Summary: Ranma and the everlasting battle
Review: A must see for any anime fan! the animation is good and so is the dubbing. this is not your typical anime, Ranma is engaged to one of his fathers firends three daughters and the series is his story and hardships in living with jellous would be sutors and his own curse. You cant really say much more or I would give away too much of the plot. Needless to say Ranma 1/2 is verry addictive, I was hooked after the first episode. Hope they put more of this serries on DVD.

Review: All I can say is..Finally! I rented the 1st of this series by accident at a Blockbuster one day and all I can say is... I as hooked! The stories funny, the charecters interesting and the voices were the best I had seen in any dubbed anime. The Episodes on this set are the OAV (Original Animation Videos)that were released sporadically while the series continued. For example in my all-time favorite episode "Stormy Weather:Growng Up with Miss Hinako" - We are introduced to Hapossi long before he was introduced in the series. Still, without watching the series, you can and will enjoy this set. A MUST for any Ranma½ fan!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Undeniable icon of Japanese Anime
Review: Any Ranma fan will enjoy the continued antics of Ranma, Akane, and the rest of the crew.

The DVD features 12 very entertaining OAV episodes, including an entire soundtrack of Ranma videos. The videos alone are a must see for any ranma fan.

Summary: Ranma 1/2 is still the best
Review: Here it is, the best Ranma 1/2 episodes of the Ranmaverse. The animation is top notch. Lots of people who see this will probably notice that Ranma's (female) voice is different compared to the others. Another stand out is during the "Tendo Family Christmas Scramble" while the girls are singing karaoke, they sing "Little Date" (the second opening theme) in english, if you know the song, they forget to say the lyrics "Fall in love!", you can also tell because their mouths are moving but nothing is coming out. Besides these two things everything is terrific. Sorry for pointing out a few defects, but I just had to bring it up. Still don't let these little, almost microscopic defects ruin your decision of buying it, it is worth every penny.

Summary: Weak
Review: I bought this based on the reviews from here.... only one that has failed miserably.

Story, comic, animation was all mediocre. 1 out of 6 episodes was pretty good... rest were just WEAK.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent for those familiar with Ranma
Review: I bought this series as my entrance into Rumiko Takahashi's world of Ranma and in hindsight, this wasn't a very smart move.

That doesn't say I didn't enjoy this series, which I did, but it left me with questions unanswered. How/When/Why did Ranma get his curse exactly (explained in the first TV season), why is he afraid of cats (als the first season), etc..

That said, as this OAV series takes place much later in the TV series, it took a few viewings to get the most out of it.

The packaging is familiar to that of hte Tenchi Muyo ultimate OAV collection (cardboard fold-out with plastic holders for the dvds), sturdy enough but I'd prefer jewel-cases to protect the dvds even better.

The DVD menus are simple, yet effective, and only the last disc contains any extras. Annoying is that the language is English by default (I prefer the original japanese), but that's a minor thing.

The transfer is good, but has some rainbows and pixellation here and there. It's too bad they didn't use the original Japanese masters, the quality is still good, but there's hard credits and subtitles everywhere, which I would've preferred to be optional.

I won't say much about the episodes themselves (read the editorial or other reviews), except hat I enjoyed them a lot.

This set is perfect for anyone already acquainted with Ranma.

Summary: A third movie!!!
Review: I don't own this yet but I will be ordering it soon. One thing I can tell you about it is though that one of these so called OAV episodes is acually a movie. Yes one of these is acually the third movie, it's that the style of it was so simular to an OAV that it is confused with the OAVs alot. You will enjoy this product though because all of Ranma 1/2 is good.

Summary: For Ranma 1/2 fans, new and old!
Review: I have to say, this is probably one of the best Ranma 1/2 series out there. The art is just amazing. The only thing I though was out of place was some of the comedy moments where people went flying. It just didn't seem to fit into the incredibly art, awsome fight sceens, and touching moments. But hey, it was funny anyway. This series has a lot of fan service foe Ranma/Akane fans. The end of "An Akane to Remember" is really sweet. Also for fans of this stlye of Ranma 1/2 art, the second Ranma movie "Nihao my Concubine" is a must see! For new fans, if you haven't seen the first series, see it! It has a bunch of important plot points. Like why Ryoga is in love with Akane, why Shampoo thinks Ranma is her fiance', and why Akane and Ranma fight so much. It will really help you appreciate the comedy in the other series!
