The Episode Where Ranma Turns Into a Girl

Yeah, Rumiko Takahashi might not think about gender.

Someone writing this episode sure was.

Yes.

And the fact that, like, we're here to talk about one episode.

So to anyone that listened to the previous episode, that was like a general thing about like the whole series, the whole manga.

And now we're just zooming into this one filler episode.

That I feel like...

I was like, I can't squeeze this in to any other topic.

It will eclipse it too hard.

It has to be separated.

This is just, yeah, entirely...

Relatively incompatible with Radva's gender stuff in every other episode.

Because if you try to fit it in there, it's very sad.

Yes, there are...

There are multiple ways to read the episode we're gonna discuss today, and none of them are compatible with how the manga presents things, as well as the rest of the anime, because this is one filler episode.

And it's just, yeah, I actually tried to, like, dig up more information on, like, who specifically worked on this episode.

And admittedly, I didn't search that hard, but I did search harder than I felt was necessary.

Did you find anything? I'm assuming not.

So I did find a list of animation directors and such, which will be relevant at one point, but the thing that I was most interested in was the writers.

And, like, it is so funny.

Like, the first two seasons, you go on Wikipedia, you go on Wikis, you find lists for, like, extensive credit stuff of who worked on which episode.

And then as soon as season three starts, there's just nothing.

And this is, like, the third season three episode.

So, like, I'm just scrolling down.

And then the names just stop right before I hit this episode.
