Description
When poetry-spouting swordsman Tatewaki Kuno invites Ranma & Co. for a jaunt on his new luxury yacht, the last thing the group expects is a sudden storm to shipwreck them all on a deserted island. However, fixing the boat to get home soon becomes the least of their worries, as all the young girls in the group begin to disappear. As it turns out, they've been bride-napped by Prince Toma, the youthful ruler of the 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 them!

The second theatrical feature in this popular series, based on Rumiko Takahashi's manga, continues the comic adventures of a clutch of mismatched teenaged martial artists and their families. In the best anime tradition, the girls are buxom and long-legged, and sport minimal outfits that cover less of them than do their cascades of hair; the guys are slim, cute, and somewhat thick-witted. The gang wrecks a yacht on the mysterious floating island of Togenkyo, ruled by Prince Toma, who's been seeking a bride by kidnapping girls wherever he drifts. Naturally, Toma is attracted to Akane, Ranma's fractious girlfriend. Ranma sets out to rescue her, but the dark-haired boy is transformed into a busty, red-haired girl whenever he's splashed with cold water. When the inevitable transformation occurs, Ranma finds him/herself as a bridal candidate, competing doggedly in such off-the-wall events as "survival flower-arranging" and "obstacle-course cooking." Some Western viewers may take offense at the lighthearted treatment of kidnapping and the lecherous little old man who steals the tops from the girls' bathing suits. But Takahashi and Iuchi play everything for laughs, including a subplot involving the water from an enchanted spring that turns everything it touches irrevocably male--the obvious solution to Ranma's problem. The results are fast-paced and zany, but don't always make much sense. --Charles Solomon

 A great Ranma Collection Addition April 16, 2007
Your Collect can not be complete without this little gem. Ranma and the gang have got there work cut out for them, but don't take my word for it just watch the movie!
it was asome June 25, 2006
the movie is really good and really funny its nothing like seeing ranma in a dress and actually trying his hardest to be a girl lol you will love this movie
Second try! A tad more adult. June 4, 2006
After a jaunt on Tatewaki's yacht, Ranma and the gang end up on a deserted island, where one by one the girls are kidnapped. It turns out they have been selected to become brides to the Prince Toma or his men.
It seems their floating island, the Kingdom of Togenkyo, has a magical spring that makes all the babies born on the island boys. So the men have to kidnap girls from the islands they pass just to find wives. Now Ranma has to save the girls and ALSO try to get some of the water from the magical spring. And to do that Ranma is going to join the anything-goes martial arts bride-off as his female side!
The boys pair off against different enemies, each one trying to save a different girl, making for some very interesting fights.
60 minutes long. While not rated the artwork is a tad on the mature side.
Every female character seems to jiggle a lot and has a bust side slightly larger than they normally have in the series. Even Akane!
Beaches, Babes, Breasts, and Big, Big, Fun! October 20, 2005
Now here's somethin you don't see everyday, Ranma girl breasts a jigglin! the writers sure had a lot of fun. This was a cool movie, 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 girls showing off their skin? Great I especially love the dragon fist and lionheart moves Ranma and Ryoga do. then there's Shampoo...hubba hubba!
RANMA 1/2 DOES IT AGAIN!!! December 17, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this movie not knowing what the heck it was (I'd seen about half of the third series of Ranma 1/2 in Italian), and I watched it on a tiny low color computer. It left me..... in awe. It was a GREAT movie!!! Bet you guessed that by now. After watching this I immediately tracked down the Ranma series and ended up recording series 1-7 off TV... I also bought the entire manga series (in Italian, as far as I know vol. 38 isn't out in English). But on with the review.There were a few things that I didn't particularly love about this DVD. The plotline is good, but has a few weak spots. It's the usual, Akane is kidnapped by a prince, Ranma goes to save her... but that's why it's good isn't it? (I'm a big R&A fan). There are also a few cute moments for... ((In my opinion)) Kuno and Nabiki, Ucchan and Ryoga, and even Shampoo and Mousse! Not to mention Ranma and Akane. There are some great extras on this DVD, like the relationship chart, that gives you brief clip that shows the relationship. (Example: Kuno loves pigtailed girl. "Oh pigtailed girl thank the heavens you're safe!" *Gets kicked into the dirt by Ranma*) . Both the dubbed and subtitled versions are good, but in the sutitled version, Ranma NEARLY says that he LOVES Akane, while in the dubbed he... almost says he loves her. Get it? There are also trailers for the Ranma TV series and the OAVs, not to mention other Viz videos. Overall, it's worth the money, and is really fun to watch!!
