Description:
At the end of its seventh season, the Ranma 1/2 broadcast series concluded with its 161st episode. Although the filmmakers' imaginations were clearly flagging at times, this final collection offers very funny and oddly touching moments. The gentler side of the characters emerges in "Run Away with Me," as an old man revisits his lost youth with girl-type Ranma. "Meet You in the Milky Way" plays off the Asian sky myth of the Weaver Princess and the Cowherd. Princess Ori and Kengyu the herder visit Earth as martial artists, although the story may be a dream of Akane's. In "Mushroom Temple," Ranma and Akane inadvertently eat "love mushrooms"--and decide to marry. The perpetually quarreling duo addressing each other as "pretty baby" and "honey" may set a new standard for improbable humor, although Kuno, Ryoga, and Mousse turn their love feast into a free-for-all. More typical are the slapstick incidents: ghost cat Mao Mo Lin busts up a seaside beauty pageant and falls for Tsubasa, not recognizing his true gender. Nabiki and Sasuke sell scandalous photographs of "the pigtailed girl" to Kuno. Ryoga discovers the "Lion Roar Blast" technique, which grows more powerful as the practitioner grows more depressed, forcing him and Ranma to stage a misery contest. Rumiko Takahashi's Ranma 1/2 ranks among the undisputed classics of anime, and few animated series can match the chaotic hilarity of its more inspired moments. (Rated 13 and older: brief nudity, risqué humor, slapstick violence) --Charles Solomon
