You know what?  Genma's a real bastard, isn't he?  I wonder if _anyone_
likes him...^_^

Well, seeing what you've done here and on RAAM, you're pretty good at
conjuring up these things...^_^

I said they are _reasonable_, not a bargain.  Hell, Slayers vol.1 costs
$20 for 4 episodes.  But then there's also the Tenchi OAVs some of which
are 20 bucks for a 30 min. episode.  And Gunsmith Cats which is another
$10 for the same time length.

I think he generally _is_ a nice person, just that he can be a bit
thickheaded and doesn't take things too seriously.  Ranma ain't no
coward, but if people were trying to kill you, what would you do?  When
does he lie?  Cheats?  The Saotome Secret Tecnique isn't cheating- it's
strategic withdrawal.  Abusive?  And everything else- Again, I just
don't think he takes things too seriously, that's all.
