Ranma Review
Big Trouble in Nekonron China
It's just another day at the "Tendo Anything-Goes Martial Arts Training
Hall," or at least is starts out that way. Everyone is enjoying a hearty
meal when the arrival of a strange girl named Yychee and her giant
elephant Jasmine throws everything into an uproar. It's no so much her
arrival that's the problem (after all, strange girls and animeals are
arriving at the Tendos' all the time), but the fact that she's come to
settle a score with small but spunky panty thief Happosai, the martial
artist who originally trained not only Soun and Genma, as well.
As it turns out, a very long time ago Happosai gave Lychee's
great-grandmother half of a legendary scroll guaranteed to bring
happiness to shoever is holding it. The woman of Lychee's fammily have
been waiting for three generations now and the prince still hasn't come,
so Lychee's traveled all the way to Japan from China with only poor
Jasmine for company.
Of course, the moment Lychee lets the scroll out of her sight who should
happen to pick it up but Akane, Soun's youngest daughter and Genma's
future Daughter-in-law, provided Akane and Ranma can stop fighting long
enough to get married. That may nolonger be a problem, however, as the
long-awaited Prince Kirin has chosen to fulfill the prophecy and sweep
his lucky bride off her feet.
Taking Akane with him, Prince Kirin sets off aboard his majestic flying
barge and Ranma & Co. Must follow them on a slow boat to Nekonron China.

Akira Review
Tokyo, as we know it, was destroyed by a kind of a new super-bomb of
unknown origin. 9 hours after, World War III broke out and most of the
major cities in the world were completely destroyed. 31 years after,
Neo-Tokyo now stands, were the old Tokyo has been.
One night, Kaneda and his motorcycle gang have an accident with a little
boy with a wrinkled face, as one of an old man. Tetsuo, one of the
gang's members crashes into the boy, who mysteriously remains unhurt and
then simply vanishes from the eye.
Tetsuo is brought to Hospital, and everything seems to have normalized.
But that is not at all the case:
The strange boy from the last night was a part of a secret military
project dealing with supernatural powers. The project is lead by the
"Colonel", who wants to develop human weapons with aid of these powers.
On his trail are Ryu and Kei (not Kay), members of a semi-terroristic
group, who want to discover and destroy his plans.
And now Tetsuo is going to be a new member of the project. But his
powers rise much faster than the Colonel has expected. Tetsuo manages to
find out the location of an underground freeze chamber, where the
mysterium AKIRA is kept.
Akira, too was a member of the project. But why did they put him in the
freeze chamber at 0,0005 Kelvin ? They were afraid of something.
Something they couldn't control anymore. Something Tetsuo is going to set free really soon . . .
And in midst of all the trouble: Kaneda and Kei.
