Not as good as I’d hoped, but probably still worth watching. I’d hoped they’d do a bit more to update the writing / pacing / etc to a more modern aesthetic, but it seems like that’s not really how these remakes want to do things. Thankfully, the source material I think still holds up for the most part (unlike Sailor Moon, which I thought suffered a lot from not being reworked to modern storytelling). There are parts of the story that we haven’t gotten to yet (mostly the gross sex creep dudes and the female-on-male violence as comedy) that were common at the time but I think very much did not age well that I’m worried we may end up keeping for the sake of faithfulness, but time will tell. Also, and it’s a small gripe, but I felt like some of the voices, particularly girl Ranma’s, seemed unnatural or out of place… maybe I’ll just get used to them. It did make me laugh, though - the quick gag with the sisters after the table gets stolen out from under them was excellent. Overall, unfortunately, I think I have to give the premiere a 3/5.
