Ranma ½: Chuugoku Nekonron Daikessen! Okite Yaburi no Gekitou-hen!!

I am putting this out here only because this film seems to have a couple "Not Recommended " and a "Mixed Feelings" at the time of this writing.

The release of this film in the U.S. coincided with Viz Media release of Season 3 and Season 4 of the Ranma 1/2 series. I highly recommend watching this film after Season 5 of the regular series; this gave me the strong impression of where this movie falls within the timeline.

I felt this film was incredibly funny and has the usual Ranma 1/2 tropes. This involves the characters traveling from Japan to Mainland China to pull Akane from ... yet another problem that can only be experienced in this particular Anime. The large cast of Characters that join Ranma always seem to impede him in some way, but he still surmounts the odds to reach his beloved Akane.

The fight scenes are really great. The ending fight feels like the original Bruce Lee's Game of Death with Ranma having to pass a specified number of gates (instead of climbing floors as in "Game of Death"), battling foes until he finally reaches the "Big Bad Guy". Ranma faces the "Baddie" one-on-one and figures out a unique way to defeat the enemy that is signature of this series.

Honestly, what is one hour of your time? I promise you will enjoy this film and have as much as good time as I did along with the regular series.

The most incomprehensible film that I have only seen, you think the introduction is over, but it continues, 70% of the entire film they fly to the Non-Crown and only the remaining 30% there is at least some kind of character activity, while the film runs for only 1.17 hours.
I can't get rid of the feeling when you keep thinking "it's about to start", but it still didn't start the movie ended, and you spent more than an hour of your time, saw a couple of characters whose role boils down to being a massophile and will appear at the right moment, most ... of the time, which as I I emphasize that they are doing something, we see how Kirin eats his vegetables almost all the time, fucks Ranma and tries to please Akana.
Ranma in the film seems to have forgotten about "Roasting chestnuts" and pretty much lost his plot shields, in fact it's good.
The only thing I don't understand is why to make a separate film based on this arch, or whether it's better to make an ova or a special. The author himself, in my opinion, fucked over all this miracle;)

Trust me, you don't want to watch this... The Ranma series is good, but the movies are crap. Having enjoyed the Ranma series from when I was around 8 years old, I really looked forward to the movies after finding out they existed, but they were just lacking in every way. You know the distinct humour and style of the first season of Ranma? Yeah, you won't be finding anything close to it here.

Just some generic brand copy, a movie simply created for the sake of giving a popular series a movie and milking its fans, a heaping pile of shit with pages of ... Ranma manga stapled to its steamy core.
