Every week, this anime series continues to blow my mind with its beautiful aesthetics and the twists and turns it takes It is so fun to have absolutely no idea where things are going and just enjoy the ride These two episodes did a great job of leaving us with our jaws on the floor. Things[...]

Ranma really is like an anime wrestling show sometimes So yeah, with every trick, the bars elevate, and soon, even the ring itself is turned into pieces But of course, Ranma wins, and Kodachi promises not to give up on male Ranma, the opposite of what the terms dictated It is also funny that everyone[...]

I really enjoy the humorous, awkward teenager phase feels this anime continues to carry perfectly Between the beautiful and colorful animation, the story, and the dialogue, this is definitely the gem of this season so far.
