Shampoo is far from perfect, per se, but she certainly isn't evil. Ranma might not like her a lot, but he doesn't hate her.> I think it is mostly due to some reasons such as...one, some have mentioned where Shampoo and Ukyou come in with bombs and try to blow up the wedding. Some may have seen that ad tried to put her in an unfavorable light. Two, and I think, Don, that this is the important reason why this is so...many tend to blow her uh...um...her "Amazonieness" (bleh, couldn't think of anything else, so...) out of proportion. I mean, we're all pretty educated here. We know what Amazons are and how they behaved. And some just feel they should put Shampoo in the same sense - violent, with no sense of rules. Well, for God's sake why did she follow the rules so much when she first came after Ranma-chan for beating her? Granted, she may have been PO'ed at being beaten, but if she really had no sense of the rules, she would have just merely gone back to her people. You are definitely correct - Ranma doesn't hate Shampoo - I just think that he thinks she's an annoyance. I don't know about you guys, but a girl (no matter how cute) following me around wanting to marry me even if I was taken, (which I'm not), might get on my nerves after a while. Of course you don't hate the person, you just think they might be annoying. Maybe this happens to girls more than guys, but then I don't know - I'm a guy. ^_^, Frank Frank Sanchez 27th member of the Knighthood of the True Fiancee Keeper of the Church of Miyu (Faithfully, we await our dear Miyu-chan's return...)
