Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Director Junji Nishimura spoofs the popular Japanese genre of monster movies in these three episodes of Rumiko Takahashi's absurd martial arts comedy. A spider and a demon modeled on traditional Kabuki creatures emerge from a Chinese scroll to attack a carnival in "Scribbled Panda." The ringleader and most horrible of these beasts is an icky-cute little drawing who develops a crush on Ranma. This very funny misadventure suggests "Hello Kitty" on a rampage. "Lucky Panda" takes Genma down a river to a mysterious hidden village in the Japanese Alps--where he finds the regular cast in parallel form, but as argumentative as ever. Only in a Ranma episode could a seaside resort be terrorized by a ceramic octopus trap. Although things eventually get sorted out, no place Ranma visits could be described as getting back to normal. Unrated; suitable for ages 12 and up: Nudity, slapstick violence, mild risqué humor. --Charles Solomon
Description
Ranma and the others visit an exhibit of cursed Chinese paintings at a local festival. During a scuffle over food between Genma and Ranma, the exhibit is crashed into and three scary monsters depicted in the paintings are unleashed! Two of the paintings depict traditional demons (which Soun, Happosai and Genma must fight), while the third demon -- a very high girlish demon -- declares she won't go back into her painting unless Ranma takes her out on a date!

4 out of 5 stars Its One of the Best.......2003-09-13

I own many Ranma 1/2 DVDs and in my opinion, this is one of the best. The Scribbled Panda episode was really funny. The other two episodes were just okay. If you prefer to watch Ranma because of its strange, plotless comedy then I think that this is a good DVD to own. If you like watching Ranma 1/2 for action, I suggest you watch another anime (Dragonball GT, Dragonball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin), Gung Fu movies, or American made action movies.

By the Way - The Manga is alot more funny than the anime.

2 out of 5 stars Probably the Worst Ranma DVD in 6 seasons.......2003-09-10

I am a big Ranma fan but I have to say that these 3 episodes must be the worst I have ever seen.

The curse of the scribbled panda is about Ranma having to go on a date with a cartoon panda character that escaped from a scroll in order to return it and 2 monsters back to the scroll. Please... how bad a plot can you get.

The legend of the lucky panda is just so completely out of character in a different time and place that it could have been written by a substitute script writer that didn't know anything about Ranma.

Mystery of the marauding octopus similarly is set in a different place and seems so completely out of place in the series.

This is probably only a DVD for diehard Ranma collectors who want a conmplete set. Others should look at the other DVDs in the series which are mcuch better.
