It's just another day at the Tendo Anything-Goes Martial Arts Training Hall - that is, until a strange girl named Lychee and her giant elephant Jasmine arrive to settle a score with lecherous martial arts master Happosai. Apparently, a very long time ago, Happosai gave Lychee's great-grandmother half of a legendary scroll guaranteed to bring happiness to whoever was holding it. The women of Lychee's family have been waiting for three generations now, and the prince STILL hasen't come - but of course, the moment Lychee lets the scroll out of her hands, the prince finally appears. Only now it's Ranma's reluctant fiancée Akane that's holding the scroll, and the long-awaited prince is only too ready to sweep his lucky bride off her feet. Now Ranma & Co. have no choice but to follow Prince Kirin's majestic flying barge all the way to Nekonron, China, where they find themselves in a showdown with the Seven Lucky Gods of martial arts!

This is the very first DVD that I bought, and I was no where near dissapointed. Pioneer has THE BEST production of any DVD that I've seen. Pioneer Anime DVD's are what I compare every thing else to. The transfer quality is great, they have great extras, trailers, English & Japanese Soundtracks & Subtitles, and typically a whole bunch of neat tidbits about the film. These are what DVD's are supposed to be!

With that aside, This is a pretty good movie if you haven't seen the Ranma 1/2 TV Series, (This was actually the first Ranma that I had seen) but if you've seen the series, then the movie will definately have much more meaning for you. I can highly recommend this one to anyone. Hell, even my two neices like watching it... "Can we finish watchin that Ramma movie now?" They're so kawaii.
