No offense if you like Akane Tendo, but after watching episode 1, I feel like she's one of those typical anime girls who overreacted over stuffs and yells a lot, and she hits Ranma so hard with the table but the anime seems to disguise her violences as comedy, she feels abusive to me. Idk whether or not she got character development later, or whether it's an old trope which people but me find it funny, but I find Akane Tendo infuriating.

Does anybody else feel the same?

Great job Ranma 1/2 remake by bringing back Akane hatred into the mainstream right after people in the fanbase started to change their minds and started liking her after so many years.

@utopia- She was pretty much like that in the OG series, I doubt they would change her.

I mean this series is so old, Akane is probably within the first group of anime girl characters with this archetype, aka the tsundere. The only one I can think of prior at the top of my head is Lum, but there is probably more.

With that said, Akane is very very tsuntsun from what I remember. Very aggressive and rarely shows her deredere side.

@Sheol01 It's not like it's changed, maybe they don't like Akane simply because of her personality.

Isn't she a typical Tsundere.
Also Ranma deserved few smacks after what he did like comparing his and her ratios lol.

@WaterMage

I LOL'd at the comparison scene cause this humor aged so damn well....you know with the current woke world and all, men being better at being women. (winning beauty peaganst and all that crap)

Absolutely fucking hilarious.

As an oldschool fan one of my favorite things about Ranma 1/2 is that pretty much every character (save for Kasumi) is a jackass and it's hilarious

@WaterMage That was one of my belly laughs in the first episode of the OG. And he did DESERVE that one. Later though, I did get tired of her temper & I tended to agree with him that she was "So Uncute!" LOL

Yes, but Ranma can be infuriating too. I forgive them since their antics are funny. Happosai, on the other hand...

Shinobu is more of a tsundere than Lum. She even looks like Akane.

It is the essence of the character, it is exactly what the author is looking for. Remember that she is a 16 year old girl.

no, I love tsunderes like her and most of the hitting is just comedy, can't believe you are taking that seriously lol. They are so cute when they get angry or pout embarrassed and slap you while yelling "baka".


It's the number 1 thing that people who don't like tsunderes complain about, how character is abusive or toxic which isn't true at all. I am a fan of stories where they first start with hate, then turn into love and that is exactly where tsundere shines once she opens her soft cute side later, they can turn into some of the most lovable devoted girlfriends and always end up having best development cuz of that.

@WaterMage Yeah, I never cared for Akane much, but most of the time she whacked Ranma in the original series he definitely deserved it. Not always, but way more than half of the time he'd done something even most boys his age would know is stupid.

I did find her far less annoying than some of the other girls in the series, though.

Oh man! You're in for quite a ride then. UY and Ranma go hand in hand imo. I recommend Maison Ikkoku too, which also is loaded with jackasses but becomes a really sweet masterpiece in the final story arc.

The "other girls in the series" are 100% Kodachi, Azusa, Hinako........ (Cologne gets a special mention, but I *very* occasionally kind of like her.)

Personally, I do like Akane. I didn't like her when I first read the manga, but I was ≈11-16 as I read through all of it via my library system in the early aughts, lol. She's grown on me a lot.
Ukyou & Shampoo are definitely my fave girls. The rest are good, just not top tier to me.
(I don't personally count Ranma among the girls.)

Akane has always been worst girl. Best girl is Shampoo. Though, Ranma-chan tops them all.
