Video:

The video is purely fantastic. an R1 Rip, and it's not pixelated WHAT SO EVER.

Audio:

Jap audio - pretty quiet, but you only need to turn the TV up a little :) audio is very clear as well. Eng audio - a great volume, and everything is heard clearly, no complaints for either audio track. I like the English audio probably the best. I generally HATE dubbed anime, but Ranma is an exception. They did a really great job with this one.

Subtitle:

The subtitles are obviously R1 rips. I've HEARD that their either a second or split second behind, but I have not noticed at all. you sometimes need to turn the subtitles off so that you can read signs or whatever. But that's not really a problem. The are actual SUBTITLES, and not Dubtitles.

Comment:

DVD is very easy to operate. The menus have been done very well. there are special features too. Like the openings and endings without words or credits. Character Designs, and info on the English voice actors. This DVD collection is probably the EXACT same as the FX copies. This set is a must buy though. It's a great series, and the animation is very well done. Cheers.

Video:

Just like the R1 releases! Nice video quality from the get-go. No grains, no blobs, no nothing! Gotta love it!

Audio:

Why am I not surprised? Just like the original American Viz release, the English audio is much louder than the Japanese audio. Despite that, I always choose the Japanese dialogue with subs rather than hearing the English dub. You'll know why...

Subtitle:

Excellent subs overall! Once again, taken from the American releases. And yes, they also have the same flaws on the R1 release of the first season. But I ain't complaining!

Comment:

Ranma 1/2 is without a doubt, a timeless anime classic! This is bound to entertain all anime fans big and small, new and old. This is a series that should NEVER be missed by anyone who just loves fast martial arts action, comical humor, romance, and all sorts of things that just comes out of the blue. Out of all the anime I have seen, Ranma 1/2 has a special place in my heart! This anime will continue to entertain generations of anime fans everywhere! Enjoy!

Video:

Very perfect quality. Nothing really mistankinbly wrong with the video nor does it show signs of it being grainy. Let's you enjoy the show since it's very "colorly." Allows you to watch the romantic martial arts comedy that it is.

Audio:

OK, the music in the English version is a little louder than the Japanese audio so it's kind of weird, but still audible nor should it really bother the viewer or take away the fun of watching Ranma.

Subtitle:

The timing is a little off and so are some of the translations. Like the first episode in Japanese is called "Chuugoku kara kita Aitsu Chotto Hen," meaning "The Boy Who That Came From China is a Little Weird." While the English version it's just "Here's Ranma." That's just one example.

Comment:

I've been a Ranma fan since 6th grade and I'm now a college senior. So I'm pretty happy to find the first 2 seasons in this wonderful DVD set. I'm remember the days of getting the dub (2 episodes per VHS) for like $35. Now I'm practically paying that much for this wonderful DVD set.

Video:

The video on this box set is decent, although maybe not exceptional. There is almost no pixelation but the video itself seems a little dated, but its expected seeing as this series was created in the 1990?s. I am pretty sure that this looks almost as good as the R1, unless they were to release a new re-mastered version.

Audio:

The audio on the English dub is loud and clear, the Japanese dub is recorded a little lower but is also good. This is one series where I actually prefer watching the dub to watching it subtitled because the dub is very well done, however the sound featured is only in stereo which might dissapoint some of your audio nerds.

Subtitle:

R1 ripped English subs. There are some very minor timing issues here and there but I think this is present in the R1 release, almost perfect.

Comment:

Ranma ½ is a hilarious TV series, no one should miss it. I didn?t think I would like it at all but now I consider it my favorite anime series ever. It?s full of all sorts of slap stick gender blender comedy and more funny situations than you could ever think of. A lot of full frontal nudity but it never exceeds that (much). But to those who have or use cheap Dvd players I might suggest avoiding this release, my Apex 1010W had a lot of trouble playing some of the discs, but my more expensive Emerson Dvd player had no problem and played them all perfectly.
