There are definitely times where I ship Akane and Ryouga.

Good stuff in this OVA, kinda makes me want to rewatch the whole series again.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

As a pause from watching the regular series in its entirety for the third or fourth time, i saw this OVA today because it was the most interesting according to the plot and i remember almost nothing from all the other ones, because in italy they exist on VHS only and have been broadcast probably just once by Mtv in the spring of 2002 (in fact i remembered the one with the shrinking teacher).


This was enjoyable, and the two sisters were likable additions (expecially the younger one). Kinda expected that Happosai could have been behind all of the story even if he appeared only at the very final minutes

Did they run out of budget in the end? The last fight scenes and the ending scenes were pretty much stills with no animation.

Shampoo and Ukyo might act good but they almost always have ulterior motives. I think only Akane is selfless unlike most of the other girls in the series.

Wait, Happosai was the "father"?! Ig the flashback was a red herring. Nice twist even though it makes no sense.

Wish Ranma and Akane properly made up in the end.

Sad the OVAs are over. There are still Movie 3, 2 Specials, Ranma 1/2 Super and the 2008 OVA left to watch though.

I really loved the OP and ED of the OVA. Fun fact, the OVA OP "Koi da!! Panikku" was sung by Yoko Takahashi, the same singer who did A Cruel Angel's Thesis. She also did the TV series ED6 "Friends". She used the alias YAWMIN and these two songs were probably her earliest works.

I would say I enjoy the OVAs a lot more than I thought. The 2 eps arc is entertaining and definitely the best one out of all OVAs. Akane is still a bit annoying same as how Ranma treat her.  Overall the OVAs are really good compared to its TV series.

2-part filler episodes is how they end this OVA. As crazy as this might sound, but I liked these 6 OVA episodes more than the TV show. It didn't show girl Ranma's nipples, which is a plus for me, and it showed Shampoo's nipples, which is another plus for me. The manga just kept showing girl Ranma's nipples, which was annoying because the character is actually a guy, so it's not hot.

Still weird that only 3 episodes are canon, and the other 3 are filler. A bit of a shame that only the 3 episodes of the OVA are canon, especially when I skipped all the filler episodes of the TV show.

Just waiting for October to come, so I can watch the Ranma 1/2 (2024) remake. I watch the Ranma 1/2: Yomigaeru Kioku OVA someday. Don't know when. I've already read the events in the manga. So probably sometime after I finish reading the manga.
