Which Movie Was Better?

[Keitaro]

Which Ranma movie was your favorite and why? Favorite bad guy? Favorite henchman? Favorite song in the movie? Etc.



Nihao, My Concubine because of the butt-whuppin' that Mousse gave that bird guy and the shots of Nabiki!

[Rika]

I liked Nihao My Concubine better, also. That scene with Mousse was really cool and I liked Toma better then Kirin. I liked the ending theme from that movie better, too.

[LP]

Nihao my concubine 'cus lots of cute girls. And girl-type ranma, man! what a babe! :inlove: :naughty:

that is all. :)

[Rika]

That's all, huh? Oh well. :heh:

[Asuza_chan]

:bawling: WAHHHH! I've never gotten to see the movies! I'm so bummed now, cuz they sound good.

[Yuusuke]

Asuza-chan, if you get a chance, definately see the movies, they're pretty good ^_^;;

Anyways. . . my favorite Ranma movie'd be the third one, if you count it, some reason. . . even if it was pointless, I really liked it. :) And. . . favorite characters from the movies would be Kirin, Monlon, and Sarutaro, all for various reasons. . .

[Rika]

Yeah, the third movie was pretty funny. You do mean with the Phoenix, right?

[Yuusuke]

Yup, the Phoenix movie ^_^;;

[Rika]

Yep! Kuno had an overgrown flying chicken on his head through the whole thing! :lol:

[Keitaro]

What?!?! Rika, you like that "Piece of Love" song better than "It's Love"?? That song might as well be canned immediately!!! Come on, it starts out with a Barry White ripoff saying "The rhythm." How dumb is that? Rrrrr. anyway, I liked Kirin better than Toma, but Kirin's henchman sucked.

Hey, isn't that Kuno/Phoenix thing part of the OAV series? It's in the OAV box set that I have and it has the theme song accordingly. I dunno?

[Rika]

Well, I never listened to Barry White, so, I guess it doesn't bother me! :B:

But, now that I think about it, I guess I really like both songs about the same.

Yes, the phoenix episode was released with the OAV series when it was released in the US, but, it really is more of a short film. If you look at it, you'll see that it's letterboxed, like most of the anime movies released here on video.

[Keitaro]

I never noticed that, Ms. Rika. That's kind of wierd...:goof:

[Nairohe]

What's wrong with "Piece of Love?" hehehe... It does sound a little bit off for RAnma... hehehe...

i like Nihao my concubine too. I love that fight scene between Mousse and birdman... he and Shampoo are sooo cuuute!

[Kiyone]

I like Nihao My Concubine as well :)

What's so weird about it?

[Tristan9480]

I like the first movie because of its humor.
I like the second one because of its better main anime and drawing style.

I like the movies about equally.

[Ura]

I'm sure I replied to this but my post could have been Deleted. Anyway I like the first more, it was funnier to me. Happousai is generally my fav character, but the second one has Ukyo.. I CANT decide.

[psycnarf]

The 1sr was funnier but I find the 2nd movie more action packed

[KAS]

I like the second movie best. I saw it with the Japenese speaking(subtitles, of course), I support that with Nabiki's dress and Ukyo's swimsuit.

[mangaluver]

I liked the second one better too. cuz I love where Shampoo runs to Mousse, it shows that she really does care about him, which is sweet :)

[fireguy]

I like all the ranma 1/2 movies equally. :D

[KAS]

I haven't seen the third one yet, is it worth going thru hell to get it?

[Rika]

Sure it is! :B:

[KAS]

Alright, I'll get it then. Thanx

[Emizzon]

I like Nihao My Concubine. I like the fact that is shows Shampoo does care for Moose and that even though through out the series he protects her, but when Ranma destroyed the cure for his transformations to save Akane's life, it proves without words that he loves her.

[Neokero99]

I didn't know that... isn't that one of the OAVs? Tell me about that movie when you can... can you? I really want to know that!

In my opinion... I really like the 2nd movie. Why?
The action secuences were just GREAT! The backround music and the ending theme were cool! (I also have the final battle between Toma and Ranma recorded in audio tape). The babes were... SEXY THAN EVER! specially Ranma and Ukyo.. WOW! and the last part was just great (Ranma sending this great energy blow to save his love).

I really love Ranma 1/2... I one of my faves!

[Apocilypse]

i havn't seen the third one but out of the first two, i liked the first one better becasue it was the one that seemed more Final Fantasy type.

[chasta]

I can't decide which one I like better. I have both and watched them both the other day. While I like both "It's Love" and "Piece of Love," I think "It's Love" is better.

Did you notice that both movies are about bride-napping??? What's with that, anyway? Oh well, they're good at any rate.

[WierdIsraeli]

definitly the 2nd movie .....hmmmm why you ask??

just because the animation was better and when you throw a group of wackos like the one in ranma ....well you know something will happen

[Maccy99]

I like the second movie better. The action was better to me and my favorite seen was when Ryoga used his energy blast to save Ukyo and they walked off together. They're my two favorite characters.:B: As for the songs I thought that peice of love was better. I thought it was a funner:confused: song than It's Love even though I like them both.

Well since I havn't seen very many of the movies I don't really have a very big comment, I've only seen the first 2. Well their both good! I can't really compare them but... I prefer the second one because there's more of a hilarious twist in it! Since the sping of drown man was there does that mean they were in China?

[mahal44]

I've only seen nihao and i thought it was good...so now i 'm planning to get the rest of the movies.

[])r/-\g()n]

Well, I havn't heard anything about the third movie, but if there is it's probably an OAV but it's still good and I'd still want to see it

[Yuusuke]

Yeah, the third movie is being released by Viz as an OAV, I believe they called it "One Grew Over the Kunou's Nest" . . ^^;;

's really quite funny, and great animation, of course. . . kind'a short, but tha's 'cause it's not really a full-length movie. .

[])r/-\g()n]

well another movie I gotta buy, the anime is funny, cool and empties my pocket

[Ko Hakaisha]

Empties my pocket is right! ^^ [no cash now ... :(]

I'm tryin' to get my hands on the movies and OAVs, now!

[Yuusuke]

Hehh, movies and OAVs. . y'know, Ko. . if I had two VCRs, 'd love to. . *blinkblink* 'Erm. . I mean. . hope 'ya can get lots'a money saved up soon. . buy more Slayers and Ranma. . !!! ^_^; Oh, and Eva. . of course. .

[Ko Hakaisha]

[pulls out pockets-- only to reveal pocket lint]

'D love to, Yuusuke, but I can't! O.o 'Sides, I have other stuff to buy, like Wallscrolls 'n t-shirts 'n stuff! ^^

[Yuusuke]

Yeah, but. . between Slayers, Eva, an' Ranma. . why would'ja want'a buy anything else. . ? ^^;;;

[Ko Hakaisha]

I'd like to buy wallscrolls and t-shirts and stuff OF those things!! ^^

[Yuusuke]

Ooh, I see. . still, between a Ranma 1/2 wallscroll or tape. . I've probably pick th' wallscroll . . *blinkblink* I mean. . umm. . tape. . really. . ^^;;;

[Ko Hakaisha]

[blink] But I can get a wallscroll, too! Dah, th' torture of it all ... ! Really is quite a struggle for me ... [thinkthink] I'm afraid I'll hafta get a job. O.o

[Yuusuke]

Job. . *sigh* I'll need one'a those. . AWA. . ;_;

'Erm. . *koffcoff* This is kind'a off-topic, so. . Well, back to a topic. . Kirin and th' other Lucky God Martial Artists from the first movie ruled. . ! *squeak* . . ^^;;;

[Ko Hakaisha]

A friend of mine said that he thought the first movie sucked. O.o

[Yuusuke]

Well, it was kind'a like a Mortal Kombat game. . I mean. . up each level until you reach th' boss. . but still, I kind'a liked it ^_^;;

Mainly. th' comedy with Kirin and Akane.

"Pickles. . I need pickles" . . 'twas Kirin's comment after Akane forced her cooking at him ^^;

[Ko Hakaisha]

Heh. That's right. Mortal Kombat the guy to death with your cooking. ^^

[Yuusuke]

Hehh, actually. . his comment was "Wonderful! Is this really what other foods taste like?" . . 'erm. . along those lines. . then. . *sweatdrop* He collapsed in pain and started yelling to have pickles. . ^^;

[Ko Hakaisha]

Hm. 'Other Foods'? What'd be 'other foods'?

[Yuusuke]

Well, Kirin. . as well as the others from. . *blinkblink* Wherever it is that he's from. . only eat rice and pickles. . and pickled-(insert name of random vegetable). . ^^;;

[Ko Hakaisha]

Hm. That's ... ... odd. What are they, monks or summin'? O.o

[Yuusuke]

Hnn. . I believe . . they're the Seven Lucky Gods. . !! ^^;;;

'Erm. . they seemed 'ta have a thing with pickled-foods. . 'twas a kind'a main plot-point in th' story. . though I won't spoil anything past that. . ^_^

[Ko Hakaisha]

Which movie was this? The first one?

[Yuusuke]

Yup, the first movie. . ^_^;;
Big Trouble in Nekonron China, if I remember right. . ^^

[Ko Hakaisha]

That one's out on DVD, right?

[Yuusuke]

Yup, both Ranma moves as well as the OAV series are out on DVD. . ^_^

[Ko Hakaisha]

I knew the OAVs were ... fairly certain Big Trouble in Nekron China was, but I hadn't seen the other movie ... ...

[Yuusuke]

The other movie. . let's see. .
Nihao My Concubine, I'm pretty sure that's what Viz has titled it ^^;;

Also. .
Final Battle at Togenkyo Island: Get Back the Brides

I rather like that title a bit more. . ^_^

And. . well, I do remember seein' previews for the second Ranma movie on DVD, on my tapes I have. . so it should be out. . ^^

[Ko Hakaisha]

'Kay. ^^ Now that you've said that title, I remember it!! ^^

[])r/-\g()n]

Are the first 2 movies OAVs?

[Ko Hakaisha]

No, they're official movies. ^^
