Ranma Nibun no Ichi: The Evil Ogre! Hell Hath No Fury Like Kasumi Scorned (1995)
almost masterpiece
the first part is excellent for me, cause kasumi is my favorite one character, i like the kind of draw design they use in this movie, the story is by far not the best but is very funny, and kasumi looks very cute with horns, in contrast with her personality, i think this film could give kasumi character some of definition around the way she is, the mayor the series, her roll is mostly pheriperical, and sometimes seems "out this world" there was a chapter in the series where we could go a little bit more "inside" her, but i think it was not enough, as we can see at the final credits video of this two episodes film (let me tell you i just get little jealous when i saw it) .
the two akanes, is good also, i could say a bit of "darkness" peeper to change the manner to tell the history, very good as "an akane to remember" the environment they use was hopeful to give the film a bit of formality inside the limits of the funny and silly ranma series.
a piece of gold.
Ranma ½: Kessen Tôgenkyô! Hanayome o torimodose!! (1992)
one of the best!!!
on the line of the series, is a bit (even more) of the endless funny discussions among ranma, akane and ryoga, and the same desire to demonstrate who is best to martial arts kuno, mousse, shampoo etc.. a nice sunny boat trip is turned into a "LOST" like drama when all friends (i mean ALL) came to a desert island and kuno's boat has been destroyed by a storm, all girls in the island become fade of, starting by beauty kasumi, kidnapped by a illusion master's warriors, all but one, (ranma girl!) who's guide the rest of the "rescue team" to the mysterious prison island where the girls are caught, but all girls are in a fashion pretty party in order the illusion master can make a choice of a bride. and guess who was the irreverent winner!!
we can see brand new things, as night dressed nabikki very awesome!, interesting things: the hall fight where tendo, saotome, ranma, mousse, kuno, ryoga and hapossai fight together as a team, and expected things as the same "funny drama" between akane and ranma to express their love themselves where they are into an extreme situation, and after that, "anybody says anything" but they two know it in deep. a film to remember and laugh highly recommended for series's fans
