Unusual pair this week, but it should be fun to see what we can do with them.
So, Curvy Motoko has a fatesplit continuation. Should I follow that option, or would it be better to take a different option from the previous full episode and move on from there? Which would you prefer to see?
As for Quadranma, I think it's about time to skip ahead to the Tendo Dojo, in part because it might be pretty funny to do it that way. Sort of, implied zaniness maybe even opening with a "and that's what happened" to the stunned Tendo family.
In both cases I think I'll leave it pretty open what could happen in either. Really eager to hear your thoughts on these two.
Quadranma - skipping ahead to the Tendo Dojo is good. Going forward, I think the hook here is using the twin thing to have fun with mistaken identity. As I said in the Two Year Anniversy post, some ideas come to mind: "Nabiki gets an eyeful of Isamu's endowment, but keeps hitting on the wrong twin, Akane gets flummoxed because Akihito acts all charming but Ranma [or Isamu] is his usual rude self and she can't tell them apart, Ranko decides to play into the "Evil Sorceror Ranma" thing for a gag while Ranma tries to stop his female twin from sleeping with dudes, Isamu keeps starting fights that Ranma gets pulled into, etc)."
ReplyDeleteMistaken identity can certainly be fun, but the key is not to let such things go on too long. There’s always the risk of it becoming tedious, after all.
DeleteLong term, that's great. Short term, it's probably best not to just dive right into that immediately. Gotta take this at the right pace, have them integrate into the Tendo house at first and establish their places before doing that sort of thing. It'll be funnier that way, probably sexier as well.
DeleteSure, not too long. I was thinking a more Three's Company thing where a mistaken identity is established and resolved within an episode.
DeleteAnd sure, long-term not short-term.
For Curvy Motoko - Go for option 2 Bimbo body, bimbo personality, but same deadly sword skills. and a chance for Sisterly boobs together! Just as Naru comes back out from her romp with Kitsune, She sees the size of Tsuruko's breasts and almost passes out.
ReplyDeleteCan’t really endorse the bimbo thing, but that’s just a matter of personal tastes.
DeleteYeah, that's probably not going to be as much fun as - say - having her show up with a very similar personality to normal to the point that Motoko can't tell at first, then have her realise the more subtle alterations that have happened to her.
DeleteIn fact, that's probably what I'll go with.
I like this idea, that Tsuroko is more normal at first and more is revealed over time.
DeleteI was thinking busty, same personality, but doesn't think anything's wrong.
DeleteAny input Lumitiel?
