Product Description
Studio: Viz Media Llc Release Date: 04/09/2002

Amazon.com
This set of 22 episodes constitutes the second broadcast season of Rumiko Takahashi's gender-tweaking slapstick comedy. The many combat scenes are executed in slightly fuller animation than in the OAVs, and there's a little more nudity in the bath scenes, including a shot of Ryoga's bare buns. But the freewheeling mixture of mayhem, metamorphoses, and martial arts continues--with just a touch of sentiment to leaven the insanity. When Ranma and Akane have a run-in with a pair of champion figure skaters, they reduce the rink to a wading pool, with a little help from the geographically challenged Ryoga. Shampoo the Chinese Amazon returns with her wizened Great-Grandmother Cologne, who teaches the cast a variety of ancient fighting techniques. Ranma and Ryoga battle kendo champion and gasbag Kuno, his twisted sister Kodachi, ninja Sasuke, and Happosi in their frantic search for a Japanese Nan'niichuan (Enchanted Drowned Man Spring)--only to discover it's a franchise that's gone out of business. Even the redoubtable Ranma has a weakness: he's afraid of cats. But he breaks through his fear and demonstrates his mastery of the recherche technique of "Cat-Fu." Ranma often acts like a jerk, but he assuages Akane's hurt feelings by eating the cookies she baked, even though he knows ptomaine will follow. At a time when many American animated series are imitating live action, Ranma 1/2 is a zany reminder of the special fun only animation can provide. Unrated; suitable for ages 12 and up: Slapstick violence, nudity, mildly risque humor. --Charles Solomon

After some research, i collected this info for the Second Season DVD boxed set, which you'll find even more entertaining than the first season. This is what you may expect in the 2 DVD set:

"Darling Charlotte"
>Episodes: The Abduction Of P-Chan & Close Call! The Dance Of Death...On Ice
>P-Chan gets abducted and in order to get him back, Akane and Ranma needs to win a martial arts figure skating competition.

"Its fast, or its free"
>Episodes: P-Chan Explodes! The Icy Fountain Of Love Clash Of The Delivery Girls! & Clash Of The Delivery Girls! The Martial Arts Takeout Race

"Cat-Fu Fighting"
>Episodes: You Really Do Hate Cats! & This Old Gal's The Elader Of The Amazon Tribe!
>Find about Ranma's secret weakness & the "Cat Fist" martial arts technique

"Chestnuts on an Open Fire"
>Episodes: Behold! The Chestnut Roasting On An Open Fire Technique & Enter Mousse! The Fist of the White Swan
>Meet Mousse and see Ranma fighting him for the very first time. [Thanks to Cologne, Ranma is stuck in his girl persona, btw]

"Cold Competition"
>Episodes: Cool Runnings! & The Race Of The Snowmen Danger At The Tendo Dojo!
>Ranma enters a race to win the Phoenix Pill that will cure him from not being able to turned back to his boy persona; also...find about the Dojo Destroyer.

"Breaking Point"

>Ryoga is trained by Cologne in the Breaking Point technique in order to become a match for Ranma.

"Fowl Play"
>Episodes: The Abduction Of Akane & Ranma vs. Mousse: To Lose Is To Win
>Mousse kidnaps Akane in order to confront Ranma, who needs to prevent Mousse to convert Akane into a duck.

"The Evil Wakes"
>Episodes: Enter Happosai, The Lustful Lecher & Assault On The Girl's Locker Room
>Meet Happosai, Soun's and Genma's perverted and most powerful master.

"Goodbye Girl-Type"
>Episodes: House Of Gadgets! Guests Check In, But They Don't Check Out & Goodbye girl-type
>Three urns hidden in strange places, that need to get reunited in order to cure the Jusenkyo curse.

"Tough Cookies"
>Episodes: It's A Fine Line Between Pleasure And Pain & S.O.S.! The Wrath Of Happosai!
>Ranma, eating Akane's cookies???

"Ranma and Juliet"
>Episodes: Kissing Is Such Sweet Sorrow! The Taking Of Akane's Lips & Bathhouse Battle! We're In Some Hot Water Now
>Juliet played by Akane and Romeo played by ... Then, without hot water at the Tendo's, everyone visits the public bathhouse, without knowing that Happosai will be on sight.

This is your chance to meet new characters and see how the old ones get faster, stronger or maybe just keep falling in love.


5 out of 5 stars MUSABESU KAKUTO RANMA NIBUN NO ICHI!!   April 13, 2002

Ranma 1/2 never looked better. The transition to DVD is now at its fullest. The original video masters from KITTY TV were used, ensuring the highest animation quality possible. However it is not perfect. There is some level of graininess, and line inconsistency, also their is some color bleeding, especially in the intro.

But, the consistency of the animation, far makes up for this. Unlike the first boxed set, the animation is high quality on every single episode. The outlining is crisp and the colors are vivid and distinct. I've never seen Ranma 1/2 look so good.

This is a must buy for all Ranma 1/2 fans. The pacing of the story has quickened in the second season. Takahashi's characters are now fully developed. And my look how they shine! You'll love it. And you'll be begging to see the next season.
