I liked this movie actually, but the end battle was kind of corny. The "Its Love" song during the credits, oh my gosh! I heard it when I was little and I searched all over for it, I'm so glad I found it ^o^

The one thing i'll say about it is the fact that Akane was just useless during this, She was kidnapped, her family and friends beaten and held captive and she still was nice to her captor and then was willing to go through with the wedding...

Not a bad movie.
I especially liked seeing Jasmine beat Happosai.

Lol, the TV series without Ukyo and Shampoo and even Kodachi would have been a masterpiece, those girls ruined it.
And the prince wasn't a bad guy at all, Ranma is stupid anyway, he doesn't deserve to be with Akane.

yea i really hate that bitch akane not only is she useless everyone came to save her yet she was nice to the one who hurt her friends and she was ok with the wedding because ranma said the truth that her cooking if that poison can be called food will kill them and i hate how even after all this time she believes ranma is a pervert who is interested in her underwear come on bitch you've been with him for so long you should know he is not like that. I really can't understand why ranma loves this annoying useless woman i fucking hate her. he should had choosen either shampoo or ukyo even kodachi is a better choice than that stupid akane . Akane doesnt deserve ranma she ruins the show !!!! and i really hate how men fall in love with her for no reason or if they have a reason it is total bullshit she is not even pretty she is not strong and she cant even cookso why fall in love with her?? i can understand why ryoga loves her and his love for her is not annoying but the rest including ranma have no reason to love her

It's always fun when all the characters are coming together in the most contrived way imagineable.

heh i forgot about this character https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ranma_%C2%BD_characters#Tsubasa_Kurenai He was funny shift shaping into that billboard!

Er.. even if Lychee got it, why would she marry a jerk monarch that speaks in a snobbish class conscious and only eats pickled vegetables? maybe she didn't figure it out yet but seems shallow of her, only suffering awaits her chained to that piece of crap martial artist! xD

Pretty standard movie with a "damsel in distress" plot. At least the Ranma characters made it a bit more fun.

I watched the Blu-ray version of the movie. I hate how Blu-ray editions of these old movies force a 16:9 aspect ratio. It looks terrible zoomed in. The movie's meant to be seen in 4:3 like the TV series, not this abomination.

Anyways, a good movie, I guess. A lot of things don't make sense, like how Ranma got a hot spring running inside the pagoda in the final fight, but that's just the series in general. I loved how Happosai got an excellent beating throughout.

Akane gets a lot of unnecessary hate but in this movie, she honestly acted like a hoe. Why in the world did she agree to marry that chump? Sure Ranma can be insufferable but that doesn't mean she has to get together with her kidnapper!

I would've liked to see more Ukyo and Shampoo though I don't believe they're as good as Akane.

This Lychee bitch really pissed me off. Shouldn't have thrown the fucking scroll like an idiot. Also hate how Lychee and the Prince still got together in the end, despite being a rude asshole to her in the beginning. Why the fuck would you still be interested in an idiot like him after all that? Because he's a prince? Because that's all she cares about? Lychee was a fucking useless character. Why should anything good happen to her? Why should a bitch like her be rewarded? She isn't anyone special afaik, and she had been acting like a brat the entire movie. She doesn't acknowledge the fact that she was the one who threw the scroll, and she kept kicking the other characters off her boat, who were trying to save Akane. How did she get a happy ending after all that? From what I've seen, she doesn't deserve a happy ending. Akane was pretty annoying too, being all nice to the person who kidnapped her! And she was even about to marry him! wtf! You barely even know him!

Also, fuck you Ranma for calling that guy a shrimp. Of course this movie made the main character be a dickhead who makes fun of people's heights. Not cool. Thank God this isn't canon. Because this is one of the most infuriating anime movies I've ever seen.

... I think I might have watched this? Like really, I am pretty damn sure I watched this, because I know I watched the main series, and all of the OVAs, and even the fucking live action special, so there's no way I skipped it. Then again, I didn't even remember marketing material for this existing in the US, until somebody (KaiserBeamz) specifically mentioned that they were advertisements that would play on various Pokémon VHS cassettes at the absolute end of each tape. I guess this movie was just that unimpactful for me.πŸ˜‘

It was ok, not a good Ranma movie though. Seemed like they were trying to parody battle shounens but it just didn't work out as the story wasn't interesting enough. Would've been better off if they ran with the idea of Akane's cooking being good and she changed the Nekonron's rules/way of life, and Akane agreeing to marry Kirin because he appreciated it (and make Ranma jealous). But they threw all that out in a flash for nothing worthwhile.

7/10

Kirin really held the same bowl of rice for several days and including underwater. A man dedicated to his only food source of rice and pickled veggies. The movie was ok. I liked the intro gag of everyone running through town.

@LoneTrain absolutely, can't understand how dumb everyone else is that says otherwise.

akane is the worst female creature in perhaps the whole history of anime

Pretty good for the first Ranma 1/2 movie, I hate to admit it didn’t quite reach the heights of any of the Urusei Yatsura movies imo but it was still a lot of fun, really it felt like a long episode with movie budget which I’m a fan of. First off, I really liked the ost for the movie, there were definitely a handful of tracks that stood out to me, glad that they never seem to miss on ost in these classic anime, the ending credits song was also great early 90s/80s rock, love it. And I also really liked the backgrounds for most of the movie, being used to the less detailed backgrounds in the main show really made them stand out here, lots of beautiful art there.

And when it comes to the plot of this one, it was nothing too crazy, it’s the typical damsel in distress plot featuring some new villains, as well as the resident movie waifu with Lychee who I thought was cute, but she unfortunately didn’t do much in this movie lol, she pretty much just caused all this by not holding on to her part of the scroll and didn’t really do much cool stuff with her elephant beyond the start of the movie, and then she somehow ended up with Kirin at the end despite him being disinterested in her for the majority of the movie, yeah she was a bit of a weak character but I liked her lol. The villains tho were pretty interesting, unique designs and attacks for each of them, including that hot blue haired babe, but most of their fights were short lived or just jokes so they were unfortunately underused, even Kirin’s final fight with Ranma wasn’t that great but I did like the final moments in the swirling water vortex. And I’m seeing a lot of complaints about Akane in this movie, yeah she wasn’t the brightest here but the whole thing with her agreeing to marry Kirin was because she believed Ranma would save her, I don’t really think that was her being a bitch lol. Also yeah it would have been nice if Ukyo could have made the main cast of the movie but she did at least have her part in that grand chase at the start of the movie which was a lot of fun, including lots of side character cameos like Tsubasa who I hope reappears in the show eventually.

And before this post gets too long, I’ll stop here lol, but yeah despite my complaints I did like this movie quite a bit, it was simple fun, and there’s just one more movie that aired within the main show’s runtime so I’m definitely looking forward to it, as well as what the rest of the anime has to offer, the remake also comes out very soon at the time I’m typing this so that should be fun as well.
