i can write essays about the importance of akane tendo’s shorthair and the beauty of this whole scene in the manga and the anime (which did it justice)
kylie minogue and keanu reeves look like what hades and persephone would look like if they had to get interviewed for a bank loan for their kid’s college tuition
rumiko takahashi literally created the best guy because she took a jock, turned him into a girl, and made him completely devoted to a tomboy who hates guys (from the moment he met her too)
top tier ‘male’ character ever
their dynamic is so funny cause it’s not a love triangle or anything .. it’s just ranma knowing ryoga has a crush on akane, ryoga hating that akane likes ranma, akane being certain ryoga is in love with ranma
truly 10/10 perfect no notes storytelling
so instagram decides to play games when i wanna post up a video of my dog walking on crunchy leaves? fuck you, instagram
#instagramdown
anyways, here’s the video
the funniest thing about the discussions of how jealous akane tendo is over ranma is that people always seem to forget that ranma is even MORE jealous over akane
the fact that ranma kept akane tendo’s hair and apologized to her AND THEN asked her if she wanted a piggyback ride .. this was literally like a few weeks of knowing each other and he desperately just wants to understand her 😭
please please give us the real akane tendo fashion in the remake 🙏🏽
she was literally the best dressed character in the whole manga (why do you think nabiki would take her clothes)
the thing about ranma & akane is that they are truly best friends … they argue & they play around & they’re competitive & they genuinely like hanging around each other .. they both let themselves be goofy and silly and childish .. they found their favorite person in each other
literally about to be 40 & am truly enjoying being part of the fandoms i’ve literally been a part of since i was 13 .. if anything, i’m enjoying it more now cause i can actually afford to buy things lol
don’t be ashamed to enjoy the things you love .. it keeps you young
Naw I get annoyed seeing ageist discourse about fandom because here I am tryna get my mum to enjoy the things she loves but she's worried she's "too old" to go to collab cafes, events, etc.
I want my mum to enjoy fan culture without all this ageist shit going around ffs!!!!!!!
ranma looking at akane tendo like that!!! ranma getting into akane’s personal space like that!!!! akane with the short hair and brown eyes!!! ranma being an absolute fool for akane like that!!!!
I AM SCREAMING !!!!!!
the fact this was just a filler episode where ranma literally avoided going to the party happening at the dojo and stayed up all night making a banner for akane tendo .. like, this was one of the few times the anime truly grasped how pathetic ranma is for her🥹
can we just take a moment to acknowledge that while ranma dreams of akane in a fairytale setting and how they are destined to be, akane tendo is dreaming of ranma like this lmaoooo
ranma and akane tendo’s story literally involved amnesia, fortune telling, battles against all odds, and willing to die for each other … it’s a love story
i hope billie piper is trending because she went from pop princess to sci-fi hero, to award-winning theater actor, to having one of the best shows in 2020 to writer and director because a woman should be defined by her merits and not by a man she left years ago, yes?
billie piper has won countless awards for her theatre work, wrote/directed/starred in her own movie, co-created a show that was praised and nominated, uses her name for charity and yet she only trends cause of a man she divorced years ago .. twitter, you did it again 🙄
rumiko takahashi having all the guys who are in love with akane tendo dress like women while akane is dressed like a guy .. just something very gender about it all
the fact cat!ranma didn’t even hesitate to joyfully jump on akane tendo because she truly represents safety, comfort and love to this side of him is really something, huh
if getting a manga accurate akane tendo in the new ranma 1/2 remake means having to deal with a pink-haired ranma or whatever other complaint people have .. I AM OKAY WITH THAT 🤣
Day 6 - Mature love
Rumiko Takahashi: Towards the latter half of the series, I was able to represent Ranma and Akane's feelings as "Love". So I drew this image portraying the couple's wedding ceremony.

fictional men: ★★★★★
fictional men who are absolute losers for their girl and so obsessed they can’t eat can’t breathe can’t sleep without worshipping his girl 24/7: ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
love showing this picture to people when they say "ranma never chose between the fiancées' as if we didn't have a whole manga where he basically fell in love with akane tendo first & ended with him killing a demigod for her because he got in the way
imagining the first season of ranma 1/2 ending with akane tendo hugging ranma after coming back from battling the musk dynasty and we get akane’s voiceover saying ‘welcome home, ranma’ and just please mappa 😭🙏🏽
the whole arc being about ranma NOT wanting akane to get the wrong idea & then the second she has the ‘ring’ in her hands & asks if she can really keep it, he’s all ‘i only wanted you to have it’
akane tendo, you don’t need a ring bc you have that man wrapped around your finger
'akane tendo is a misandrist' .. she was literally attacked every day at school by a pack of guys because they thought beating her up means she'll belong to them
akane didn't hate men enough imo lmaooo
rumiko takahashi saying ‘both versions of ranma will argue and be friendly with akane forever’ lives rent free in my mind
like .. akane tendo, you truly are the bisexual icon and ranma is genderfluid icon and we have ms takahashi to thank 💕
being an akane tendo fan for over 20 years and having to be in forums & chats where i had to defend her character all the time .. now we are getting a remake which seems to actually capture her goofy & silly personality so well .. VINDICATION!!!!!
the way ranma slowing started to show physical interest in akane tendo is so funny because every time anyone else shows him any interest, he tries everything possible to get out of it but then with akane, he’s truly hands on
i’m always shocked when people claim akane tendo was the most violent & meanest character on ranma 1/2 when every other character who shows up literally wants to kill him/her (depending on who it is) & she was the only one who met ranma & offered them a smile & friendship
i don't get how anyone could have enjoyed ranma 1/2 when they hate akane tendo .. not only is she the heroine of the story but her & ranma fit so well together & we follow them going from forced engagement to best friends to just being in love .. the manga is their love story
i don’t think people understand that ranma loves teasing akane tendo…from the start of their relationship, he makes dumb jokes & she reacts to them..he’s literally a cat that wants constant attention & once he gets it, he doesn’t know whether to pounce or bite
..he’s obsessed
i’ll always be a ranma and akane tendo defender but i gotta admit rumiko got me to waver when she introduced shinnosuke lmaooo
like, if ranma can have so many fiancées .. just maybe akane can also have another boyfriend 🤷🏽♀️
rumiko takahashi really said ‘i’m going to give you a girl who is so ordinary and then put her in extraordinary situations’ and then gave us the silliest, funniest, goofiest, angriest, girlish, most tomboyish girl in the form of akane tendo
akane tendo being told as a child she wouldn’t be liked for being herself & growing out her hair to then having her hair chopped off & never blaming anyone, simply crying & letting go of all that when she realized she simply has to be herself
how can you not love her?
ranma truly was willing to risk it all the second he thought akane tendo was giving him the green light … she really got this man wrapped around her finger lmao
AND the fact this was the moment the romantic aspect of the ranma 1/2 manga happened AS WELL AS getting more young girls reading it and sending fan mail about ranma and akane like !!!!
rumiko takahashi really said akane tendo with the short hair is ICONIC and FOR THE GIRLS 💕
akane tendo giving ranma a chance to let her know if he wants to leave her house & him turning it around on her & acting like he’s helping her is so funny cause how can people read this & think ranma would ever want to leave the tendos or akane lmaooo .. he found his forever home
