I really feel like Anemone was a title that should have been in Ultra and not weekly jump. I enjoyed it but it really felt like a Seinen manga that was, for some reason, pushed into the Shonen mag.
What I am saying is I’m really liking Necromance and how weirdly retro it feels despite its modern setting and can see it straight in editorial’s crosshairs as we add more yokai based manga to the line up
That isn't what's happening, though. You, a person who makes that industry perhaps zero dollars, are trying to boss it around to pivot away from people who make it enough money to BE an industry, of some kind. And I'm not saying it's a healthy industry, it's clearly not, just that you aren't really realistically pointing a way forward, just grousing about things you find distasteful. You'd first have to look into stuff like how anime production committees are formed, what kind of things those production committees want and demand, if there's an alternate way to get the shows funded, etc. Do you even know that system before criticizing it?
It was definitely darker than the usual jump fare. I was surprised by the first chapter.
The studios depend on Blu-ray sales and usually a cut of collectibles like figurines for any of their profit. Hence why shit like de-fogged/de-censored Blu-ray releases are so common. The 5000 weirdos who buy every physical release matter more to the survival of the studio than the 10 million who watched it streaming with ads.
There's a lot of perverse incentives in the industry because of the weird way it's structured. Though tbf the West has movie studios declaring movies canceled after they've already been made, too, so it's not like anime is unique there.
If they do something with Happosai by reducing his creepy, underwear stuff I’d be fine with it. The downside is the inevitable “woke ruined Ranma” people that’ll come out of the cracks. But that’s fine overall, I’ll deal with it.

Like just this bizarre ass fight between two weird old men, one of whom is a flea
They’d end up being lost lost relatives or brothers.

So even Happosai is better than Mineta, is the point I'm trying to make I think.
The problem, sadly, is we're talking about an industry that would rather count domestic pennies than go after international dollars. Though I think that's slowly changing, with things like Jump pulling in a set of foreign one-shots.
I initially thought that Yokai Buster Murakami would be yet another "teen kid vs monsters" story, but the idea that our hero defeats the monsters by delivering a bunch of sick burns about how their mythology doesn't really make sense -- I dunno if it has staying power, but it's at least not something I've seen before.
I'm curious about what they do and don't adapt. Will they adapt the Society of Animal-fuckers arc? Will they adapt the Ryoga's Magical Date-Rape Fishing Rod arc? So much awful discourse!

Also, even if there’s no meta narrative there that ruri dragon chapter was real good. Killer Akane chapter too.

He is, also, a consummate coward.
So he’ll also completely bail on you after that advice
I'm wondering if the existing Ranma 1/2 anime will leave streaming for a decade as a result. (After all, we don't want to confuse the audience.)

Sofia belongs in the too dumb to live category though. Not only did she invite Makoto into her biggest possible weakness she immediately got cocky and paid the price. Probably not dead though, just very badly hurt.
Sofia: I cast Unlimited Blade Works
Makoto: I cast Fuck You
Sofia: Wait that's illegal
Makoto: STELLAAAAAAA!
