Why did the remake fail?

I don't see any zoomers talking about it

>>283066169 (OP)
Unnecessary, barely an improvement over the old one, maybe even dis-improvement. Cash grab remake, like Hollywood does them.

>>283066169 (OP)
They do in Latin America and probably in Japan

>>283066230
>Unnecessary

The old show never finished. Ranma is the most popular Takahashi work with no animated conclusion

>>283066169 (OP)
Sanitized shit.

>>283066311
Still mad about the China overalls?

>>283066281
With the current pacing, I don't think we are even seeing it fully animated.
12 episodes per year and only greenlighted if the number are good at netflix
NHK should have picked it up

>>283066169 (OP)
Honestly, it's a soulless, 1:1 anime adaption. The bgm is forgettable, some of the VAs are clearly too old to pull off their characters, there is nothing interesting in terms of visual style.
Kinda what I would imagine in the future AI-created adaptions are going to look like, basically just animated manga pages with worse art.

Barbie Doll Ranma is uncanny looking

>>283066169 (OP)
Censored and looks like shit. Hate the colors. Censoring even the dialogue was the final nail in the coffin.

Ranma was full of fanservice but at the same time the gag-comedy and the action bits were clearly separate while still under the umbrella of casual nudity.
It was never possible to make a satisfying remake of it in the modern day.

That's without getting into why the fuck everything is pastel filtered.

>>283066615
Demake Shampoo is too skinny

>>283066230
this
also if they wanted to remake something it should have been a series that never had a true run and or was restricted to ova's like 3x3 eyes or angel densetsu

1989 Ranma's ass is massive here

>>283066169 (OP)
nobody but mentally ill retards care about ranma and akane's romance, people are even asking for the Inuyasha remake already because they realized the romance there it's done better. The only thing keeping it in hype is Female Ranma and Shampoo, might as well get a spinoff of her.

>>283067132
>shampoo's shampoo
bravo Japan

>>283066615
>>283066926
Shame on Japan
>>283067132
Dunno, people in Japan seemed disappointed by the fact that Ranma got a remake before Maison Ikkoku, Maison Ikkou would be easier to censor since it had less nudity than Urusei Yatsura and Ranma

>>283066281
No one in the Spanish community is watching it. We like the older anime, unlike you dumb Americans who keep supporting Netflix awful production.

>>283067201
Maison Ikkoku is too slow for zoomers, they can't capitalize on it like Inuyasha, unless they change the pacing dramatically

>>283067222
The remake lost all support it had in LatAm once the dub's director fired every single original dub VA aside from Akane's and Mousse's, the 1989 Ranma anime is so fucking popular in LatAm that this was the worst possible choice they could of taken, the ridiculous amount of censorship didn't help either

>>283066597
looks hot

>>283067288
Im surprised the support fell, when season 1 was released weeb FB groups were fellating the remake while also calling out anybody that complained by doing the whole "its more loyal to the manga" and calling the old one an inferior adaptation because of it

>ranma remake
lol The first series was fun because it had that 90s anime charm, but the new remakes lack all of that.

>>283067132
Rankane is the center of the series so if only “mentally ill retards” care about it then only mentally ill retards actually like Ranma 1/2

>>283067545
>only mentally ill retards actually like Ranma 1/2
That seems like a true statement though

>>283066169 (OP)
>Why did the remake fail?
Censored crap.

>>283066169 (OP)
Let's be fair, if a zoomer really liked the first season, he probably checked out the original series instead of waiting a year for the next episode.

>>283067713
Doubt, zoomers won't watch anything pre HD era. They can't take the 4:3 format.

Did it fail? Asking because retards have skewed and incorrect concepts of success and failure.

>>283067545
>center of the story
if the only reason you want to watch ranma is the "romance" you are a shit loving retard yes

>>283067928

Kinda falling behind on that stuff desu.

>>283066169 (OP)
Back then it was impressive that an animated series had a Lot of ecchi and nude scenes Being broadcasted on public tv
For today standards, it isn't impressive anymore and it feels like another generic harem
>>283067222
Here in spain we used to have a censored dub based on français dub
After 4chan there was those shitty France dub
Also it's a shame that the LATAM dub Is fucking terrible

>>283066597
What were they thinking about giving Ranma a barbie body?
1989 version is anatomically correct body.

The color palette just looks bad? It's like the remake added a bunch of bloom and brightened literally everything

>>283067928
Pretty sure it did indeed fail among zoomers, pretty much every comment I see is from an oldfag that already watched the old anime.

>>283066597
>>283068318
Another instance.

>>283068278
The French dub wasn't even that censored. They often showed the titties untouched

>>283068325
if you're trying to look for conversation about art direction you're not gonna get it

Nostalgia and also want the series to be revitalized, Inuyasha's anime style wasn't as beautiful as pretty as old Urusei and Ranma so also that

>>283068217
I'd say it was a massive failure here as well, when the new episodes drop on weekends the threads never reach anything past 95 or so replies, only threads shitting on the remake or comparing the censored scenes such as this one get replies, almost if anons lost all the interest for the remake, of course it is because on top of heavy censorship they only release 12 episodes per year and they're now skipping arcs so I doubt they would even reach the ending anytime soon if at all, might even be cancelled without adapting the whole thing like the Orphen remake from a few years ago

>>283068552
I remember being obsessed with it when Viz was still doing the mirror image comic book style publications, so yeah, it was good in the '90s.

>>283068349
>>283068616

Its also just a bad show.

>>283068356
nah they changed some names, shampoo was hard to pronunce to them so they change to bambu, some ecchi jokes and nudes where censored, that the shitty version i used to watch in the 90s
the same with dbz, we used to dub from french scripts that censor the word dead-die, they censor a lot of violence and fight scenes, gore scenes, or escenia, was cut, thanks god there was the latam dub that was uncensored and has better voices-acting than the japanese audio of dbz ranma etc

>>283066169 (OP)
I'd say the lack of nipples, but in reality it's probably that the people who watched it back then don't give a shit anymore. And people who never watched it don't see what's good about it.
But for me it was the lack of nipples.

>>283068727
A daily thread on the internet's asshole isn't a real world measure of success though.

There are cosplays, there are definitely people watching it.

>>283070262
And it fucking sucked.
Not that Orphen was a great anime, but fuck's sake. Everything about the remake vindicated the 90s anime.

>>283066169 (OP)
Obviously because the original (as well as the manga) was always mid but since peoples standards were way lower back in the day it could become a "classic".

>>283066169 (OP)
The colours are so washed out. It's not pleasent to look at. They did this to an extent with Urusei Yatsura too. It's just awful.

Sex with female Ranma

>>283067132
What would a Shampoo spin-off be about? Maybe one about her childhood, we could see her training and Moose learning how to make his weapons.

lol this is failing because the original is nearly 40 fucking years old, new audiences don't give a shit about it. Blame the lack of nipples as you want

>>283066597
this shot would be the perfect time to tickle female ranma on her pits and tummy

>>283066281
>They do in Latin America
No, we don't.

>>283069930
Retard.

>>283066169 (OP)
Honestly, it's visually unappealing. That alone is enough to not watch it.

>>283066169 (OP)
The original wasn't that popular either, its one of those shows that retroactively has fans that weren't actually there when it aired and liked it because of their brand of tomboy waifuism (just like evangelion still being "relevant" only because of asuka/rei waifuwars).
The show itself doesn't have enough material to catch the audience attention, specially now with significantly impaired attention spans that require extremely flashy effects in very quick succession.
The hair color makes her look significantly less appealing too.
Also the censorship drama made the bots obsessed with virtue signaling killed the interest in the show because its now associated with people that will call you a pedo and hecking trans representation which is now a repellent that has been making media in the last couple of years flop.

Its a combination of all these reasons, not just a single one.

>>283066597
SOME ONE FIX IT AND PUT NIPPLES ON IT!!!

Has there ever been a single 80s/90s series besides Dragon Ball whose legacy has managed to stand the test of time?

>>283067132
>Shampoo spinoff
Best girl getting her own show sounds amazing. But in this day and age, forget about it because there won't be any NIPPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>283066281
Just make a sequel then?

>>283069913
Ranma had eyeshadow in the original anime as well. Presumably the drowned girl was wearing it at the time.

>>283077999
nothing like permanent makeup.
But for real, Rumiko used eyeshadow as a visual cue to tell the character is very beautiful, Lum also had it.

>>283066281
Then they should have concluded it. You cannot improve on perfection.

>>283066281
>The old show never finished. Ranma is the most popular Takahashi work with no animated conclusion

Can you guess why that is?
Remember that the first season of Ranma got cancelled too, the Ranma live action movie also had bad reviews specifically complaining over two missing characters.
And remember that the Ranma live action is basically how Ranma would be if it actually focused on romance and Ranma and Akane were the center of the story, and it flopped.
The ranma manga did so good because of the side characters and the comedy, rankane fags wanna believe its for the romance when Rumiko doesn't even like to write romance and said her favorite scenes are actually Ryoga getting shy around Akane, she just likes comedy.

>>283079704
>old anime
>perfection
The old anime was shit after the first season and barely resembled the manga.

The red hair color is way off in the new anime

>>283066169 (OP)
watching ranma was a kid gave me agp

>>283066597
>>283069905
Now you're just coping
>>283067442
Ranma's commie outfit is censored as well

>>283077999
does ranma chan have blue eyes or red eyes? or both?

>>283080864
>Inb4 "1989 Ranma only had the commie outfit in the opening"
Wrong, Ranma actually used the commie outfit in the first Tsubasa episode and the OVAs

>>283074423
Yeh

>>283066597
Nip-less freak

>>283081014
So in other words, 1989 Ranma censored the commie outfit except for a single episode and a direct to video OVA.

>>283080778
Wrong, the last 2 seasons had good animation, but most anons here seem to drop it after Happosai shows up

>>283081152
It didn't tho, as it used it in the opening for 30 episodes

>>283081203
>Wrong, the last 2 seasons had good animation
>thinks an exception within a sea of dogshit is "good animation"

>>283079972
>the Ranma live action movie also had bad reviews
Because it was absolutely terrible. I sort of believe the rumors it was some kind of contractual thing just to hold onto the rights longer out of spite.
It is really bizarre it took till 2024, 30 years later for a new Ranma anime to happen.

>>283081222
It was used in only 21 episodes of season 3 actually, and that doesn't change the fact that season 1 of the old anime censored the outfit entirely.

>>283081267
Anon is right tho, the very last season where all the girls got bigger boobs had pretty good animation
>>283081396
It didn't censor it as it was in the show with the red star intact unlike in the remake where it doesn't have it, it is also on screen for longer than the CENSORED version is in the remake

>>283080972
Blue eyes in the 1989 anime, pink/red-ish in the Demake

>>283081486
>on screen for longer than the CENSORED version
How is not being on the screen at all count as "being on screen longer"? You do understand it was removed entirely from Kodachi's intro, right?

>>283074221
>>283081041
>>283074221
>>283066615
Another censored scene

>>283081301
weird how they did a live action for Ranma when everyone was asking for real life Lum.
Japan's highest payed cosplayer did a official collab too

>>283075334
Just watch the original you horny teenager!

>>283081551
We all fucking know by now.

>>283081615
That episode is still not from the Kodachi intro arc/season 1. Are you retarded or do you lack basic reading comprehension?

>>283081636
Let it be a reminder then

>>283081527
Nice ass

>>283072214
Nah, you're underselling just how bad 90s Orphen was.

>>283081794
Maybe. Either way, the remake was shit

>>283081794
NTA but the 90s anime had a great OST, the anime original villains were cool and it gave us pic related, the second opening alone blows anything in the remake's soundtrack out of the water, it was 90% anime original yeah, but the source material was pretty shit to begin with, not like the Slayers anime followed the novels at all either and anons here seem to like that series

>>283081856
Okay, I need to watch this again

>>283081794
orphen '90s was pretty cool

>>283081856
I liked the evil loli, she was a shameless ripoff of Slayer's Phibrizzo, but at least she managed to kill off a recurring character unlike him

>>283066169 (OP)
they should make Ranmaruto sequel now so i can see the milfs ver of all girls

They should remake GS Mikami. Improve the leg and cleavage fanservice.

>>283081915
Cute
>>283082026
I'd say the 90s one was good enough in terms of fanservice, a remake would probably be heavily censored like the Jigoku Sensei Nube one

>>283066169 (OP)
