i heard the other anime remake of the mangaka is censored this one https://myanimelist.net/anime/50710/Urusei_Yatsura_2022

so your thoughts on the level of censorship for ranma remake? i say no nipples but they can still show naked boobs and do you think happosai will be more sexually assaulting and annoying in the remake?

Don't think so, unless they plan get shitstorm publicity.
No, this isn't my signature~desu.

Urusei Yatsura is not an ecchi manga, so I don't think there are that many censored scenes anyway.
Ranma on the other hand is one of the OG ecchi shows, people would definitely riot.

Hopefully this remake won't be current year censored slop where Happosai gets nerfed while also lacking nipples. These elements are why the og was such a huge hit.

I have a feeling that the nipples will be cut with light so that they are not visible. As for Happosai, I don't think it will be the same as the original...

Can they even show female nipples on live tv anymore? It always seemed crazy to me that they broadcast the original lol

Nips were never like the selling point of the show imo… the manga doesn’t have a whole ton of real nudity past the first ~100 chapters iirc so who knows what’ll carry over 🤷‍♂️

Censorship bad and all but I’d still enjoy it. Hope Happosai doesn’t get too toned down though, I think people misunderstand his character a lot

Urusei Yatsura was heavily censored and that was tame in comparsion to Ranma. Ranma is going to be heavily censored and thus this series is going to be nothing like the original, unfortunately.

If you care about censorship, just watch the original version.

I'd rather they censor the nipples with clouds and uncensor them in BD releases than not show them at all. As for Happosai, I don't think they'll change anything about him, but we'll see.

@TheBerserker Yeah, I feel like they'd go the censored for TV but uncensored for BD route with the nipples. There's no way they could show the nipples on TV in this day and age. Doing it that way would at least be a solid middle ground imo.

I don't think people misunderstand his character at all, they just find him annoying & obnoxious and it doesn't help that the og anime made him the center of so many filler episodes despite how hated of a character he is.

yeah to be clear I’m no big Happosai fan lol, I totally understand why he makes some people uncomfortable.

When the manga was coming out, he was actually sort of a “progressive” depiction of the pervert old man trope - everyone in the show fucking hated the guy and tried to kill him a bunch, during a period of manga writing where stuff like stealing girls’ underwear would be played just for laughs. Definitely feels weird in a modern context though

I’m with you that the anime made him even less tolerable by putting him front and center in a bunch of filler episodes. When I said I hope they don’t “tone him down” I meant I hope they don’t make him an apologetic character that we’re supposed to sympathize with - he’s *meant* to be hated.

But again, I get not liking the guy. In my mind he’s more understandable as a plot device/“force of nature” more than as a character.

Won't give a single damn if it's "censored". While the ecchi was fun and titillating for 13 year old me, even 13 year ol me knew that the best parts of the show were the humour, the characters, and the action and would have continued watching even if all the fanservice had stopped entirely. Ranma 1/2 is a great and clever story that absolutely can be enjoyed even if you don't see a single naked tiddy.

I probably wont watch this since Netflix is licensing this, which means major censorship. As a person who has watch the original, it has a lot nudity bath scene; mappa tends to stray away from nudity since ceo want appeal to more wider audience. If want a more faithful adaptation just watch the original, if you dont really care much about the censorship, I guess watch this over the original, the animation is better, and they brought back the og Va.

@Pylgrim I fully agree. The lack of nipple shots literally doesn't matter. The wacky scenarios and kooky characters are what made me a Ranma fan, and that's what I'm excited to see more of.

Part of me is holding out a little hope the boobs won't be blank, but that's incredibly wishful thinking. For some reason finishing the drawing makes it indecent.

"Ranma isn't about tits!" Yeah, buddy, I know that, not even into tits, I just don't understand the fear of them.

There's actually one scene that I have seen a comparison of that has shown nipples being covered. However, they also were covered in the original manga so it isn't really censorship since the older anime actually added in a nipple that wasn't originally present. Can it really be considered "Censored" if the content that people claim was removed was acctually not in the source material

@CatSoul Doesn't the fact that you are not into tits explain it? If you were into them, maybe you'd understand that many people are /really/ into them, to the point where everything else is irrelevant. Nobody here is acting in "fear". On the other hand, you get a lot of people almost explicitly saying that it could be a completely masteful adaptation of the series in every other regard but if they don't get to see that nipple, then it's unwatchable garbage and proof that we're living under NK levels of censorship and whatnot.

Nobody here can act in fear because they're not the ones producing Ranma. At some point - and this is an American issue too - we got this twisted idea that showing a whole breast was PG-13 (and you can see that at any time of day on Japanese TV), but showing how it actually looks is R/R+ and a taboo. Compared to 80s/90s anime which had nipples galore.

I'm not going to say Ranma is ruined because it doesn't have nipples, but I will comment on the general absurdity of making a series with this many boobs and not, y'know, finishing the drawing.

Tbh, I never cared for the Ecchi in Ranma that much. For me it was moreso the comedy. Also, I hope they stick with Ranma’s actual male form getting a greater %age of the screen time because I enjoyed his interactions as a guy more.

I have my worries about that, too. They will most likely censor the nipples as much as they can. Not sure about certain scenes like Ranma´s nightmare with Kuno and some of Kuno´s fantasies. One includes a joke about virginity loss, though nothing graphic. They can´t erase Happosai, so they just might some of his scenes down. Japan´s TV censorship rules have changed in 35 years, so if they do something, it´s not because of western audience.

Regardless, the Twitter and TikTok sides will be insufferable. Every normal anime fan that like Ranma know there´s ecchi for laughs. But them? Be prepared for "LesBIaN kODachI aND AkANe" and "RAnmA iS soOoooOOo trANs". Oh, and of course, "nON-ConSEnsuAL kISs".

coomers need to move on. Ranma was the last anime to ever have that rating and show nips and that was 1989. PLEASE move on. The manga didnt even have nips so how the hell this is censorship doesnt even make sense. Some of you need to get off twitter and stop masturbating. Judging by the trailer they are aiming for a new audience and not just nostalgia baiting.

Well, since some of the episodes have been leaked we've got confirmation: Nipples are censored, either by being obscured by objects, or sometimes by using barbie doll anatomy. Additionally even butt cracks are censored too.

@DarkDooM2 I hate this kind of censorship, even steam would be better than making the character look like a lifeless doll like this. I expected that nipples would be censored but the way it is done feels like it's aimed at children.

@Sinnou To be fair, male characters never haver nipples in Ranma 1/2 original either (we can see male Ranma doesn't have nipples in the new anime either), but nobody say they look like a lifeless doll.

Honestly, I'm fine with the barbie doll breasts (as I said, the male characters already have it). In fact, I've prefer they showing breasts without nipples than they hiding the breasts and nipples with steam or light.

@Konja9 I don't like male characters with no nipples either but it's not as painfully obvious since they don't have breasts to emphasize them.
