We've watched six of the seven seasons so far, and I have to say that Ranma is one of our all time favorites. My ex wife actually introduced me to this Anime a long time ago, and my ten year old daughter fell in love with it. As a parent, I will caution that there is some brief nudity through the series, but not enough to make me worry about it. Most of it was done for comedic effect, more than anything else. Even my mother likes this one, which is saying a lot. I like the fact that it has slapstick humor as well as higher level comedic moments. There's nothing in this serious that worries me as a parent, but I would suggest you watch a few episodes yourself and make up your mind.

There really isn't any overlying story line, most of the episodes stand alone but there are a few stories that take more than one episode to tell. I'm going to buy season 7 next and all the movies to complete our collection.

Ranme is kid animation well liked by teenage and Adult. It can be silly,funny;but it's warm, caring and romanic. Many people would give this Japanese TV series a "R"rating because of the nudity,in the japanese culture this is anormal show being watch by kids all over japan. PG-13 is the correct rating for this show. You will enjoy it.

Ranma 1/2 Random Rhapsody is a DVD box set of the sixth season of Ranma 1/2. This set contains a total of twenty-four episodes. The first four discs contain five episodes, while the fifth disc contains four episodes and the special features.

There are six special features on this set: "Line Art Gallery," "Textless Opening," "Textless Ending," "Cast List," "Actor Profiles," and "Maison Ikkloku Trailer." As expected, the textless opening and ending are just the opening and ending credits without the text. The line art gallery contains eighteen pages of model sketches of the characters that appear in this DVD box set. The cast list is a list of the English and Japanese voice actors for each character. The actor profiles are selected filmographies for the English voice actors. The "Maison Ikkoku Trailer" is a trailer for the Maison Ikkoku DVD box sets that were released by Viz Media.

Ranma 1/2 Random Rhapsody is a rather "low frills" DVD set. While the special features are better than what appeared on the first Ranma 1/2 DVD box set, I wish more of an effort had been made with the special features.

While this set could be considered a little high-priced for what you get, the episodes are worth the cost. This series is very enjoyable for an older audience (16 and up), and really should be in an anime fan's DVD collection.

As long as you don't expect plot and great story you will find yourself enjoying the Ranma 1/2 series. I find myself watching them when I just want to relax and smile. It is an easy series to sit down and watch an episode or two.

All I can say to Ranma fans is that even though the set price is reasonable
and the series is still funny and great as well Viz still has not truly done anything that much with the video format. If you read my review for seasons one and two you will see that the video still shows sign that it looks liked they recorded this season from their tape collection. I'm not saying that the video is extremely bad or anything but you will see some graininess
on the top and bottom of the scene shots. But again for the price you are getting for this all in all I still say it's not to bad of a deal. So all I
can say and pray for is that they do at least a better job with the final season before releasing it...
