Miroku0716 Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Caught the 1st episode on Netflix. I've actually never seen the 1989 original. But I an obvious fan of the author Rumiko Takahashi (I.e. Inu yasha ) I gotta say its got a nice clean style that stays loyal to its manga art. Episode 1 Synopsis "In Tokyo of the 1980s, the Martial Arts Tendo Dojo lives Mr. Tendo along with his three daughters; the eldest Kasumi, the middle Nabiki, and the youngest Akane. Mr. Tendo informs them that one of them are going to marry Ranma Saotome, the son of his friend Genma. The father and son go on journeys to sharpen their martial art skills and they crossed into China on their latest trip, the Tendos are met by a panda and girl who turns out to be Ranma, Ranma takes a bath and when Akane goes in to Ranma a boy is in there, the boy is in fact Ranma. Ranma and his father Genma are the girl and the panda from before and they explain it happened two weeks ago in China they traveled to the legendary training ground Jusenkyo, but no one uses it anymore as it dangerous due to over a hundred natural springs form there and each has a tragic legend, during their fight Genma falls in a spring and comes out as a panda, the springs are cursed so when a person falls in a spring they become cursed and Ranma falls in a spring and comes out as a girl. But their curse is an on and off switch; they transform when they touch cold water and they return back when they touch hot water. Ranma and Akane both do not want the engagement despite having similar personalities." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

André Toulon Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 (edited) Holy shit, Ranma's back. I could never find a way to watch the show (sure I can now tho) but I had the SNES game and got marginally acquatinted with the characters. Also saw a few translated cells from the manga...not sure the accuracy, but I always wanted to know more. Now's as good a time as any Edited November 7 by André Toulon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miroku0716 Posted November 16 Author Share Posted November 16 (edited) I'm still loving it, starting to see some similarities between some characters and inuyasha characters. I know I'm late to this but it makes it hilarious to me Edited November 16 by Miroku0716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
