For real, even as young as I was, I would seethe every time he came into an episode because he would be this crazy overpowered grandmaster who just waltzes in and just repeatedly molests as many females in a single episode as possible and suffers little to no repercussions for it. Like my memory is a little hazy, but does he like ever get any comeuppance for acting like the dirtiest shitbag by the time the show was over?
Also Ukyo was definitely solid. She just wants to make her Okonomyaki and get good at it. Ain't nothing with her for sure.
Wud yoo laek to lern aboot meatz? Look here!
the character archetype of the hilarious serial sexual harasser was so normalized in 70s-80s japanese comics
Happosai is a villain (as much as a romantic comedy has one), we aren't supposed to cheer for him, the idea was that he's so bad that Genma and Soun tried to get rid of him and manage to look sympathetic, despite everything, for doing so. And there's the obvious reference to the ancient master martial artists of movies and the like, he and Cologne are there to mark the power level of "you have to be this strong to be on top".
Gah that's even more infuriating. The fact that even by the end of the show he's not either defeated/neutralized/outcast just makes his behavior all the more galling.

But Ukyo is the best girl and I will fight anyone that disagrees
The author just likes sexual assault. She wants the villains to do it. The heroes to do it. The dads and the uncles and everyone in between (except for the nice guy character).
Along with all the rest?
These characters have gone out of fashion, but certainly aren't rare nor have not gone away.
A lot darker and more serious than most of her previous stuff though. Kind of in the ballpark of Mermaid Saga in a way. Zero gross humor so far too.
(I recall once reading a fic that paired her up with Ranma instead of Akane, which worked better than you might think.)
TBF(?) Takahasi is a veteran of making indefinitely serialized manga. She neeeever throws away any character that she can recycle in the future.
Anytime she needed a quick plot for next week's chapter and she didn't have anything else in the tank she could just throw in Happosai.
Miroku's whole thing was copping a feel on Sango, unfortunately.
...ok.
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
That sounds fantastic to me.
I guess the author did make a sequel series recently, IIRC, so maybe this is to drum up interest in those books?
No, wait, it's the 15th anniversary. That makes sense.
Come for the naked wolf lady, stay for the detailed medieval economics.
Ah yes, "extremely" naked, the state where you have no clothes on... very much? A great quantity of no clothes on.
I'd also disagree with the implication, she's just standing there extremely casually, not doing sexy poses or something. You know, like how a non-human entity would perceive nudity as nothing worth noting until deliberately trying to respect human customs.
I'd forgotten that at the start of the first chapter, Rentarou actually had a childhood friend character that disappears. I remember for a long time people kept expecting that friend to turn back up and have secretly been a girl and become one of the 100 girlfriends.
Also, I was surprised to notice that Shizuka and Nano actually appear in the background of the panel before Rentarou first bumps into Hakari and Karane.
"And this...is to go...even further beyond! Ara araaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
He liked it but was very grossed out when he realized Eva's aren't robots.
Also every time I watch it I think of it but goddamn the mechanical/infrastructure design in that movie is like top of the top class
