Okay, maybe I should have made myself a little bit more clear...

I agree that all the episodes should be done. But that's just a personal
belief...the question I wanted to put forth was: Do you think we should
go without skipping "weak" stories even if could cause the cancellation...
er...I mean have the Ranma 1/2 series go on 'Hiatus' do to declining
sales? We try to avoid stagnation by eliminating the volume numbers but
I think that can go only so far...

As for people suggesting we put more episodes on tape at a higher price...
That's not going to happen, all of the fans of the series may feel that
way but the general public doesn't like high price tags on tapes. So
we've dropped the prices on the second season to $24.95. (Chains like
Blockbuster and Musicland don't like to buy tapes priced over $20...$25
tops... That's why we're selling the Fatal Fury tapes for $19.95) At
some point, I'd like to see the Ranma tapes at $19.95 as well but at
the present time, it's not too feasible (or so I'm told...I'm not involved
in the money end of things).

Lastly, those of you who we compalining that we'll take forever...yes, it's
gonna take a good amount of years, even if were to be picked up as a weekly
show or we released 4 episodes a month, the series was on TV ofr 3 years in
Japan, of course it's going to take a long time to release here... (^^;;;

BTW, thanks for all your replies to the ML and to me personally. I'm still
looking for ideas for the next OAV tape, os if your have a suggestion... ^_-
