 great collector's item August 4, 2008
This comes with a "special collector's postcard set", consisting of 6 postcards with full-color art. Not to mention the 'pin-up' of female Ranma on the back of the table of contents insert!
Postcard 1 is Christmas themed, centering on boy!Ranma carrying Akane for some reason while random Christmas things go on in the background.
Postcard 2 is Shampoo daydreaming of marrying Ranma in an elaborate ceremony.
 Awsome!! January 1, 2008

ok this box set is everything that people said it would be, i dont know about ranma at its best but the Ovas are very very good and if your a big ranma fan this is a must HAVE!!and if not then you should still get this i loved every episode of this, its had some super funny/romantic episodes,oh yea and before i got this people said that ranma expressed his true felling for akane in this and that is not completely true on the last episode of the he tells her about everything excepetd he loves her its still really good, o and this is supost to be the closher of ranma i supost to go like the TV series,then the movies,then the oavs but this.had no closher to it if you the real ending then read the manga ending,aslo this comes with 5 ranma post cards!!!
OAV are better than the TV series (with one exception) September 19, 2007

I have watched every episode of Ranma 1/2 and I can state for a fact that the OAV's are the best of all the episodes. They took the best of the manga (at the time) and turned them into a great anime OAV series. If you liked the first season you will really like this set.
The only exception to this would be the "Fake OAV" that is towards the end. The one that deals with Kuno and the egg. I say it's a fake because it's really the 3rd movie, but it was so terrible and really short (only 40 minutes I believe). To be fair to the 3rd movie, the manga version of this story is just as bad, and I have no idea why they would pick this story to be the 3rd movie. There were so many others that could have been so much better (Herb storyline for one).
If your look for closure of the tv series here, I'm sorry but there isn't any. However the OAV's do a good job of trying to continue the story. Buy this set now!
Hilarious, best Anime show July 5, 2007

If you're looking for a super-violent porn cartoon (as MST3K called them), this show is not for you. But if your looking for a zany comedy with real character development this show is the best thing you could get from Japan. The OVA's have noticeably better animation than the show itself, as these were independently produced. My wife and I watch them over and over again on a regular basis. Think of it as a sitcom with the unlimited possibilities of an animation. Definitely a great start for anyone interested in the series.

How could I possibly finish my reviews of Ranma 1/2 without mention the 12 OVA episodes that followed the show? These 12 episodes pick up right where we left off. Ranma and the gang are still growing together and getting into the usual...until these 12 episodes came along that is.
These episodes truly stand alone from the origional TV series. For one the animation is brilliant and much more fluid that the TV show, but thats how it goes with the quality factor. What truly sets these 12 episodes up on the pedestil is the intensity that is brought with each incredible half hour. There isn't much room for cheap laughs here. There is everything from giant 7 headed dragons to baby phoenixes, enchanted murderous dolls and even a huge christmas party that has an ending that will make you want to hold that special someone close to you.
Finally this is the moment in time where we get one step closer to the bond of Ranma and Akane at this stage in life Ranma lets the world and the viewers know exactly how he feels about Akane. So prepare for the action the laughs and yes the many tears that are shead as you watch the final 12 special adventures of Ranma 1/2. (Trust me you can skip the movies)
*Recomended Episode: Tendo Christmas Scramble*
