It's time we review the Ranma 1/2 remake, with help from our new guest, Matt, from the appropriately titled Random Rhapsody Network. Covering a whole season would take some time, though, so instead we cover the same story three different times. A very thought out take on what it means to adapt a story and how the times changed the way we process media.

In this episode we put on our work tie and have an interview with Harley and Dylan Acres, the twin brothers who spent the last 30 years running Rumic World, one of the oldest fan websites around, dedicated not just to Ranma 1/2, but Urusei Yatsura, Inuyasha, and literally everything connected to Rumiko Takahashi ever. If you've ever been curious about early Internet anime culture, or what it's like to manage one of the sites you only ever see on the list of citations at the bottom of a Wikipedia page, now's your chance to imagine another world nearly lost to time.

This holiday season, join hedgey, Nobody, and just about every Ranma character imaginable in our celebration of all the Ranma 1/2 Christmas specials, and also the non-Christmas special album that's still festive enough to be most of the episode. And it's a hefty episode!

Recurring guest, Swarley, has spun the wheel to randomly select recurring Ranma 1/2 one-off characters to learn about. It is an endless well of characters, so tune in to find out if your favourite characters who weren't good enough to show up more than twice will make the cut.

Don't listen to this episode on an empty stomach, because symbolic is here to help us break down everyone's favourite boymode chef, call dibs on the best girl, and also discuss some mouthwatering Japanese cuisine.

We rope in local Chinese food enjoyer, Swarley, to discuss the Ranma 1/2 love interest with second billing. She must be important, if these anime intros are to be believed, so let's see how she rose to the top by being brat.

How would you like to play a game? Playing today is our new contestant Dan, who will learn alongside all of you the depths of the trademarked best character in Ranma 1/2: Ranma's mom. Tune in and try your luck as we decipher the ups and downs of her many appearances, as well as the incredible world of Rumiko Takahashi's sign gags.

In this episode, we talk about how nobody respects Akane with our good friend Nobody, who allegedly respects Akane. The second lead of the entire franchise, so easily forgotten by her own series. Let's break down all the potential she reached, or perhaps didn't reach.
