| It's easier to watch this since it'll release weekly and one episode per week is not much compared to the old one which has 100+ EPs. It's Canon and yeah it's good. I haven't seen Ranma either and I'm watching it for the first time too and enjoying it. |
 |
| This is an adaptation of the best manga arcs plus the manga ending. The original has fillers and ended before the manga. So either will be enjoyable but different experiences |
| I would only watch the older version for the nudity and larger episode count, otherwise the remake is pretty solid. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| I don't see the reason why should anyone watch the old series. The only thing that lacks in new one are no nipples, but that's it. |
 |
| The old series likely will have more episodes than the remake will ever get. I highly suggest watching the og. |
 |
| we do not know how many chapters they will adapt for this remake but so far its very fast pace and very enjoyable |
| The original is still the best adaptation for me thanks to the character design, Kenji Kawai's music and the fan-service. |

| I recommend the uncensored original, if you're not interested in this, watch the remake |
 |
| The original has two seasons. One with 18 episodes (Ranma 1/2) and one with 143 episodes (Ranma 1/2 Nettou Hen). Occasionally both seasons are treated as one anime. I recommend to watch the first season of the original anime, as it is the most charming. The second season is too long and repeats the same jokes over and over without any character making any kind of progress. A bit like an American sitcom. The new anime is supposedly following the manga, but with the casual nudity removed and probably a bunch of offensive™ jokes cut out, given Netflix' involvement. We'll see. |
| as far as I remember, the remake follows the show froms the 80s pretty closely, but with nicer animation. It's your call if you want to watch all 150+ episodes of the original |
| They are both great, but if you are new to Ranma, watch the new version as this follows the manga very closely and has nicer animation. This season will run for one cour, which is expected to cover the first 18 episodes of the original series, plue the three episodes involving the Golden Pair that were supposed to air as episodes 14-16 but were bumped to the second season because it came out at a time when there was a surge in kidnappings in Japan. But if you feel like you want more, the original series is also great to watch. Just keep in mind that about midway through the series it becomes a fillerfest, and episodes follow a mostly episodic formula from there. There are also numerous stylistic changes involved in the original series, such has having some of the stuff that's supposed to happen in the summer happening during the winter, among other things. Nevertheless, it's insanely funny stuff that's worth watching if you feel the need to watch more Ranma. |
| Tne original has a lot, A LOT, of episodes that do not add any sort of progress to the plot. If you're the type of watcher who has a problem with that, I suggest just sticking to the remake, which most likely will get rid of the vast majority of them. |
| Just got back to this anime (last watched ep 2, was watching other series) But... man, there sure is a lot of thread talking about the censorship and apparently people that hates fanservice... . Well, if you really hate fanservice so much, you might as we just watch the new one with censorship. But there will still be some fanservices here and there, cause that's just the way they originally design it when they made Ranma do gender changes... The only reason a lot of series now censors is cause of new age laws about showing nipples on TV, which didn't quite exist that much back when a lot of anime aired in the 80~early 2000s and showed nipples of either male or female. There are only a few special late night stations that airs uncensor or when Blueray uncensor is releaed. (as a note, not all Blueray will be uncensored, more and more series tends to just leave the censorship in for less work, and people will still be buying them regardless) |
