I have seen several people complain about dark fanfiction because they see Ranma as a pure action/romance/comedy. However, it has a lot of very dark underlying elements to it.<br /><br />Actually, I have said before and I will repeat here. Every major character in Ranma is certifiable. Every major character has some major mental defects.<br /><br />They are flawed characters in a flawed world, that is what makes the comedy and lightness of the series so interesting, in my opinion.<br /><br />It always made me wonder just how much the Mermaid series affected Ms. Takahashi. Since she started working on it all of her major works have had a touch of that darkness, with Inuyahsa and Rinne having a bit more than Ranma.mknopphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491041598412381064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869285295551904139.post-89718487889394115712008-08-27T23:26:00.000-04:002008-08-27T23:26:00.000-04:00In the manga the grandfather and father are not sh...In the manga the grandfather and father are not shown and age of their death is unknown. We are told that after drawing the painting his grandfather died, within the year. Then when his father drew one he died within a few years as well (I believe it said died within the year of drawing of the one and within two years for the other). He was worried about the seal being broken because he thought it would come out and kill him. The thing is his was poorly drawn and was of a harmless nature unlike his father and grandfather. The other two were not freed in the manga that only happened in the anime.antimatterenergyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02774869677370550539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869285295551904139.post-77133448839516605482008-08-27T22:55:00.000-04:002008-08-27T22:55:00.000-04:00Just asking, as it has been some time since I read...Just asking, as it has been some time since I read the story in question, but weren't the guys who painted the cursed scrolls shown (Oni & Spiderhead) and then died in their 90s? Or is that an anime difference (I think they were 96 and 97 years old there, definately over 90 years in age)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
