The next time someone describes a guild, I may have an aneurysm. Impressions: I would say that this is just like every other show with the exact same premise, but it’s really trying to hide its premise for some reason. This is despite the title of the show and the OP giving away the …
Ranma 1/2 #01 — Retry
…Why. Impressions: I didn’t go back and watch the original’s first episode, but… yeah. I still don’t understand why this exists.

This was a quieter episode than last week’s epic blockbuster, one of the biggest and most spectacular of the entire series. …
