[erisi236]

I'm sure there must be some Ranma fans around here, so tell me whos your favourite Girl from the Series?

Ranma


Akane


Nabiki


Kasumi


Shampoo


Kodachi


Ukyo

[Deleted]

I haven't seen or read much of Ranma, but I like Kodachi.

[Ass Dan]

I voted for Shampoo.

Although I've never seen it, Ranma 1/2 was the first anime I ever heard about. I saw a brief column in a video game magazine when I was like 9 or 10 and it mentioned a panda...

That's all I know about the show

Kodachi, gotta love her.

You've never seen Ranma 1/2?

Okay, get off the internet right now and pick up the DVD. I didn't buy 4 volumes of the manga at Project: A-Kon for nothing.

Girl Ranma is hot, but then again, it IS still Ranma.

Therefore, I choose Shampoo.

...One anime that I've not seen.

It looks too long and has too much episodic nature.

And the lady from Inuyasha created it, and if you created Inuyasha, I in NO WAY support you. Inuyasha is the worst anime ever created that's loved by many people. It's just a horrible anime.

I'll go with Shampoo, and who was supposed to make the new Naruto thread?

I'll do it a little later.

I'm working on a ton a fan art for the thread, check my DeviantART page to see.

To defend Ranma, it's more comedic than action-y. Plus, it's 10000x better.

Again, I really can't get into light comedy with lots of romance.

The Inuyasha writer seems to make girl shonen. I'm pretty sure Inuyasha and Ranma could be considered shojo if you really wanted to place a label on it.

I was asking because I remember somebody had said on Page 31 of the last thread they'd write a reminder to post the next one. Forgot who it was though...

Some guy. I was going to make it and some guy wanted to do it. Then the guy vanished.

How can you even say that without seeing Ranma 1/2, again I only said Ranma 1/2. Its not really shojo, it is shonen.

I really can't. I'm just going on the many reviews from what friends and people have said. It's a long series, episodic and has lots of romance.

Is that wrong?

[sentonbomb]

Its more of a mixture, at least in my opinion, it does have romance, but it is really more of a harem comedy, if I had to classify it. Read it man.

Edit: I need verification on the classification from other fans of this show though.

Almost voted for Shampoo (I always thought she was tied with girl Ranma as the sexist and most skilled) but a sudden realization hit me, Kodachi is the most dangerous. Kodachi, ftw.

btw, she created the manga (which moves much faster) not the anime but I'm sure you know the difference.

Yes. It has lots of comedy and a little romance. Whoever told you the reverse was wrong. The series is like Urusei Yatsura, not InuYasha.

Genderbending harem comedy sounds about right, if anything the romance is a backdrop for hijinks. Genderbending harem comedy has been a hallmark of Rumiko Takahashi, she does it right.

Ranma was published in Shonen Jump as was UY so that should tell you something about who it was aimed at. Really, besides comedy fanservice was the other thing it offered in large amounts. ..just like UY.

InuYasha is like Maison Ikkoku, not Ranma 1/2.
Ranma 1/2 is like UY, not InuYasha.

But for great ecchi genderbending fun check out Ranma1/2 and Futaba-kun Change.

I don't why western fans attempt to pigeon hold anime in terms of gender. Really, the lines between what's "for girls" and what's "for guys" is very blurry.

Last night I watched most of the 4th season of Ranma and some of the 2nd season and I must say anything involving Tatewaki Kuno and sex with the pigtailed girl is comedic gold.

_{go to youtube and watch the eps. I won't tell}


The Kuno siblings kick ass.
