I watched this is a beautifully animated show by Mappa. This is the newest Ranma 1/2 show. I never got watching more than a few episodes of the older Ranma 1/2 shows as it was too weird for my taste. The comedy didnt land with me then. Now that I have seen the remake I do like it... more. Is this as good as the original? I honestly dont remember that much. But I did like it more than when I tried the original a long time ago. This is just better animated. The show is funny but the story is very unserious. The charactersare likable and I look forward to season 2.
