[ANIME] Ranma 1/2 (2024)

I'm not really familiar with the original Ranma 1/2, either the manga or the anime, but I know it is beloved by anime fans of a certain age. The remake, done by Mappa, feels fresh today, with a lovely 80s art style and snappy animation. The core concept is whacky enough to generate loads of sitcom scenarios - the only thing that becomes apparent as the series goes on is that it's a little bit repetitive is the structure in the story arcs, but it's not a huge deal.
