Summary: Great series just keeps on getting better
Review: I won't bother going in to how wonderfuly hilarious the Ranma series is, and this season will not disappoint. The only real gripe I have is with the way they treated the opening and closing. For starters, they decided to ditch the Japanese title screen (which says Ranma 1/2 and under it in kanji is a phrase that translates to anything goes martial arts) in exchange for their own really REALLY ugly english one. Thankfully in the last disc where they have the clean opening and endings, they kept the original logo. Secondly, they did not give romaji lyrics to the opening and ending themes, something that while not major, is a nice feature that appears on almost every anime releases(1st episode is translated english, 2nd is romaji, 3rd none and repeat). They also ditched the title screen for each episode which had the Japanese for the episode written out as Akane reads it, and instead they put in their own title screen with the english translation of the title. But not everything is bad however, this time around they used soft subtitles for the signs and what not, vs. season 1 where the subtitles were hard. This is a feature that is much appreciated. All in all however, this minor gripes should not prevent you from enjoying 22 more episodes of the hilarious antics of Ranma 1/2!

Summary: It Gets Weirder, Folks.
Review: If you thought Season One of Ranma 1/2 introduced you to some strange but loveable characters, you, to quote the vernacular, "ain't seen nothin' yet."
From a skating competition to rescue Akane's pet P-chan (Ranma's rival Ryoga in a cursed form), to the return of Amazon warrior Shampoo, now fully aware of Ranma's curse, and carrying one of her own, things get weirder and weirder.
We also get to meet the man who founded the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts, the pint-sized pervert Happosai. He'll go after anything female, even girl-type Ranma.
And Shampoo is accompanied by her Great-Grandmother, a skilled warrior who knows techniques that can make Ranma a more powerful martial artist, or leave him broken in the hands of his rival, Ryoga.
And tremble in fear as tomboy extrodinaire Akane Tendo prepares a meal. (and thank whatever diety you believe in that you don't have to eat it.) Ranma 1/2 is a strong series all the way through. If you like Season One, then you know that this transgender martial arts comedy is the most hilarious thing on the market. Just sit back and enjoy.

Summary: Very good!
Review: If you're looking at this, I'll assume you know there's the first season too :) This box-set picks up where the first season finished, or rather, it doesn't. The first few episodes (featuring martial arts pair figure-skating of all things), looked to me like the belonged in the first season (heck, there's even a reference to it in second-to-last episode of the first season).
Still, it's all very enjoyable. This box-set is practically identical to the first season's, same packaging (different color/pictures, but still), same extras (text-less opening/ending etc..).
It's even consistent in the transfer quality, which is still very good (the original masters were used) and still has the hard-subtitled text overlays and even the same shimmers on the english logo. Wow, talk about consistency. Really, these flaws (if I can even call them that) do not detract one yota from the sheer enjoyability of the Ranma series. The 2nd season is just as good as the first (in my opinion) and I eagerly await the third coming (err, I mean the coming of the third of course :)

Summary: Getting better...
Review: Okay, with the second season of Ranma 1/2(or the first, since this in Japan they started a new Ranma series beginning with this season), we can see that the characters are starting to get more in place, and although Akane and Ranma are still slightly out of character from the comic, they aren't treated as bad as they were in the first season. Ranma switches outfits in this season to the one he usually wears(in the comic, although he has a blue shirt instead of a red one). More of the characters are introduced, including Mousse, Happosai, Cologne, and Sasuke, who is an original character(voiced by Shigeru Chiba, who also voiced Raditz in Dragonball Z and Kuwabara in Yu Yu Hakusho). I do feel Sasuke is a bit out of place(I would have preferred Hikaru Gosunkugi from the beginning), but I can adjust. The animation gets a bit screwy at times, but it's pretty good, more or less. The dub actors seem to be getting a bit more in tune with the characters, although Ranma at times sounds really screwed up, like when he screams, "I'm REALLY angry!," at Mikado. But, the series is getting improved. Well, on to season 3!

Summary: Load up on the 2nd season in bulk
Review: Ranma 1/2 is a series that all anime fans should see, so why not pick up the 2nd season with the most convienient method? This 2nd season is known as Ranma 1/2 Nettouhen in Japan. You see, the first season didn't do so well in the ratings, so they re-worked the story a bit to add more gags and the characters were also touched up a bit. The result was one of the most popular series of all time. The story has alot of naughty humor, but the original manga (comic book) was written by a woman, Rumiko Takahashi, so there is a wonderful sensivity present in the story line. Other than getting a great series in bulk, this DVD isn't so hot. The audio should have been remastered. It comes out almost as mono on my DVD player. Special features are mostly absent. But, it's still better than getting the series on VHS. Must buy for anime fans and Rumiko Takahashi fans.

Summary: MUSABESU KAKUTO RANMA NIBUN NO ICHI!!
Review: Ranma 1/2 never looked better. The transition to DVD is now at its fullest. The original video masters from KITTY TV were used, ensuring the highest animation quality possible. However it is not perfect. There is some level of graininess, and line inconsistency, also their is some color bleeding, especially in the intro. But, the consistency of the animation, far makes up for this. Unlike the first boxed set, the animation is high quality on every single episode. The outlining is crisp and the colors are vivid and distinct. I've never seen Ranma 1/2 look so good. This is a must buy for all Ranma 1/2 fans. The pacing of the story has quickened in the second season. Takahashi's characters are now fully developed. And my look how they shine! You'll love it. And you'll be begging to see the next season.

Summary: Excellent! Perfect for any Ranma fans!
Review: The complete Ranma 1/2 2nd season DVD boxed set is awesome. Not only is that great that you get every single episode from the Anything Goes Martial Arts series but now you don't have to worry about funding some of the hard to find DVD's (FOUL PLAY, CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE and the BREAKING POINT). This series carries on the on-going saga that it Ranma 1/2/ Of course Ranma and Akane return and so do the Eternal Lost Boy Ryoga, Shampoo, the Tendo family, Upperclassman Kuno and his sister the Kodachi but also in this one are some introductions to the some new characters, new adventures and all out fun! This set is seriously a great buy for any Ranma 1/2 fan. You really could not ask for more (aside from Season 3 and 4 on DVD!). If you haven't gotten into Ranma yet, I'd suggest going back to the first season because otherwise you're not going to get it and I've noticed that some people have a hard time following it if they're not up to speed, so really if you haven't seen the first Ranma 1/2 season, do it that FIRST! I realize that of course the boxed set is quite a bit of cash but it is worth it. I can tell you this right now, it's worse if you try to find each DVD one by one and pay for them full price. You'll be spending vouble from what you should have paid for if you just buy the boxed set (trust me I know! I bought the entire 1st season one by one and realized that it was a better deal to buy the boxed set afterwards). That and if you buy the boxed set, you won't have to go store to store looking for those rare ones! Again, get this boxed set if you're a serious Ranma 1/2 collector and fan!
