Ranma noticed that her Pop was
scurrying out of the house with his pack in hand, but was too
shocked by meeting her mother to do anything about it.
##I like Genma. ^)^
The emotional reaction between Ranma/mother needs a bit more development.
IMO you've made a good start, but it's too shallow to be really believable.
More detail and development please.
NO! not more detail this is just something Ranma sees in a passing and
doesn't really think about. instead he files it away.
He didn't say more detail on this. it was only here that he mentioned it.
"The emotional reaction between Ranma/mother needs a bit more development."
##Seems more than a bit OOC for Nodoka, considering
what little we know of her from manga.
Listen. The fact that we don't get to know THAT much about Nodoka's
character is because there isn't that much interesting. And the fact that we
don't know so much leaves more room for developing her. SHE is NOT out of
Character.
I got the distinct impression that this fic was based on the anime, anyway.
red hair for Ranko and Nodoka, blue for Akane, purple for Shampoo would tend
to imply that.
Akane's temper was starting to flare. "Daddy, what does he mean,
'Genma and Soun'? You didn't help him do this to Uncle Saotome's
daughter, did you?"
##I'd think Akane would show a little more confusion about
things at this point. She seems too ready to believe that
Ranma started out as a girl. IMO this is not believable.
Only thing I agree with you on. in the beginning Akane SHOULD be a little
more confused. And wouldn't accept this so lightly. But remember that the
author wrote this part in lapses and this was probably never meant to be
such a long part to begin with. So I guess you could say this was a left
over from the original story.
I would imagine spamfic beginnings, but i don't know the history of the fic.
Akane stalked across the room towards him. "How could you do that
to your own mother, Ranma? After all the years you've been
separated, how could you do that to her?"
##??? Quite frankly I think Ranma reacted VERY well under
the circumstances. This is a bit much for anyone to take all at once.
Yes, he might be very well but listen here This is NOT what YOU think. You
are not in the story and cant really relate. This is what Akane is Thinking
and in her opinion she feels betrayed by Ranma and when she sees an
opportunity to get back at him she takes it.
maybe this is the reason why she Accepted Ranma being a REAL girl so fast.
Maybe she just did it unconsciously because she wanted it to be true so that
she could argue with him. and tell him what a jerk she thought he was.
??? I don't see how she would see _that_ as an excuse to pick on him/her.
The inside of the house was hard for Akane or Ranma to describe.
It felt almost like a shrine, well kept and well loved, but with
the sort of omnipresent
##Errrr, oppressive?
Oh you don't know what the word Omnipresent means? what a petty.. but not
very surprising. Omnipresent = all that a person is taking in, that persons
everything. well it means that the room makes the people feel it is all
there is. GAH I cant explain it but that is what it means.
it means `always there' or `persistent'. something that doesn't go away.
##I'm trying to figure out the Red Hair/blue eyes. (other than
the fact the Japanese like to use a lot of colour in anime. ^_^)
The best I can come up with is Nodoka has European or Anu blood.
And the Anu is a stretch. They are of different stock than the Japanese(who
are of Korean descent) but that's an awfully _bright_ red. And the _blue_
eyes are a problem. And if Nodoka is NOT pure Japanese this makes Soun's
willingness to ally with the family even stranger. Bad enough that he was
a _she_ to begin with but the family's not pure Japanese. This is a VERY
big
deal among traditional families.
And now you are complaining about the anime. Listen I don't know why The
hair colors was used in Ranma. But I can tell you that in reality most blue
haired girls and such really are black haired. The reason why they are
painted redhaired or blue or green or purple is because The colors is a way
of describing there nature, a way of telling people apart easier in the
anime. For example the fact that Ranko in the anime has blue eyes and red
hair can be explained as . Red hair= willful short fuse blue eyes =
honorable person, good.
I remember hearing something in pokemon that was either not grasped by the
people at Viz or was put in by them, which was a private joke for all of us
Real Anime Fans. in the episode with the 'squirtle squad', misty says "They
[the squirtles] may be mean, but they'd never change a girl's real hair color"
I mentioned that to my mom and she thought it was funny once i explained it.
You only say this Because you are one of those people that want Akane to
Ranma's girlfriend no matter what. This is why you don't like they are
changing Akane. This is Why you don't like Ranma accepting herself as a
Girl. If you had your way this would turn out into a lesbian story you
Hentai!
Someone mentioned something about Takahashi's original intentions when writing
Ranma 1/2, and it makes sense to me that Akane would have some tendencies
towards being bisexual.
and anyway, what definition of `lesbian story' are you taking here? are you
saying `Sailor Moon' should be banned forever because of Haruka and Michiru?
just because someone is `that way' doesn't mean that they're automatically a
sex-crazed pervert.
degree or another. Changes this drastic make this, IMO, >an "alternate
universe" story.
Really? when did you realise that this was an "alternative universe"? When
you were told Ranma was REALLY a girl? when you were told Akane loved Ranma
a s girlfriend? alternative universe? you don't say..
No need to be nasty. save that for private responses to the idiot who wrote
this:
| FIRST OF ALL LUNITIK IS SPELLED LUNATIC
| SECOND SAMA IS FEMALE HONORIFIC $ and here, he didn't even know for sure that
| $ the person he was responding to was male.
remember that? this is the kind of jerk that deserves that. not the person who
just happens to rely too much on fanfics. [Never seen an episode in my life,
only read a few fan-translated manga, still no problems.]
I wouldn't say don't rely too much on fanfic, but read MORE fanfic and keep an open mind. I have fairly clear ideas on characterization from reading aLOT and being well-rounded.
