Ideas/Overview
It truly is a disgrace that Netflix’s subtitles are poor and strip out Japanese honorifics. However, Ranma 1/2 23 was fairly the hilarious episode. For some purpose, I don’t bear in mind the unique model of this story being as humorous.
Regardless, the summer time pageant story is a reasonably frequent trope in Japanese manga and anime. The distinctive component right here was the Chinese language circus tent, full with a tiger, acrobats, and naturally, Mousse (Mumu the Duck). I do bear in mind Mousse in his duck type making me snigger within the OG anime adaptation. That didn’t change right here.
Shampoo turning into cat type to angrily chase Ramna made me snigger as nicely. The largest snigger for me got here from Akane freaking out when she encountered Mousse hanging the wrong way up within the tree at evening. This was a kind of slapstick gags that obtained funnier the longer it went on.
As to the ending of the episode, I’ve to confess that I didn’t count on a cliffhanger. Clearly, Akane gained’t get became a duck ’trigger “plot.” Or if she does, Ranma will let her have the treatment. I truthfully don’t bear in mind this bit from the OG anime, so I’m curious to see the way it will go.
Last Ideas and Conclusion
Let me wrap up my overview of the episode with some ultimate ideas.
Though she doesn’t have an enormous position within the episode, I all the time adore it once I hear INOUE Kikuko’s voice. She could also be in her sixties now, however she hasn’t misplaced a step.
Likewise, HAYASHIBARA Megumi continues to only rock as Ranma-chan.
In the long run, Ranma 1/2 23 made me snigger out loud in addition to chuckle a number of instances. That’s an enormous plus for me!
