New Fic Recommendations vs. MechaGodzilla II
 
Eh, I'm not sweatin' it.
My take, honestly, is that she does have a bit of a short fuse, but it never helps that Ranma's a chauvinistic idiot.
But really, the whole damn story is littered with personal issues... so many that tripping over one of them can literally set off a chain reaction!  While it's amusing at first, it get's old very fast.  And I kinda take issue with that myself (HA!) because the plot goes nowhere... Well, I'll take that back, there is some development, but it's so slow that it makes Moby Dick look like a fast-paced adventure.

Really, I can do no better than to quote the Status Quo is God article on All The Tropes:
Quote:Though not entirely bound to the trope, Ranma ½'s only means of advancing its story appear to have been introducing new characters (possibly explaining its over time rather large cast), or having an existing character learn a new combat technique (usually to little lasting avail). Two of the story's main features, the relationships of the characters and the curses that some of them carried, remained set in stone despite the characters' many attempts to alter them one way or another. In fact, when the story got to the point where it had nowhere to go but to change, the series ended.
It's always been my one major beef with some of these anime... Status Quo is God sucks.
As for how that plays into interpretations of Akane... Well, if she never really changes, then what do you expect?  Granted, she may have (somewhat) come to terms with Ranma's peculiarities, but in the end she always has a mallet waiting in hammer space just for his head.
