Editorial Reviews

For poor Ranma Saotome even a normal day is unbelievable strange. Due to an accident at a cursed Chinese training ground, when martial artists Ranma and his father Genma get splashed with cold water, dad turns into a giant panda, and male Ranma becomes a buxom young girl. In this sexth season of adventures on the comics we are introduced to Gosunkugi, Ranma & Akane’s morose classmate; Pantyhose Taro, a truly tragic victim of the cursed springs of Jusenkyo; A love story between Ranma and a drawing of a Panda; and much more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ranma 1/2 is still going strong as ever!, March 16, 2004

This review is from: Ranma 1/2 TV Anime: Season 6 - Random Rhapsody DVD Box Set (DVD)

I got Ranma 1/2 season 6 for Christmas and I was definitely not disappointed at all with this season. The animation was great and the voice acting was still good (I mostly hear the english dub). When I had bought the comics of Ranma 1/2, there were a lot of funny stories that I was hoping would get animated, and to my pleasure, I heard that the sixth season had the stories in my comics animated; so I was super excited about seeing my favoirte manga stories animated in front of my eyes. One of my favorites was "Gosunkugi's Paper Dolls of Love", it was hiliarious, at least to me it was. Still the season starts out slow and then really kicks it into high gear. Here are my reviews for each episode on a scale of 1-10.

5.0 out of 5 stars I named my Kool-aid after this series!, October 30, 2003

This review is from: Ranma 1/2 TV Anime: Season 6 - Random Rhapsody DVD Box Set (DVD)

Unlike the other episodes in this series, this was the first season I saw where Akane and Ranma actually got along...for the most part. The episodes in this are definitely random. There are two, 2-part episodes, but the rest are clearly undefined amoungst one another.

The episodes are more based upon Akane and Ranma, as Ryoga, Ukyo, and Shampoo really didn't have much screen time (and I was hoping for Ryoga and Ukyo!). Of course, this isn't a bad thing. Some of the episodes are great, while others are "okay, that was dumb." But even those "dumb" ones are funny.

Akane and Ranma actually get along in a few episodes, something I was waiting SOOO long to see! Kuno makes more appearences than usual, being in about every other episode....but he is quite the character when he does! Definitely not eh serious Blue Thunder of FH as he was in the first season!

The last disk is the only one with special features, and they aren't too amazing. Just similar features other DVDs would have.

Some episodes are funny, while a few are just beautiful (cry). I recommend this for any fan. It isn't the most cohesive season, but it is definitely entertaining!

(Oh, and th eKool-aid we drank while watching it was an orange powder that turned green in water and tasted like strawberries. We call it Random Rhapsody now. Yeah!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Good season for all Ranma lovers!, September 21, 2003

This review is from: Ranma 1/2 TV Anime: Season 6 - Random Rhapsody DVD Box Set (DVD)

Although this season doesn't quite come close to the first season, it is a very funny one. It is way better than season 5 because of taro and hikaru, characters from the manga, coming in.

This season is perfect for all ranma collectors, although the newer peoplewill want to start from the beginning and work your way up here. Although there isn't as much character development as in the manga, ranma 1/2 season six will make you laugh again and again.
