I'm saying this with love and as someone who also has that lil special place for it in my heart but you can't recommend Ranma 1/2 while ONLY mentioning the dated transphobia/homophobia and NOT mention the racism. It is frankly sinophobic in many respects and people have a right to know about that

#seeing a lot of talk cause of the reboot #like every chinese character sits so fucky with me #like everyone gets legitimate names #except them they get like random hair product names that sometimes sound like mocking english words that sound like chinese #shampoos whole characterisation is ass too #didnt they give her broken English in the English dub? its been A LONG while since i watched it #from my understanding the reboot is supposed to be loyal to the manga and eeeehhhhhh thats not great lol #like every trans baby into anime gets it that its lovable but also INCREDIBLY flawed #it would be nice to actually polish it a bit and not stick so closely to its source
