Thread 283737426

On top of being heavily censored to the point of retardation, the latest Ranma 1/2 Demake episode combined not 2, not 3, but 6 FUCKING Happosai's manga chapters onto a single 22 minutes long episode...
for what purpose? is MAPPA that short of episodes that they're speedrunning the entire thing to see if they can finish it in 46 episodes or less?

>>283737426 (OP)
Funny how each of the chapters they bastardized/squeezed onto a single episode in the censored remake were a single episode each in the 1989 anime, Happosai did nothing wrong

>>283737475
>Happosai did nothing wrong
He didn't fuck Ranma

I've loved everything about the Ranma remake up until now but this was awful. Honestly one of the worst things I have ever seen in an anime. So awkward, clunky, and visually ugly. The leg thing is really weird since it doesn't even justify Ranma's response like the boob groping did.

>>283737952
>>283738348
Funniest one

>>283738425
Yeah. I'm really disgusted. Just depressing. All uphill from here, I guess. Can't get worse than that atrocity.

In the end, what's the point?

Bravo Mappa

Happosai is just too big a filter for modern audiences…

>>283738561
You'd think a site calling itself Anime News Network would be a bit more knowledgeable about anime.

>>283738561
Do people not realize that it's basically just Looney Tunes slapstick and that 1980s Rumiko Takahashi almost certainly knew sexual harassment/molestation was wrong and disliked it in real life

>>283737952
>>283738348
Is he at least humping Ranma's leg or is he simply nuzzling it?

>>283741067
Just nuzzling.

>>283741084
Too bad, humping his leg like a small dog would at least be somewhat funny and justify that reaction. Oh well. I get the censorship is probably due to broadcast standards or something, but do modern Japanese audiences also react with offense at Happosai's antics like >>283738561?

>>283741129
I think it's probably just because it's a Netflix show, specifically. Anime in general isn't nearly this censored.

>>283738675
More like Crappa

>>283737426 (OP)
This was a deal breaker for me, I couldnt care less about chuds crying
>muh nipples!
every thread, but depriving a character of the trademark trait that led to most of his COMEDIC SITUATIONS in a COMEDY is just criminally retarded.

>>283738410
Took the words out of my mouth anon, this adaptation had been so faithful to the manga so far I had high hopes on how they would do Happosai. Shame on me I guess.

>>283738561
These people would die of a heart attack if they saw the 1989 anime or read the manga

>>283738425
>>283738561
Lmao

Based. The less happosai the better. I only watch this anime for the cute ranmas and I don't want old men on my screen.

>>283738425
He's humping them now instead of just flipping their skirts?

>>283744227
Just nuzzling, not humping.

>>283744254
Either way surely that's worse?

>>283737952
>>283738348
Old pervy men are passe, but updating Ranma to modern trends is just idiotic. I hate it when adaptations of old stuff are set in 'the present time'. Very disrespectful.

>>283737952
>>283738348
Cringe

>>283738561
>"They didn't censor it enough!"

This episode shows perfectly well why the Dirty Old Man trope died after the 90s. Nobody found it funny in the first place & Happosai just pushed it to the extreme.

Ranma with no filler and lesser Happosai is literally a better product in every way.

>>283741138
It's only a Netflix show in the West, but Netflix isn't producing it.

>>283745457
They should have censored Happosai out of the show completely.

>>283737426 (OP)
happosai was cringe in the manga so i'm glad they speedran his stuff

You need to go back to ANN. As a kid I laughed my ass off at Happosai's antics and him getting his just desserts afterwards and I still do. I guess people nowadays just can't tell the difference between fiction and reality.
Fuck censorship.

>>283742479
Be real with me youngsters, are you all as gay as this humongous faggot?

>>283747065
>As a kid I laughed my ass off at Happosai's antics and him getting his just desserts afterwards and I still do.
You're in the minority.

>>283737426 (OP)
Reminder to always shit on any Netflix anime, no matter what.

>>283741129
>but do modern Japanese audiences also react with offense at Happosai's antics like
They probably aren't as harsh, but I don't think they find this trope funny considering it died out almost 30 years ago.

>>283737426 (OP)
Fear not! While the last episode was dogshit best girl Shampoo gonna save the remake again this week!

>>283747065
I posted on Rumic World in 2004 and 2005 and the first guy actually is right. I can't think of anyone ever calling Happosai funny. He also wasn't seen as offensive or problematic, though (minus the occasional one-off post here and there, which were usually mild and proportional). The mid-2000s common wisdom was that Happosai was overused in S3 and S4 and... that's about the full extent of our thoughts on him.

I'm not a nostalgiafag, I didn't enjoy the 2000s, but I do feel a little left behind. P-chan discourse is another example. Everyone always knew it was wrong, even the manga itself in the 80s, but 20 years away the attitude towards it was much less high-strung. A lot of people viewed it as fun, spicy drama; others genuinely thought it was shitty and not in a fun way, but didn't harp on about it to nearly the same duration or intensity.
