The list of opening and ending songs is a mess, with two theme songs for some epsiodes and none for others. I just watched the whole of series 6, so I corrected that bit. Juryen 23:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reorder of episodes

I know the intent is to put them in the Japanese order, but it now presents incorrect as the seasons named are the Viz releases and the episodes no longer match up to that release. As is it's wrong (mixing NA season names with JP episode order), but I'd like to know what people's preference in presentation is. Derekloffin 09:32, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Highlight Significant Points (Notes)

I added notes to OAV since I felt it is not enough to say that the Movie 3 is included up in front of the article, it should be in that section as well, as most people will just use Wikipedia to look up a section rather than read it through. It might also be better to include Movie 3 with the movies as well, as the Japanese original method of release is authoritative (though US release info is important to US viewers). This makes the article longer, but a better reference rather than a read.

Also noted DoCo's role in the OAVs because, DoCo being a band formed by Ranma seiyuu, this is a very significant fact that should be highlighted.Jaydubayubee 19:54, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I looked at the article first before looking here; I presume that the reader will actually read the introductory paragraph first, so I thought that the second mention that OAV 9 is really movie 3 was duplicative since it's mentioned in this paragraph. Thus, I deleted the entry but shifted the ref. I do agree that movie 3 should be added to the movies; consequently, it need not be mentioned again in the OAV list, which reflects the Western release. To reflect what the OAVs really are, the list can be modified to reflect the Japanese release; a note stating that the Western release is 12 instead of 11 eps due to the inclusion of movie 3 can be added.
I added the nav template which does link to DoCo's article, which is also linked to in its first mention and changed the note re. who they are after deleting it first. BrokenSphereMsg me 00:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This List is buried at bottom of the Main Page

Someone should figure out how we can make this List of Episodes more prominent, as this list with the full names of episodes and TV seasons is necessary to do searches for specific seasons and episodes, which is a primary reason people use Wikipedia. I'd recommend giving a brief summary of the TV, Movies and OVA on the main page and how they differ from the Manga and use this point to link to the list.Jaydubayubee 19:54, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Good point; I didn't even notice until you mentioned it that there's no mention of the eps, movies or OAVs at all on the main article page except for the infoboxes and nav template. BrokenSphereMsg me 00:14, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date Conflict

Um, the top of the page says Ranma 1/2 first aired April 15 1989, but then it says season 1 is 1988-1989. Which is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.65.81 (talk) 21:39, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Good catch. I'm guessing someone went through and mindlessly add year ranges, not realizing the 1st season was only in 1 single year. I've fixed it.Derekloffin (talk) 00:10, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ranma 1/2 movie #2 - Is the island called Togenkyo in the English dub?

I've seen lots and lots of anime/manga (Gensomaden Saiyuki immediately comes to mind) that talk about a place called Tougenkyou. Usually, in English translations and dubs of Japanese works like anime and manga, the name is translated to Shangri-La. And my dictionary says the same thing.

But I haven't seen the English version of the movie. If they call it "Togenkyo" in the English, then it should probably stay that way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.54.213.67 (talk) 17:36, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

The floating tree island is referred to by Toma as Togenkyo in the English dub dialog (and on the box too, with that spelling). Tougenkyou is just a spelling variant (just like Ukyo is often done as Ukyou), and they never call it anything like Shangri-La, or some other similar term. Been a while since I watched the subtitle so I don't recall what they called it there. Derekloffin (talk) 18:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
