It's a gender bender anime where the main character is cursed where if he's exposed to cold water he transforms into a woman and if he's exposed to hot water he transforms back to a man.
The original run of this story was from August 1987 to March 1996 so if they stick to the original source material, it won't have any tranny pushing like this groomer thinks it will. Japan has LONG done gender bending as that last anime they tried to say promoted trans about a brother turning into a girl turned out to NOT support their mental illness.
This is just another case of tourists outing themselves just like their takes on this anime coming out soon.
If the story was written in 2024 it still wouldn't have any cultural connection to American transgender child rapist mutants.
Asia has long inoculated itself from using 'gender' this way, the closest you'll get is South Korea's feminist cults and fortunately they've lost a lot of power.
They prefer standard corruption and power accumulation than the degenerate mutilation of children angle..
oh i know. I was around when the original manga came out and i've read it
Thought you might but context for others on here as a lot probably are unaware about it.
at least it's not futabakun change
more like Futaba-kun Cringe
I really liked that one, found it recently on the hunt for something like Ranma. It's not Ranma but fun. Not done yet though with it.
Yappa pa, yappa pa, ishanten!!🎶
I wonder how much seething there will be when tourists see it called a curse? Or are translators going to try to change that?
Fetish fantasy isn't bad so long as it REMAINS a fantasy. I've read plenty of fucked up shit especially in the revenge category but no intentions of committing those acts in reality.
The problem the West is particularly vulnerable to is that the fantasy/reality divide in the minds of many is not a strong barrier.
Yeah, this is why proglodytes can't wrap their pea brains around the concept that depiction is not endorsement.
I'm an anime nerd of that generation and we really didn't have a fetish for gender bending. There were some who did but majority really didn't.
Otoh a lot of males of that generation also liked sailor moon
I remember the stereotype of cons being filled up with fat middle-aged men dressing up like Sailor Moon.
I was in to anime for a period when Kenshin, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Love Hina, etc. were very popular. I knew people that were into Ranma, but I never followed it. Anime was then a (like D&D) often a refuge for people who didn't fit into the mainstream.
I don't think it was ever filled but there were definitely some ppl who did that
I will never apologize for enjoying Meatball Head as part of my contingent of Saturday morning cartoons.
