I think it has more to do with the waning popularity of Ranma--Viz 
has really driven it into the ground with their slow releases 
(someone please tell them to join the rest of the companies in 
releasing volumes with more than 2 eps on them) and the fact that 
Ranma has been over and finished in Japan for quite a while (as 
opposed to Tenchi, where the hope of a 3rd OAV series is always 
around). Is the ML dead? No, not really, but it's not all that far 
away from being dead. Perhaps when the DVD releases start coming, 
more people will come.
