1991 ‘らんま1/2 中国寝崑崙大決戦! 掟やぶりの激闘篇!’ Directed by Shuji Iuchi
When Prince Kirin of the 7 Lucky Gods shows up at the Tendo dojo looking for his bride-to-be, guess who's accidentally holding the scroll that signifies his future mate? Why, Akane, of course, and the rest of the Ranma crew is forced to take a boat to China in order to save her from the horrors of marriage and a diet of pickled vegetables.

It was fun to revisit this after so many years; I finally picked up the OVA/movie blu-ray set at Best Buy, of all places, last year, and am at last getting around to the movies, which I probably hadn't seen in at least 10 years.
RANMA 1/2 was such a fun little show, though it ultimately grew beyond the stronger heart and more solid comedy of Takahashi's original manga (which I loved), and certainly past its budgetary limitations, though it was produced during an extremely uneven period of the '80s/'90s boom in the industry. Lots of anime being made, much of it very good, but animation didn't always live up to its ambitions, either due to budget constraints, studios stretched…
show ukyo at the start and for what? to leave her like that? treat the best girl like that i hate it
I can't really be objective with this one. I watched this over and over on VHS back in junior high. Hell, one time on a school trip, I convinced the teacher to play this tape on the bus when someone else's tape of Mr Holland's Opus refused to play. Everyone else was not happy to watch this for some reason but even today I'm pretty fond of it.
It's an extra long episode of the show that doesn't do a whole lot with the format. Hell, the first 10 or 15 minutes are just an extended chase scene filled with tons of character cameos, some that last mere seconds, that have no bearing on the plot. It's a lot a…
"Where's that pretty-boy jerk?!"
*romantic music plays*
That pretty much sums up Ranma 1/2 right there. The asinine is sweet and the sweet is asinine.
Wrote about this one over on my blog. It's probably not a great example of Ranma 1/2 for anyone who's new to the series. Hell, it probably isn't a great example for peeps who've been into it as long as me. But it means a lot to me, so it's really good and stuff.

I seem to be the biggest fan of this movie so far on letterboxd, but MAN did I love this!
It's incredibly entertaining, the characters are all so likable, there are so many funny moments in it, the english dub is fantastic (which probably adds to why a lot of the comedic moments landed), and the movie is comfy and relaxing to watch
This was my very first experience with the Ranma 1/2 series, and with that being said, I was still able to understand probably about 90% of every character and reference they made
If you're looking for a relaxing, light hearted and hilarious anime movie that's only a little over an hour long, please do yourself a favor and watch this! This has made me really excited to watch all the other OVAs
Allora,la premessa e la storia sarebbero anche carine il problema è che qui tutto viene allungato per raggiungere l'ora ed un quarto di durata,se la storia fosse stata tagliata nei punti giusti e condensata in un paio di episodi della serie regolare sarebbe stato meglio.
All I remember is a moment when Ranma is a girl and vows that Akane is his bride and everyone is like D:?!?!!?? And I’m like oh yeah this series let me play out so many gay fantasies
Definitely about time I saw this! The theme has permeated in my brain for over half my life from the Pokémon vhs trailers after all!
I’ve seen a hefty chunk of Ranma 1/2 episodes but never any of the films or OVAs until now, and it’s pretty standard for how Rumiko Takahashi franchises deal with them, but that being said I love Ranma with all my heart so it’s still a great time!
....what’s not a great time however is the obscene Ukyo slander! Should have just not included her at all if you were just going to shoehorn her in for 5 seconds of runtime at the beginning to add onto the Happosai chase scene!
structurally, this is a great way to do an anime spin-off movie; introduce the entire cast of the show in the first ten minutes in a glorious spectacle of fan service, then move promptly into a self-contained story which makes them all team up to defeat a new enemy. and specifically as a Ranma 1/2 film, its a lot more interesting than a lot of the so-so episodes after the series revival. it actually works to develop Ranma and Akane's romance, where much of the series refuses to move them beyond their cyclical antagonism. very fun!
Remember when the trailer for this would come on at the beginning of like any Pokemon VHS? The song was outrageously catchy i wanna put it on a mix cd

Far from bad, if you like the series you'll get some enjoyment out it, basically needed a tiny bit more for me to overall like it. For what it is its a decent side story film but still has the same tropes as you'd expect like a bunch of the side characters being thrown in just to get like five minutes of screen time and pretty much do nothing. The plot is average but the strengths come from the comedy which here is fine but relies a lot on the main series usual jokes. New characters are fine too and nothing too memorable. Again, not bad, but not good, wouldn't watch it again
