Going to storytime the manga in conjunction with the new anime season so anons can compare and contrast, or experience the story in multiple different ways simultaneously.Today: chapter 81-82
Weekly Shonen Sunday #24, 1989
Weekly Shonen Sunday #25, 1989
Reminder that your slut waifu is irrelevant and only exists to get tsundere Akane to realize her feelings for Ranma and get her jealous. She is only there to help Rankane get together, even Rumiko thinks so, and as the creator whatever she says goes. It has only EVER been about Akane and Rankane and the sluts are little more than background noise.
To be continued
>>291982871Ucchare Goshogawara by Tsuyoshi Nakaima, not scanlated>>291983357Ranma, hyping up the still very new anime. This issue went on sale a few days before Ryoga's debut episode aired on TV.
>>291983867Ucchare Goshogawara seems to appear just as often as Ranma on these covers, I assume this was the second most popular Shonen Sunday series at the time.
>>291983979Adachi's Rough was more popular, I believe. Adachi and Rumiko were the King And Queen Of Shonen Sunday in those days.
>>291983263CENSORED!
>>291984163But Kasumi's words make it clear that Akane is doing this for Ranma, almost with the same meaning.
>>291984163Predictable after they censored a similar line in the Bakusai Tenketsu arc.
Is anyone else starting to think that Gosunkugi and Kodachi might make a good ship?
>>291984697She'd channel Solution Epsilon and devour him.
>>291984163>>291984534They didn't censor the dialogue you retards.
>>291983648>>291983676One of the funnier gags in the series.
>>291983789Why did they split this arc up in the remake? The original anime did it in one episode.
>>291985991No clue. The remake has done four chapter arcs in one episode before.
Airing thread >>291980209
>>291982871Why don't we see casts full of goofball designs like this anymore?
>>291986783It's a sports series, that's kinda their thing.
>>291982933The remake removed the name of the school and changed the girl complaining about being at an all-girls' school to complaining about not having a boyfriend. It's still shown as an all-girls' class, though.What's the point of this change? There's nothing Modern Audience unfriendly about having an all-girls' school, is there?
>>291986865If anything it implies the school is sexist for having cooking classes be girls only. Thanks remakers.
>>291986865>There's nothing Modern Audience unfriendly about having an all-girls' school, is there?Maybe they didn't want to suggest a connotation that Kodachi's school is more akin to a convent for recalcitrant girls.
>>291986865All girls school is gender essentialist or something.
>>291986952Honestly, yeah.Wait, could it be because having the girl complain about there being no boys to give cookies to implies that girls can't give cookies to other girls and that's gay erasure? Surely they can't be THAT sensitive.
>>291986865I'm 90% sure they mention its full name back in the original Kodachi arc. Kodachi going to a girls' school is not new information introduced this arc.
>>291987190Even weirder, then why did they bother to change the "no boys" line?
>>291982958>an urgent matter to which I must attendIs Kodachi telling lies for the sake of politeness, or does molesting Ranma count as an urgent matter?
>>291987407It's Kodachi, so it's obviously the latter.
>>291982990Holy shit, is that Akane in middle left panel looking over the moon at baking some cookies? Maybe the remake making her a willing tradwife wasn't so far off.
>>291987996
>>291982990>>291983014>Happiness for a woman lies solely in cooking for the man she loves.apparently censored to>cooking for the Kuno she lovesKek. Guessed this would get the chop, but if you have to censor it, this was the best censorship possible.
>>291987996>Maybe the remake making her a willing tradwife wasn't so far off.The entire joke surrounding Akane is that she obviously wants to and tries to be a tradwife, but she’s such a complete and utter failure at it that even one of the manliest men amongst men turned into a woman utterly mogs her in the womanhood department.
>>291983046>2 ponks for the price of one>>291983072I like how the anime expanded the kick into a semi fight scene, like the umbrella throne last ep.
Why did they change Akane hitting Ranma with a fire extinguisher to Kuno instead?
>>291988465Better transition to the animal cookies guessing game.
>>291988210That's sexist according to Modern Audiences, though.
>>291983091MInor change but why did the remake make one of Ranma's BFFs look fucking pissed at Kodachi's arrival in the remake? Is he a Rankane shipper?
>>291989259Forgot pic
>>291989259Didn't she act badly the last time she graced Furinkan's halls?
>>291989309She beat up their rhythmic gymnastics team and put them in the hospital
>>291989259>>291989283>is he a Rankane shipper?MAPPA’s self-insert.
>>291983072Viz>You need no longer fear this evil confection, Ranma darling!Netflix>What suspicious cookies!I'm guessing these were the same line in the original and if so, perfect illustration of the difference a good translator makes to the soul of the translated manga.
Well a/, are they right?
>>291989370>first Kodachi>then Mariko Kuno is surrounded by woman-hating women, eh
>>291983046I really can't blame Ranma on this one.
>>291985991The remake had Gosunkugi in it. Same with Kodachi. Since this was probably their only appearance this season they gave them more screen time especially Kodachi since she's voiced by Ayane Sakura.
>>291983091The remake cut out Ranma cowering, flushing and sweatdropping in fear of Kodachi. BOOOOOOOOOOOThey also had her miss him with her throw.BOO x2Why do they want to nerf Kodachi?
>>291983157The remake eliminated Kodachi dodging Ranma's grab and Happosai having a bag of stolen gym shorts (even though he presumably still tried to steal in the remake, since the girls are chasing him off).Why are they making Akane and Ranma more competent and the antagonists less competent?
>>291983209>Shampoo presses her body against Ranma>Ranma gets a nosebleed>Kodachi presses her body against Ranma>Ranma loses his appetiteExplain this, anons
>>291985127So you're saying the "bride" line was made up by Viz?
>>291983238>remake toned down Kodachi scaring the bejeezus out of GosunkugiMappa, no. We LIKE her yandere.
>>291990853Kodachi smells.
>>291990990I never said Viz made that up. Not including that "bride" line doesn't mean it was censored. It doesn't change the context of Akane and Kasumi's conversation.
>>291992667>doesn't mean it was censoredIt does.
>>291983263>bottom panelManga did this better. Ranma being Happosai's pack horse trying to spy on the lethal cooking is funnier than Ranma sitting with Soun trying to pretend everything's normal.
>>291983292Anime added Ranma calling Genma on his hypocrisy here, which I thought was amusing.
>>291983471If your lips are wrapped around a pile of photos of yourself with her, that's an indirect kiss, right? Right?Seriously, Ranma could have chosen a less intimate form of disposal and yet.
>>291983497>Kuno Tatewaki practicing inserting his sword into the pigtailed girl
>>291982933The dialogue in the first panel is cut, while a slightly shortened version of Kodachi's line in the final panel from >>291982958 is moved to before her actual first line in the manga.>>291986865>changed the girl complaining about being at an all-girls' school to complaining about not having a boyfriendNo, the complaint about not having a boyfriend is in the original, it's Viz that changed it to just "no boys to impress with 'em". The anime is accurate to the Japanese original here.
>>291982990First line here cut too. The Japanese line mentioned "cooking practice class", which is also what the sign here >>291982933 originally said, though it got changed to just "cooking room" in the remake anime.Is that a no-no word now or something? Very bizarre.
>>291983014"man she loves" changed to "the Tatewaki Kuno she loves"This doesn't even fucking make sense with the surrounding unchanged dialogue what the fuck is up with this change?
>>291983046>change Akane hitting Ranma to Ranma jumping away and her hitting Kuno insteadI don't get it, did they think that was funnier? It isn't.
>>291983188The girls dialogue being changed to generic "wait!" "You're not getting away!" to get rid of the actual reason they're chasing him.Doesn't that just suggest he did something worse than steal buruma?
I have censorship fatigue. At this point it's a fanfiction and not a faithful adaptation.
>>291983238>duplicate copies ("yakimashi") changed to "film"I'm going to guess this is just because today's kids won't know what the fuck a yakimashi is, it's a bit less self-explanatory than the English term.
>>291983263>original: So you've taken an interest in bridal training, Akane?>remake anime: "So you've taken an interest in learning to cook, Akane?" "Yeah... something like that." "But why so suddenly? Oh, could it be for Ranma-kun's sake?"Same word they censored out of the Bakusai Tenketsu arc, they really don't like that one.(and yeah, Viz is very loose here)
>>291983263Also Akane's inner monologue slightly altered and changed to dialogue said to Kasumi
>>291983552Kuno's last line before the fantasy sequence removed for whatever reason.
>>291983789Last line from Kodachi cut for some reason.Also, I'm pretty sure the entire joke of "yaku" meaning both "to bake (cookies)" and "to print (photos)" went over the heads of most English speakers, making the entire connection between the photos and the cookies very random.
>>291997226Domo arigatou, moon anon.
>>291997226>Also, I'm pretty sure the entire joke of "yaku" meaning both "to bake (cookies)" and "to print (photos)" went over the heads of most English speakers, making the entire connection between the photos and the cookies very random.OOOOH fuck that makes sense now.
>>291996640Actually nevermind, they kept the word here >>291983471Guess they just wanted an explanation for why Kodachi had the negatives then.
>>291985127>>291990990It was, but the line is still censored >>291996759
Is there seriously a demand for all this censorship?
>>291999248Probably not, but MAPPA is being cautious. Ranma is a product of its time.
