Summary: 1st ranma 1/2 movie just OK
Review: This movie will likely be adored by dedicated Ranma 1/2 "otaku", but found merely interesting by ordinary "fans".

I found the movie pretty enjoyable, but found it lacking the cuteness of the TV and OAV series. The movie starts with a quick role call of all the main characters, and some of the minor ones. A good idea, but it wasn't cute at all since it centered on Happosai. Several interesting new characters are later introduced and put to good use with food references and fight scenes. Things seemed to get better as the movie went along. The ending was predictable, but not-too-bad.

If you already have a Ranma 1/2 library, you'll want to add this to your collection. Other folks may want to rent it first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ranma 1/2 Great Series - Great Movie
Review: I'm going to keep this short, you must know the show/comic before buying the DVD, but if you do know it buy this. It's great if you are a fan of Ranma.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ranma's swell anime!
Review: Don't buy this movie if you don't understand the plot. Surf the net to get info, then order. This movie was a slight disopointment in the art region (the OAV series has gorgeous art while the film has good art). On a scale of 1 to 10 for the laugh-factor, I give it an 8. It was really cute. Check it out!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The tv show is much better.
Review: This movie could give an excelent series a bad name. The first 15 minutes of the film will confuse the hell out of you if you know nothing about ranma. The opening chase scene has every character ever created from the series. The plot is half boy/girl (Ranma has a transformation curse hence the tittle ranma 1/2) goes to rescue tempermental fiance. since first impressions are lasting impressions please do not let this be your first ranma tittle. Collect everything else Ranma, but stay away from this abomination that dares to defile the name of this classic series.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ranma, a boy, a girl, a myth
Review: Always loved Ranma. This was the first movie I saw about this wonderful character and what I can say is that the laughter of the whole TV series is included in this anime. Buy it, and the let me know if I was not right!

Summary: Big Trouble In Whosevertownhasatrueanimefanw/othismovieisin
Review: I am a HUGE Ranma fan, so this review may be a lil partial. THIS kind of stuff, however, is the main reason I AM a Ranma fan. Tha animaton was good, but not great, it had those ugly theatrical spot for some reason on the DVD even, but oh well, it seems more theatrical. The dub job is sweet, as always, and the sub job is good, I guess. Not many extra features, but I didn't buy it for the extra eatures, but for the movie itself. The DVD could actually use alot of work, plus it comes in a damn jewel case instead of a regular DVD case. But at least it comes with a DVD sized box to hold the jewel case. If you are already an established Ranma fan, buy it. If not, become an established Ranma fan THEN buy it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Saotome School of Making Good Anime
Review: To me, this is good collector's item for every Ranma fan. The intro at least cameos basically every character (including both cursed forms of the Jusenkyo victims) in the Ranma World. The fight scenes were stupendous, but could've been better had Ranma not gotten his clock cleaned in half of them and if Lychee would've fought at least once. As we all know, The Movie: II is better, but the first one's the classic. A decent question: Where's Ukyou? She cameoed at the beginning and that was it. It would've been da bomb if Ukyou would've lasted the whole film. This is a "must buy" movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Chopstick fliying and Cat fights what more could you want. A must see for all Ranma 1/2 fans!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mousse, Kuno, Ranma, Shampoo. What more could one want?
Review: Though a bigger fan of the magna series than the T.V. show, I was amazed at how well the movie leant toward the traditional magna series. From the chase at the begining to the conclusion at the end, it was all typical Ranma. There are some great fighting scenes as well as a healthy supply of jokes to break the ice. The only fault with it were some of the scenes with Akane and Kirin, Ranma just was'nt meant to be that serious. (My humble opion. If your a fan of the T.V. series or the magna, I strongly recomened it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Fun for Ranma 1/2 fans, boring for every one else.
Review: This film has a plot similar to marial arts drama movies than a traditional Ranma 1/2 film. The movie was good in that it had a large cast an a few good jokes, but that is it. As for a DVD, it rates very poor. The sound is VHS quality, an the video seems to be lacking. There are not a lot of features which you would find in a DVD. What it does have is a nice character profile section which includes an animatied portion so you know how the charater acts. My recomendation is that unless you are a Ranma 1/2 fan, save money a purchase the second movie: Ranma 1/2 The Movie 2: Nihao My Concubine.
