【海外の反応】らんま1/2 第3期1話、「料理が化学なら、あかねは国際条約違反だ」

乱馬ってほんと嫌な奴だよな。あかねみたいないい子にはもったいない。

Ranma is such a d**k. He doesn't deserve a sweetheart like Akane.

だよな、良牙と一緒になったほうが幸せだわ。

>>1

Yeah she’d be better off with ryoga.

良牙ならあんな年上好きの噛ませ犬よりいい相手が見つかるだろ

>>2

Ryoga could do better than that Daddy-lusting jobber

>3期
いやー、みんなそんなに規制が好きだったとは知らなかったわ。

>S3
Man, I didn't know people enjoyed censorship so much.

>新商品を素直に消費しない奴は本当のファンじゃない
/v/にいるのかと思ったわ。

>if you don't just consume the new product you are not a real fan
Is as if I'm in /v/.

よく言った。
キャラクターを大事にしてる映像化ってのはいいもんだ。

BA
SED.
It's great to have an adaptation that respects the characters.

マジでなんでこのカットだけこんなに気合入れて作画したんだ

genuinely why did they decide to animate this cut so hard

いい章だからだろ。

>>7

Because this is a great arc.

観る気はないけど、今期のツバサ編と石鹸の話でどれだけ規制が入るか見るためだけにスレは覗くわ

Not gonna watch it, but I'm going to lurk the threads just to see all the stuff they censor in the Tsubasa arc and the Soap arc adaptations this season

>OPでツバサがゴミ箱に入ったままだった
ってことは、あいつの章はそこまでひどく規制されたり切り刻まれたりしないっていういい兆しかも？

>>9

>They left Tsubasa in the trashcan in the OP
Maybe a good sign that they won’t censor and butcher his arc too badly?

ツバサが物に隠れ続けるのは当たり前だろ。それがあいつの基本のギャグなんだから。

>>10

Tsubasa was obviously going to keep hiding in stuff. That's the principle gag.

結構いろいろ変えてるぞ。順番だけじゃなくて、アニオリキャラを足したり、最大6話分の原作を1話に詰め込んだり。それに裸と関係ないしょうもない規制もある。人民帽を変えたり、中国なまりを控えめにしたり、服から「中国」の文字を消したり。
こんなの全然忠実じゃない。好きなのは勝手だけど、1989年版みたいに7期・161話・OVA12本・映画3本までは行かないと思うね

>291386095
>291385516
They changed plenty of stuff, not only the order, but added anime original characters and mixed up to 6 manga chapters onto a single episode, plus silly non nudity relate censorship such as changing the commie had, making the Chinese accent less over the top, removing the word China from clothing and so on
This ain't faithful at all, you can like it, but I don't think it will reach 7 seasons, 161 episodes, 12 OVAs and 3 Movies like the 1989 anime did

旧アニメはクソだったし、こっちはもっとクソ。高橋留美子の作品を楽しめる奴の気が知れない

the original anime was s**t and this is bigger s**t, I can't understand people enjoying Rumiko Takahashit's works

『うる星やつら』の旧アニメを観ろ。『めぞん一刻』を観ろ。

>>13

Watch the original Urusei Yatsura. Watch Maison Ikkoku.

へえ？ もっと怒りっぽくしたのか、それとも適当なもんを放り込むシーンが増えただけ？

Oh? Did they make her angrier or just had more sequences of her putting random crap in?

>適当なもんを放り込むシーンが増えた
それと、ぶりっ子してた。

>>15

>more sequences of her putting random crap in
This and she was acting cutesy.

みんな気に入ってたっぽいな。

>>16

Seems like people liked it.

>OPが乱あより乱馬と良牙中心
MAPPAはこれで何が言いたいんだ？

>OP centers more around Ranma/Ryoga than Rankane
What did MAPPA mean by this?

1期のOPでも乱馬とあかねに同じ泡のモチーフ使ってたぞ

>>18

they used this same bubble motif in the S1 OP for Ranma and Akane

あかねのアニオリの台詞「恋に性別なんて関係ない」って、実はリメイクがいずれ原作から離れて、乱馬がずっと女の姿のままでいることを選んで良牙と結婚する独自エンドになる伏線だったりする？

>>18 >>19

Was Akane’s anime original line of “love knows gender” actually foreshadowing that the remake is gonna eventually diverge from the manga and give it it’s own ending of Ranma choosing to remain permanently in her female form and marry Ryoga?

>この作品で本物の女はあかねだけだ。
こっちはそこでついていけなくなったわ。あかねは古風な女とは程遠いだろ。ダメ親父に持てなかった息子の代わりとしてわざわざ育てられて、それすら失敗してる。あかねの本物なところなんて、根っからの負け犬ってことだけだ。

>Akane is the only authentic woman in the entire series.
Here's where you lost me, because she is anything but a trad woman, purposefully raised by her s**t dad to be a son he never had and fails at even that. The only thing authentic about Akane is that she's a built loser.

「古風な女」なんて存在しないんだよ。高橋留美子はかすみのキャラで大和撫子の型を、笑えるくらいの茶番になるまで誇張してはっきり皮肉ってる。
本物の女はあかねだけ。これは、らんまの女性ファン（腐女子とエロ目当てを除く）がみんなあかねを一番好きなキャラに挙げてるって事実で実証されてる

>>21

"Trad women" don't exist. Takahashi is explicitly mocking the Yamato nadeshiko archetype with Kasumi's character by dialing it up to the point where is becomes farcical for laughs.

Akane is the only real woman. This conclusion is empirically confirmed by the fact that every female Ranma fan (who isn't a fujo/coomer) has her as their favorite

>これは、らんまの女性ファン（腐女子とエロ目当てを除く）がみんなあかねを一番好きなキャラに挙げてるって事実で実証されてる
その妄想まみれの決めつけのソースを出せよ。

>>22

>This conclusion is empirically confirmed by the fact that every female Ranma fan (who isn't a fujo/coomer) has her as their favorite
Cite a source for this delusional generalization.

つまり作り話ってことね、了解。あかね擁護派って情けないな。

So you made that up, got it. Akane apologists are pathetic.

いや、情けなくなんかないよ。お前が真実を知らないだけ。大丈夫、みんな自分のペースで学んでいくものだから。
いや、高橋留美子は『うる星』でラムをメインヒロインにしたんだから、そういうことじゃない。成熟するにつれて、もっと地に足の着いたリアルな女キャラに惹かれていったんだよ。

>>24

Nope, I'm not pathetic. You're just unfamiliar with the truth. It's okay, we all learn at our own pace.

Nope, she allowed Lum to be the main love interest of UY so it isn't that. As she matured, she was drawn to more grounded and real female characters.

>いや、高橋留美子は『うる星』でラムをメインヒロインにしたんだから、そういうことじゃない。
むしろ、ラムのほうが人気が出たから、しのぶと入れ替えろって編集に「押し切られた」んだろ。それ以来ずっと根に持ってるんだよ。

>>25

>Nope, she allowed Lum to be the main love interest of UY so it isn't that.
More like “was bullied into it” by her editor to replace Shinobu because Lum got more popular and she’s been seething about it ever since.

ぼかした書き方すんなよ。女性ファンに一番人気の女キャラは誰だ？ あかねより愛されてるのは誰だと思ってんの？

Don't vaguepost. Who's the most popular girl amongst female fans? Who do think they love more than Akane?

シャンプーとなびき

>>27

Shampoo and Nabiki

で、こんきのメニューにはどんな話が載ってるんだ？

So, what stories do we have on the menu for this season?

よし、PVを一通り見てみたぞ：
「良牙、帰省する」103〜105話
「クッキー対決」81〜84話
「女傑族の惚れ薬」92〜94話
「紅つばさ」100〜102話
「格闘茶道」56〜58話
「水をはじく石けん」120〜124話

>>29

Here, let me go through the trailer:

Ryoga Goes Home, chapters 103-105
Cookie Battle, chapters 81-84
Amazon Love Pills, chapters 92-94
Tsubasa Kurenai, chapters 100-102
Martial Arts Tea Ceremony, chapters 56-58
Waterproof Soap, 120-124

いい話ばっかだな。茶道のはあんまり覚えてないけど、クッキーのやつは楽しみ

>>30

Good stories; although I don't remember much about the tea ceremony, I'm looking forward to the cookie one.

翼の話か。どう転んでもネット中を巻き込んで大論争になるのは確定だな

>>29

Tsubasa’s arc, which will definitely cause a big melty of discourse extending across the entire interwebz no matter how it plays out.

>3期連続でクソOP
これって記録か？

>3 s**t openings in a row
Is it a record?

旧アニメは4連続だったぞ

>>33

The og had 4 in a row.

このOPだと、あかねとシャンプーが主役の女子高生百合アニメにしか見えない。乱馬なんて数フレームしか映ってないし

>>34

this opening makes the series look like a highschool yuri starring Akane and Shampoo. Ranma is only in it for a few frames

前のOPはきれいだったけどな

>>33

Last OP was beautiful.

今回のあかねは、自分が最悪のヒロインだと全力で証明しにきてた。

In this episode Akane did her best to convince everyone she is the worst girl

俺の嫁アニメキャラはこんな感じ：
1. 天道あかね
2. 惣流・アスカ・ラングレー
3. 『ふしぎの海のナディア』のナディア
4. 火野レイ
5. 『フルーツバスケット』の草摩慊人
これって俺の趣味について何を物語ってる？

>>37

My anime waifus are as follows:
1. Akane Tendo
2. Asuka Langley
3. Nadia from Secret of Blue Water
4. Rei Hino
5. Akito Sohma from Fruits Basket
What does this say about my taste?

あかねには、りょうがのほうがふさわしい

Ryoga deserves Akane

↑良牙アンチ乙

>>39

t. Ryoga hater

この書き込み、ちっちゃい豚の手で打ってるだろ

>>39

Small pig hands typed this post.

>非モテのオタク女子
それこそが本当のターゲット層

>femcel nerdy women
The real target audience.

>それこそが本当のターゲット層
じゃあなんで高橋留美子の作品はどれも少年漫画扱いで、少女誌じゃなくて少年誌に載ってるんだよ？

>>42

>The real target audience.
Then why are all her works labeled shonen and published in shonen magazines instead of shoujo ones?

そっちのほうが読者が多いからだよ。格闘アクションと、たまにちょっとしたお色気を入れとけば男子にも売れる

>>43

Bigger audience. Throw in some martial art action and occasionally titties and you can sell it to boys too.

……さすがにあかねも、ここで自分が理不尽なこと言ってるのは分かってるよな

...surely Akane realizes how unreasonable she's being here.

分かってるけど、ただ愚痴ってるだけなんだよ。それに、みんなも逃げ出すんじゃなくて何か言ってやればよかったんだ。もちろん長い目で見たらどうなるかはみんな知ってるけど、あかねの料理に関するコンプレックスも、ここまで大ごとにはならなかったかもしれない

>>45

Yes, but she's just venting. And they could've said something rather than ran off. Of course, we all knows how this turns out in the long run but Akane's sour spot regarding cooking might've not turned into such a big deal.

良牙がしゃしゃり出てきて、心にもないのにあかねの料理をかばったりしなけりゃ、たぶん丸く収まってたと思う

>>46

It probably would've worked out if Ryoga didn't pop up to insincerely defend her cooking.

>……さすがにあかねも、ここで自分が理不尽なこと言ってるのは分かってるよな
乱馬を叩いて最悪の方向に考えられるなら、理由なんて何でもいいんだよ

>>45

>...surely Akane realizes how unreasonable she's being here.
Any excuse to hate on Ranma and think the absolute worst of him.

乱馬とあかね、あれだけ積み上げておいて、[ネタバレ] 最後に乱馬とくっつくのはお好み焼きを焼くボーイッシュな子だっていうんだから [/ネタバレ] すごい話だよな

Crazy how Ranma and Akane had all this buildup [spoiler] Only for Ranma to end up with the Tomboy who makes pancakes [/spoiler] at the end

右京はとにかく最高の女の子なんだよ

>>49

Ukyo is just that best girl.

まあ、告知されてる内容はもう分かってるからな。だいたい5つくらいのエピソードだ。そんなにあちこち飛ぶわけじゃない。茶道、良牙の妹、クッキー……

I mean, we know what they have advertised, which is basically five or so arcs. It isn't jumping around much. We got tea ceremony, ryoga's sister, cookies..

>良牙の妹
やっとかよ

>>51

>ryoga's sister
f*****g finally.

「良牙、帰省する」103〜105話
「クッキー対決」81〜84話
「女傑族の惚れ薬」92〜94話
「紅つばさ」100〜102話
「格闘茶道」56〜58話
「水をはじく石けん」120〜124話
PVを一通り確認した。要するに、前に飛ばした話がいくつかと、あとは主に9巻と10巻の話だな。「水をはじく石けん」で11巻と12巻の話を少し飛ばすことになるけど、ちょっと順番を入れ替えてるだけかもしれない

>>51 >>52

Ryoga Goes Home, chapters 103-105
Cookie Battle, chapters 81-84
Amazon Love Pills, chapters 92-94
Tsubasa Kurenai, chapters 100-102
Martial Arts Tea Ceremony, chapters 56-58
Waterproof Soap, 120-124

I went through the trailer. Basically, some stuff we skipped and then mainly stuff from Volume 9 and 10. Though we skip some stuff in Volume 11 and 12 with Waterproof Soap, but it might just be a bit of reordering.

翼の話、どれだけ台無しにされると思う？

>>53

How bad will they f**k up Tsubasa?

P ちゃんの件があるせいで、あの2人のライバル関係を真面目に見られないんだよな。乱馬が握ってる弱みが大きすぎる。おまけに乱馬のほうが強いし。関係のバランスが偏りすぎてて緊張感がまるでない。ギャグ漫画だから狙ってそうしてるんだろうけど、それでもちょっと物足りない

I can't take their rivalry seriously because of the whole P-Chan thing. It gives Ranma too much leverage. It also doesn't help that he's stronger. Their dynamic is way to imbalanced and there isn't any tension. I guess that was what was intended since it's a gag manga but it's still kinda lame

乱馬のほうがずっと強いからこそ成り立ってるんだよ。だからタチの悪いライバルたちは汚い手を使うしかなくなる

>>55

It only works because Ranma is so much stronger, so his asshole rivals need to resort to dirty tricks.

でも、いくら強いって言っても、他のライバルについては致命的に恥ずかしいネタなんて握ってないだろ。乱馬は良牙より強くて、頭も良くて、技も上で、しかもその気になればいつでも良牙とあかねの仲をぶち壊せる。良牙に何が残ってるんだ？
秘密を守ってるのは乱馬自身の選択だよ。あかねに言う必要すらなくて、さっき貼ったページみたいに良牙を水に落とすだけでよかった。それで乱馬のほうが損をしてるのは、純粋に善意でやってるってことだから、かえって乱馬の株が上がるだけなんだよ

>>56 >>58

He doesn't have totally humiliating information on the other rivals though even if he's stronger. Ranma is stronger than Ryoga, smarter than him, more skilled than him AND also can just destroy his chances with Akane whenever he wants. What does Ryoga have?

It's his own choice to keep it secret. He doesn't even have to tell Akane he could have just let Ryoga fall into the water like in the pages I linked above. Him suffering as a result just makes him more look good because he is doing it purely altruistically

それって本当に弱みを握ってることになるか？　良牙の正体を守ろうとして酷い目に遭うのは、たいてい乱馬のほうだろ

>>55

Is it really leverage when it's usually Ranma that gets in trouble due to protecting Ryoga's identity?

良牙は見てて面白いんだよ。鉄板のお約束ネタが3つくらいあるし。それに一途でバカなところが愛おしい

>>57

Ryoga has entertainment value. He has like, three great running gags. And he's endearingly earnest and stupid.

もっと見せ場があればいいのにな。特に「本気の」ライバルって位置づけなんだし

>>59

I wish he had more especially since he's supposed to be the "serious" rival

確かに、最終的には乱馬のほうが強いって分かってるし、乱馬を追い込む良牙の技も「小技」扱いになってるけど、だからって緊張感がまったく無いわけじゃない。爆砕点穴とか、あのでっかい鬱の玉の技とかは、少なくとも俺は乱馬がどう返すのか気になって入り込めた

>>60

Sure, the fact that we now know that Ranma is ultimately stronger and that the Ryoga moves that put Ranma on the backfoot are "tricks" doesn't mean that there isn't ANY suspense. Breaking Point and like, the big depression ball move all manage to get at least me invested in how Ranma answers them.

あかねの料理のカット、作画でやる切り抜き稼ぎだろ。すげえ。

That Akane cooking cut was the animation equivalent of clipfarming holy

あのシーンは、このシリーズの基準で見てもめちゃくちゃ作画が良かった（前のシーズンの大バトルくらいのレベル）。MAPPAがこのリメイクで何を企んでるのか知らんけど、好きにやらせとくわ

The scene was extremely well animated, even for the series standards (like, last season big fights had that level). Idk what mappa is cooking with this remake, but I'll let them do their thing

好きにやらせとけ。

Let them cook

あの料理シーンの作画、あかねの実際の料理の腕と同じくらいやりすぎてて笑う

They made that cooking animation as extra as Akane's actual cooking skill lol.

料理シーンの作画でこれより上か同じくらいのものはたぶん他にもあるけど、ここまで出来のいい「下手な料理」の作画を見たのは間違いなく初めてだわｗ

There's probably better or at least on par good cooking animations out there, but it's certainly my first time seeing such a well done bad cooking animation lmao.

ほんとそれ。キレッキレでぬるぬる動くし、予算と才能を全部この料理シーンにつぎ込んだみたいだった

Fr it's so crisp and fluid as if they put all their budget and talent into this cooking scene

MAPPAにしては有意義な予算の使い方だったな

That was budget well-spent on MAPPA's part.

この作品が戻ってきてくれて嬉しい。懐かしさと新鮮さが同時にある。また格闘ラブコメのドタバタが1シーズン見られるのが楽しみ

I'm glad this show is back. It feels both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. Looking forward to another season of martial arts romcom shenanigans.

バトルにしろ、キャラが飛び回るところにしろ、あかねの料理にしろ、作画の良さではラブコメの中でもトップクラスじゃないか！

Probably one of the most well-animated romcoms too between all the fights, characters bouncing around, and Akane's cooking!

みんならんまの強さのインフレを感じてる。ごくうとベジータの構図だ。

Everyone is feeling Ranmas power creep. The goku vs vegeeta struggle

ついに『らんま』で強さ議論が始まったの、最高だな。

I love that we're now getting into Ranma power scaling lol.

まえのきでもう壁や小さい建物を壊せるレベルだった。触れるだけで岩を砕くしんわざで、さらに格上げできるな。

I mean, they were already wall to small building the last seasons, now with the new move that destroys boulders with one touch we could upscale them even more

玄馬パンダの看板ネタ、そこらのギャグアニメ丸々1シーズンより笑いを稼いでる。看板だけで会話してるのに毎回ウケるんだよな

the genma panda sign gags are still doing more comedic heavy lifting than most full seasons of comedy anime. dude communicates entirely through signage and it works every time

ワイリー・コヨーテとロードランナーもそうだよな。高橋留美子って昔のルーニー・テューンズの短編を見てたんじゃないかと思う。初期の作品のマンガ的なお約束がまさにそれで、『うる星やつら』の1話で穴からバッグス・バニーがひょっこり出てきても驚かないレベル 😛

See also Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner - I wonder if Rumiko Takahashi ever watched some of the old Looney Tunes shorts, because the cartoon logic in her early manga, you'd almost expect Bugs Bunny to pop out of a hole in an Urusei Yatsura chapter. 😛

嘘だろ、あかねが乱馬をほっぽって良牙の面倒を見に行くなんて。俺の推しカプがまたしても試練にさらされてる😭

Noooo Akane bailing on Ranma to take care of Ryoga, my OTP is going through the wringer once again 😭

良牙にとって一番いい出来事が、本人が一番嫌がってること（豚になることと、乱馬にボコられること）っていうのが好き。
なぜかって？　あかねが良牙に優しいのは、主にその2つのおかげだから

I love how the best thing to happen to Ryoga are the things he hate most: being a pig and getting beat up by Ranma.
Why? Because they're the main reasons Akane is so sweet on him.

料理が化学なら、あかねは国際条約違反だ

If cooking is chemistry, then Akane is an international treaty violator

あかねの乱馬への愛はほんとに歪んでるｗ

Akane's love for Ranma is truly toxic lol.

あかねのカレー、ヨル（『SPY×FAMILY』）といい勝負できそうｗ ドリアンなんて単体でもキツいのに、干した発酵魚入りの世界一しょっぱいカレーに入れるとか想像もつかないｗ

Akane’s curry might give Yor a run for her money lol. Durian is rough on its own. I can’t even imagine it in the world’s saltiest curry with dried fermented fish lol.

全部を台無しにしたのは酢だよ。あれさえなければ大丈夫だった！

It's obvious that the vinegar is what threw everything off. Without that it would've been fine!

あかねはメシマズキャラの元祖のひとりだよな

Akane is one of the OG s**t cooks.

先週の土曜に『MAO』が終わって、今週の土曜にはすぐらんま1/2。高橋留美子ファンにとって今が一番いい時期だわ。
新OPは最高。曲のキャッチーさは2期のOPにまだ及ばないと思うけど、アクションの多さには驚いた。予告や宣伝を見る限り、今期はかなりアクション寄りになりそう。
アクション作画の予算が前期からかなり上がってるっぽい。前期が悪かったわけじゃないけど、3期で予算が増えるなんて珍しいよ。普通は1期が作画のピークだからな。このシリーズにやっと相応の力を入れるって決めた人、ありがとう。
第1話からめちゃくちゃ楽しかった。あかねの料理シーンを見てくれよ。普通ああいう場面はカットを挟みまくって誤魔化すもんだけど、あそこまでしっかり動いてた。今期だけじゃなく、この先のシーズンにも期待が持てる。
EDも良かった。これまでのEDに続いて乱あ推しなのが最高。

After MAO ended last Saturday, we immediately got Ranma 1/2 this Saturday. It's truly the best time to be a fan of Rumiko Takahashi.
The new OP is great. I don't think the song is as catchy as the 2nd OP yet, but I'm surprised by how much action it has. And judging by the trailers and marketing, it seems this season will be much more action-focused.
The action animation budget has seemingly gotten a huge upgrade over last season, not that they were bad. But it's unusual for a series to increase its budget in its 3rd season. Usually the first season is at its peak animation-wise. Whoever's decision it was to give this series the attention it finally deserves, thank you.
Even the first episode was so fun to watch. Just look at the scene of Akane's cooking. Normally, scenes like that would probably be interrupted by lots of cutaways, but even that had great animation. This gives me high hopes for not just this season but also future seasons.
The ED was also great. I love that it's continuing the RanKane focus from the previous EDs.

＞あかねの料理シーンを見てくれよ。普通ああいう場面はカットを挟みまくって誤魔化すもんだけど、あそこまでしっかり動いてた
「あかねは料理が下手」ってのはキャラの根幹で、昔のらんまの二次創作はほぼ全部そこに触れてたくらいだから、最初から全力で行きたかったんだろうな。

Just look at the scene of Akane's cooking. Normally, scenes like that would probably be interrupted by lots of cutaways, but even that had great animation.
Given how “Akane is a bad cook” is such a critical part of her character that nearly every Ranma fanfic back in the day touched on it, I guess they really wanted to hit the floor running.

＞EDも良かった。これまでのEDに続いて乱あ推しなのが最高
確かにかわいいEDだけど、2期のEDみたいに全員で踊ってるのが恋しい自分もいる。

The ED was also great. I love that it's continuing the RanKane focus from the previous EDs
It's definitely a cute ED but there's a part of me that misses everyone dancing like in the season 2 ED.

＞アクション作画の予算が前期からかなり上がってるっぽい。前期が悪かったわけじゃないけど、3期で予算が増えるなんて珍しいよ。普通は1期が作画のピークだからな
1期と2期は同じ制作サイクルで作られてたんだと思う。あとは推測だけど、最近MAPPAが『呪術廻戦』と『チェンソーマン』で当ててるから、ほかの作品にも余裕が回ってきたんじゃないかな。
残念ながら割を食ってるのは『地獄楽』っぽいけど。

The action animation budget has seemingly gotten a huge upgrade over last season, not that they were bad. But it's unusual for a series to increase its budget in its 3rd season. Usually the first season is at its peak animation-wise. Whoever's decision it was to give this series the attention it finally deserves, thank you.
I assume that S1 and S2 were made in the same production timecycle. Now I can only guess with how well Mappa has done with JJK and CSM lately that it is a boost in their other projects.
Sadly looks like Jigo is the one missing out on this.

今期やってるなんて知りもしなかった！
シャンプーがちらっとしか出なかったのは物足りないけど、まあ良しとする。

I didn't even know it was airing this season!

I wish there was more than just a glimpse of Shampoo, but I'll take it.

＞シャンプーがちらっとしか出なかったのは物足りないけど、まあ良しとする
OPと登場シーンのシャンプーが好き。アニメーターが「シャンプーがかわいいのは分かってるから全力で見せつけてやる」って感じで描いてたよな。

I wish there was more than just a glimpse of Shampoo, but I'll take it.
I love her scene in the OP and in her introduction where it felt like the animators were like "Shampoo is cute and we know it so we're going to flex it for all its worth."

マジで、OPのあんな短いシーンなのにシャンプーがめちゃくちゃきれいに描かれててびっくりした。乱馬が帰ってきた途端、誰が一番のヒロインか思い出させに来てるわ。

Genuinely, I was legit shocked how pretty she was drawn for such a short scene in the OP. Ranma’s back and so Shampoo is waiting no time reminding us who best girl is.

前期はシャンプーのシーズンだった。今期は良牙のシーズンだな。

Last season was Shampoo season. Now it's Ryoga season.

帰ってきたぞ！そして良牙かわいそう！乱馬の一方的なボコりっぷりがすごかった。九能先輩のときみたいに全部ギャグで済ませるんじゃなくて、乱馬が強くなりすぎたせいで良牙が完全に恥をかかされるところをちゃんと見せてくれるのがいい。
で、良牙はシャンプーのばあちゃんと組むことに。ばあちゃんはあかねを排除して乱馬をシャンプーと結婚させたいわけだ。でもばあちゃんが良牙に教えてる技、ヤバそうだな。
乱馬のために料理を張り切るあかねはかわいいけど、まずはかすみさんに料理を教わるべきだった。ひどい完成品を見せるだけじゃなくて、なんでそうなるのかを見せてくれたのは良かった。
ごめんあかね、好きだけど今回はどう見てもあんたが悪い。自分で味見してマズいって100%分かってたでしょ！作りながら味見しろって言った乱馬に怒るのは筋違いだって！

We are so back! And poor Ryouga! That was one heck of a one-sided beatdown from Ranma. Like, I love how they're not playing the entire thing as a joke like with Kunou-senpai, we actually get to see Ryouga get absolutely humiliated because of how much stronger Ranma is now.
So Ryouga is now teaming up with Shampoo's grandma so granny can get Akane out of the picture and Ranma can marry Shampoo. That technique Granny is teaching to Ryouga looks insane tho.
While it's adorable that Akane is excited to cook for Ranma, she really should've asked Kasumi to teach her how to cook first. I do like that we get to see why her cooking is so horrible instead of just showing us the resulting disgusting dish.
I'm sorry, Akane. I love you, but you're definitely in the wrong here. You've tasted your own cooking and you 100% know it tastes bad! You can't get upset at Ranma for telling you to taste your food while cooking!

我らが乱馬が帰ってきた！ほかのそこらのラブコメよりずっと笑えるのがすごい。

Ranma my goat is back! It's pretty wild how much funnier I find it over other lesser romcoms.

あかねがあのカレーを作るのを見てるの、ホラー映画みたいだった。
あかねのメシマズって旧アニメでは定番のギャグだったから、リメイクでこれが初登場だったのはちょっと意外。

Watching Akane make that curry was like watching a horror movie.
I was a bit surprised this was the first time the remake touched upon Akane's horrible cooking skills, since it was such a ubiquitous gag in the first anime.

乱馬が帰ってきた！天道家のドタバタも相変わらず！九能はまだあかねと女らんまに二股かけようとして、また空の彼方に吹っ飛ばされてる。
OPは古き良きらんまのOP！乱馬が良牙と一緒にテレビの中に蹴り込まれて、いろんなキャラと対決していく…シャンプーは相変わらずの美人！右京もいる！新顔もいる！その間ずっと乱馬はライバルや女の子たちや自分の性転換と戦いながら、あかねのそばにいようとしてる！
良牙がついにやった！ついに乱馬に果たし状を出した！思いっきり遅刻してたけど、良牙なら1週間か1か月遅れるのは想定内だろ。
良牙が豚として料理されかけた回数で小銭を稼げるなら、もう2回分になる。良牙にとってはまずい状況だ。
良牙とコロンが手を組む？乱馬を倒したい良牙と、乱馬をシャンプーと結婚させたいコロンという、乱馬の敵の連合？良牙は助けなんかいらないって言うけど…玄関を見つけるのには助けがいるんだよな。
でも修行も努力も虚しく、良牙は乱馬に勝てない。乱馬は強くなりすぎて、ライバルたちが全員遅く見えるレベル。ウナギを手に持ったまま良牙をあしらえる。しかも楽勝で倒しながら、良牙がPちゃんだとバレないようにかばってやる優しさまである。
乱馬がいじめてると思ってあかねが良牙をかばうのは微笑ましい？うん。でもプレッツェルみたいに絡まった良牙をほどきながら、乱馬に勝てないことを哀れまれるのを見て気分がいいか？全然。しかも良牙が乱馬を倒すためにコロンと組んで爆砕点穴を覚えようとするのが本当につらい。
あかねが乱馬親子と山へ修行旅行！修行と、もしかしたらキャンプでのロマンスも！なびきは抜け目なく女らんまのキャンプ写真を欲しがるし（女らんまは回想にしか出てこないんだけど）、かすみさんは気を利かせて胃薬を用意してくれる。早乙女家の男たちがあかねの料理と向き合うことになるからな。
でもあかねは本気で乱馬を想って、乱馬が本当に喜ぶものを作って、ちゃんとした許嫁として料理してあげたいと思ってる。問題は料理を修行みたいに扱って何もかもやりすぎることで、結果、動物は逃げ出すわ、普通の人間には食べられないわの呪われた怪物カレーが出来上がる。
酢だよ！どう考えても酢のせい！だからって、あかねがどんどん大きな石を投げつけてくるほど乱馬が失礼なことを言う必要はなかった！その石のひとつが良牙に当たる！良牙はあかねに惚れ込みすぎてて、食べながら体を壊されてるのに平気なふりをする。
乱馬はあかねのために無理して食べるつもりだったのに、良牙とあかねの両方とケンカになって、乱馬と良牙の勝負が決まり、あかねは良牙側につく。それでも乱馬は結局食べる！
EDはみんながデフォルメされててかわいい！どんなに違いがあっても、夜空に輝くひとつの星の美しさでみんなつながってる。

Ranma is back! With the same Tendou Household antics! And Kunou still trying to two-time Akane and Fem!Ranma until he's blasting off again.
The OP is a classic Ranma OP! Featuring Ranma booted into a TV along with Ryoga where he has to face all manner of characters...we've got Shampoo looking as good-looking as ever! Ukyou! And some new faces! All the while Ranma has to square off against his rivals, the ladies, and his own gender-transformations to be with Akane!
Ryoga's finally done it! He's finally issued a challenge letter to Ranma! Even if he was also entirely late but you have to at least expect Ryoga to be a week or at least a month late to something.
If I had a nickel for every time Ryoga nearly got cooked as a pig I'd have two nickels which is bad for Ryoga...though Shampoo couldn't resist looking at his lil' Ryoga.
Ryoga and Cologne team-up? A union of Ranma antagonists dedicated to bringing him down (Ryoga) and getting him hitched to Shampoo (Cologne)? Too bad Ryoga doesn't need any help...but he DOES need help FINDING THE FRONT DOOR.
But despite his training and best efforts, Ryoga can't defeat Ranma. Ranma's gotten so much more powerful that all his rivals are too slow for him and he can easily manhandle Ryoga while balancing an eel in his hands. And even when he's defeating Rygoa effortlessly, he's still nice enough to cover for him so he doesn't get exposed as P-chan.
Is it nice to see Akane defend him because she thinks Ranma is being a bully? Yes. Does it feel good watching her try to untangle the human pretzel Ryoga while pitying how he can't defeat Ranma? Absolutely not. And it hurts so much Ryoga is willing to team-up with Cologne to learn the Breaking Point technique to take down Ranma.
Akane is joining Ranma and his dad for a trip to the mountains! To train and possibly have some camping romance fun! Count on Nabiki to be calculating enough to want camp pics of Fem!Ranma (who only shows up in a flashback, believe it or not), and count on Kasumi to be considerate enough to prepare stomach medicine in advance. Because now the Saotome boys have to deal with Akane's cooking.
But Akane is truly cooking with love of Ranma in her heart, wanting to make something he would actually enjoy and cook for him like a proper fiance. It just doesn't help that she treats cooking like a training exercise and goes extra on everything to the point where she comes up with a cursed monstrosity of a curry that sends animals packing and no normal human being could stomach.
It was the vinegar! Obviously! But that doesn't mean Ranma has to be so rude as Akane flings rock after increasing rock! One of which hits Ryoga! Who is such an Akane simp that he'll pretend the food isn't destroying his body while he's eating it.
Ranma WAS willing to force himself to eat it for Akane's sake, but now he has to get in a spat with Ryoga AND Akane over it which leads to a challenge between Ranma and Ryoga and Akane jumping to Team Ryoga. And Ranma STILL eats it!
The ED is cute with the cartoonier versions of everyone! No matter their differences, they're united in the shared beauty of a shining star in the sky.

乱馬が帰ってきた。しかもコロンのちょっかいで知らないうちにしごかれ続けてたおかげで強くなってて、ライバルたち（特に良牙）は置いていかれてる。
あかねの前で乱馬に恥をかかされた良牙は、差を縮めるためにコロンの助けを借りるしかなくなる。良牙が乱馬に勝てば、コロンもついに望みが叶うかもしれない。
あかねは修行の後に乱馬が何を食べたいかちゃんと聞いてて、「気持ちが大事」って言いたいところなんだけど。
＞作ったことはないけどね
これはもう大惨事のレシピだわ。
乱馬はあかねの料理を一口食べて渋ってたけど、それでもあかねのために食べるつもりだった。なのに良牙が来て食べて、しかも褒めちゃったもんだから、胃が受け付けなくても残りを全部食べて自分も食べられるってところを見せなきゃいけなくなった。かすみさんはこうなることを見越して、出発のときにもう胃薬を渡してたんだよなｗ

Ranma is back and well he's gotten stronger because of the constant torture that he's subjected through thanks to Cologne's antics without even realizing it and his rivals (especially Ryoga) are now lagging behind.
After being humiliated by Ranma in front of Akane, Ryoga has no choice but to take Cologne's help so that he can close the gap b/w the two. And if Ryoga is successful in defeating Ranma, Cologne might finally get what she wants.
Akane really put in the effort to ask Ranma about what he'd like to eat after their training a and while I would love to say "It's the thought that counts".
I've never made it before, though.
But, this just is a recipe for disaster.
Ranma who was reluctant after having a taste of Akane's cooking was still going to eat it for Akane's sake. But then Ryoga came and ate some of it and even praised her while at it and now he has to show her that he can eat it too by eating the remaining stuff even if his stomach cannot take it.. Kasumi already knew something like this might happen and so she already gave him the stomach medicine when they were leaving, lol.

良牙は2期でほとんど出番がなかったせいでインフレに置いていかれてるな。
正直、今回は98%あかねが悪いと思う。気持ちは本物だけど、それで実際の味をないがしろにしていいと思ってたし、1回味見した後は本人ですら自分の料理を口にしなかったからなｗ

Ryoga feeling the power creep from how much he sat out of season 2.
Honestly I think this is 98% on Akane. Her intentions were sincere, but she thought that meant overriding the actual taste of the food and even she herself refused to taste her own cooking after the one time lol.

うん、これは完全にあかねが悪い…
後から自分でも食べてマズいって気づいたし、乱馬は悪口を言わないくらい優しかった。あんなものを食べさせたら、まず相手に失敗してごめんって謝るのが先で、何も言ってない相手に怒るのは違うだろ。
こういう理不尽なリアクションは普段好きじゃないけど、うまく描いてたから全体としては良い話になってた。

Yeah on this part Akane was entirely at fault...
Even tasted her own cooking after the fact and noticed how bad it was and Ranma was still kind enough to say anything bad about it. If you feed someone something like that your first reaction should be to apologize to the other person that it turned out bad rather than getting mad at them for saying... nothing?
Usually not a fan of such unjustified reactions, but they did it really well so the whole thing still turned out nice.

今回は乱馬の味方だわ。体を壊すような料理なら、正直にはっきり言うべき。
（あと自分だけかもしれないけど、あかねの料理シーン、内容のわりに妙に作画に気合い入ってなかった？）

I'm on Ranma's side for this one. If food makes you physically ill, he should be honest and call it like it is.
(Also is it just me or was Akane's cooking scene weirdly high-effort animated for what it is?)

帰ってきてくれて嬉しい作品。毎年秋にMAPPAのらんまの新シーズンが来るの最高だな。良牙が弱くなったんじゃなくて自分が強くなったんだって乱馬が気づくところが面白い。今期は良牙がライバルにふさわしいところまで乱馬に追いつく話になるのかな。

A fun show to have back. I love that each fall season we have a new season of Ranma from Mappa. I do find it amusing Ranma realizes it is he who got stronger rather than Ryouga, who got weaker. I wonder if this season will be about him catching up to Ranma in being a worthy rival.

うわ、あのカレー。ドリアンまで入れられてた。
OPがざらざらのテレビ画面から始まるのが好き。あれってもしかして旧作のOPのオマージュ？
EDも雰囲気がいい。

Wow, that curry. It even got Durian-ed.
I love how the OP starts with the grainy TV bit, was that the original series opening by any chance?
The ED has nice vibes.

＞塩を丸ごと一袋
ここまで来ると、あれを食べるのは本気で命に関わるのではｗ

One entire bag of salt
At that point, isn't it actually life-threatening to eat that dish lol

プレッツェルになった良牙が転がっていくところが最高だった

Ryouga rolling away as a pretzel was the best thing ever

『MAO』が終わって、らんまが帰ってきた！
今回、あかねの表情がすごく豊かに描かれてる場面がいくつもあったな。

MAO ends, Ranma returns!
That was some very expressive animation on Akane a few times this episode.

火中天津甘栗拳の章と良牙の爆砕点穴あたりが、このシリーズが波に乗り始めた節目だと思う。シャンプーとひいばあちゃんがいて、八宝斎がいて、ここから必殺技とあかねの料理がお約束に加わる。
らんま1/2って割と型がはっきりしてて、キャラAがキャラBと出会うか、戦うか、組むか、あるいはキャラBのドタバタに付き合わされるか耐えるか、で1話になる。キャラの層が厚いから組み合わせが無限にあって、結果はどれも最高。たまに新キャラが加わって、あんまり頻繁には出てこないけど、らんまのお約束にうまくはまることもある。

The Amaguri ken arc and Ryoga's Bakusai Tenketsu is around the milestone where I think the series has found its stride. We have Shampoo and Great Granny, we have Happy, and now we have the signature attacks as well as Akane's cooking entering the formula.
Ranma 1/2 is relatively formulaic in which I mean it's usually apply Character A meets, fights, or teams up with Character B or Character A has to partake/endure antics of Character B = episode. The show has a good enough roster to mix it up really well and you have nothing but stellar results. Every now and then you get a new character into the mix but usually they are not as frequent visitors but sometimes their mix into the Ranma formula works well.

作画の上がりっぷりがちょっと笑えるレベル。予算が跳ね上がったとしか思えない

This sheer increases in the animation quality is kind of hilarious, I can only assume the budget went way up

作画はどこを取っても良かった
でもOPにもっと右京が欲しかった

Animation was great all around
Wish there was more Ukyo in the OP though

シャンプーと右京が乱馬をムースに向かってぶっ飛ばすシーンがすごく好き。

I really like the scene of Shampoo and Ukyou sending Ranma straight at Mousse.

作画の話をしなくなったのがもったいない。MAPPAは料理上手なんだから、あかねと違って。だから自分はシャンプー女王よりあかねのほうが乱馬に合ってると思う。告白なんていらない。行動は言葉より雄弁で、あかねは乱馬の笑顔が見たくて一生懸命で気が気じゃないんだ
でも料理はマズい
だから良牙より乱馬のほうがあかねに合ってる。良牙の恋のほうが純粋かもしれないけど、純度を極めたら単なる貢ぎ体質だよ。乱馬はあかねの欠点が見えてて、本人に正直に言う。だからこそ最後に完食するのがすごく優しいんだ
とはいえ料理はほんっとにマズい

It's a shame we stopped talking about Sakuga, because Mappa can cook, unlike Akane. Which is why I like her for Ranma over Queen Shampoo. Who needs kokuhakus? Actions speak louder than words and Akane is so attentive and anxious to see Ranma smile
BUT HER COOKING SUCKS
Which is why Ranma is better than Ryouga for Akane. Ryouga's love might be purer but, at highest purity, it's just simping. Ranma is not blind to Akane's faults and is honest with her. That's why it's so sweet that he finishes the food
THOUGH HER COOKING F*****G SUCKS

パンダの親父が出す2〜3語のプラカードが毎回ツボすぎる。

Those 2 or 3 worded messages on the signs from Panda-Dad crack me up no end.

第1話は前よりずっとくっきりした画になってる。ひいばあちゃん（コロン）が帰ってきたけど、あの「Chestnuts roasting on an open fire（直火で焼く栗）」って訳／ローカライズはどうなんだろうと思う。
ともかく話の中心は良牙の方向音痴と、ひいばあちゃんとの「修行」みたいな戦いが続いたおかげで乱馬が強くなる悟空的な展開。良牙もその修行を受けて、乱馬と互角になってくれるといいな。
あかねは料理上手だな！全部ぶち込め！なんとかなる！（ドリアン味のカレーは食べたくないけど。ドリアン自体は普通に食べられるけど、あかねの初挑戦作品としては絶対パス）
＞生きててよかった
カレーを食べる前の良牙の有名な最期の言葉。森の動物の半分が避難したあのカレーだぞ！とはいえ良牙は耐えられたけど、乱馬は鍋ごと無理やり完食しなきゃいけなかった。
新OPとEDで好調な滑り出しだと思う！

First episode looks a lot more crisp. Great Grandma is back, but that translation / localization "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire" seems dubious to me.
Either way, the main plot point centers on Ryoga's lack of direction and Ranma's Goku moment of becoming stronger, thanks to his constant "training" fights with Great Grandma. Ryoga taking up on that training will likely put him up to par with Ranma hopefully.
Akane sure can cook! Just put everything in! It'll work out. (Although I'm not sure I'd eat durian flavored curry - durian itself is fine and tolerable, but in her first time creation, truly a hard pass).
"I'm so glad to be alive" - famous Ryoga's last words before eating the curry. The same curry that sent half the forest creatures evacuating! But to be fair, he was able to handle it, while Ranma has to force himself to finish the entire pot.
I'd say we're off to a good start with the new OP and ED!

「Chestnuts roasting on an open fire」は90年代のViz版の翻訳から来てるんだよ。Netflix版が昔の訳のクセを全部引き継いでるのが最高に笑える。

"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire" comes from the Viz translation back in the Nineties. I think it's hilarious the Netflix series is keeping all those old translation quirks.

全部アニメ化するってことなのかな。昨日まで3期があるなんて知らなかった。
相変わらず作画が超良くて、いい回だった。

I guess we are getting a full adaptation, I didn't knew S3 was actually a thing until yesterday.
Great episode with super good animation as always.

何が変わったのか分からないけど、作画のクオリティが前期から大きく跳ね上がってるな

Yea I’m not sure what changed but the animation quality has made a big leap from last season

今期をどう進めて、どこまでやるのか興味深い。気になるのは最終的に漫画のあの辺りまで行くのかってことで、それがいつになるかは時間が経たないと分からない。

It's going to be interesting how they get through this season and what they are going to cover. My question is when they get to the stuff in the manga eventually and only time will tell when THAT will be.

今期は制作のクオリティがめちゃくちゃ上がってる

Huge glowup in production value this season

この章はこのギャグの最初期のひとつで、しかもアニメでは1シーズン遅らせてたから、ここから先はけっこう頻繁に出てくるはず。

This arc is one of the earliest instances of the gag, and they actually delayed it a season, so it should be pretty common after this point.

そうだけど、らんまのキャラは体のつくりが違うから

Yes but Ranma characters are built different

早乙女流の奥義が見られるぞ！

We'll be able to see the Saotome school secret technique!

おお！絶対すごいことになる！！！

Oh yeah! It’s going to be epic!!!

あかねの料理から出てる、叫び声を上げる黒い死のオーラで死ぬほど笑った。
たぶん今までで最高のあかねの料理の描き方。

The dark screaming death aura on Akane's cooking had me dying.
Probably the best take on her cooking, ever.

動物や鳥が逃げ出して、その後にゾウの鳴き声が入るところでやられた

The animals and birds running away followed by the elephant noise got me
