Digital content and the advancement of technology are very heavy for fans of traditional anime. These two elements brought with them the images generated by computers (CGI). Some series improved their quality with this aspect, but others were victims. This animated illustration of Ranma 1/2 is a sample of what this tool can achieve.
Dragon Ball fans are the first to trash the arrival of CGI in the world of anime. They say that there is no improvement with Goku’s illustrative designs when comparing the new images with the old ones from Toei Animation.
In any case, without intending to take positions on which image is better, a surprising animation of a Ranma 1/2 fight sequence appeared on social networks. Ranma-Chan, the female version of the protagonist, appears fighting against Shampoo. All under the CGI illustration.
Ranma 1/2 is manga and anime, for those who didn’t know. It was created by Rumiko Takahashi, renowned Japanese mangaka. The story revolves around a young man named Ranma Saotome, who suffers from a strange curse.
The main premise is that Ranma, during a martial arts training in China, falls into some cursed springs. Each spring has a particular curse, and by falling into it, Ranma and other characters acquire a physical transformation when they come into contact with cold water, only returning to their original form when they are doused with hot water.
Ranma transforms into a red-haired girl when he is doused with cold water, while other characters also undergo transformations. For example, Ranma’s father turns into a giant panda, and her fiancée Akane Tendo turns into a pig.
