91)
>Mousse Returns (C.95-99)

The arcs being skipped are:
>Breaking Point (C.51-55)
Which just might have been excluded from the trailer or moved to after the Shampoo/Moose content.
>Tea Ceremony (C.56-58)
Obvious skip.
>The Hidden Spring (C.78-80)
Another obvious skip. Skipping this could possibly mean a greater skipping of the more episodic Happosai content in his greater arc as well.

Japanese Nanniquan was only three chapters? I swear the og anime adapted it into like four episodes. You can't tell at all either. What a masterpiece.

>>282242844
>In my book that streaming sites copium for "it wasn't successful as we wanted"
Nah, streaming sites always want something that can sustain longterm interest, because that can be a reason people stay subscribed.
Ranma is a weekly anime that would run through 3-4 months of subscription time depending on when the person starts up their sub. When it's ending, they might see something else, and then by the time the new season comes out, they'll stay on for another 3-4 months. That's the ideal for them.

>>282243881
>You can't tell at all either.
Nah, you can pretty clearly tell.
Anime went to shit after it got cancelled.

>>282243942
>Nah, streaming sites always want something that can sustain longterm interest, because that can be a reason people stay subscribed.
And things like Ranma won't. Nothing debatably will since streaming sustains in quantity over quality; once the initial momentum is gone so their subslaves' interest

What did Rumiko mean by this?

>>282243881
>I swear the og anime adapted it into like four episodes.
It was three episodes, but only the first actually adapts the story from the manga. They changed the ending from Ranma finding a note saying the Nanniquan had been closed down to him finding the first of three pots that would eventually create the Nanniquan, which allowed them to make up two anime-original episodes of them looking for the other pots and the place to use them before finding that "sorry we've shut down" note.

complete lie if not total cope mode. OG Ranma was peak anime, only argument people can find was when the anime got hit by budget cuts in later seasons. This joke of an adaptation has terrible color, lighting, directing and art/artists in charge of it with the only positive they can find for it is "source material" adapting which is completely moot for episodic comedy if not entirely detrimental for being a different medium

>with the only positive they can find for it is "source material" adapting which is completely moot for episodic comedy
It's not moot when the original anime kept reusing the same few jokes from the manga over and over running them into the ground.

Season 3 had good filler and there were still some good episodes here and there, but a lot of it was "weird martial artist that seemingly has mystic power is just using a trick Ranma has to figure out", or "Some event leads Ranma and Akane to almost declaring their love for each other, but right at the end of the episode Akane gets angry and undoes all development".

Meanwhile, the later manga chapters openly embrace super powers and cursed artifacts to have more different gimmicks for its stories, as well as having the occasional action based arc, which the same seemed to want to avoid like the plague after the main cast introductions.

>>282269959
>OG Ranma was peak anime
I am heavily nostalgic for OG Ranma, but it was a shitshow of fillers and horrible Akane misrepresentation.

>>282278959
NTA, but so far it is miles better than the remake even ignoring the ridiculous amount of censorship the remake has

>>282278972
Thing is, the early episodes of the original anime, which is what we have to compare to the remake ARE good. We haven't really gotten yet to the point where the original anime's quality decreases notably, which happens only after they're done with the main cast introductions.

>>282278972
Censorship aside I don't like how bright the colors are in the remake, you can't even claim it looks like Rumiko's art as it wasn't as bright:

I never quite got why female Ranma was so popular in the west.
I mean, Ranma as a character is a cool guy, but why the hots for the female version?
I guess I think like this because I never disassociated her with being a man, I guess? Or because I prefer Akane maybe?

>>282244271
The OG anime staff didn't like Akane much.
It's easy to see how they portrayed her as a psycho in the anime when she was much more docile in the manga.
The remake portrays her more accurately.

>>282279045
Female Ranma is popular in Japan as well tho, the demake used plenty of merch and posters of her to promote itself, one of the recent official illustrations is nu female Ranma showing her feet

>>282279070
Nah, if anything the old anime hated Ukyo but so did Rumiko

>>282270414
Comfy and cute.
I've always associated the Ranma series, and specially the Akane's bedroom and the clothes she uses to be very comfy.
Maybe it's all the yellow?

Only the animation was better. And only in the first 2 seasons.

1 - Shampoo
2 - Female Ranma
3 - Akane

She isn't the most popular female character but is right at the top.

The old anime loved Ukiyo. They outright removed scenes where she attacked the other girls in some of the few later chapters they adapted since they had been pushing her as this super friendly character to everyone.

It might not have been big on Ranma x Ukyo shipping specifically though, even teaming her up with Ryoga twice (including getting her saved by him) before their canon team up.

Nah, animation in the last season was great as well, but it was too little too late

>>282279119
God, I forgot how I hated the wild changes in character design in the OG anime.
How can that character be the same as this?

>>282279280
>animation in the last season was great as well
Really? Any examples online?
I haven't seen the OG anime to the end.

They usually saved the budget for the fights or the fanservice, it is impressive how little recap episodes they had for a show that went on for 161 episodes

Akane with the towel is from the OVA. As much as I dislike the episode selection, I love the designs of movie 2 and the OVAs. It's really the ideal version of the Ranma designs to me.

>>282279329
Maybe they're talking about the OVAs?

>>282279329
Sure, they seemed to pick what episodes got the most budget based on if Ranma got naked on those or if they had any fanservice scenes

>>282279383
"Season 7" already gave the girls bigger boobs before the OVAs

>>282279429
I like how that was an anime original episode and they still went out of their way to add a naked female Ranma scene on it

>I love the designs of movie 2 and the OVAs
That's alright, but I never liked character design changes within the same series, and Ranma is quite extreme at that.
It's like it's not even done by the same studio.

>>282279462
I don't like these kind of changes either.

>>282279429
>if Ranma got naked
Wish it were Akane instead, like >>282270414

FYI David Production did UY. Totally different studio.

If you’re not nippleschizo, UY is much better. It’s very different than the OG TV series, but very good in its own way.
