Anime & Its Special Candor

One thing I especially love about anime is how it can transcend
political correctness, and touch certain taboo social issues that we
cannot touch over in America. Let me give an example of what I mean.
In the Ranma1/2 manga, Akane once takes a strength potion by accident.
Not surprisingly, she's loving every minute, being able to beat Ranma
in arm wrestling, but he keeps on trying to anyway. However, when she
finds that the potion is starting to turn her more masculine, and
starts growing facial hair, she picks staying feminine over strength.
It ends, though, with Ranma repeatedly beating Akane at arm wrestling,
and her still trying.
Ranma ain't my favorite manga/anime, nor is this my favorite Ranma
story, but it shows why I love anime & manga so. Rumiko Takahashi is
able to such on some prickly topics, and see the humor. Feminists
over here might call her a traitor, but what is truly liberating about
having to show everything as we want them, not as they are?
She is queen indeed.
