Summary: Disappointing DVD quality- Viz should've continued VHS subs
Review: Everyone thinks that just because an anime gets release on DVD that the quality would be better than seeing it on videotape. Either the fans haven't seen this Viz DVD, or the people who do these for Viz didn't work from the best possible source. As one Ranma 1/2 fan who owns all of the Viz Ranma 1/2 subtitled VHS releases, this DVD falls short. The episode title screens were replaced with some Viz-inspired graphic. The opening and ending songs have no roumaji lyrics - the subs aren't selectable! The disc defaults to English audio and subtitles off. Viz has never dubbed Ranma 1/2 successfully in English (the voice people can't say "Akane" correctly - it's "Ah Kah Neh" not "uh Connie") and having their DVDs default to the dub track is a finger in the eye of fans. The Third episode on Forever V.6 actually has a title that translates to "Decision! Miss Beachside". It does not say 'Battle'. Yes, some spots of the translation aren't quite right. "urayamashii" is a typical Japanese Ghost greeting which means "I'm envious..." not "hateful". It's no wonder I don't own any other Ranma 1/2 DVD by Viz. If you like the cover, go find it as a poster! (one of my faves!) but think twice before buying this or ANY Ranma 1/2 DVD by Viz. The subtitled VHS releases are much better in video quality. Transferring a magnetic tape master to digitally compressed video without proper pre-processing just makes it look... odd. Still, maybe the price of admission for the 3rd episode alone might make it worth it for some fans of Ranma 1/2.
