Noriko Hidaka

Noriko Hidaka, Chika Sakamoto

20th Century Fox, 1996

Shinto for the Kindergarten Set
Don't tell anyone, but there is animist Japanese religion all over this perfect animated movie. Does that make it animated animism or animist animation? I don't know and does it matter - NO! This movie is sweet and beautiful with a marvelous soundtrack. It is ...

Ranma 1/2 - Hard Battle, Vol. 11: Soap Gets in Your Eyes

Kappei Yamaguchi, Megumi Hayashibara

Viz Video, 1997

Cure From the Pig!
This is one of my fave. eppy out of all the Ranma videos. The episode is with Ranma (of course)at a public bath. Shampoo has a miracle soap,(it will cure you from any curse). Shampoo accidently drops it in Ryoga's washing tub! Now Ranma and Shampoo are after the soap ...

Ranma 1/2 - OAV Series, Vol. 6: Faster Kasumi, Kill! Kill!

Kappei Yamaguchi, Megumi Hayashibara

Viz Video, 1998

two thumbs up
This is one of the best episodes of Ranma1/2. In the first episode, Ranma, Genma, and Soun are at one of the many temples in Nermia and are helping a guy put back on a spirt ward to keep the evil orge in a wooden box. But the orge doesn't stay put and comes out. ...

Ranma 1/2 - The Movie 2, Nihao My Concubine

Kappei Yamaguchi, Megumi Hayashibara

Viz Video, 1999

Ranma 1/2: Nihao My Concubine
The second theatre release of the Ranma ½ series is great! NIHAO MY CONCUBINE is just as good if (in my opinion) better than BIG TROUBLE IN NEKONRON CHINA. The whole gang is back in this wild vacation gone wrong. It's your classic Ranma comedy with a new adventure ...

Ranma 1/2 - Anything Goes Martial Arts (Boxed Set)

Kappei Yamaguchi, Megumi Hayashibara

Viz Video, 1997

One of the best series out there
This is definitley one of the best animes out there. It is a true original, and offers up just about everything: comedy, romance, drama, martial-arts action, cooking action (lol), and yes, comedy. It is truly hilarious and packed to the brim with intriguing ...

Ranma 1/2 - Hard Battle, Vol. 10: Smells Like Evil Spirit

Kappei Yamaguchi, Megumi Hayashibara

Viz Video, 1998

This is definitely not one to be missed!
The villain of the second episode in this video is one of the most intriguing characters I have seen in Ranma 1/2. This villain could potentially be one of Ranma's more powerful (and weirder) enemies. I did wonder why this mysterious fighter has not appeared in any ...

My Neighbor Totoro (Sub)

20th Century Fox, 2002

Shinto for the Kindergarten Set
Don't tell anyone, but there is animist Japanese religion all over this perfect animated movie. Does that make it animated animism or animist animation? I don't know and does it matter - NO! This movie is sweet and beautiful with a marvelous soundtrack. It is ...

Spirit of Wonder: Miss China's Ring/Du

Hiroyuki Shibamoto, Brad DeMoss

Animeigo, 1996

Great but Less Than Perfect
So why 5 stars? As a stand alone story in VHS or DVD format this is a terrific fantasy! The only reason I consider it less than perfect is because I was spoiled on the original comic book series (five or six issues called Spirit of Wonder, published by Dark Horse ...

Ranma 1/2 - Anything Goes Martial Arts, Vol. 11: Ranma and Juliet

Kappei Yamaguchi, Megumi Hayashibara

Viz Video, 1998

A Kiss?!
I've seen all the Ranmas released on tape so far (and even some that haven't been yet), and "Ranma and Juliet" is one of my favorites. Not really for the usual slapstick comedy--although I thought Drunk-Fu was hilarious, but more for the way we gain more insight about ...

Ranma 1/2 - Outta Control, Vol. 1: Headmaster From Hell

Kappei Yamaguchi, Megumi Hayashibara

Viz Video, 1998

Ranma is a great series
Despite the fact that the first user who reviewed this thinks watching it reminds her of Inu Yasha, let me just state that this came out before Inu Yasha, so maybe she should get her facts straight. Also, Ranma's voice is also in Gundam Wing, along with Kunos. And ...

Ranma 1/2 - OAV Series, Vol. 1: Desperately Seeking Shampoo

Kappei Yamaguchi, Megumi Hayashibara

Viz Video, 1999

One of the best Ranma 1/2 OAV's!
This is one of the best Ranma 1/2 OAV's in the whole OAV Series. In the first episode, Cologne gives her great-granddaughter, Shampoo, a choice of numerous ancient Chinese Amazon treasures. Shampoo picks a jewel which, unbeknownst to her, changes the wearer's love ...

Ranma 1/2 - Hard Battle, Vol. 2: Dim Sum Darling

Kappei Yamaguchi, Megumi Hayashibara

Viz Video, 1998

The Hypnotic Sneeze
Shamapoo has another crafty plan! This time it's to hypnotize Ranma with a new recipe. The bad twist is that now whenever Ranma hears someone sneeze he throws himself into the arms of whosever nearby. What will happen when Akane comes down with a cold? This ...

Ranma 1/2 - TV Series, Vol. 2
