	I'm pretty sure he meant the US stuff, and it is not that much cheaper
to get the original stuff.  I remember looking at a catalog and the The
Ranma 1/2 LDs are really expensive.  Yes it's LD, but... I'd imagine VHS
would have comparable costs.

	A long time ago Thomas Cardwell tried to get this LD petition going.  I
guess it hasn't worked yet.

	Talking to friends is easier.  :)

	But the Ranma 1/2 anime has no real structure to them anyway, so it's
not like you're missing out on part of an ongoing story.  Some episodes
are good, some are not, and there isn't a pattern.

	And surely someone out there can sell you bootleg copies for cheap.  I
mean I know my friend did not buy those 5 boxes of Anime in his room.
