My uni assignment on framing and composition! :3

Camila Campos Vargas.

Recently, I started watching the reanimation of Ranma ½, and what can I say? I’ve been loving it. For most of my life, I never had much interest in watching the show—I thought it was too old and sometimes a bit ridiculous. Plus, as a closeted kid, I couldn’t understand why Akane would love Ranma even in his "girl form."

Ranma ½ began airing in Japan on April 15, 1989. The series was produced by the animation studio Studio Deen, a company known for its work on manga adaptations. The anime is based on the manga of the same name by Rumiko Takahashi and was originally broadcast on Fuji TV. The series was split into two parts: Ranma ½ and Ranma ½ Nettohen, totaling 161 episodes.

The story revolves around Ranma Saotome, a teenage martial artist who, after a training accident in China, is cursed to transform into a girl whenever he is splashed with cold water. He reverts to his male form when exposed to hot water. This transformation creates a complex and humorous dynamic in his life, particularly with his (forced) fiancée, Akane Tendo, and other characters.

The series is known for its blend of action, slapstick humor, and romantic comedy, often revolving around the chaos created by Ranma's transformations, the complicated relationships between characters, and the search for a cure for the curses.

So, what’s my opinion about it? To put it simply: I love it. I think the "ridiculous" yet silly humor is refreshing, especially in a time when most mainstream jokes seem to revolve around (in my opinion) being a perv. I also think the series is revolutionary in its views on same-sex relationships, as well as the fluidity of gender itself. Of course, the main couple, Akane and Ranma, is still "strictly heterosexual," but the way the story addresses love, gender, and gender fluidity with Ranma is something that... in a way, heals my heart.

I wish there were more series like this—just light-hearted fun, love, and the freedom it brings to us viewers.

And Free sung by Jinu and Rumi was on loop in my head WHEN I HAD THE ABSOLUTE MISFORTUNE OF RELATING THE LYRICS TO THE TRAGEDY THaT IS MY RESEARCH PAPER

Do y'all see hear what I do or am I insane (don't answer that)

every year my university selects about ten stories from an exam that they have the students of my course (and others) do. the stories will then be printed in a booklet that is given to people for free at my uni's open day in october.

social issues are usually addressed. last year the theme was human rights, this year's is climate change.

so i did this – i know it's not in line with what i usually post, but lately i've been feeling quite miserable and i could only focus on this.
