Ranma 1/2 The Movie 2: Nihao
my Concubine
In
Ranma 1/2 The Movie 2: Nihao my Concubine poetry spouting Tatewaki Kuno
invites Ranma & Co. for a jaunt on his new luxury yacht. A sudden storm
shipwrecks them on a deserted island, and it isn't long before all the
young girls in the group disappear. It turns out that they've been bride
napped by Prince Toma, youthful ruler of the legendary floating island,
Togenkyo. Because of a magical spring which turns anything it touches instantly
male, would-be bridegrooms have to kidnap girls....and in this case, Ranma's
reluctant fiancee Akane is one of then.
In my
opinion this is just another example of all the good things that come from
a show about a cursed
boy. Ranma 1/2 is a great show with wonderful characters and terrific plots.
This second movie just
gives the watcher more of what everyone expects from Ran 1/2. Many transformations,
girls and martial arts fighting. The main character in this movie is of
course Ran Saotome. A young man who is cursed to become a woman whenever
he is splashed with
cold water. The other characters in this movie include Akane Tendo his
fiancee and her family-Soun, Kasumi, and Nabiki-, Ranma's Father Genma,
Shampoo, an amazon warrior, and her Great Grandmother, Ukyo, a spatula
wielding cook, Kuno, Mousse, and Happosai a perverted master to Soun and
Genma. Prince Toma, the villain in
this
movie, is the only little disappointment in this movie. He never comes
across as this evil lecherous prince. His is a bratty 13 year old who wants
a bride. Luckily he is not that big a part of this movie and everything
else is great. (He is kind of cute though ^_^)
