    I'm an idiot.
    I have time to watch anime, and this is what I choose to watch.
    I could be re-watching berserk, of checking some of the new and awesome animes that came out since 2006, but I choose to watch re-tales of ranma.

    (impressions, after 5 episodes).
    the loss of the musketeer story from season2 has caused great impact on the story total IQ count. it's now below 0.000000001 combined.

    it seems like no one can keep talking about the same subject for more than two sentences. and no one cares about anything other than the half elf (did I mention that I hate anime elves even more than I hate anime vampires and fantasy elves?).

    I know I'm not the target audience (I'm twice the target audience age, more likely), but seriously, are kids buying into it?

    I think that the moment I started getting into breasts was the exact moment I stopped caring about cute things. them Japanese need some purieten republicans in the anime industry.
    enough random rants, more to the point.

    the season is bailing out of each potential point of interest. again.
    instead of letting Saito and Louise dealing with the new situation ("oMG! we aren't magically connected anymore! we might need to put some effort into each other!), they bail out and go for the worst solution possible.

    The order of pussy knights, rather than continuing the 'serious' tone of last season (life's a bitch and then you die. and get resuscitation by a girl with huge knockers!), they become the order of pussy knights.

    instead of keeping bitch#1 a whiny bitch, they turn her personality 180* around, so she could show more skin.

    not to mention that they never show any decent character from season 1 anymore (everybody from s2 has died, anyways), other than the idiots.

    biggest bail out of all, has to be the re-telling of Saito's epic battle against the hordes of foreigners. the sword magically transports him away. case closed, nobody cares to ask anything about it (such as: "since when can you do it?")

    future plot:

    we all know that bitch #1 is void user, and bitch #2 is her thought-to-be-dead mother, why not say it already and get it over with? even if not, stop the school drama, it's a 13 episode series, push the plot forward.

    more in the future, when I catch up with the current episode.

    Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    Don't worry, DBZ. Episode 8 reveals such a gigantic plot device that it will wipe other plot inconsistencies from your mind for good. This series is so incoherent that if it was told every episode had actually its plot written by a different person who knew nothing about the plots of previous episodes, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

    I stand corrected. the wrecked off the only good story they made. shit, shit, shit!
    (it's one thing to kill the best character in the story, but to bring him back?!)
    did Tabitha even appear in those episodes?

    have to stop ranting... stop ranting, change direction...

    so, they built a ff airship B-52 bomber? heck, it's been a while since we saw any modern day items in the series (since the end of season 1, if I recall correctly), too bad that the two fire mages couldn't produce a decent relationship between them (one that isn't crap in a crapburger).

    god, three episodes, and maybe 15 minutes of plot, which can be summarized into "bitch can magic", "other bitch knows about the third bitch being a bitch", "bastard ain't dead!" and "we found the hanger where the climax will take place at".

    while the last scene explains why everybody coward away when they see elves, I still hate it. no chanting, the girl and the dragon didn't even put up a fight, I'd be fine if the girl could get a scratch on the pussy's face, but that's too much to ask for. I hate anime elves.

    honorable mention of suckage - teacher mage falls to hypnobell like all the rest, wasn't she supposed to be at least half decent?

    screw this, I'm too damn old for this ranma cloning

    This ova, folks, is rougly 100 times better than the series itself, and definitely worth watching. It has none of the stupid "story" the last two seasons of the series tried to present failing miserably. Instead, it's all fanservice and comedy.

    It has even got tentacles!

    167Mb, for an ova? is it 25 minutes, or the 60 minutes format?
    Because if the later, well quality is bad is it?

    Thanks for the reply

    Like Kraco:
    Go straight to the point, if you can't do a proper scenario, just get rid of it and do pantsu and ecchi all the way!

    special note: (the only thing I noticed before my mind exploded from all the breasts)
    the fat kid looks more rough and manly now, he got himself a decent jawline.


    they should have kept the octopus an eel for maximum fanservice.

    I could say something else, but that would be wasting air... download. watch. delete. or better yet: porn.

    When they first mentioned the beach, I thought Siesta might be the one wearing the school "priestess outfit" because of her experience with the school uniform from an earlier season, but then I knew it would end up being Tabitha.

    I think the part I liked best was Tifa licking the seawater and her ears wiggling up and down with pleasure.

    There is a reason the phrase, "Rie Kugimiya character" (or similar) exists. It is not to say that she doesn't do other types of characters, Alphonse Elric being one of her most well known. But there are really only a handful of her roles that aren't lolis, and the majority of those are tsunderes.

    I've read comments on how the series gets worse progressively with each new season, is this true? And the guy stops being useless eventually?

    well, i thought the first season was pretty awesome. the second was much less cool, but it still had its moments, and the ending was pretty awesome. but then the third? no, i wouldn't even bother watching it, honestly.

    Ok, now for a much more important question:

    - In 3 seasons, does this guy EVER change his outfit?

    No, not really. He must like his gear a lot.

    However, he isn't a useless guy. He even has some cool moments. Some have been mentioned in this very thread, I believe.

    I've been weary of reading the comments since i spoiled myself of Colbert's death here

    Btw wtf is up with Eclipse's raws? They're all censored! Where can i can the DVD edition?

    Oh God, episode 8... I literally screamed LAME! ( in portuguese ). What a dick move, and the way they explained it...

    Ok, so here it is:

    Season 1

    Pretty entertaining. I was annoyed on how i called every single event before it happened for being so obvious and cliché but the comedy was good, the action scenes were nicely animated and the romance was developing nicely.

    Season 2

    Meh... They decided to take action to add more harem i guess because the otakus bring the big bucks, but they hurt the series in a very bad way by doing so. Especially in the last episode, it was like they were rubbing it in our faces saying: "This is what you've been missing all along, enjoy <3!"

    Another thing that bothered me was how they almost completely abandoned the characters from the last season so they could develop the new ones. There was no need for that, they could have played a role here too without stealing the thunder.

    Even after being spoiled, Colbert's death really added a serious tone that the show was lacking but... well, YA KNOW!

    They also did a pretty lame portrayal of what a war is supposed to be, the moments of tension ( apart from the last episode ) were null. On that subject, the fairy with the huge knockers was a great excuse since it had been mentioned before and it had me laughing for a good while

    Season 3


    Season 2, with enhanced problems.

    After 3 seasons the jokes are getting stale and the tsundere is getting ridiculous: You've said you love him like 10 times and kissed 100, get over it.
    On the other hand the maid never gets old, she just goes at it harder and harder with each passing episode and i love it.

    Action scenes... remember those? They sure were awesome back in the day. After the last episode of the second season i was hoping for A LOT more.
    And what's with this counter haxx? As soon as 1 guys uses it then every enemy has it and it can only be broken by void magic... what the hell did they do before void magic was discovered a couple of months ago???

    Obviously my biggest bitch was bringing Colbert back in that lame ( LAME ) way and with a hint of pedo in him too...

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is why i hate catching this shows after they aired, i got all this stuff to discuss but nobody to discuss it with. Anybody care to indulge me even after all this time? There's a cookie in it for you
