Ranma ½ (1989–1990)

Ranma ½ is a romantic comedy and martial arts series primarily focused on slapstick humor, character-driven conflicts, and fantastical elements like gender-bending, rather than engaging with or promoting specific political ideologies. Its treatment of themes like gender and tradition is largely for comedic effect, not social commentary.

The movie, a Japanese production, features a cast of Japanese characters, where the concept of 'traditionally white roles' is not applicable. Gender fluidity is a central plot device, used primarily for comedic effect and narrative complications rather than as a direct social commentary on gender identity. The narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities or portray them negatively, nor does it center strong DEI themes beyond the comedic use of gender transformation.
