Hmm, depends on the season e.t.c, at least for 3rd and 4th place. Mine are 1. Ranma 2. Akane 3. Ukyo 4. Cologne at present, I reserve the right to change in the future. Mind you, I like all the characters with the possible exception of Happosai, who irritates me a bit too much. Doco songs. Got Doco 1st and 2nd, and I'm very fond of them. No idea why you might want them in english though, the songs were written in Japanese and like most things almost certainly sound better in their origin language. But then again, I'm a sub watcher and it's nice to be able to recognise the characters in the songs :-). I also find that the more I listen to them the more I understand These days I can follow the words in those songs almost as well as I could if they were in English. Mind you, when I start singing in Japanese along to the Doco Karaoke CD, I get weird looks if anyone spots me How did I get into Ranma? Well, a friend lent me the first Collectors Edition TV tape. Great stuff!, I loved it and promptly bought the rest of the Coll Ed. tapes Watched those and I was hooked. Mostly by the comedy and the developing (if repressed) romance between Ranma and Akane. So I got every other subbed tape I could find and after a while all the GNs Something like $1000 I think. And then there was fanfiction just to add more fun :-) WUE. Still got to read that. All these 'W' fics I have still to get to. Takes a LONG time to get through the 'T's. Right now up to 'The Production of Joy'. Next big fic 'The Shadow Chronicles' So, how do people think that Ranma would react if something made it impossible for him to practice martial arts any more. Or maybe just that something ate his ki, so he became no more powerful than a normal person. I know that this was started in the HSH arc, but he got cured. I'm interested in the long term consequences. What would the others do? --Rakhal
