I'm On Vacation

We wrap up our spooky month of covering the most Halloween appropriate Ranma 1/2 stories, which naturally brings us to the haunted underwear stories. Yes, plural. Nobody joins us once more as we start to recognize the various patterns that come up around the fourth or fifth time Ranma is offered magical cursed items under mysterious circumstances. Once you deal with one ghost, you've seen em all.Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

We begin our coverage of spooky tales in the realm of Ranma 1/2 with Mitch, who discovers a couple new characters with minimal context but gets the gist of it anyway because Halloween episodes are actually pretty self explanatory. Let's enjoy the frights together. Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

It's time for your favourite Ranma 1/2 themed game show! Tonight's contestant, a Ranma blind Bookkeeper Percival, must listen to hedgey's completely fair and non-nefarious descriptions of Ranma media and try to decipher what's what. Which parts are manga canon? Which parts are filler? Which parts are completely made up? Maybe the answers tell us more than we'd expect.Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

Dan returns to help us break down a little bit more of the Ukyoverse. Mainly all the Gender going on, for both her and her weird harem of one-off rivals. A level of Ranma 1/2 queerness that has earned capitalization indeed.Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

Friend of the show Mitch joins us once again to see how the art of adaptation can teach us many things, like Ranma's drink preferences, the writer of the week's waifu preferences, and how to make things better by making them worse. Remaking things is a fine art indeed. Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

Over 30 episodes into this podcast, are you ready to learn about the first arc? We're joined by Grant, aka Ironcus, depending on your level of familiarity with him, as we go through his own discovery of the series and look at the beginning with fresh eyes. And also the birth of yet another KunoxNabiki shipper.Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun Listen here: https://rss.com/podcasts/ranmapodcast/

We had our fun talking about gender and pride, and now it's time to talk about the more agonizing half of pride with M as we break down Episode 49 of Ranma 1/2. Ranma's Declaration of Womanhood goes places, and some hearts may not be prepared for it, but we'll guide you through it and discuss what happens when someone on the writing staff does, in fact, think about it.Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

Happy Pride Month! To celebrate, we welcome back Nobody to help us talk about Ranma's complex gender. Rumiko Takahashi doesn't think about it, and neither should you, but if you decided to think about it anyway then we provide some food for thought on Ranma, gender, and Ranma's genderSupport the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

In this episode, we grab some popcorn with Dan and sit down for a fun double feature of two well received Ranma movies that might not actually be movies, depending on who you ask. What even is a movie anyway? Let's tune in and find out.Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun
