In this video the whole gang (ranma,akane,their parents,cologne and hopposai) all go back in time to ancient china with the help of a magic mirror. There they meet hopposai and cologne when they were young(wait till u see cologne) *laughs*. The story doesn't contain that many fight sceen (dont even know if u can consider it that) and personally its not that funny, there are a few sceens there were funny, but nothing compared to the other Ranma series. Although this story does give audience a better look into the past of two of the most powerful character in the series and how they relate to one another, which in my opinion is worth the money :)

This one is one of the best in the Hard Battle series. Back to the Happosai is really funny and you even get a little insight on Happosai and Cologne.

Happy is having a garage sale and he's having no luck selling anything until Shampoo shows up on a delivery to the Tendo dojo with some special ramen for the Tendos. Shampoo offers Happy 10 cents for an antique mirror and then Happy realizrs that it's his Magic Mirror. When a single tear drop from the holder touches the mirror, the holder will go back to the time he most likely wants to be. After a chance of luck, Shampoo, Cologne, Ranma, Akane, Soun and Genma find themselves in Cologne's village... 300 years ago!!!

This one is great and it has one of the funniest lines that I;ve heard so far...
"but Master, we thought you looked like this?"
"You go Tendo!"

Episode, the Tendo Dojo is flat broke and down to nearly nothing. Now it's up to Ranma and Akane to find a way to make the dojo some money. However overhearing this, Sasuke brings the news back to Kodachi and she decides that there is only one thing left to do and that's marry Ranma! Will Koadchia gfet her way and marry her true love or will Akane be able to make Ranma and Genma see the light?

Like I said, great tape, very funny and a lot of laughs. I took off a star for the usual reason whenever I have to hear Kodachi's voice. Seriously, I can deal in the Japanese version slightly better than the English version. That laugh just pierces my ears whenever I hear it. Anyway, still a vwery good tape. Check it out!
