Ranma ½: The Complete Series (English Dubbed) (1989) (Digital HDX Anime TV Show) Expired

This is a great deal for the $. I loved the hell out of this show back in jr high. The tapes were absurdly expensive and you had to wait a month for each one.

Then followed all of the chat room roleplays, the fanfics (anyone remember daigkusei no ranma?), the bootleg wall scrolls, the discussions on rec.arts.anime.misc, etc. this show was my jam for at least three years. It dominated mid-90s cosplay, and probably filled a good 20% of animerica's ad pages. It made sense as this was Viz' flagship show.

You had your fandoms with who was the best fighter, which love triangle had the best plot development (or square...or pentagon?)...and of course, who was the hottest. The snes game was pretty good...the PS1 game was like a badly-handling version of Tekken.

This show also kicked off many a sub-vs-dub debate, because not only was the show expensive, but Viz also released the subs at later time than the dubs...and also charges $5 more for it. So it went from a "which is better?" debate to a "is it worth it?" debate.

However, if you're a post-2006 anime watcher, I recommend catching a few episodes to see if it's your thing. I can't really imagine anyone younger than 35 who could get into it. It's one of those shows that's either watched by old-heads or studied for academic purposes for some undergrad-level anthropology class, lol.

However!!! Whenever I meet a ranma fan, I know that he/she and I can totally jam it out...it's like a secret handshake for all of the geriatric millennials anime fans. Give a holler if you grew up with this show.

This was a favorite of mine when I was in high school, I've just recently started watching it with my family as the 12 year old is really in to anime. If it was on some other service I would have bought it but I'm really not up for making another account. But it is a wonderful series.

Good Anime but it's better to donate to the Japanese animators (by looking up their websites online) who only make pennies unfortunately, than paying for a temporary license to watch.

The license can be revoked anytime and there is nothing you can do, since you agreed to their terms upon purchase. Like we saw before with Amazon, Funimation, and recently Sony...
