Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

scorp76 Ah Ranma, how much I love the manga and TV series as child. Sure the bare boobs and shapely behinds are part of the attraction to the series but underlying personality conflicts to obvious solutions is what makes the series such a fascinating watch.But even at the time the TV series was ongoing the art and sound was a bit lacking in quality. So if you have finished re-watching or even watching the first time the Ranma TV series than Nihao My Concubine is a nice refresh.The is still today of excellent quality and stands the test time with the style used (a more detail contouring of all the characters' body profiles). The music is lively and the voice energising. Best watched with English subs as the dubbing is not good even though the English voice actors do try their best with the lines given. Let's just say you find it hard to differentiate quality of the dialogue from let's say La Blue Girl.Nihao My Concubine is probably one of the best examples of defining what Ranma is all about and the wackiness that goes with it. Although, Ranma is flashing boobs some of the time the other characters are still dressed and they are not drawn in overly suggestive poses. Think of how Runway and fashion magazines are shot.Overall, an excellent anime to watch or to used to introduce someone to anime. Child safe despite the nudity which your kids have probably seen worse by cable TV or net.

rwilliam_aranda on the line of the series, is a bit (even more) of the endless funny discussions among ranma, akane and ryoga, and the same desire to demonstrate who is best to martial arts kuno, mousse, shampoo etc.. a nice sunny boat trip is turned into a "LOST" like drama when all friends (i mean ALL) came to a desert island and kuno's boat has been destroyed by a storm, all girls in the island become fade of, starting by beauty kasumi, kidnapped by a illusion master's warriors, all but one, (ranma girl!) who's guide the rest of the "rescue team" to the mysterious prison island where the girls are caught, but all girls are in a fashion pretty party in order the illusion master can make a choice of a bride. and guess who was the irreverent winner!!we can see brand new things, as night dressed nabikki very awesome!, interesting things: the hall fight where tendo, saotome, ranma, mousse, kuno, ryoga and hapossai fight together as a team, and expected things as the same "funny drama" between akane and ranma to express their love themselves where they are into an extreme situation, and after that, "anybody says anything" but they two know it in deep. a film to remember and laugh highly recommended for series's fans

William Dwyer The following may contain some spoilers...be advised.I have recently completed watching every season of the Ranma 1/2 anime, including the movies, OAV's, and all the Manga.This movie by far I have enjoyed simply because, while it is still a rehash of Akane being a damsel-in-distress type of story...which really was a repeating arc in the series. It is done at least freshly here outside of the confines of Japan, Furinkin High School, or Jusenkyo. A fresh look that was a very rare occurrence in the series. Besides it's "Ranma", you don't watch for deep plot lines or realistic stories. You watch because of the comedy and to see the progression of the Ranma/Akane relationship.You can easily pick any of the Ranma characters and find something of yourself in one of them.The animation in this movie has been by far the best of the entire series IMHO. For fans of the series, you already know there is a distinct style between all of the seasons, the movies, and the OAV's. This particular movie has a distinct OAV style. One thing to watch for all of the young female characters seem to have "grown up a bit", if you get what I mean). The character design is blatant in targeting a specific demographic obviously...especially with the designs of Female Ranma, Nabiki, Shampoo, Akane, & Ukyo. I would recommend watching at least the first 3-5 seasons of the anime series before watching this film. (I personally watched all 7 seasons before I hit the movies.) Something that we have not seen before in this movie is the presence of dripping blood (Ranma) and weapons piercing the skin (Mousse).Speaking of Mousse. His fight scene with the Bird-man for Shampoo is by far the best of the entire franchise. For the first time we see real emotion out of Mousse as a serious character, not just the butt of jokes. Excellent scene.Again, the storyline is basically the same as the majority of the anime series. But if you are watching ANY part of the "Ranma 1/2" franchise for the plot...your missing the point. With the twist in location, the superb animation, and updated character designs...this movie is by far very entertaining.The opening sequence is an eye opening experience.

GreyFox37 now here's somethin you don't see everyday, ranma girl breasts a jigglin! the writers sure had a lot of fun. this is a real cool moive, my favorite of the two. the story is cool, stealing the girls for a man to marry. akane is, of course, the choice of the head guy. the animation is classic, the humor is still top notch, and the gilrs showing off their skin? great! i especially love the dragon fist and lionheart moves ranma and ryoga do. then, there's shampoo...hubba hubba! LOL. all in all, see this for more great humor!
