Good SERIES!!!!!!!!!

Thats one of the words to describe this greatly crafted anime title. Ranma 1/2 is a legendary series that almost every anime fan knows of. It ranks up there as one of my ALL TIME faves along with Sailormoon. This is the last season where the art work is really decent. In season 3 for some strange reason the art work seems a bit on the sloppy side. When this box set was originally released in a bigger box & case it ran for its retail price of 120.00 which is alot of money. You were literally paying 30 bucks per DVD and in my opinion defeats the whole purpose of releasing a box set to push more units and save money. Anyways this is a great season and continues the funny rants & stories of Ranma & Akane. Just to note season 3 is also the last time to enjoy the Ranma's male voice actor. In season 4 they cast a new lead & the shows down right awful in english with the new male cast. He is trying way to hard to sound BUTCH. I thought Sarah Strange who does Ranma's male voice did a great job & made the series quite funny. I got season 2 of this box set in its new slimmer case design from Amazon with free shipping for only $25.99. Now thats a deal. Many years ago if you wanted anime filled with 26 episodes you needed to get ready and shell out alot of dough. This was a total bargain & i am so pleased with my purchase. The lack of 5 stars is from my only complaint, there was some distortion in certain episodes as if the DVD was taken from like an old VHS tape and was then ported straight to DVD. As you know if you constantly rewind & fast foward VHS tapes your eventually gonna wear out the film & it gets a bit sloppy where it seems like its going up and down at times. There were only a few instances where this happened & it only lasted a second or 2. Not a big deal, but at this point with this being the 2nd re-release of the box set you'd think they have it PERFECT by now. Enjoy =)

This season of Ranma 1/2 has some of the best storylines of the manga. The Breaking Point, The Ice Skating Fight, and the whole plot with Shampoo's Grand Mother.

This season gets 4 stars because this season is where all character development stops (Just like in the manga). This is the season where they start thinking of strange plots and add characters to the plot just to have them there. Personally I think they should have dropped all the one episode plot lines out the window and kept the arc's going.

3/4 of the season is just great! When you get to the tail end starting with the "Spring of drowned man in Japan" eps you know the bad episodes are coming.

Buy it now. It's worth it.

The 2nd Season of Rumiko Takahashi's beloved series "Ranma 1/2" is filled with plenty of action. New characters join the series in this season. Shampoo returns from China. With Shampoo is her great grandmother, a master in martial arts dating back from 3000 years of Chinese Amazon History. Shampoo's suitor, Mousse, follows her from China and bears a grudge against Ranma Saotome. It appears that Shampoo is Ranma's new fiancee according to Amazon Tribal Law. The last character to join this season is myself - a perverted old man who steals ladies underwear and has a thing for female bodies, esp. female Ranma. I am also the master of the School of Anything Goes with Soun Tendo, Genma Saotome, and Ranma Saotome as my disciples.
In this season we learn that Akane can't cook, Ryoga and Ranma both learn a new technique, and Ranma will do anything to become a whole man again. Ranma weakness is shown.

If you love comics and martial arts, it makes a great fighting in comedy show.It's the original sonic in amy or sonic in knuckles all ways geting and a fight, but as you know sonic don't always when against amy,so if you know what I'm talking about, you'll love this show like I do!

Ranma 1/2 Anything-Goes Martial Arts is the second season DVD set for Ranma 1/2, and the set includes twenty-two episodes. The first two discs contain five episodes each, while the remaining three have four episodes. The fifth disc is the only one to include any special features.

There are five special features included on the set: "Textless Opening," "Textless End Credits," "Cast List," and "Actor Profiles." The textless opening and end credits are simply the credits without the text. The line art gallery includes several pages of production sketches of the characters. The cast list features the English and Japanese voice actors for each character. The English voice actors have links to selected filmographies. The actor profiles contain the exact same filmographies that are available in the cast list.

This is a rather "low frills" DVD box set, but it does have more in the way of special features than the first season DVD box set had. I applaud them for putting the cast list and filmographies on the set, but I do wish they could have tracked down some of the voice actors and interviewed them to have more in the way of extras.

While the price for this set may be a little high for what you get, the episodes alone are worth the price you pay. This set should really be in any Ranma 1/2 fan's DVD collection.

this is my fav season so bifar its so funny and has multi episode arcs and i loved every episode of this so it you love ranma i would get this Five Stars!

I just bought the second and third season of Ranma 1/2 and I'm now trying to wait patiently for the rest of the seasons to come out in the thinkpack sets.To many fans of the show who haven't gotten the sets yet I say get them now the pros are great price,you get both english and japanese audio,and the thinpacks help solve space problems on the shelf.The cons are the video quality of the set while ok is still not all that great from time to time when scenes skip you'll see a white line on the top or bottom of the picture
many of the anime dvd's in the 90's have this it looks like it was recorded from tape to dvd sometimes.So unlike Inuyasha the video while for the most part clear well still have some faults.If you're just checking out this series the basic storyline is you have Ranma a martial artist who while training with his father in China stumbles across an area of cursed pools each one with a different curse While his father and
Ranma are doing some acrobatic martial arts they each fall into a cursed pool Ranma's father who turns into a panda when doused with cold water and Ranma turns into a girl the same way.Most of the series deals with Ranma trying to find a cure for this unusual problem and dealing with a tomboyish fiancee who his father had betrothed him to.The series has some drama but for a lot of the show it's very comedic and light and story
plot.So I say if you like Inuyasha get this series while you can I believe that you'll not regret it...
