My point on the nudity was exactly how it wasn't gratuitous. If anime today has boobs, then it wants to draw attention to them. Anime from the early 90s and onwards had breasts and even nipples as just part of the scene, as just something "normal" that's there.

And yeah, I like Ranma, but I think most people prefer a more continuous and less episodic content. I for sure do, though Gintama's continued and massive success might argue otherwise, heh.
