Looked at my Facebook Feed yesterday,
As it turns out, Ranma 1/2 is rumored to get a remake in a similar vein to the URUSEI YATSURA remake from 2022.
Whether or not DAVID PRODUCTIONS will helm the remake or not, this is great news as I'm a big RANMA 1/2 fan, next to DOUG.
Just ask one thing to Rumiko Takahashi and to the producers in Japan:
BRING BACK ALL THE SURVIVING ORIGINAL ACTORS!!!
I'm slightly sore about the fact that all the major characters in URUSEI YATSURA were recast in the remake. Sure, Lum and Ataru's original seiyuus returned as different characters but it just doesn't feel the same to me.
To me, Ranma should always be both Kappei Yamaguchi and Megumi Hayashibara instead of whatever the balls David Productions did with Both Ataru and Lum.
And to VIZ MEDIA, who I know is going to helm the Localization, If you do bring back all the surviving actors of the ENGLISH DUB such as Richard Ian Cox, Kelly Sheridan, David Kaye, Angela Costain, Michael Donovan, etc.,
MAKE SURE THE DUB IS PRODUCED IN VANCOUVER!!!
I'm still sore over YASHAHIME: HALF-DEMON PRINCESS being dubbed at BANG ZOOM instead of OCEAN PRODUCTIONS
despite bring back most of the original dub cast of Inuyasha...
Barring the unfortunate death of Kirby Morrow in November 18 2020.
In my opinion, VANCOUVER, BC is the true home of any DUB of works made by RUMIKO TAKAHASHI.
