Ranma 1/2

[seta101]

Right... where's the Ranma 1/2 thread? Ranma fans... I know you're out there. If there's enough, maybe we'll do a fanclub, if there isn't one already.

[kane_x]

Ranma is one of the weirdest fighting mangas I've ever read... But I love it...

[NarutoOfMuchStupid]

Prepare to be bent.

[Crucifixation]

Ahh, hands off. Tatewaki Kuno's mine.

[Orihime]

I remember watching the anime more than reading the manga, since at that time, I haven't heard of scanlations and stuff. Anyway, I found this sereis very funny. The characters are all amusing... especially Genma Satome (the panda aka Ranma's dad), Happosei (spelling? the perverted old guy who likes stealing girl udies) and then Ryoga who's sense of direction just plain sucks. XDDD

[kane_x]

...and then Ryoga who's sense of direction just plain sucks. XDDD

Not to mention his stupidity. This guys is just way too gullible...

[Crucifixation]

I can't believe Akane is oblivious to the fact that Ryoga=P-chan.

[kane_x]

I can't believe Akane is oblivious to the fact that Ryoga=P-chan.

Well, she is a very thick headed macho chick... with a bad temper. Even though there were few times when i wondered how low her IQ must have been...

[R_Lee86]

I only watched the first season of Ranma 1/2. It was just getting too repetative and annoying. I think I also saw the first two movies, cant exactly remember. I did also have a weird obsession with Tatewaki Kuno.

[seta101]

Ryoga's the best! I kinda modeled my RP character's sense of direction on him. My favorite is still Ranma though. I saw both movies, but none of the series. Anyone else think that the second one was better?

[Kalm]

Ranma 1/2 is a hilarious anime, and pretty cool too

Favourite Character(s) - Ranma Saotome (Too cool and has that funny curse) & Shampoo (No, not because she's sluttish)

Least Favourites - Akane Tendo (Far too violent, and bad tempered) & umm...No, just Akane

[Violence Fight]

i'm reading the manga right now, since I don't have access to the anime. Its very good in my opion. the character designs and ideas are pretty alright too. I'm not a big fan of everyone have some form of curse or something, but I do like the idea of Martial Arts EVERYTHING.

Ryoga is cool(its been awhile since I saw the anime, but I keep picturing him as being voice in the dub by the guy that does Koga from Inuyasha).
Ranma is surprisingly funny.

Akane is..well..akane. I don't like, or hate her. but I do think shes friggin' stupid 98% of the time. And seeing as Ranma has been in about 600 incidents of "Supposed Adultery" by the end of book 10, You'd think the girl would start taking his word for it by then.

[blind51de]

Very well balanced shonen/shojo manga. Better than Inuyasha in that regard.

[Ausar]

It's a pretty good manga to me and the fights are really wild but then again that's what draws me to certain anime/manga; the fighting.

[xeleron]

Ranma 1/2's first few season is really good. Yet, it got boring and repetitive with jokes. I don't think they even have the ending from the manga, where Akane decided to wed Ranma >< My favorite character is probably Ukyo (don't know exact spelling) though.

[azn]

i luv ranma½, its funny and the fighting is ok. my favorite chracter is happosie(the old peverted dude, sorry i dont know how to spell his name) i like him bc he is funny and him and ranma always get into trouble.

[DeathWolf]

hmmm i think ranma1/2 is ok to me...the peverted old dude name is happosai hehehe

[Last of the Uchihas]

I love Ranma 1/2 a lot. My favorite character was without a doubt Ryouga Hibiki.

[Confucius345]

Ranma 1/2 is a very funny and silly manga/anime i like it aloi ;) !!!

[naruto_reader]

Ranma 1/2 is my favorite manga of all time. i am waiting for 29 to come out.

[¤Naruto-Kun¤]

is it about this guy that turns in to a girl at totally random times

[rakS]

is it about this guy that turns in to a girl at totally random times

Yes, but it's not randoom it is because of cold water

its been a while i saw the anime. is the manga better????
(normally i tend to like mangas more)

[Miso]

Stupid but funny!

I had to laugh a lot.
But I haven't read the manga but only seen the Animes which were released here in my home country.

[seta101]

I'm glad this thread is soooo popular. I'll be starting a Ranma 1/2 FC! so be sure to stop by. I started with the manga, and I think it's better than the anime. and yes, Ryoga does remind me of Koga!

must be the fangs. :xp

[Naruto_Uzumaki]

Ryoga rules!!!

no sence of direction and hes dumb as a stick (like me) hahahaha :D

[Sesshoumaru]

I'm glad this thread is soooo popular. I'll be starting a Ranma 1/2 FC! so be sure to stop by. I started with the manga, and I think it's better than the anime. and yes, Ryoga does remind me of Koga!

must be the fangs. :xp

If there is anything you wish to ask me about Ranma 1/2, just PM me. I'll be NarutoFan.com's official Ranma 1/2 Guru.

My favorite character will always be Ranma Saotome and my second favorite is Ukyou Kuonji!

Actually, I like all the characters, but my least favorite is Ryoga Hibiki.

[seta101]

alright! so the Ranma 1/2 FC is UP! the link is in my sig, if you wanna join, just post!

[Aruka]

Ranma 1/2 rocks!!!! XD

[tweekt]

can some1 give me a link to the manga scanlations?

[Kakashi_Love]

I love ranma!!!

[CABLE]

Anybody else prefer the anime over the manga? i sure do.

[Raistlin-sama]

Ranma ½ is really good, i've read the entire manga...

Saw the first few episodes, and it didn't make me want to see more, since it generaly looked like it was just the manga in a more, boring and repetive form

[krescentwolf]

If the anime had actually finished the Ramna storyline i might have liked it better then the manga. I would've liked to see the rest of the manga animated -_-

Still I wish Takahashi wouldve put some finality on the story, it just.... sorta... ends... after a certain point. Ahh well... thats what Fanfics are for. Ramna 1/2 will live on... FOR EVA!!!!!!!

[Kyuubi_Xx]

Ranma is very cool. :amuse I really like the manga, but I've only seen a few episodes of the anime, and that was a while ago. From what I remember, however, I preferred the manga over the anime (then again, that's normally the way it is with every series I like).

I haven't read the manga in a while, either... I'll have to re-read it sometime over the summer. :amuse

[Gaara_81]

0Oohh! ranma 1/2 rulez!! oh god i love the manga! for 3 reasons!
1)the hentai!(in the manga u can sit there and look at it for hours!)
2)storyline
3)the funnyness! w00t! it is so funny!

fav. character: Ukyo(sp?) first apperence book 8 or maby book 9(haven't read it in awhile)
and i love ranma 1/2.....

[Zeff]

A vey cool manga

[Moni_Saku]

I like so much Ranma 1/2 is one of my faves mangas! ^^ I've some manga's volumes..and i saw the anime....

My fave characters are Ryôga :amuse , He's so funny.

[Lyre]

Very funny manga, just the ending kind a sucked -.- I laughed a lot while reading it :jir_thumb
I can wholeheartly recommend it....

[mUcHo LoCo]

any1 like ranma out there??
for me it was the first piece of manga i'd ever seen when i was smaller, its been kinda old now and the anime's been out and stopped being aired already, but i still think its my favorite manga of all time smile-big

[Scorpio3.14]

Ranma was a great manga. Very funny and tons of great characters. Although one thing I didnt like about Ranma was the ending in that there was none...I hated that! Nothing was resolved at all.

Oh well, it was still a great manga and one of my favorites too.

[mUcHo LoCo]

oh yea, its kinda like an extended gag manga cause there was no real plot in it, just training and fighting and doing funny stuff

[mnacreman]

Yeah, I loved Ranma up till the end. Actually I've read almost every manga by Rumiko Takahashi. I was pretty pissed with the ending though. I mean nothing, absolutely nothing, happens between Ranma and Akane after 407 chapters. I kept thinking, "Is this it? Where's the rest?" I think she likes those unresolved endings the Mermaid Sagas end like that also. I've been following InuYasha I pray it has a real ending.

[Chamcham Trigger]

Yeah the Ranma manga was good. I wonder why the anime didn't introduce some of the manga characters. It would've made things more interesting. And they took out some really great parts when they were animating things. I was so disapointed when they took out the part where the gambling king fight went crazy when they were playing Old maid. It really pissed me off.

[Raptor]

Yeah very good one. Though i would have liked to get the original version instead of the Viz one... but good anyway.

[Baby Raptor]

i already own action manga ranma 1/2 currently 9 vol i wonder compete vol is 32 or 34 i am confused

please dont spoil about end of Ranma i dont reads past post in this threasd

i love it becasue it is lot of load comedy in that manga

[Molekage]

BEST ANIME/MANGA EVAR
is there a fanclub for it btw? i just panicked when i saw this thread.

[Baby Raptor]

i just found out at Viz media , they already have 1-32 novel but it will releae 33-38 in future but japasese novel already hve 32 novel but i am current on vol.9

[Molekage]

actually, viz has up to 33 (i have it). i think 34 is scheduled to be released in august.

Rumiko Takahashi needs to stop drawing inuyasha and make more ranma manga and anime. if i ever get rich, and shes still alive, i want to pay her into making the ending into an oav or a movie.

[Baby Raptor]

you got 33 novel! dam you are rich! i just bought at two ago month for 1-9 vol but i will planning to buy 10-14 novel in Border bookstore becasue it is sale if you buy three novel then you get free novel book

[Molekage]

haha, no, i'm a poor college student. i watched the anime through and only have vols 5-7 and 26-33. a lot of what i have comes from the above mentioned borders/amazon 4 for the price of 3 dealie.

tis too bad that it seems only me an raptor02_2001 post on this thread. dude, we need to generate more publicity for ranma! if you like fun anime/manga, its for you.

[Baby Raptor]

i wonder Ranma but anime dont follow Manga storyline ? but i dont planning to buy dvd ranma becasue i prefer to read novel rather anime dvd

[Molekage]

well, i think that the anime is sometimes done better than the manga, because it has more cutesy ranma and akane scenes. also, the wording in the anime is better imo. the thing about ranma anime is that i like watching it when i work, because the dub is EXCELLENT. (so is the sub, but its hard to be know whats going on when you are mostly listening rather than watching and don't understand japanese).

the anime is not all that different from the manga. most of the differences are nuances. for example, in late vol 4/early vol 5, shampoo and ranma are at the beach attempting to take the phoenix pill from cologne, and in the anime (season 2 episode 9), they are at a ski resort, but the outcome/situation of both instances are pretty much the same. the anime sometimes extends story arcs in the manga as well.

in terms of character differences, some characters are not introducted at the time when they were introduced in the manga. gosenkugi wasn't introduced until season 6 of the anime, but he was there from nearly the beginning in the manga. other characters like akira, konatsu, etc. aren't introduced to the anime at all. i think all in all, only about 1/4 to 1/5 of the manga was made into anime.

[killuahxh]

The Ranma 1/2 anime is for hack retards, only if you have downsyndrom can you enjoy it, otherwise it's complete diarreah. The manga on the other hand is very good, but I did think the ending was a little half assed.

[Molekage]

i'm not a hack retard nor do i have down syndrome, but i still liked it. it wasn't perfect, but thats how i initially got into ranma.

i liked the ending except for the open endedness of it all. thats why she should stop doing inuyasha and give ranma a better ending. :)

[Scorpio3.14]

i liked the ending except for the open endedness of it all. thats why she should stop doing inuyasha and give ranma a better ending. :)

I agree with that 100%. There is still so much more she could do with Ranma and the gang but Inuyasha is getting really stale. I know her chances of re-starting Ranma 1/2 are realistically near zero, but you can blame a fan for dreaming :P

[Molekage]

God bless you scorpio. most definately. you know, there are a lot of people on naruto fan. if we can broadcast ranma more, i'm sure a lot of people will come to the light. then, with the revival of the ranma fandom, we can convince her to start it up again. its farfetched, but i'd totally be up for it.

[Baby Raptor]

if you are big bussiness , you could make her but she already on another manga series
i am not sure
last novel 's end but i dont see anime or manga end becasue i dont there in end of story i have no idea about that

[Hatsune Miku]

Ranma 1/2 was a good series to begin with following after that is Inuyasha. I liked the whole thing except for the ending. :oh

[Molekage]

so, do you guys like the akane ranma pairing? akane really is a little bit uncute, but ranma deserves it most of the time. if they weren't so cute together, i'd actually say ranma and ukyo makes more sense.

[Kent]

so, do you guys like the akane ranma pairing? akane really is a little bit uncute, but ranma deserves it most of the time. if they weren't so cute together, i'd actually say ranma and ukyo makes more sense.
:wtf I like Ranma Akane pairing, they both need someone like themselves in a relationship so it really works :nod

:blink am I the only one who liked the ending?? Sometimes it needs to be an open ending :P

btw, Ranma ½ rocks :nuts one of the only manga's I've really laughed when I've read it XD

[Molekage]

so i love the pair too. its really cute. i just think its a little unrealistic, and ukyo and ranma works better practically.

in regards to the ending, i hated it at first, but eventually really like it. although i'd like a little bit more closure... and MORE RANMA! :)

geez. i post to much on this forum. i guess that makes me a ranmatard?

[Baby Raptor]

Hey i am in miss in action of Ramna but i am current on vol 17 but i will buy it at next week 18-20 vol, i am addict from that ranma , i wonder Viz already released 33 vol am i right ? it will total of 36 or 38 i check website from Japenses raw volume online said total 38 volume but Viz already releaed 1-32 volument for now , i got email from Viz rep. said they will released at bimontlhy release in futture after 33 vol

[Molekage]

yeah, 33 is already out. just look at amazon or something. some people on ebay also claim to already have 34.

[Baby Raptor]

Viz said it will release 33 in June ,

we need to thread to alive since you and me are fan of Ranma !

[Molekage]

YES. hey, want to start a ranma fanclub?

and dude, like i've said before, i own 33. i can show you a picture or something. you can get it on amazon. go go go get it! :)

[Baby Raptor]

i rather to buy bookstore of Border store

[nekocat17]

I love Ranma1/2! I just bought volume 34 at the store today. This series is so funny. I didn't used to really like the ending, but I've gotten used to it now. I do wish it would have had more of a conclusion feeling to the ending though. At least in the end the author made it clear that Ranma and Akane do get married eventually.

I don't think there are any characters in this series I really dislike. Although sometimes I think Akane can get kind of ridiculous with hitting Ranma with that appearing mallet because you'd think she'd take time to listen to him before doing that. But then the few times she does try to listen he just ends up insulting her instead of explaining. One of my favorite characters is Ryoga, he is really funny.

I hope someone does start a Ranma fanclub, that would be really cool.

[Baby Raptor]

so good more memeber mean more merry!!

[Molekage]

awesome neko cat. you win for liking the best manga of all time. i also want to start an ANTI inuyasha club, so the author can WRITE MORE RANMA! :)

34 is out already???

[Molekage]

[Baby Raptor]

everyone else, you know you want to join!

[Kaki]

Its a great work.....I read it all a few years ago....

[Molekage]

Thanks for reviving the thread. We keep trying, but no dice.

[Baby Raptor]

dang , i have 21 vol. to catch to 32 (current in Viz ) i am not much in thread

i am thankful for that

[Molekage]

rap, you're alive. wait, you are thankful you don't post?

[fuzzywasheshe]

alot of ranma has the fealing of fillers when i whach the anime i was like "this has to be fillers" but so there was none so i guess i wont read the manga but
it realy drags out no development with ranma and akane that prolby y it can last 6 seasons or 30 something volumes though i would like to now did akane ever find about the dirty little secret p-chan had

[Molekage]

^ ranma's just a feel good, love the characters manga. also, the anime isn't necessarily told in the manga. and no, she never figures it out to my knowledge.

[SunOfAlubarna]

Ranma is one of my favorite manga's, but the anime<<<<manga, which, umm, means that the anime is far worse than the manga. So, READ GUYS!

>_>

And what about your least favorite character? I hate Gosunkugi..

.. he sucks.

[Bisuke]

I hate Shampoo.
and the girl Ranma.

>>

and yes, read the manga. the anime's not that bad but not as good as the manga.

[SunOfAlubarna]

Tha's true, man.

What do you think of Gosunkugi? You know, the annoying bastard that has a crush on Akane... and Ranma has fought him several times in the manga.

[Bisuke]

hn, he is annoying.

>>

but, being a rival of Ranma, he can be pretty persistent. besides, I like seeing Ranma get all jealous when Gosunkugi tries to make a move on Akane.

[Baby Raptor]

i love Akane becasue she is really dumb to figure out but she is cute and i love her angry reaction , i am current on 21 vol (viz manga)

[Molekage]

yeah, i think gosenkugi episodes in the anime lended themselves to a cute ranma/akane scene. haven't seen him much in the manga, so i dunno about that.

the guy i really hate is ryoga. god, hes so annoying.

[SunOfAlubarna]

hn, he is annoying.

>>

but, being a rival of Ranma, he can be pretty persistent. besides, I like seeing Ranma get all jealous when Gosunkugi tries to make a move on Akane.

Maybe, I don't know.

And why is Ryoga annoying? I don't see anything wrong with him, and would you know.. you agree that Ryoga x Ukyo is a neat pairing?

I do. :nuts

[Molekage]

i mostly dislike ryoga because he gets in the way of ranma and akane.

ryoga and ukyo is retty neat, but never going to happen according to furinken.com. from the manga, ryoga gets akiri, butwhat bothers me is ukyo, my favorite girl character, doesn't get anyone.

[nekocat17]

Does Ryoga get in Ranma and Akane's way? I never really noticed that. He would try to get with Akane but it didn't ever seem to make any difference.

I think RyogaxUkyo is a really cute pairing too. I like the chapter where they're trying to separate Ranma and Akane in that cave, but end up fighting the whole time. I like RyogaxAkari too though they're really cute together. As for Ukyo she didn't really end up with anyone, but didn't that one guy Konatsu seem to like her or something?

[Molekage]

yeah... but... its... konatsu.............. ukyo deserves better!

i dunno if it was ever in the manga, but theres this one time where akane gets these sakura moochi that can tell her who she'll end up with in season 7 of the anime. and for a while it looks like shes destined for ryoga. also there the time when ryoga learns the breking point. akane seemed to be all over him there, and the the assult on the girls locker room when they are looking for the japanese nanichuuan... GRR RYOGA.

[nekocat17]

Yeah, good point. I've only actually read one chapter with Konatsu in it and he seemed kind of weird.

And all those parts with Ryoga I did read in the manga as well, but I think since Ranma and Akane do end up together I kind of forget the parts with Ryoga interfering because it didn't make any difference in the end anyway.

[Molekage]

quoted for truth. but... i got so attached to ranma as a character that i want to defend his womenz. its like in fruits basket, i can't stand yuki pulling things on tohru.

yeah, konatsu, as far as i see, still thinks he is a girl. no. ukyo needs a ranma clone... if it wasn't for akane, i'd like ranma + ukyo

[nekocat17]

Yeah if Akane wasn't around it does seem like Ukyo would be Ranma's most likely choice especially if the only others are Shampoo and Kodachi. Ukyo definitely seems a little saner than a lot of the characters.

Thinking about Ryoga and Ukyo it really is a cute couple. I wonder why the author didn't try putting them together in the end.

[Molekage]

does ukyo know about ryoga's pig thing? that might have something to do with it.

yeah, it seems like akari was a weird character to introduce, it ties things together better if ryoga goes for ukyo. then again, she didn't exactly tie up the ending.... maybe she liked the open endedness of it all.

all in all, ukyo seems to dominate ryoga when they are together. i think ryoga wouldn't really like that.

[nekocat17]

Good point, I don't think she does know. Now that I think about it aren't the only ones who know Ranma, Akari, and the others who are cursed. If she actually liked him I wouldn't think she'd have a huge problem with it though because she didn't mind Ranma' curse.

I never really thought about it before but now it seems kind of weird why the author didn't put Ryoga/Ukyo together in the end because there were a lot of cute scenes with them. I think the anime had more hints toward that couple though didn't they? Since the anime never introduced Akari. Ryoga/Akari does seem like it has a kind of equal thing to their relationship though because they both seem spacey sometimes. (more so on Ryoga's part) So maybe that's why the author put them together.

This sucks, I just had to retype all that because the forum logged me off.

[Molekage]

awww... poor neko cat.

in the anime, the ryoga ukyo things that i can remember were...
the hot springs race thing
the tunnel of lost love
the movies
they were all kind of cute, but in all of them, ukyo was bossing around ryoga who didn't really acknowledge her. that actually adds to my fodder against ryoga... TREAT UKYO WELL!!! sheesh.

[nekocat17]

I like both their characters so I guess I don't really notice when Ryoga ignores Ukyo or Ukyo yells at Ryoga.

I like the cave episode. It was funny that Ranma and Akane thought that Ryoga and Ukyo were dating, especially the end of the chapter when R/A were talking and said something like when a couple foghts it shows they like eachother or have a good relationship (or something like that, I haven't read it in a while) Because it was like look who's talking.

Ryoga could be nicer to Ukyo though. He acts nice to almost no one though, but sometimes he seems to at first and only starts ignoring or fighting with people when they try to trick him when they first meet. So he only seems really nice to people like Akane and Akari who never tried to trick him.

[Molekage]

its funny, ranma and akane are always completely in sync wth one another, just like their reactions towards ukyo and ryoga in the tunnel of lost love. its just when they are aware of what they are doing, they get embarrassed. its really cute how they are always together when the story focuses on other characters.

i mostly don't like the cave ep because ranma was being a little too insensitive for my taste. but ryoga + ukyo was really kawaii in that ep!

ryoga is really untrusting and really rather dumb. the only reason he is nice to akane and akari is because he is head over heels for them. silly ryoga. and nekocat, thanks for helping keep this thread alive! reps for you.

[nekocat17]

You too! If you weren't still posting I'd just be all alone here. I like posting about this series because I'm more sure of what I'm talking about compared to Naruto and Bleach which I just saw recently.

I agree about Ranma and Akane can be similar like that when the focus is on others. They look so much like a couple when they act like that and it would be obvious to everyone around them. The two of them are probably the only ones that don't notice how together they look.

Was Ranma insensitive in that episode? I watched part of it not long ago and didn't really notice, but I can be really unobservant about things. Yeah and I guess Ryoga is nice to Akane and Akari because it's not like he can even think about what he's doing when he's around them.

[Molekage]

i could be wrong, but i think ranma was really bad in that ep, but i think its because people were with him. when akane was getting scared of the ghosts, ranma was all ah, don't be a baby. ryoga is much more sympathetic, and ranma actually gets a little bit jealous. but then akane notices ukyo seeming to get really upset at her, and she thinks its because of ryoga... hence leading to the ukyo and ryoga thing.

hahah, good point about ryoga. he is even more airheaded around those two. theres this great chapter when ryoga tries to double date them in his own house, and ranma's pretending to be a maid is just completely screwing with ryoga, who doesn't want akari and akane to know hes actively two timing them. of course, akane doesn't pick up on ryoga hitting on her.

why is akane so dense about ryoga? i know its funny, but shes supposed to be one of the more intellegent characters in the series. it so blatantly obvious that he is hitting on her/is pchan. ah well, its still funny.

[shibigoku]

it's a very good manga but it's out dated.

[nekocat17]

Yeah it is kind of old, but some of the best manga are the older ones. And it doesn't seem old to me because I haven't actually read the ending yet.

At Molekage:Now that you mention it I do remember that Ranma was being kind of insensitive in that episode how he was making fum of Akane for being scared.

I love the chapter in Ryoga's house, that's probably one of my favorites. I can't believe that he didn't get caught. I forget did he know Ranma was the maid or not? I think probably the main reason for Akane never knowing P-chan was Ryoga was that it was funny. There was that time she nearly found out though when Ryoga had that tatoo on his stomach. That was weird she didn't figure it out then because she usually is smarter like she always knows when Ranma is disguised when other people don't. I still can't believe how many times Ryoga fell for the Ranma in disguise tricks. Like that time when he pretended to be Ryoga's sister. I was surprised that she never found out though, I thought for sure she would at the end of the manga.

[Molekage]

@shibigoku: an oldie but goody. its still awesome. have you finished it?

ryoga finds out that ranma is the maid at the end of the story, when akane gets mad at ranma and exposes him.

definately akane's obliviousness is plot no jutsu.

what volume does ranma pretend to be ryoga's sister? i haven't read that one.

[nekocat17]

So he does find out? For some reason I was thinking that he knew the while time, but then if he knew it was Ranma then he wouldn't trust him so that makes more sense.

The Ranma pretending to be Ryoga's sister thing is in volume 9.

[Molekage]

yeah, ryoga NEVER fails to fall for ranma's disguises. even a bloke like mousse can trick ryoga.

what do you think of mousse and shampoo? works or not?

[Baby Raptor]

Shampoo dont like Mousse becasue Mousse dont beat her in fight , she has belief man can beat everyone , she will fall over him but i am currently on 21 vol ... i will plannning to buy 22-25vol in next week if i could

[Kaki]

Shampoo is my fav....I'm almost done downloading all of ranma ...

[Nico]

Shampoo currently plays hard to get in my sense. D:

[Molekage]

^hm... but certainly not with ranma! especially in early chapters when she would appear in the bath with him.

i don't know if she gets what love is. she went head over heels for ranma when he beat her up.

^hm... but certainly not with ranma! especially in early chapters when she would appear in the bath with him.

i don't know if she gets what love is. she went head over heels for ranma when he beat her up.I think Ranma was the first male person(or person at all) to win anginst her. Or that hit in the head with the bomobree must have done something with her head.

[Molekage]

^hahah! maybe you;re right.

hm... i know ranma was the first guy to beat her, and thats got me thinking. are you saying she feel in love with his strength? cause then that would make sense. some girls like really strong guys.

[Nico]

^hahah! maybe you;re right.

hm... i know ranma was the first guy to beat her, and thats got me thinking. are you saying she feel in love with his strength? cause then that would make sense. some girls like really strong guys.
Possibly.:amuse

Or Shampoo is just trying to be with her tradition of the law.

[Molekage]

yeah... thats what i originally thought too. i sort of wondered if it was really love.

do you guys think the girls actually love ranma (aside from akane)? all of them seem to have infatuation, but no actual love (since hes constantly getting beat up in their crossfire).

[Nico]

Well one was susposed to marry Ranma earlier, now trying to win him over. The other one fell of a roof and though she would die but ranma recused her so yeah.

[Molekage]

yeah, they aren't actually in love or yeah they are?

i think out of all of them, ukyo feels the most loving towards ranma.

[8018]

ranma 1/2 = :love
i love this anime ;-;
i never got the chance to
read the manga tho =/

Ranma 1/2 was one of my
first anime .___.
and i loved RanmaxAkane so much <3333

Same.:amuse

I saw the anime first before the manga. So I'm the same as you. I could link you to a manga site if you want.

BTW: Nice sig.

Molekage: I don't think ranma is with any of them. Akane is the one.:amuse

[8018]

^that would be neat <3

your sig is pretty kewl too XD
i haven't seen lance in a long
time X]

[Molekage]

@Pikeru_7, yeah, but i think of the other 3, ukyo actually loves ranma the most. no one can replace akane in ranma's heart tho. sooo cute, they are the main reason i love ranma so much. i have never seen a more cute (albeit dysfunctional) couple

[Nico]

It's nice what Ranma says in the in the end.

[Molekage]

^of the manga? the absolute end? cause i'm pretty sure he says nothing in the last page of manga

[8018]

Same.:amuse

Molekage: I don't think ranma is with any of them. Akane is the one.:amuse

what happened to the link? ;-;

[Kaki]

What kind of link?

[8018]

a link for the Ranma 1/2
manga

[Molekage]

was browsing around and i found this. dunno how good it is.
http://groups.msn.com/MangaDepotRanmaDepartment/yourwebpage.msnw

[nekocat17]

This was on the last page, but I wanted to mention about Mousse and Shampoo. I like that couple, I don't know why exactly they're just kind of cute together. There are a couple times in the manga where it almost seemed like Shampoo maybe kind of liked him(or took pity on him) but there was always some kind of joke afterwards so it was hard to tell. Like there was the time when Mousse was first introduced when she stopped hm from fighting, but then was teasing him afterwards or when she gave him the scarf she made even though it already said Ranma on it. So I wonder if the author was hinting at that couple or not because since Ranma will get with Akane eventually and (hopefully) the other fiancees would give up on him. Or knowing Shampoo maybe not. She can be kind of extreme.

[Molekage]

^ HAHAH i love the jinzu statue one! "isn't there something wrong with the stitching shampoo?" "what make you think shampoo start for mousse?" i don't think shampoos is ever letting go of ranma, though, unless he loses to mousse on purpose. too bad that hes too prideful to lose on purpose.

i'm very fond of shampoo's dub voice. all in all, i think ranma is the best dub i've ever seen.

[Nico]

a link for the Ranma 1/2
manga

Try this site. (http://ranmahentai.ranma.ws/RanmaManga/index.htm)

[Kaki]

That MSn one is great, makes me watn to color Ranma.......

[Nico]

That MSn one is great, makes me watn to color Ranma.......
That depends. Which gender?

[8018]

thanks <3 but the one
Pikeru_ gave me doesn't work
.__.

[Nico]

http://ranmahentai.ranma.ws/RanmaManga/index.html

Correct link.

[Molekage]

i tend to like to buy hard copies of the manga. i'm such a ranmatard... i'll eventually collect the whole collection. although i did cheat and read 38.

[Kaki]

That depends. Which gender? I ment coloring the manga....

[Nico]

i tend to like to buy hard copies of the manga. i'm such a ranmatard... i'll eventually collect the whole collection. although i did cheat and read 38.
Not really cheating though.:amuse

I would do the same even though the manga comes once every 3 to 4 months. It's taking too long. ><

[Zhongda]

heh, amazing manga...
ending is shit though
pervy indeed

[Molekage]

endings ok. it takes a while to get used to

[Kaki]

http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/7990/ranranma0vd.th.jpg (http://img126.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ranranma0vd.jpg)

That is what i'm talking about, what do you think?

[Nico]

Good work Kagahara.

The ending is nice to be honest. bUt not anything special. But it does show the future of their relationship.

[Molekage]

like 've said many times before, i wish she'd stop inu yasha and restart ranma. the ending isn't good enough for such and awesome manga.

Kagahara, looks good. if you could adjust the darkness of the lines of the actual page, that would look better (not really yout problem tho)

[Baby Raptor]

no way!! i am not reading manga online , i prefer to buy hardcopy book i am in the vol 21 i will buy it ( i dont know to buy when becasue i am stuck in school summer classes and Work yike i dont have to time to shopping bookstore )
i know Bookstore have 1-34 book vol but they will released 35 in july and 36 Nov and etc.... but i am loyal in bookcopy i dont mind about anime becuse anime dvd is tooo cost for me $120 each season (oww!)

[Molekage]

i like buying the books to support ranma. i still have dreams of the ranma fanbase being revived.

[8018]

i'm falling in love with this
series all over again :love

i think i'll start buying the books XD

[Molekage]

awesome! if you haven't joined yet, you should join the ranma fc (shameless promotion). we haven't had new members recently..

[8018]

i posted already in there asking
for joinage <3
X]

[Molekage]

ahhH! how recently? did i overlook you? ahhhh! sorry!

[8018]

you already added me, so its kewl X]

[Molekage]

awesome. have you read it all before?

[Kaki]

The fanbase is always around.....but I was condiering a color project....
What do you think?
I know I just did a siple color, and the original page was poor quality which I did't clean up...

[Molekage]

by color project, you mean coloring all of ranma? i'd be down with that.

[Kaki]

Yea, if we could find some good color pepole that are interested, the spreading of it could be cool........personally I'd like to see it. and it may add some fans...

[Molekage]

would this be our "ranma pimping project?"

[Kaki]

yea, that's just what I was thinking....

[Molekage]

dude, lets totally do it. (but after my finals)

[Kaki]

Ok, I just had my last day of school so I'll be ready soon,

[Molekage]

excellent. anyone else interested?

[Nico]

Ok, I just had my last day of school so I'll be ready soon,
1.Congrats.
2.Nice Brad Pitt avatar.

3.That would a be a great development for the series. There should be more fans of the series here :knk

[Kaki]

thanks, and my avey is from fight club...

IT should be good.....

[Nico]

Good Luck with it. It would have been nice if Ranma 1/2 had the color manga sent to here.

[Molekage]

me and kagara will organize something soon.. let us know if you want to help!

kagara, it looks like you just straight up paint bucketed the cells. can you do shadows? how do you want to color, cell shade or realistic? (i cell shade personally...)

[Kaki]

yea, a bit of cell shade would suit it.....we need more painters though...

[Molekage]

yeah... you and i probably can't do it alone... maybe we should ask the fc?

[Kaki]

that's a given.....and maybe a general post in the art section....

[Nico]

Ranma 1/2 question: What was your reaction when you found out ranma as a gender bender.

[Kaki]

Niice.....

[Molekage]

i watched the first ep of anime, said AWESOME cause his changes are hilarious, and then yeah.

[Kaki]

Yeaaaa, in the first ep when he finds out so do we-BOOBS!

[Nico]

I read the manga and when Nabiki kept patting her on her chest to show she was a woman.

That has to be one of the funniest scenses in the manga. Ever

[Kaki]

Yea, its even better in the anime.....

[Molekage]

nabiki is a little... forward.

what do you think about her and kuno. match made in heaven?

[Kaki]

I think its a great pair.....

[Molekage]

i wonder how long it would take nabiki to spend all of kuno's dough

[Nico]

I can be a grat pair but they will shewill be thinking about money too much. I rebember volume 29. The umberlla of love.

[nekocat17]

I like Nabiki/kuno they're interaction together is funny. When Kuno's talking to her it's kind of funny because he doesn't really treat her like most of the other girls.

[Molekage]

seems like he sort of likes her but he doesn't know it...

[Molekage]

kagahara, if you can look at my latest piece of art in the art gallery, thats the type of cell shading i do.

[Kaki]

Something like that will do, but we want to maybe get more realist on some things like covers and special frames....

[Nico]

Some of the covers of the series are good.

Molekage: I like it, :knk

[Kaki]

Yea, I ment the ch. covers.....

[Nico]

Yea, I ment the ch. covers.....
That is a lot though. The covers from the first volume are some of the best. That would would be best to start. Suggestion.

[Kaki]

Yea, personally I need to practive first, but we'll see

[Molekage]

it will give me a chance to try realism. i'm a heavy cell shader.

[Mizoguchi]

are you talking about coloring the manga yourself?
I like the anime but have not read too much manga

[Molekage]

yeah, coloring = more pretty = maybe more fans. karahara, you got time now? i love the manga because it has more stories with my favorite characters of anime

[Mizoguchi]

you talking about my bro, kakihara? He's banned atm.

[Molekage]

gah? what happened? crap... ranma manga pimping project will be on hold at the moment...

[Mizoguchi]

If you're coloring you can start of practice.

[Molekage]

yeah, i guess. i'm working in a chem lab over the summer so i have a lot of down time. i'll get on that.

[Mizoguchi]

Let us see when you get some results...

Do you have good source pages?

[Espada Grimmjaw]

Ranma 1/2 is one of my fav manga/anime I actually have all 7 seasons on DVD and have recently bought the OAV series and the Movie collection, my favorite characters are Ranma, Shampoo, and Ukyo, also Soun cuz of his Demon Head thing but that's it.

[Mizoguchi]

Wow that must have cost a lot!

[Molekage]

don't like akane?

but yeah, ukyo is awesome. the giant spatula is the best weapon ever

[Mizoguchi]

Yea, Shampoo is my fav though.....

[Molekage]

i never really liked shampoo, because she seemed to be ranma's initial rival to akane, and my favorite pairing ever is ranma akane. but shes funny, in the dub, her voice is done really really well. gotta love broken english!

[theCommanderCardinal]

Ranma 1/2 rocks!I love the characters and their chemistry(esp. with Shampoo or Ryoga), but I'd have to say Happosai's an all-time(or old-time!) fave of mine!"You must be mistaken- I'm P-chan!!":laugh

[Nuriel]

I just started getting into ranma here recently. I have only read up to volume 10 in the manga so far. As for the anime, is there anywhere to dl it online? I would like to give it a try if it is any good.

[Molekage]

NURIEL!!!!!!!!! :)

look for the ranma msn group. kagahara said it was good, like might be on the previous page

[Nuriel]

Mokekage :glomp

Thanks! I found the link that was posted. I am eager to read more. You gotta love a manga that features figure skating battles.

[Mizoguchi]

Yea its gotta a lot of crazy stuff and its more popular than Urusei yatsura.

[Nuriel]

^^I haven't read that one. Out of her other manga I have read InuYasha and Mermaid Saga.

[Molekage]

ranma has some of the most crazy scenarios ever. martial arts... dining anyone?

[Nuriel]

It certainly was creative. And it didn't get old as much as Inuyasha has. I mean so far, it hasn't been too repetitive or anything.

[Mizoguchi]

No ranma just make new crazy styles and stays fresh....

[Nuriel]

True. I have gotten to the end yet, but hopefully it has a good ending. And doesn't drag on forever like inuyasha has.

[Molekage]

inuyasha is apparently ranma in ancient japan. however, it seems taht ranma has more things it can work with. killing yokai only goes so far...

[Nuriel]

I actually watched ranma a while ago, and didn't like it as much. But, I went back and gave it another try later and found myself really liking it. At first the whole changing sexes things was too random for me. But, it is very creative and I love all the characters.

[Hatsune Miku]

I've finishing the whole ranma series but since it was so good, I always decided to re-read it some other day. I forgot the total volumes it had...:notrust

[Molekage]

38. get cracking :)

[Hatsune Miku]

@molekage: 38?! hm....I'm off by a few volumes. Time to finish the series....for the 5th time...-__-

[Nuriel]

38, that means that viz has almost released all of the volumes in english. Aren't they on like 35 or something?

[Molekage]

yeah, to my knowlege, only up to 34. i have 33, but i know 34 was released recently.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: Yeah, around that. I recall reading 33 in borders before.

[Nuriel]

I guess I need to get to buying them. I would like to have all of them.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: How many do you have? O_o

[Molekage]

check ebay, you can get some good deals. i just got 1-6 for 15! w00t!

[Nuriel]

I have bought through volume 10 in english so far. I was doing a better job keeping up to date, but I got distracted by all of the other manga I buy.

[Mizoguchi]

I read it not too long ago.

[Hatsune Miku]

@molekage: O_O i guess ebay do have pretty cheap stuff...

@nuriel: Lol, I got volumes 20-30. I got distracted by Full moon though...

[Molekage]

does amazon still have their 4 for 3 deal?

[Nuriel]

My problem is that I work part-time at a bookstore so, I get to see all the manga that comes in. It is very tempting.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: Woah...that is very tempting......O_O It'll make me wanna steal the manga and read it right there....

[Molekage]

ooo, nuriel, love the momiji avy! i need to change my avy soon. i think i'm going to go for a ranma with a forehead protector :)

[Nuriel]

@kunisaki-It is tempting. But, I get an associate discount its great. And we can also check books out. I think I spend as much as I make there though.

@Molekage - Yeah, I was going to use a hunter x hunter avi, but I couldn't decide on one so I stuck w/my furuba theme.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: I'm jealous....I envy you....I can't stay that long in a book store....cause my friends always want to drag me away from mangas -___-'

[Nuriel]

^^You will just have to work on converting your friends to be manga lovers! :) It's quite addicting once you get started.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: Hm....how to convert them....:plot*ponders*

I so remember that! I think I started in 6th grade...I was so obsessed with manga and anime its not even funny...-__-'

[Nuriel]

I got started on something easy like inuyasha or sailor moon. Then it grew from there. Now, I read a lot of manga that are all over the spectrum plot wise. But, I tend to read a lot of shonen actually.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: Oh yes, sailor moon. I still remember that :P I moved onto DBZ and then to Gundam Wing...-__-

[Nuriel]

I've seen dbz, but gundam wing I haven't watched. Is it any good? I know there are a lot of gundam series, so I was kinda intimidated to jump in.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: Yeah. :laugh but all I do is watch the pretty pilots instead of focusing on the gundam and the story...:P All they do is confuse me :sweat

[Nuriel]

lol, I see. Have you watched the ranma anime? I have seen some of it, and I was curious if it goes to the end of the manga.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: Yeah, I have. :P I still remember watching ranma in cantonese when I was younger. -__-' oh how I missed those times...

[Nuriel]

I guess I need to download it, I would like to watch all of the episodes. The manga makes me laugh so much, I can imagine the anime is great.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: So do I. The manga is hilarious! I have yet to re-watch the anime

[Nuriel]

I'm pretty much caught up w/all the other anime I watch, so I will have to download it. I have been looking for something to watch (I'm bored), so I guess it's a good time to watch it.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: yes, it would be a good time to watch it ^_^ I gotta catch up on the Ouran host club one...-__-

[Nuriel]

I've been meaning to watch ouran host club too. It looks like something I would like.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: It's excellent!! It's a shoujo anime though...

Ah, we're getting off topic. Back to ranma.....-__- er....what were we talking bout ranma?

[Nuriel]

lol, I think we were talking about rewatching it. It's so hard to stay on-topic sometimes.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: That is so true. I can't stay on one topic most of the time :sweat I tend to drift off

[Molekage]

hey nuriel, i have a link to ranma torrents on the fanclub thread. the anime jumps around the manga, certain things don't occur in the same order. the anime on a whole is a lot of fun. i'm reminded of furuba anime.

[Nuriel]

Thanks I will go check it out.

I think it is natural to drift off. All conversations are that way.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: And I'm about to drift off to sleep :laugh jk, I won't leave until....10 at night...-__-

[Nuriel]

I am currently reading fanfiction so, I am just posting here every so often. I am a complete fanfic addict. :)

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: What?! You too?! :P What fanfics are you reading? I'm reading the itachi x sakura ones...-__-'

[Nuriel]

Right now I am on the hunt for NaruHina fics. I have never read any ItaSaku fics. Maybe I will look them up.

[Molekage]

itachi sakura is weird. really weird. it makes less sense than suon and hinako

[Hatsune Miku]

@molekage: I'm obsessed with it...I've read kakashi x sakura ones before

@nuriel: Naruhina ones? I havent read those yet

[Nuriel]

I have read Kakashi and Sakura before, those aren't bad. I read pretty much any pairing as long as it is well written its okay.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: True. Now I'm hooked on ItaSaku....-__- maybe I'll read Sasori x Sakura next...

[Nuriel]

I am really intrigued by the Itachi and Sakura fics now, if you have any suggestions for good fics let me know. I don't think I have ever seen any Sasori/Sakura fics before. I am also a sucker for Naruto and Sakura fics as well.

[Hatsune Miku]

@nuriel: I have one!! It's my favorite one so far..lemme find the link for it...

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2736371/1/

here you go!! It would be nice to read saso/saku...

Naru/Saku? Not yet...but I've read Sasu/Saku....I even read Sasu/Hina!!
