Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

It's not easy being a teenaged martial artist named Ranma Saotome, but it's even worse when your martial artist father Genma takes you from home at an early age to go on a decade-long training mission. He doesn't speak a work of Chinese, and yet he insists on bringing you to the cursed training ground known as Jusenkyo, where falling into one of the many springs instantly turns you into whoever - or whatever - drowned there last. And then the two of you have this little accident...

From now on, a splash of cold water will turn your father into a giant panda while you...well, you turn into a red-haired (and incredibly well-built) female version of yourself. Hot water will reverse the effect, but only until the next time. What's half-guy, half-girl to do?

A chance encounter at the local rink with the infamous "Golden Pair" of the high-school skating world turns into double trouble for Tanma and his reluctant Fiancie, Akane! Tantrum-throwing Azusa, a girl who goes gaga for anything "cute", falls head over heels for a certain widdle bwack piggy.

This review is from: Ranma 1/2 - Anything Goes Martial Arts, Vol.1: Darling Charlotte [VHS] (VHS Tape)

this is my first Ranma 1/2 video, and I love it! I feel so sorry for Ranma when he/she gets kissed. Anyway, here's what happens: A girl named Azusa from a famous Martial Arts Figure Skating Team takes P-chan. Akane tries to get P-chan back and is challenged to a figure skating competion for P-chan by Azusa. Azusa's partner tries to kiss Akane, and Ranma gets mad and challenges him. So, while Akane is trying to teach (girl) Ranma to skate, Ranma gets kissed by Azusa's partner, leaving him really mad and so forth. It's a reall y good tape, and I could go on about it forever, but I'll leave the ending a mystery. :)

In Darling Charlotte, PChan (Ryoga) gets kidnapped by a ditz... you know we all hate them, heheh... and Ranma (reluctantly) and Akane must save him in a skating match! Pervertedly funny, this is my kinda stuff!
