Ryoga joins the cast, and he wants Ranma dead. Why, well, that isn't revealed until the next video, but we do get a pretty good fight scene between the two rivals. Not as humorous, but some scenes are really funny(like the Chem Club parts, which were original to the story). But, once again, the writers overkill on the negative aspects of Ranma and Akane. Also, Venus Terzo joins the cast as Girl-type Ranma, replacing whoever did her voice for the first six episodes and first two OVAs. It's pretty obvious that she's new for the series, but she does a pretty good starting job.

This is another great tape in the Ranma saga and it introduces another great main character to the series. It's a lot of laughs, a lot of fun and of course the 1st episode with Ranma's new girl side voice.

Episode 1, Enter Ryoga. After travelling many miles, around the countryside and inner cities of Japan, a young man of Ranma's past comes looking for him. Ryoga Hibiki is his name and revenge is his game. Seriously, I don't care what anyone says Ryoga is raw! And this episode is a classic! A lot of Ryoga's story is told in this one and also some really great laughs.

Episode 2, after "accidentily" getting lost while fighting Ranma, Ryoga finds his way back to Furinkan again. And now the fight of a lifetime is at hand because Ryoga demands revenge on Ranma and this time he'll make sure that Ranma doesn't "run away". But Ranma has to be twice as careful as usual because the combined might of the Furinkan Chem Club has their own plans as well

"lose Ranma, lose Ranma, lose Ranma, lose Ranma"

Again, another great volume in the TV series. Like I always tell people if you really want to get into Ranma, the TV series is the best starting point because it tells all and it's really great. Seriously, I can only think of one tape that I don't like as much (TV Series 3). Anyway, definately get this one. And don't forget to pick the continuation of the Ranma and Ryogas saga in TV Series 5. Enjoy!

"Furinkan KoKo wa, doko da???!!" Learn Japanese if you don't know!

Set in China, there is a teenage boy named Ranma who falls upon an ancient curse where whenever he comes in contact with cold water he turns into a girl! This volume showcasing the best of the tv series really shows what made this such a popular title in Japan. This a comedy that will have you laughing, but be aware that some parts are not suitable for little kids. Ryoga, Ranma's rival from childhood comes to Ranma's town and challenges Ranma to a battle. I won't tell you how it ends, but be warned Ryoga has a problem with his sense of direction... If you're looking for an anime just meant to make you laugh until you hurt, but still have an intriguing storyline to keep you watching, this is the video for you.

If you want to know why Akane wears her hair short then pick up this volume. In this tape we are introduced to another main character that goes by the name of Ryoga "where am I now?" Hibiki. Ryoga comes to Tokyo to get revenge against Ranma for destroying his life. This tape is one of my favorites in the series. The animation is pretty good especially during the fight scene between Ranma and Ryoga. This tape has mild language and brief nudity.
