Reboot Onlys,After end on Season 1, how many of you think Akane is very mean and violent towards Ranma?

@WaterMage what a hateful reply... I'm out of words



She called him "pervert" when he did nothing wrong... She listened to the backstory fully and then still called Ranma pervert... She walked into him while he was naked and still called him pervert... She really meant it... Ranma reminded her that he was also seen naked and that he is used to female body since he got better boobs anyway... It is retaliation towards her pervert comment while still trying to make her feel better... The way he delivered the line is also like teasing a friend... Akane tone is serious when she called him pervert

If hitting him for chest comment is justified retaliation, then chest comment for labeling him pervert is also justified retaliation... She called him pervert, he joked about boobs... That is tit for tat... But hitting him again is like not acknowledging that she attacked him first... Stop with the double standards nonsense

Seeing a girl character cry made your day??? Bro you are far gone... You need to touch grass

You are assuming hate where there is none... I mentioned "Reboot onlys" because I am one... I don't have any feelings for years regarding Ranma 1/2... I am also not pissed at Akane or Ranma... Just because I think Akane is violent doesn't mean I am pissed at her



If calling Male MC a pervert in an anime is a cliched joke, calling Female MC flat is also a very cliched joke... Literally every Harem anime talks about Female MC boob size... Ranma 1/2 is both harem AND Ecchi... You are having a double standard here... Either call both a joke or treat both seriously... Don't say "pervert" is a joke and "flat" is a serious insult...

Akane branded him as pervert, thinks Ranma IS a pervert and treats him like he is a pervert... If it was just a joke, the show would just forget about the incident and it would be irrelevant to what happens next in the story... But this incident defined how Akane viewed Ranma, why she is quick to assume that he is at fault... I cannot rub this "pervert" incident under the rug saying it is just a joke



Again you only extend empathy to Akane but not Ranma... Only Rapist is the worst label than pervert for a man... You can call a man Egoistic, Narcissistic, an asshole but none would offend him as much as pervert or rapist because it is hurting his social reputation... It is slander... If Ranma walked on Akane, I would understand the pervert comment, but it is Akane who walked in on Ranma... Calling a man a pervert in a social circle infront of parents is NO Joke!! It is a serious offence... It is akin to calling a woman a "slut" because it is hurting her reputation... It is not as less serious as you portrayed... If a girl calls anther girl a slut, it is perfectly justified to comment on the boobs as retaliation...

Insult that hurts your reputation vs insults that hurt your pride... Reputation ruining insults is obviously faaar worse because it is slander... See how you reacted to my post, calling it slander, spewing hateful comments right... If someone called Akane "Flat" I assume you wouldn't react that harshly to it right... Extend the same empathy to Ranma too... Akane is slandering Ranma himself... In the future, Akane treats Ranma like he IS a pervert.. He obviously didn't like it and immediately said "who are you calling pervert?!!"

Talking to you I get the feeling that you read the manga and watched the original series... I particularly mentioned Reboot onlys on the post because I've only watched the reboot... The impression you have on Akane and I have on Akane would obviously be different since you completed the story and I did not...

Also I don't care about Shampoo, Ryouga, Genma, Nabiki etc... So you insulting them doesn't illicit any feelings in me

Ranma 1/2 is a 80's gag manga themed around marthial arts and uses recurring jokes, the characters beat each other up all the time for comic effect and they are rarely seriously injured ou even bothered by the "violence". Ranma and Genma get into very physical fights all the time, even when he is in girl form. Ryoga quite literally tries to murder Ranma everytime they see each other, Shampoo tries to kill girl Ranma and so on and on. The fact that you single out Akane in the middle of all this tells me that you don't like her and is trying to justify it to yourself / get other people to validate your opinion which honestly is fine people will like and hate multiple things or you are coming from a "girls shouldn't be violent" mindset so seeing Akane out of the whole "pretty delicate girl who loves MC" bothers you. Either way, in the context of their universe, her actions are pretty regular, even so that others characters find it normal and don't even comment on it.

I don't understand Akane fans that comment in this forum... Why can't we just discuss about the story/anime/manga, without making unnecessary comments about me(the poster)???... Either I hate Akane for years, or have sexist views towards women, or doesn't understand anime tropes, or just I'm just plain brain dead to not understand the story... I am actually getting sick of this forum

There are plenty of valid reasons to treat Akane-Ranma relationship different to every other relationship... I will list them out below



1. It is also a Romance, ecchi manga... Walking in on your naked love interest is the basic of basic joke in a romance echi manga, but that incident is not at all treated as a joke... It is treated very seriously, so seriously that this incident defines the relationship between them for the foreseeable future



2. Correct, if its just gags, the injuries are never serious and are not carried forward to the next scene... But this is not the case only when it involves Akane... Akane getting her hair cut during Ranma-Ryouga fight is not a gag (Ranma-Ryouga fight is a gag outside Akane)... Akane twists Ranma's hand so hard that they had to take him to Dr Tofu for treatment (This never happened with other characters)



3. Akane and Ranma doesn't beat EACH OTHER... It is only Akane hitting Ranma... If it is TRULY a gag, Ranma would also attack Akane without any qualms
4. Sure Ranma doesn't hit any girls, but he also doesn't have romance with any other girls... Only Akane has roamnce with Ranma and hence judged differently from other girls...
5. Akane also assigns blame on Ranma and Ranma is not allowed to defend himself from the blame... This is different to every other character violence... Even is Ranma is blamed unreasonably, he is allowed to defend himself, but not from Akane, he just has to take it
6. All the gags that happen TO Akane like not being cute, being flat, being violent are taken very seriously by Akane... But her violence towards Ranma is just a gag???

Isn't it pretty reasonable to dislike a character who takes a gag seriously when it happens to her, but not seriously when she is the one that does it??? and it is not being biased/sexist/not understanding anime tropes etc....??



7. In the first episode itself Akane's mom calls her violent but also kind, Dr Tofu asks Ranma to not take her violence seriously... This justification doesn't happen to any other character... Because Ranma had every right to straight up hate Akane IN UNIVERSE, that's why other characters try to pacify Ranma

8. Ranma calls Akane "Not Cute" because Akane unnecessarily assigns blame on Ranma... If you watched it carefully, you will notice this

Had Ranma hit Akane back, had Akane just accepts Ranma's insults as retaliation to her behaviour, had Akane also been on the receiving end of gags, if there was no romance between Akane and Ranma, I think the complaints about Akane would just disappear... People recognise bullies when they see one... Bullies by definition pick on/hit someone who cannot or won't hit back... A physically weak bully can bully a stronger person if they know that stronger person won't hit back... Akane-Ranma relationship fits the bill of bully and bullied hence the outcry... None of other character relationships doesn't come across like that

Akane never resorts towards violence without being provoked first, her violent acts are either a response from a verbal abuse towards her, feeling violated (by being seeing naked or someone touching her without her consent) or and jealously (hitting the MC because of jealously in a commom tsundere troup). The injure being carried to a next scene doesn't mean it's serious, the characters forget about it soon after and it doesn't have long lasting effects.
If we apply your logic about Akane towards Tofu-sensei for example, he should be sued and lose his medical license because he messed up Ranma's neck because of Kasumi. He is a quiropractor and should never harm any of his patients, right?
While we are at it, we should totally call CPS on Genma and make sure he is not Ranma's legal guardian anymore because all the domestic abuse and neglect, right?
We also should take Nabiki to court from wrongful image use and taking people's pictures without their consent to sell.
Let's not even beggin to talk about Happosai, that man should be on lifelong jail for assaulting woman.
You know why no one thinks those things while we are watching the anime? Because we understand it's a work of fiction, the character's traits are overly exaggerated for comic effect and deep down we know no one would act like that in real life, it's only fine for laughs on a gag manga
Like I said before, it's totally fine if you don't like her. My favorite girl in this anime is not even her, I prefer very much Ukyo. But reducing her character to that point while ignoring everyone else acts in the same kind of way because the manga was written with those running jokes seem unfair. Maybe try to get past the prejudice and enjoy the story?

The first episode itself is an example of this claim being wrong... For further explanation, please read the original post for this forum by me... I'm tired of people not reading it, not comprehending it and still replying to it...



You didn't even understood my logic in my previous reply... I explained it to you in great detail, why Akane is different to all other characters in Ranma 1/2... I don't have the energy to type everything again, so please read my previous reply to you...

Please let's have a conversation... A conversation means I will listen to your words and reply, you will listen to your words and reply... I don't have an interest in having one sided conversation where people don't even read my post, my replies properly and reply...

@Kira_Illusionist I really admire the lack of self-awereness it takes to insist on a very prejudiced opinion based on arcaic gender roles and expectations even when not one but several people presents multiples arguments for someone to consider. You lack the subjective perception to self-reflect on your own opinions and will most likely refuse any argument given to you, even it tthe author herself came here to discuss. Just resorting to complains about "not being read" or "not being understood" when you actually didn't read anything I wrote, didn't present any new argument in any point of the discussion even when all your original ones were dismisse and then came complaining about wanting a "conversation". This is a waste of time for both of us and I'll no longer entertain you. You are entitled to your opinion, go ahead and exert it.

Imagine thinking anime is real. Kinda yikes but I guess if one watches little girl anime enough, it starts to have repercussions.
