Ranma 1/2 Martial Mayhem is a DVD box set of the fifth season of
Ranma 1/2. This set contains a total of twenty-four episodes. The
first four discs contain five episodes, while the fifth disc
contains four episodes and the special features.
The special features menu contains five options: "Line Art Gallery,"
"Textless Opening," "Textless Ending," "Cast List," and "Actor
Profiles." As expected, the textless opening and ending are just the
opening and ending credits without the text. The line art gallery
contains model sketches of the characters that appear in this DVD
box set. However, I don't know how many pages of sketches there are,
because no page numbers were included in this feature (which had
been the case for the previous Ranma 1/2 DVD box sets). The cast
list is a list of the English and Japanese voice actors for each
character. The actor profiles are selected filmographies for the
English voice actors. It should be noted that, unlike some of the
previous box sets, that the English names that appear in the cast
list are not links to their entries in the "Actor Profiles" area. In
my opinion, I thought that Viz Media was putting less effort into
the DVD extras in this set than they had on the previous DVD box
sets.
Ranma 1/2 Martial Mayhem is a rather "low frills" DVD set. While the
special features are better than what appeared on the first Ranma
1/2 DVD box set, I wish something had been done that took a little
more effort, such as interviews with the English voice actors, or
character profiles for the characters that appear on the box set.
Ranma 1/2 Martial Mayhem tends to run between $40 and $50 at retail.
While this could be considered a little high-priced for what you
get, the episodes are still worth the cost. The series is very
enjoyable for an older audience (16 and up), and really should be in
an anime fan's DVD collection.
This season covers the 70th to the 94th (excluding the 72nd)
episodes of the Nettōhen series.
