On this week's episode, Chris and Sylvie get into one of the early turning points for anime fandom in the West with the Canadian produced dub for Rumiko Takahashi's groundbreaking gender swap comedy Ranma 1/2. Our old Vancouver buds The Ocean Group whipped together a bold yet faithful reworking of the original release which really highlights the sharp comedy and surprisingly progressive approach to the fluidity of gender identities of this series. It was pleasantly surprising to find that this one really held up in the cool light of 2023.
Episode covered was episode 1 of the original Ocean group dub, English title "The Strange Stranger from China." Voice dub directed by Terry Klassen.
