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
Unironically my first waifu and I still have strong opinions about her to this day.
Including that yes Ryoga and her had actual good chemistry, so much so that the OVA specifically designed to sink their ship ended up just making it look stronger, and that the "perfect partners" Takahashi stuck them with are offensively awful.
Honestly Ryoga in general was more interesting than Ranma and I wish the series focused on him more.
