training hall,"A downtown tokyo dojo where literally anything can happen and
will. When old friend genma saotome comes for a visit with young ranma in tow,
it seems the wedding which will secure the future of the tendo dojo will finally
take place. What no one expected was that due to an unfortunate accident at the
cursed chinese training ground jusenkyo, when ranma and his Formal
Evening Dresses UK father get splashed with cold water, papa turns into
a giant panda and male ranma becomes a buxom young woman!Hot water reverses the
effect, but only until the next time!Constantly chased by battlehappy martial
artists and lovesick suitors of both sexes, what's a halfboy, halfgirl martial
artist to do? Now, the youngest tendo daughter, akane(Who's always claimed
to"Hate boys"Anyway), has been nominated for bridal duty by her older sisters,
while an unruly Ranma(Who never wants to do anything his dad says on general
principle)Must come to grips with the mixed blessing of his/her own appeal.To
both boys and girls! This box set contains the entire original first season of
the series and the first of 7 dvd box sets! The review! Cursed springs that make
life difficult for all involved and anything goes martial arts finally come to
australia for the first season of the fan favourite ranma i watched the show in
the original japanese language and everything sounded fine with no hiss or
dropouts that may come from an old soundtrack.The dub version sounds just a
little bit louder but that is possibly due to that fact that it is newer.The
japanese cast has some rather well known voice actors and they all sound great
it's a shame they are not listed.Similar to the region 1 release there is
interlacing and edge enhancement with some instances more noticeable then others
such as the opening and ending animations.Some people may have a problem with
the songs in the opening and ending being hard subbed as well as all the signs
and episode titles.For a show this old this probably the best we are going to
get and while a little soft it does the job satisfactorily.All the discs are
separated and easy to remove from the packaging.The cover has ranma(Girl type)In
the foreground with akane, pchan, ranma(Boy type)And genma behind on a yellow
background.The oflc while still ugly actually goes okay with all the yellow for
a change.The back cover has a few nice action shots from the show as well as a
large synopsis of what the story is about.All of the disc details are listed in
madman's standard technical grid.Every thing looks great and there is also an
insert with all the chapter listings as well as some nice artwork inside the
cover of kodachi, kuno and ryogathe menu's for each disc is done in a similar
style to the cover with the yellow background and the squiggles.A piece of music
from the show plays in the background and a picture of one of the characters is
shown alongside the menu options.The transfer for these look slightly better but
that may just be me as well the fact that there are no hard subs to annoy.There
is also trailers for other madman releases spread out over each of the discs
Content: (Please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
(more Party
Dresses UK here) Australia's first introduction to ranma was with a few
ova's and 2 movies released back in the 90's on vhs.While some people were
familiar with the whole storyline, they weren't a good starting point for many
as all the characters were already introduced and if you didn't know who was who
and what their characters were like some jokes and references would be lost on
you.Thankfully madman have decided to release the first season of the tv series
that starts at the beginning. Ranma saotome and his father genma saotome go on a
pilgrimage of sorts to become better martial artist and travel throughout china
and japan.In china they come across the cursed junsenkyo springs and while not
actually listening to why it is called a cursed spring they jump right into
training atop bamboo polls sticking out of small pools of water.Of course it
only takes a few minutes for the two to fall into springs and be forever
cursed.Genma now turns into a giant panda when he comes into contact with cold
water and ranma becomes a red haired girl.The effect is quickly reversed by hot
water but it isn't permanent so the next time they touch cold water it's back to
where they started. Genma not wanting to go home with the shame of his son being
a freak and he no better they go to the tendo dojo.The tendo dojo is run by
genma's old friend and fellow student of anything goes martial arts soun tendo,
soun tends to get teary eyed at the drop of a hat and has 3 beautiful daughters
kasumi, nabiki and akane.Kasumi is the oldest of the three and is basically the
mother figure of the house, she cooks and cleans and looks after the
others.Nabiki is the middle child and is rather scheming and into money but not
in a bad way.Akane is the youngest of the three and she is very much a tomboy
who likes martial arts and doesn't seem to like boys.When ranma and his father
appear as a giant panda and a red haired she is thrust into becoming ranma's
fiance thanks to her other two siblings. Of course later on ranma goes for a
bath, akane comes in a little later and seeing as they are both girls has no
problem joining him, of course hot water is involved and this commences the
beginning of one of the most frustrating relationships in anime history.Akane
calls ranma a pervert a lot of the time simply because of what has happened to
him even though it isnt his fault and as far as women go he really is not that
girl crazy.Basicaslly she makes out that everything is always ranma s fault and
she is never in the wrong when most of the time she misunderstands a situation
and flys off the handle.She protests a little too much if you know what i
mean.Ranma is no better, sometimes he shows genuine affection for akane but most
of the time he acts like a jerk and just seems to want to aggravate akane. Ranma
has a very large cast of characters and not all of them are introduced in this
first season.The characters that do appear are ryoga hibiki;The poor martial
artist with the worst sense of direction ever, tatewaki and kodachi kuno:Two
siblings who scheme there way into getting either ranma or akane for themselves
and shampoo;A chinese amazon who hates ranma(Girl type)And is in love with
ranma(Boy type).These characters and their introductions are the main focus of
season one and with them they bring lots of fighting and laughs. Ranma season
one is probably the best season of the show, light entertainment with plenty of
fun moments as well as some hilarious fights, the gymnastic tournament between
ranma(Girl type)And kodachi among them.While the show does follow a rather
predictable formula it doesn't suffer from this as much as it does later on.With
a dash of romance thrown into the mix this is something that is accessible to
everyone, for guys there are the fights and fan Graduation
Dresses 2014 UK service, for girls there is the comedy and the
relationships.
