Poor Ranma, he can't even take a bath in peace.

Kunou vs Ranma was amusing and seems to be motivated by jealousy and feelings. Feels like at the moment, they're using fighting as a way to resolve differences. Akane is very entertaining to watch..she's just so impulsive and unpredictable.

Nabiki knows how to do business. That was the OG OF.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

This is my first time experiencing Ranma. It's really fun, I wish I started watching later so that there's more episodes to watch.

What perfection! This episode is so relaxing and funny, lots of comedic moments and easy to follow.

Akane really showed that she is a strong girl in the sense of not being downcast with her disappointment in love, and little by little she has been showing her sweet side.

That final moment of the episode was so cute, with Akane and Ranma exchanging looks and Ranma praising Akane, but Ranma still manages to be a jerk in the end lol very good.

Ranma saying Kuno would never see him again (well, his female version) was funny. Kuno is totally obsessed with him lmao

The animation in this episode during the fight between them was pretty good too, even a lil bit of sakuga I think.

Cute scene with Akane carrying Ranma on her back. I want to see Ryoga, in the OG anime he appeared in episode 7…

Another absolutely adorable episode with so many funny moments. Ranma constantly teases her and then gets beaten up and then goes to Dr. Tofu who fixes him up actually but makes things worse when Kasumi is around. I loved the fact that Ranma was trying to console Akane when he thought she might be crying which ended up in another cute moment between them. Very cute. I love it so much.

The animation has been amazing throughout these three episodes. Loving the action scenes as well. Also, Kuno-senpai wants to have both Ranma and Akane to himself. Truly, a big player and a pervert. LOL

I don't even blame Kunou anymore, shit, I would fold for Ranma. At home, dude just sits there naked like it's nothing... lol.

But yeah, Dr. Tofu got his priorities straight, with having more a focus on his crush than his patient... which he left him with his neck sideways xD

Best episode so far by a big margin this was amazing.

Kuno continues to crack me up with his pursuit of female Ranma AND Akane, bro you can’t have your cake and eat it too 😂. Nabiki being an OG Onlyfans seller using Akane pics is crazy too lmao. But I really loved everything with Dr. Tofu. We got to see a much more vulnerable and soft side of Akane today because of her crush on him. It seems like a lot of the prickly exterior that she projects is just a defense mechanism so she doesn’t get hurt. But under all that is a very kind and sweet girl.

Love the scene of Akane and Ranma walking home from the clinic so much. The way Ranma playfully teases her and those little cute head turns.. she’s so adorable. It sucks that Tofu has a crush on her sister of all people, Akane has already struggled with being a tomboy and not as traditionally “feminine” as other girls her age so seeing her sister who is a very classic feminine girl be the object of her crush’s affections has to hurt.

“You’re cute when you smile” uh oh I think Akane’s crush is going to start to shift now lol can’t wait for next episode. This lowkey is better than UY for me story wise so far. Thanks in large part to there being an actual story developing and characters growing from ep to ep.

Ok I actually kinda ship those two now.

Ranma is right though like must be tiring being that angry all the time I can't imagine the stress.

Also Dr. Tofu has good taste the older sister is prime wife material. He might be Kasumi's type too you know he's older than her right??

Also Ranma's dad works for him now as a panda?

Nabiki is still my favorite girl so far though. Her getting money by selling Ranma and Akane's pictures was gold. Honestly she could probably get a fortune selling pictures to all the boys. As long as she doesn't give anything too NSFW she should be fine. In fact Ranma could be used for both guys and girls.

This was another nice and cozy episode. Felt more SoL than the last 2. I really love the vibe of the early Ranma 1/2 episodes the best. They feel so special.

Nabiki being Nabiki making money by using her sister and her fiance. Respect the hustle ngl. But I don't think anyone sane would date her for real. Well, that just means the insane ones might.

Kuno is one big idiot. Even after everything is so clear, he still doesn't get that Ranma and the pigtailed girl are the same person, lol. His perversion is like a mix of Ataru and Mendo, but somehow, he's dumber than both of those idiots.

Dr. Tofu is in love with Kasumi. Honestly really like his little obsession with Kasumi. It's pretty cute if you ignore all the unnecessary injuries he causes to his patients. I just hope that he'll stick around for a while

Meanwhile, I just can't get over how cutely Mappa draws Akane. Was she always this cute?

I know it's still way too early, but I almost want to call this an improvement over the original already. I'm still skeptical in making that call so soon, especially since we're still in the part of the show where the characters feel like they actually have potential before eventually stagnating into shallow, one-dimensional archetypes for the rest of the series (maybe that was just an anime thing, the manga could've been better in that regard for all I know), but at least the presentation really elevates the material. Especially with this new soundtrack, having a full orchestra really suits the tone of the series better than a guy with five keyboards and a dream. I just hope they can keep this momentum going for longer than the original did. I think next week is Ryoga's introduction, that'll be fun.

Seems like Kuno just won't let Ranma's girl version go nor try to understand that they are both the same person. In the meantime it seems like Akane just responds to Ranma's banter by hitting him, giving them more excuses to visit the doctor who basically loves someone else. Good episode to see what the status of the various relationships is as well as a bit of chemistry between the main duo.

Since it has been decades I had forgotten how cool Ranma (the character) actually is, and unlike with Urusei Yatsura where I didn't like any of the potential couples, besides Shinobu and the bunny guy, Akane and Ranma are a such a cute couple.

@NeinHumein For sure, episodes 1-12 covers volumes 1-4, but Ranma ½ ha 38 of them. Ofc something will not be adapted, but as a episodic series it's ok if they adapats the best parts of it

Ye it ain't Rumiko work if we don't have a love polygon 3 episodes in, I had a feeling and now it's confirmed. That said Akane x Ranma has been really amusing to me and they are steadily progressing? Smooth from Ranma there calling her cute when she smiles. Also Nabiko's based, doing business.

Tatewaki Kuno has been hilarious in the OG show but he's also just a funny hot-tempered dense moron here in the remake. 😂 I laughed so hard with his reactions. xD Tomokazu Sugita was a perfect choice as the voice of Kuno in this remake and he's been really great!

And just as how I remember it: Dr. Tofu becomes a clumsy airhead whenever he sees Kasumi because I know he likes her. But it's Kasumi who doesn't realize it.

Ranma x Akane dynamic has also been very sweet here in this remake. Plenty of likable characters in Ranma 1/2 and I'm hyped to see the other characters debut in this remake, especially Shampoo. <3

Funniest episode so far. My favorite part was Kuno getting simultaneously kicked in the face after his double confession. The scenes with Kuno were mostly hilarious. Looking forward to more of this, I haven’t seen the original series.

Ranma 1/2 was very first introduction into Japanese manga and anime. See this remake is so heartwarming amd nostalgic. I'm really enjoying it. Might start re-read the manga again.

I just hope netflix doesn't speed up the series.

Ranma making the moves, and Dr. Tofu making the moves are hilarious. To think we haven't met Ryoga, and Kodachi yet, but we get all the hilarity this early. Rumiko Takahashi is a genius, and MAPPA animating this adds more firepower to this beautiful anime. This is the BEST fantasy romcom of the season with yet more to come.

Kuno must wear the world's strongest blinders to ignore Ranma changing genders like that. But I'm not expecting anything more from a guy who sends the entire male student body to challenge a girl he wants to two-time on!

Poor Akane dealing with heartbreak from unrequited love. Maybe Dr Tofu's smooth piggy back ride scenario might actually push Ranma to mend that rift!

Overall this episode was a very sweet one with Ranma and Akane bonding over by walking together, sparring and visiting Dr Tofu all in one episode. I really like how they managed to crammed in 4 chapters for one episode without feeling too fast paced. The story flow seamlessly without the need to spell out the title of each chapters like UY remake. And I also prefer the pacing in this remake so much better than the OG one too.

@0451 Sure, but not all of them are good though. It's not like people watch or like the show necessarily because of them. Hey, I really like your Ranma inspired set, it's adorable.

Another hilarious episode!

Ranma and Akane is a crazy duo for sure.

Never thought about Tofu san having a crush on Akane's sister Kasumi.

But well it's a good ship too.lol
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim
