Ranma ½: The Movie 2 — The Battle of Togenkyo: Rescue the Brides! Audience Reviews

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
scorp76 Ah Ranma, how much I love the manga and TV series as child. Sure the bare boobs and shapely behinds are part of the attraction to the series but underlying personality conflicts to obvious solutions is what makes the series such a fascinating watch.But even at the time the TV series was ongoing the art and sound was a bit lacking in quality. So if you have finished re-watching or even watching the first time the Ranma TV series than Nihao My Concubine is a nice refresh.The is still today of excellent quality and stands the test time with the style used (a more detail contouring of all the characters' body profiles). The music is lively and the voice energising. Best watched with English subs as the dubbing is not good even though the English voice actors do try their best with the lines given. Let's just say you find it hard to differentiate quality of the dialogue from let's say La Blue Girl.Nihao My Concubine is probably one of the best examples of defining what Ranma is all about and the wackiness that goes with it. Although, Ranma is flashing boobs some of the time the other characters are still dressed and they are not drawn in overly suggestive poses. Think of how Runway and fashion magazines are shot.Overall, an excellent anime to watch or to used to introduce someone to anime. Child safe despite the nudity which your kids have probably seen worse by cable TV or net.
GreyFox37 now here's somethin you don't see everyday, ranma girl breasts a jigglin! the writers sure had a lot of fun. this is a real cool moive, my favorite of the two. the story is cool, stealing the girls for a man to marry. akane is, of course, the choice of the head guy. the animation is classic, the humor is still top notch, and the gilrs showing off their skin? great! i especially love the dragon fist and lionheart moves ranma and ryoga do. then, there's shampoo...hubba hubba! LOL. all in all, see this for more great humor!
sailormoose I must disagree with Techno Panda. Though I haven't read the manga, I've seen much of the series (subbed and dubbed), and for me anyway, this movie was just the icing on the cake. Albeit there were many breast shots, but it's not like you don't see many of those in the series as it is. Every part of this movie was in keeping with the spirit of the series, especially the end, but I don't want to ruin it for anyone so I won't go into detail. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
Pwandz Ahhhh, Ranma. For those of you not familiar with the Ranma situation, here's a quick explanation: It's the typical old boy meets girl, boy turns into girl, girl gets engaged to girl routine.Anyway, Ranma is a fine martial arts comedy based around a boy, Ranma, who changes between male and female form because of a curse laid upon him while training in the mountains of China. This is the second Ranma movie (based on the TV series, which, in turn is based on the original manga).The Ranma 1/2 series is top-notch hilarity from start to finish, every time. This movie, however brings a bad name to the name. Nihao My Concubine is full of gratuitous breast shots, lame non-humour and a severe lack of plot. The american dubbed version is (believe it or not) worse still, having ridiculous puns strewn about, thoroughly distracting and annoying to say the least, not to mention the acting standard. As for the actual animation, it's more or less regular Ranma standard - that is, high quality, but relatively simple artwork, that does the job well. If you must see this movie, make sure it's a fan subtitled edition, but better still, miss this movie altogether and pick up some of the original Manga ;)
