8:15 When she kidnapped Panda Genma in the old anime, she named him Oscar and dressed him up like Oscar from "The Rose of Versailles" (a 1972 manga and 1979 anime taking place before the French Revolution). By a strange coincidence, MAPPA studio (creator of the new Ranma anime) will release a Rose of Versailles animated movie the next year.

I'd say that I do the comparison between the 2 anime and the manga too, I'd say that on the animation it is sometimes better to see the old serie, sometimes the new has better moments. This fight was better in the new animation (closer to the manga too and Shampoo is properly introduced here while her introduction in the old anime was somewhat butchered) So many times the new anime suffers from timing issue though that makes many jokes fall flat. I think they are getting better as the serie progresses (so far) and it is worth watching

@@stefanswiss3760 I'm enjoying the faster pace of this version compared to the original anime. Sigh, one of these days I'll start reading the manga!!!!
