Vision of Escaflowne.
Believe it or not, I only own *ONE* Ranma video that I was able to show her!
Oops?  Did i say that!!  Dear God, i've let the cat out of the bag once
again!
Yes, I admit it . . . I've seen every Ranma video ever made but I only own
the second movie . . *shame*shame*shame*

> But I haven't recruited any new anime fans from my immediate peer group

Actually, I've recruited all of my peer group . . .
Anime is such a big part of who I am, they really can't be friends with me
unless they like anime too . . . I don't mean that in a bad way - I just
mean that it takes a certain type of person or personality to enjoy anime,
and my friends and I all have that personality, which is what makes us
friends.  (does that make any sense?)

that's interesting!  Most people (IRL and on this list) seem to owe it all
to some bastard friend who made them watch a tape. . .

Yes, that's a quote that should be ingrained into the brains of every Ranma
1/2 fan.  It's all about the translation peoples!  ^-^

Oh I'm so excited!  If I ever get a hold of all the tapes, I think I'm going
to do a "bludgeon-a-thon" and we'll tally up all the acts of violence . .
.waitasec!  I'm moving to California next month, and my friend there has all
of them!  Yay!  ^-^

What are the criteria for this one?

And what's this?

Love the ego, timex, and psychosis categories  ^-^

But aren't you the original "Kocchi"?

Yes, THE Frank!  ^-^  He was a lot cooler than I thought he'd be  ^-^

Mine was "hotnit drags Snapple Girl in a burlap bag" RP  ^-^

Aw, come on!  We're just running out of Ranma stuff to talk about!  The
"good ol' days" have passed us by . . .

Seriously though, are there any Ranma threads that haven't been discussed
before?

Did anyone go to Anime Central '99?  I am desperately looking for Cosplay
pics of myself . . . I checked a few websites, but none were of me.  If
anyone has any snapshots, or knows where I can find them, please let me
know!  (i was dressed as Ukyou - and I had *real* spatulas, not cheap paper
ones like another Ukyou there did)
