Oh boy it was pretty empty when I went, I was the only customer 😅 the storefront looks restocked. Nice that they provided complimentary postcards and a paper coaster.

Off topic but one more scene that I wished they had depicted in the remake: Ranma’s thought bubble when he got hit by Akane’s ball as he got distracted thinking about how cute she looked. “It’ll never work.” He liked her from the start but was psyching himself out of it since she liked Dr. Tofu.

I would say Akane was listening, and the turning point was Ranma’s message, which Akane understood clearly: he expressed that he wanted to get to know Shampoo. If my person was telling a potential love interest that, I’d be pretty irate too.

Is telling Shampoo that they should get to know each other explicit rejection? Akane would’ve never done that with another guy. She’s the most honest about her emotions; she knew she was starting to like Ranma, but seeing him allowing himself to be available to another girl was a betrayal.

Sure, Ranma's got a constant foot-in-mouth problem he acquired from his upbringing. He hated being engaged to Nabiki since she used her temporary status as a fiancé as a way to sell his body to others. So, not sure if that'd really pan out well for them to become millionaires :) At least happy ones.

Right? There were many times Akane would sincerely ask him about his interests/feelings, and he would unnecessarily (but for the audience sitcom factor) turn it into an insult to her.
