We wrap up our spooky month of covering the most Halloween appropriate Ranma 1/2 stories, which naturally brings us to the haunted underwear stories. Yes, plural. Nobody joins us once more as we start to recognize the various patterns that come up around the fourth or fifth time Ranma is offered magical cursed items under mysterious circumstances. Once you deal with one ghost, you've seen em all. Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

We begin our coverage of spooky tales in the realm of Ranma 1/2 with Mitch, who discovers a couple new characters with minimal context but gets the gist of it anyway because Halloween episodes are actually pretty self explanatory. Let's enjoy the frights together. Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

It's time for your favourite Ranma 1/2 themed game show! Tonight's contestant, a Ranma blind Bookkeeper Percival, must listen to hedgey's completely fair and non-nefarious descriptions of Ranma media and try to decipher what's what. Which parts are manga canon? Which parts are filler? Which parts are completely made up? Maybe the answers tell us more than we'd expect. Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

Dan returns to help us break down a little bit more of the Ukyoverse. Mainly all the Gender going on, for both her and her weird harem of one-off rivals. A level of Ranma 1/2 queerness that has earned capitalization indeed. Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

In this episode, hedgey goes solo once more for the sake of making things easy to edit while on holiday. Enjoy your various one-off insights on the behind the scenes of your favourite Ranma 1/2 podcast this go around, from Game Boy games, to emails, to boxer/nun romcoms. There's always more to talk about around here. Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

Friend of the show Mitch joins us once again to see how the art of adaptation can teach us many things, like Ranma's drink preferences, the writer of the week's waifu preferences, and how to make things better by making them worse. Remaking things is a fine art indeed. Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

Over 30 episodes into this podcast, are you ready to learn about the first arc? We're joined by Grant, aka Ironcus, depending on your level of familiarity with him, as we go through his own discovery of the series and look at the beginning with fresh eyes. And also the birth of yet another KunoxNabiki shipper. Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun Listen here: https://rss.com/podcasts/ranmapodcast/

We had our fun talking about gender and pride, and now it's time to talk about the more agonizing half of pride with M as we break down Episode 49 of Ranma 1/2. Ranma's Declaration of Womanhood goes places, and some hearts may not be prepared for it, but we'll guide you through it and discuss what happens when someone on the writing staff does, in fact, think about it.

Happy Pride Month! To celebrate, we welcome back Nobody to help us talk about Ranma's complex gender. Rumiko Takahashi doesn't think about it, and neither should you, but if you decided to think about it anyway then we provide some food for thought on Ranma, gender, and Ranma's gender Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

In this episode, we grab some popcorn with Dan and sit down for a fun double feature of two well received Ranma movies that might not actually be movies, depending on who you ask. What even is a movie anyway? Let's tune in and find out. Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

The fight for control of the podcast continues as Professor Hedgey and Doctor Symbolicgodzilla cover the relationships and intimacy between the Ranma 1/2 cast, at least in their eyes. Turns out some of them don't have the healthiest viewpoints. Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

Come on, let's all time travel! Hedgey and Swarley dive into the Ranma 1/2 episodes featuring time travel, of which there are multiple, of course. Enjoy learning about this classic Ranma staple. Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun

It may seem like deja-vu. Symbolicgodzilla joins us to once again discuss Nabiki Tendo, the best girl. But didn't we cover this already? Maybe. But this time we get into the nuances of what makes a Ranma story a Ranma story, and why doesn't Nabiki get as many dakimakuras as she used to? All equally important questions, of course.

Happy April 1st, everyone. We are back with our ongoing coverage of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, with our favourite Haruhiologist, M. April is the month that never ends, because we're going over the infamous Endless Eight and its connections to fandom thereof. It's business as usual with this anime you all know and love.

We're joined by our new buddy, Mitch, and delve back into the world of filler. But not just any filler. Family filler! Let's discover the best types of Ranma 1/2 stories involving the entire family doing what they do best: stupid sitcom nonsense. Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/elenabunbun
