So i started watching Ranma 1/2 the remake (im loving it so far for the record) and i wanted to ask
What changes does the remake have from the original??? Like, i knew of ranma 1/2 but never really watch it because im always scare watching old romance animes 'cause of the tropes at the time (u actually make me try it out and i am really considering watching the orginal completly)
Other than a crazy animation upgrade, so far it's pretty true to the original manga. The few changes are pretty subtle but they add up to create a softer picture:
-Akane momentarily getting up from her knees and shouting when Genma first grabs Ranma to throw him into the pond
-Ranma thinking back pensively about Akane saying she'd hate to lose to a guy when he's grumbling about her losing all her niceness after finding out the truth
-When their fathers say they're already a couple, Akane says "we're not, we're FIGHTING!" instead of "He's a couple by himself!"
There's only two episodes, but this already sets up Akane to be a little nicer and Ranma to be a little more thoughtful (not in a kind way but in a slow-down-and-think way). And it shows that the writers are going out of their way to consider the language they're using - Akane is still accusing Ranma of being a pervert because of the Bath Incident, but she's not going out of her way to weaponize his curse against him when she's angry.
It's been forever since I watched the original anime, and I definitely didn't watch every episode (there's so muuuuuch filler!), but compared to the manga, these are very deliberate little details that I think are going in a very good direction.
If you're going to watch the original, just know this: it's ultimately a comedy. Some jokes are going to fall flat depending on your mileage, some jokes rely on old pervy humor (mostly when Happosai comes in, everyone's least favorite character -_-) or the punchline being someone punched into the sun, and some things that probably should be taken more seriously, uh, aren't. Characters fall in love for nothing, and the main characters are two Tsunderes from before the phrase was ever coined.
Once you fall into the tone of what you're watching, it's a very enjoyable ride. I really hope you check it out!
