Rumiko Week Day 7: Character Development

[ryodan]

Rumiko week day 3 : Favorite Male Character (The shameless half woman) (I asked Rumiko sensei what her favorite Ranma line is and she said 'the one he says while he's fighting his dad, 'hey that's my pickle!' I think you can condense all of ranma as a person into that one line' -Kappei Yamaguchi, the voice of Ranma Saotome) No one else even came to mind! Ranma, Ranma, Ranma. Where do I even begin? I know you can throw him into the jerk with a heart of gold trope, but you also generally can't, because unless you count his 'foot in mouth syndrome but pls dont blame me I have 0 social experience' he's a ridiculously nice guy (Think being nice to Konatsu, Tsubasa when sad, Ryoga, saving Herb after what he did, generally protective of his schoolmates and even his pesky suitors) and kind of a man of virtue unless you count how petty he gets in battle and how low he can stoop when his pride is on the line. I realize that he IS a nice friendly guy, but his pride happens to be his MAJOR character flaw. No way to describe the sucker except by referencing to Rumikos opinions, he's nice, clean cut, kind, frank, indecisive, picky, stingy, sly, manipulative and has an ego the size of Tokyo. And I love every bit of him.

Rumiko Week - August 24th: Favourite Series - Urusei Yatsura

The funny thing is that Urusei Yatsura isn’t my first introduction to Rumiko Takahashi. Like many other people of my age, that honor belonged to Ranma 1/2, which I bought the manga of when it was being released two chapters an issue by Viz. Unlike Ranma however, Urusei Yatsura’s anime did have a release in the UK thanks to AnimEigo, so that became my first Takahashi anime.

Urusei Yatsura as a series contains a mix of many things that other shows, either anime or otherwise, try to emulate but wind up screwing up. There’s screwball romance and strange love triangles, there’s the fantastic colliding head-on with the mundane, there’s comedy and drama, and it’s all in the same place and it’s all in the same package.

Now that I’m older and hopefully wiser, there are some things about Urusei Yatsura that aren’t as good as I would hope it to be. But as a whole, it is one hell of a series, and a hell of a serialized debut for Takahashi. It’s an anime and manga that was a touchstone for so many back then. And even now, it still has that something that keeps me coming back to it, again and again.

That’s my Rumiko Week done. Thanks for reading, everyone.

Rumiko Week - August 23rd: Character Development

Lum: Remember when she was the dangerous interloper in Ataru and Shinobu’s relationship? Ataru could probably also count here too, as he goes from supremely unlucky and hormonal yet somewhat average high schooler to a guy who can run 100m in seven seconds to chase after a pretty face.

Ryouga: He started out as Ranma’s blood rival out for vengeance, became a rival for the heart of Akane, and eventually grew into one of Ranma’s closest friends and comrades.

Shinobu: Kind of a interesting one here. Shinobu sort of starts out as Ataru’s love interest, but she starts to pursue Mendou as soon as he makes his first appearance. But then she starts to tire of Mendou, and she increasingly moves away from just being Mendou’s hanger-on.

Rumiko Week- Most Relatable Character: Sesshomaru

[little-known-artist]

@rumikoweek day 7:Character Development.

Sesshomaru had a huge development period, all thanks to little Rin kickstarting his ability to care for others. He starts off trying to kill his biological brother, but by the end of the series he’s basically adopted two children who he acts as a big brother to, and he has saved his real brother’s life on several occasions.
