I'd sign and wouldn't mind adding some suggestions to a petition:

-At least three epsiodes per tape for all TV series (Ranma and MI). $25 for
dub and $30 for sub.

-Release one Ranma tape per month (don't skip a month for the MI release).

-Release one MI tape every two months.

-Release Ranma TV on DVD (3-4 eps per disc-$35) Starting with the 5th season
and then go back and do the early seasons as boxsets.

-Ranma manga releasead bi-monthly, with at least 4 graphic novels per year.

-IY manga released bi-monthly, with at least 4 graphic novels per year.


Just for the record, the Ranma OVA's are going to be put on DVD by the end
of 1999.
