Pink-haired Ranma

I was thinking of making some post wondering how long it would take for hentai images of female-Ranma to appear sporting pink hair, as she has in the reboot. But then I remembered that RanmaBooks had already made such a post back on Thursday, Oct 3.

Ranma 1/2 Reboot Starts

I saw the first episode of the Ranma 1/2 reboot tonight. Okay so far. I do feel cheated by one thing — we got to see female-Ranma nude, but not Akane. Or to be more specific, Akane was nude in a couple of scenes, but there was always stuff blocking the view of the most important bits. Perhaps the silliest part was when we saw female-Ranma nude. Apparently female-Ranma's breasts do not have nipples — we saw the entire curve of her breasts, but they were entirely featureless. I mean, if you're going to do that, then you might as well do the same as you did with Akane.

Other than that, no complaints about the single episode. I do wonder if they're going to follow the manga faithfully, or if they're going to include some of the filler which was in the original anime. And especially, whether they're going to be faithful to the characterizations in the manga. And most especially, whether they will show us the Akane from the manga, or the more violent and bad-tempered Akane of the original anime.

P.S. I'm hoping that this reboot will lead to a surge of new hentai art involving the Ranma 1/2 characters. Fingers crossed.

AI Rant

God, I wish we could ban all of the AI-generated garbage from our erotic cartoon sites! 99.99% of it is so bland and uninspiring that I can't imagine it producing an erection in a horny teenager. (Or the equivalent for teenagers of the female persuasion.) And it seems like every time someone inflicts more of this crap on us, they can't resist the urge to post a few dozen highly similar images, each one as worthless as the next. And the steaming piles of such so bury the remaining enticing posts by actual artists, that those few gems can slip by unnoticed as one's eyes skim through as quickly as possible in self defense of one's libido. I know it is theoretically possible to use sufficiently creative prompts to produce something with AI which can grab one's proper interest, but that accounts for the 0.01% leftover in the above figure, which to no degree makes me feel more forgiving toward the rest of the fecal matter.
