I had a great time. It felt like I was back in the '90s, watching the original for the first time. That being said, I feel it's silly this got a TV-MA for nudity (and smoking, though I don't recall anyone smoking during the episode, not that it would warrant so harsh a rating), especially since they toned the nudity down (by removing the nipples) compared to the original series.

It definitely has the nostalgia feel going. The difference in animation is noticeable as well. The toned down nudity doesn't bother me. It's a good start for episode 1.

And here is the opening and ending animation posted recently by MAPPA.

I mean the nudity and the groping probably earns it, as well as the gender bending which I'm sure will trigger... some segment of the population. Lots of anime (without blatant fan service) end up TV-MA and it feels like it's "just in case someone is offended." Certainly nothing on the level of the beginning of Dandadan for instance.

Kids and I watched it, I liked it, and the ways they made it like an animated manga page. That ending style though, oof. And I think it's one of those series where I am SO used to the dub (and have watched the old one and read the manga so many times) that it's going to take me a while to get used to the new dub, especially for some reason Nabiki.

I guess. But I still feel the show warrants a TV-14 rather than a TV-MA. But then, I still haven't seen how this show will handle Happosai.

Just watched episode 2. One episode a week is just not enough. At this rate, I'll need to revisit the original series to get a proper fix.

I think the old show holds up, and even without filler it'll take many years for them to get to even a fraction of what the old one covered.

Funny enough, I was revisiting the old show on Freevee today. I was surprised to see that material from episode 2 of the remake actually covers material from episodes 2 & 3 of the original show. Also, I didn't recall that the old show ran for 7 seasons.

Other revelations from my revisit, the old show is TV-14, and regarding the "uncensored" nudity of the original, it was just pink dots (tiny blobs, really) that served as nipples.

I mean imagine if they made that slight change to, say, the first episode of Thundercats...

Given the lack of nipples got this show a TV-MA, perhaps they should add Cheetara nipples to tone down the pilot episode of Thundercats.

Another really good episode. Been going back to the old show to compare. It seems the pacing of this iteration is faster, but it doesn't feel rushed. The old show still holds up, but I do recall it got bogged down in filler (and the finale was a letdown). I wonder how long this new show is intended to run.

Number of episodes haven't been confirmed yet. There will be at least 12 episodes. 12 low resolution episodes were leaked online in August. It was part of a major leak from Netflix (most of which were anime titles).

In this new TV landscape, 12 episodes per season makes sense. And that certainly would explain why the storyline progression has been compressed. But I was actually wondering about the series as a whole: How many seasons do they intend to make?

I love the SFII inspired recap at the beginning of this episode.

From what I read recently, the reason the pacing of this remake is faster than the original show is because it's not a remake of the previous show. It's a brand new adaptation of the manga that aims to stay truer to the source material, omitting the filler of the previous adaptation.

Oh and girl Ranma is still the cutest looking girl in any version (manga, anime, or "remake" anime) of Ranma ½.

Any word if this show is getting renewed for a second season? It really makes me feel like I'm back in my teens, watching the original series for the first time.

I do hope there's an eventual box set. And that hopefully the original series (and movies) gets a nice remaster too. It looks okay on Freevee, but a touch rough.

Ending Movie Akane short hair ver.

It has been top 10 for TV series (non-English) https://www.netflix.com/tudum/top10/...eek=2024-10-27. Anime wise, it's behind Dragon Ball DAIMA (on an 1-week delay) and DAN DA DAN.

Netflix also notes it as Season 1. Personally I expect more to be released. It could be a matter of when rather than if. It may also depend how busy MAPPA is.

It's probably VIZ or no one else. If there is one, the wait will likely be a long one. Netflix anime getting home video release is always a maybe at best for North America.

I though Netflix were merely the distributors (despite the "Netflix Anime" card at the beginning) and didn't have any real involvement with the show. Is that not the case?
