The original show and manga is very special to me and while I'm loving the remake so far, I do miss the OST of the original series a bit. Back then all shows had more bombastic background music but it really added something to the whole.
I watched the original as it came out, fan subbed, and it's all all-time classic, but they had to draw things out to not get ahead of the manga, so this is a much tighter story.
Ryoga shows up in episode 7 in the original series, it seems like they're trimming the fat and hitting the highlights because they aren't planning on remaking all 150 or so episodes.
Some anime were made at the same time the manga were being made, so they had to draw (no pun intended) things out so they didn't get ahead of the manga.
I love how in the german dub Akane adds something like "Why are you directing that question towards me?", making it more in-character for Akane but also more ironic for the watcher who knows where this is going.
I'm jealous of your subtitles. Netflix put the am I happy dialog on the top of the screen where it got washed tf out (because they also do a terrible job with making the subtitles pop against light backgrounds).
I don't mind no nipples tbh since when I watched it it got censored by zooming in on the characters to hide the nipples, heck the onsen episode was broadcasted as a special late night episode that lasted like 15 minutes since it got censored so much, so yeah bye bye nipples
I'll be honest, I'm confused as to what the complaint is. I'm going to write it off as an artistic choice in the details of how they portrayed the scene that you didn't care for and move on. In terms of the events that happened and the feelings portrayed I fail to see a problem.
I loved the original anime where it's this casual question he asks Akane, but the remake having it be this moment of anxiety, like he legitimately hadn't thought about it before and suddenly he's worried about the implications, was fantastic.
Back in the day, on the old dial up BBSs, we used to "fight" about how the title was pronounced, Ranma HALF or Ranma ONE HALF, mainly because there was no real Internet yet and we were bored waiting for blank tapes we mailed off a month ago to arrive with new, fan subbed anime on them.

...so far anyways, but yes.

A tighter story tends to be better.

Lore question: does that mean the Chainsaw Devil would have nipples and be the only being with nipples?
this animation looks so good

I'm quite loving the new anime, the backgrounds especially!
