I just love this remake. I've always hated remakes, as most of them are mediocre because they don't take a similar approach to the original. And the Ranma½ remake is outdoing itself in this regard. Both the comic moments, with dynamic scenes and good animation in the fights, and also the relationship between Ranma and Akane, because they fight so much, sometimes, such precious moments end up happening, it's like they're becoming "closer" to each other. The art here has also been phenomenal, and both the opening and ending are simply gorgeous. That said... I would like to rate this, but I don't like rating an anime with only three episodes(As of this post), so here I am, putting into words my gratitude to MAPPA for bringing this wonder back. For me, this is better than the original and on par with the manga.

While many prefer Orbe, Bleach, Dandandan or Re:zero...To finish... Best anime of the season? Yes or for sure?(you only have two options, so just accept it🙏)

(give your brief opinion about this remake, based on the first 3 episodes)

I think I like it better than the Urusai Yatsura remake but that's mainly because of the characters. Visually it's good too. Also the opening you mentioned I like a lot.

I do think rating as you watch is fine, I just update the score if it goes up or down overall for me.

It's great that Ranma is getting a remake. I wouldn't rate it as the best of the season There's a few I have been enjoying a little better than Ranma. No it's not Bleach or Re:Zero.

I love the remake but the dub voice actors don’t deliver the punch lines quite as well as the original dub voice cast imo

It's fine so far, but I always thought Ranma½ didn't hit its stride until the introduction of Shampoo and Ryoga (aka post-haircut).

In my heart is already AOTS because I know what gonna happen in the next 9 eps and I love it. But honestly Ranma ½ is pretty hard to enjoy for who is used to modern anime with a less episodic structure and more hype culture. In addiction, there are a lot of haters of this "remake" (actually re-adaptation of the manga) and they started to downvote this for nostalgia

Now I am not coming to conclusions BUT if this gets more then 48 episodes (like around 112 or something) then this might become the best adaptation of Ranma 1/2.

@Natsu_20_ I did some math in the past and we would need something like 7 cour (84 episodes) for a good adaptation IMO. It would be not a full one but with the right choice of stories it could be independent from the manga

It’s a comfort show. Something you don’t gotta watch seriously or get too invested in. I need more shows like that so I’m onboard with the remake.

I might even watch the original to compare if I find the time.

Easily two of my favorite characters. Their stories always cracked me up

The main character is an asshole (from what I saw later on in the original version), so no. Also the show doesn't really have a story and doesn't go anywhere. It's also supposed to be adapted from an ecchi comedy manga, so the blu rays better be uncensored, but it's unlikely, so if it's censored forever, then it's a mediocre remake.

The second season of the Rurouni Kenshin remake is currently airing this season too.

So far, it's ok. It's one of those classic shows that I've always wanted to watch, but the outdated visuals and storytelling kinda kept me from it. Since it's an old show, it's to be expected that the humor is a bit dated, and there are some tropes that I'm honestly not a big fan of, but the story is not bad by any means. The characters are endearing and the updated visuals are really good. I'll definitely keep watching, but it's not even close to being anime of the year. Heck, it's not even in my top 5 of this season. It's fine.
