Was one of the first anime series I was watching on purpose, not because it was broadcast. Too bad I never finished, and afaik it doesn’t cover all the manga (which I didn’t finish either 😭)
lol, well fuck, I was a huge ranma fan back in the day
a friend of mine from church recommend this to me a full decade before my egg cracked, i got about halfway through season 2 before stopping because i couldn’t process the feelings. i read the manga this year (after being out for almost a year) and it’s pretty good
Can you imagine if they made this cartoon today?
Oof I’ll never forget getting the first Ranma 1/2 manga as a kid. It was my first egg moment. All I could think was how I’d never touch hot water again.
I don’t even know why I got that manga, had never heard of it but it was on a list of manga that my local book store could order and I just randomly picked it. It took over 25 years after that for my egg to break but Ranma 1/2 awoke something in me. Growing up when and where I did I couldn’t really explore those feelings and ideas but I never stopped thinking about it.
when i was 11 i watched it and i didnt understand why they kept saying this was a curse because “it would be cool to be able to switch between genders like that” and “doesnt everyone wanna be both male and female??” clueless genderfluid child. i know several trans people whether nonbinary, transfem or transmasc that had their awakening because of ranma 1/2. Rumiko Takahashi cracked a lot of eggs with that series.
