Ranma 1/2 TV Series Set 4 Limited Edition (Blu-ray)

Finally got Season 4 in! I've been slowly upgrading my Ranma 1/2 from my old DVDs to Blu-Ray, decided to take the plunge since I found out that the Limited Editions are going out of print now! Was very lucky to snag a copy of Season 1 LE. Looks like I'll have to make due with the Standard Editions of Season 4 & 5 since they're SO expensive now!!! At least they come with slipcovers at any rate. It's not my favorite Season, I thought Season 4 had the worse opening of the Series with the very 80's Music Video talking heads intro. And it had the least amount of stories that I liked but there were a few highlights here and there that for me are still Classic Ranma. Episodes that really worked for me were : Here Comes Ranma's Mom!, From Ryoga with Love, My Fiancé, the Cat, A Formidable New Disciple Appears, Happosai's Happy Heart, Extra, Extra! Kuno & Nabiki: Read All About It!, Ryoga the Strong... Too Strong, Close Call! P-chan's Secret, Ranma and Kuno's... First Kiss, Shampoo's Red Thread of Dread!, Ranma, The Dumbest Bet in History! and You Are Such A Jerk! The Season was end-heavy with episodes I liked thankfully, but light at the start. I'm sorry the animation quality also took a dive after Season 3 (I assume they switched to a different company) so for me anyway, the animation suffers in Seasons 4, 5 & 6. But the stories get better in 6. Season 7 the animation style REALLY changes a lot, for the better I think and the stories are very good. But nothing beats Seasons 1-2 for both story and animation except maybe the OVA's and the Films. I've been upgrading the series in order or price. Most affordable to most expensive, buying between Amazon and Right Stuf Anime. Both have good deals and price drops depending on the week and sale going on... I'm not a huge Anime buff, I'm very picky but I love Ranma and it looks fantastic on Blu-Ray, so definitely worth the upgrade. I sincerily hope that VIZ Entertainment remasters and releases more Rumiko Takahashi series on Blu. Urusei Yatsura and Maison Ikkoku are both on Blu-Ray in Japan but no sign of them being released in North America yet unfortunately with English Subs or and an English Dub. Anyway, good luck in collecting or upgrading your Ranma 1/2, it's very much worth the double dip!

ok back then I have touched back at my first review on my first three season dvds of Ranma 1/2 and now I am finally writing a review on my dvd of Ranma 1/2 Set 4 dvd because I think that this is the fourth season of Ranma 1/2 that I have finally now owned ever since that during the summer I have to watch all seven seasons of Ranma 1/2 during my days of me not going to school until summer school while I have to get a chance to finish watching the seventh and final season of Ranma 1/2 because I have been looking back at myself on reading all 36 manga books of Ranma 1/2 and now I have been watching season four recently during the day before I have to get a chance to watch seasons five, six and the final season of Ranma 1/2 before I get a chance to watch the final season of Ranma 1/2 during summer school last year.

great show, great delivery condition <3

From start to finish this series has been hilarious and I loved every second. Overall Score for this given its a comedy and the plot isn't to be taken serious, is a 9/10.

Like to watch

I was hoping to find the limited edition version on Blu-ray. Can't find it so, I have to buy this one.

Great product, High quality episodes and very nice art in the box, cover and booklet !

Muy buena serie, de excelente calidad y muy divertida

Excellent remastered edition of Ranma 1/2 classic anime series. This is the american edition with English voices and subtitles plus the original japanese voices, opening and endings and commercial in and out cuts. Quality is as good as possible today: some noise from the film, but clean lines, vibrant and good colors, in their 4:1 TV original format unstretched and uncut. Plus without any censorship and the episodes on the right order as aired in Japan (in USA they aired swapping some episodes for unknown reasons). So if you are fan of this anime, don't hesitate and buy it while there is in stock cause it's a limited edition (and the DVD quality edition is by far worst)! Just note these BluRays are USA regin, so in order to play in EU you will need to use a player able to change the region, region free, or in a computer using specific software.

Super

Of the six sets I have rebought on blu-ray, this is the only one that is not a limited edition. The limited edition was way too expensive on set 4 for some reason. Thus,, there is no cardboard box or booklet with episode summaries and art in this set - just the case with 3 discs. Videao and audio quality are excellent as always, and unlike many recent releases, you can have English subtitles with English audio. These sets are spacesavers over the old thinpak dvd releases I had, and the quality is much improved. Well worth buying, but watch for sales.

The special edition BluRay Ranma 1/2 sets are some of the nicest BluRay box sets I've ever owned. They're great just to look at, come with a collectible lithograph and glossy episode guide. The discs themselves are in a plastic bluray keep case and it's all tucked inside a heavy duty cardboard sleeve. It's been worth the extra few bucks for me to go for the Special edition ones, and the price on Amazon is fantastic, especially on pre-order, as I spent $70 on the first set at a convention. What a relief to save $25 a box set!
