/f/ - Fandom Generals

I used to read and love the manga back when anime was hard to access. I recall looking for some yaoi at the time, but found nothing. And when there was stuff, it didn't play into my topping preferences.

Thankfully, there seems to have been an explosion of stuff where Ranma ends up on the bottom, often under Ryoga. Based.

>Best Boy?
Ranma. I like how he's got more drive and slyness than the 'average romcom protagonist', Takahashi's boys always have some traits that make them seem more fun to play with, than just being a het love interest.

>Best Ship?
Currently rewatching, and being way more into Kuno/Ranma than expected, the height gap and Kuno's cool, yet devoted personality is very cute against Ranma's comparative hot-headedness. That said, Ryoga/Ranma seems to be the longstanding OTP.

>Does Ranma top or bottom?
Bottom. He's got the sly devil personality, which is hottest when taking it, imo, although I can see why people would enjoy him topping Ryoga.

>Does Ranma-chan's existence play into it somehow (as a plot device), or is it only male Ranma who matters?

I like the idea of Kuno finding out that the pig-tailed girl is actually his romantic rival, still being in love with Ranma-chan, then starting to notice that male Ranma has the same cute traits as Ranma-chan, then growing protective over male Ranma and having a gay crisis over it.

thank you for the ranma thread op
>best boy
Kuno.

>best ship
when it comes to ships really I like anything but the main romance, which is the case for most Takahashi works, i'd say ryoga and ranma would be right up my ally if it weren't for the fact that Ryoga is way too emotional, and I like ship combinations where one party is less emotional than the other, so Kuno and Ranma.

>Does Ranma top or bottom?
bottom

>>Does Ranma-chan's existence play into it somehow (as a plot device), or is it only male Ranma who matters?

Same as anon above, I think it would be also fun to joke with the idea that Kuno actually likes Ranma as a boy too, but he obviously dismisses the thought immediately because of his stubbornness

Is anyone watching the remake? How does it compare?

Currently watching the old anime, and it's far more yaoi than it was remembered as. The low amount of fanfic hurts.
