You read Ranma to laugh at how absolutely retarded the characters can get when they try to solve every normal problem in their lives with insane martial arts. Naruto this ain't. I don't think I've seen another manga that takes dumb decisions that far tbh.
Very true, but the issue is how many of those fillers are actual throwaway using bit characters who lack any of the fun of the actual retards we love from the main cast.
It suffers very much from the "ugh its another X chapter" while some of its better characters languish in obscurity. And unfortunately Akane, the main heroine, is one of those characters you groan at being the focus.
I would tend to agree. Every arc with recurring characters like Pantyhose Taro was great, so their absence is sorely felt at times.
I like Akane, but she was a little too protected overall. There was an unwritten rule that she could never be actually beaten up since in that world she's more like a normal girl than a combatant.
Taro was great, heck even main cast members like Kuno and Ukyo ended up sidelined more than they should despite being far more interesting than someone like Happosai for the 100th time.
Ukyo was my favorite fiance. She should get together with Ryoga
