Ranma ½

Hello anime lovers, I am back with one of my favorite anime, Ranma 1/2. It's quite popular; I hope you all know this anime, and if you don't, then it's not too late to start because they have a new version with much cooler graphics that would be up to your taste. I believe the story is the same as it was in the old ones, as I don't remember what I watched because I was very young when I first saw this anime. I could not even understand English at that time, so I only watched it for fun without understanding. I would try to guess what they were saying by their actions, which I made up in my mind. Anyway, even though I could not get it at that time, this anime was still fun to watch. I have recently re-watched it, and it was an overwhelming moment for me; I felt nostalgic and all the feelings from the past. The difference is that this time I understood the storyline properly.

The trailer is so funny; it brings back so many memories. I got really excited when I watched the trailer, as I felt younger again. I was a kid back then, but now it feels different than before. I really enjoyed the trailer; however, you should not judge the anime by watching the trailer. I would ask you to watch the anime after a few episodes; it's going to be addicting. I could not take my eyes off this anime. The trailer is really good, in my opinion, but not enough to attract new anime fans to watch it. However, the old fans will surely understand the value of this anime.

The story begins with a boy named Ranma Saotome. His journey starts with his arrival at the Tendo dojo, where he has to marry Akane Tendo as part of an arranged marriage. Our protagonist is a martial artist; after an accident during his training in China, he was cursed to transform into a girl. This happens when he gets into cold water or if someone splashes cold water on him, and to turn back into his original form, which is a boy, he has to get into hot water. The story follows the life of Ranma as he navigates this curse and his relationships with his fiancée.

Well, this anime is a classic, and it is one of my favorites. The fighting scenes are incredible and entertaining to watch; also, each character is very hilarious. There's comedy, a slow-burn romance, and martial arts action. This is an anime that will make you feel many things at once. Even the characters are so relatable and lovable; for that reason, I couldn't find any character to hate. I love the art style; it looks much better than the old versions, and the colors are very vibrant. The comedy scenes are just amazing, and I have found myself laughing most of the time.

The unpredictable narrative will hook you into the anime. To be honest, it is true that old is gold. The concept is also very unique; you can barely find animes with this kind of concept. One thing that bothers me is that the episodes are too short for me; I wish they were longer, such as 40 minutes. The episodes take a long time to release, and I wait for days and days just for some short episodes. It's not fair; this masterpiece should have longer episodes and more than 12 episodes.

You will also get to see a love triangle and hilarious scenarios. Some are cute scenes that will make you crave more. The chemistry between Ranma and Akane grows gradually throughout season 1; they did not rush to make them fall in love, which is good. I really like to watch slow burns. I also saw a season 2 trailer that was released a few days ago. I am very excited for season 2, and it will be released in October, maybe, but at least it's this year, not next year. I am very happy and hope they have success and get interested in making a few more seasons.

Ratings: 10/10
