Sorry to see you go, but here's just a few pages that I've plucked out as being good (and that I read often.)
General Ranma 1/2 Sites
The Ranma 1/2 FAQ| | Whether you're a newbie and have no idea who this Ranma person is, or someone who's paid attention to the series since it started in America, this British site is still one of the best general Ranma 1/2 references on the web. |
Ranma 1/2: Perfect Edition| | If you don't like that FAQ site, of if you just can't find it there, then maybe this all-purpose page will do the trick. |
Ranma World| | Oh, well if you want a site that's a bit more like mine, this one will do the trick. |
Ranma 1/2 Manga Synopses| | Wanna know the plot of the manga but you just don't have the time or money? Well then, this is the site for you. Be careful, as the manga volumes are listed by Japanese organization, not American. |
Ranma 1/2 Image Galleries
Another Ranma 1/2 Gallery?| | The person who maintains this site certainly makes it known that this is anything BUT it's name. This site is one of the largest galleries of Ranma pictures on the web. |
Akane Tendo's WWW Archive| | Here's another decent picture archive. It tends to focus on Akane though. |
Ranma!| | Yep, another well-organized large picture archive... But no Akane pictures are here... |
Akane!| | Because the author puts them on a separate sister web site! Yep. This one consists entirely of pictures of Akane with or without Ranma and the rest. |
tinman's Colorization Project| | OK, so this site doesn't have NEARLY as many pictures as any of the previous ones, but this one is of special note, because tinman has decided to digitally colorize scanned Manga art! Cool! |
Ranma 1/2 Shrines
Lovely, Beautiful, Divine, Awesome, Akane Tendo| | "What? Where are all the Akane shrines?" you ask? Well, not many of them were decent, but this one is definately better than most of the rest. |
Pandamonia| | Amazing! Genma has a SHRINE dedicated to him! Why anyone would do that, I don't know, but I suspect that this author decided that the panda curse was to blame. |
Quack! Quack! - A Tribute to Mousse| | Now you're probably starting to wonder why there isn't a Ryoga or Ranma shrine here. That's because I haven't found one that gets close to matching the quality of this Mousse shrine. |
The Ten Yen Match| | By this point, you're probably ready to give up on this entire section. But don't! This Nabiki site is just as decent as Pandamonia. |
The Spatula| | A massive hoard of Ukyo lovers wielding sharpened spatulas can't be wrong... |
Ranma 1/2 General Fanfic Sites
The Penultimate Ranma Fanfic Index| | Looking for a Ranma fanfic but you don't care what you find? Then start here. This site has WAY TOO MANY fanfics to list linked to it. I've really gotta admire Rakhal for remaining sane while reviewing so many fics... |
The RAAC Ranma 1/2 Fanfic Archive| | At first, you'll probably want to ignore this HUGE repository. The reasons for that are because there aren't any descriptions for the fics, and the good fics are linked from the other two sites to here (if not to the original author's site). But this site updates more often than any other fanfic site here (It has to, it's a mirror of the Ranma fanfic directory of the original RAAC archive.) And if anyone suggests that you should read a specific fanfic, you'll probably find it in here... By name. |
The Ranma 1/2 Super Highway| | It's true that there aren't as many fics to choose from here as opposed to The Penultimate Index, but this has a much different (and better) way of organizing things, rather than in primarily alphabetic order, like the others. |
My Fave Fanfics (For the Most Part)
Fire's Fanfics (Destiny's Child, Sailor Ranko, Teineina Tenshi No Teze)| | Doesn't update way too often for the unfinished story I like (Teineina,) but the other two are finished. I must admit that Fire truly is one of the best crossover authors in existence. Every single one of the crossovers (which is every single one of the fics on the page) is a masterpiece, so it's no wonder why Rakhal like Fire's fics. I definately suggest you read them, even if you don't care for Evangelion and Sailor Moon, they're still great. |
Sofaspud's Couch (Girl Days)| | OK, this fic's hidden deep in the page (you'll have to click on the fanfic link and then the Ranma 1/2 Fanfics link.) But it's worth it (It's not like that's hard either.) Girl Days is truly a great followup to Takahashi's great work. I frankly don't care for it any more, but if you read through the first few chapters, you'll quickly see why I say that Kenko definately must have taken lessons from Takahashi Rumiko herself (and a few tips from Douglas Adams too.) |
The RatCave (Narrabundah 1/2)| | OK. If you're a Ranma purist, I definately don't suggest this fic, but if you've ever read the webcomic Wendy (and liked it) then you'll like this hilarious and somewhat... I'll just leave it at strange... mixture of pure unadulterated... Thing (It could probably be best described as Ranma as seen through a window smeared with Akane's cooking, if you can get my drift.) |
Studio-AESIR.net (The Bet, Mirrors Multiplied)| | I don't even need to tell you that this guy practically singlehandedly created the alternate universe idea first. Just go and read. |
The Homepage of Jeffrey "Oneshot" Wong (Just Won't Die)| | OK. You want crossover? "One-shot" Wong will hand you a heaping bowlful with his on-going fic Just Won't Die. But be prepared... Only three Ranma characters truly exist in the story, and because this is set a bit in the future, naturally all of the characters are pretty much OOC. It still makes for a nice read (even though it breaks down at the end) if you've got a day or two to waste. |
Ranma 1/2 Other Sites
The Oracle of Panda II| | Just have a good piece of food on hand, and with luck, Fata Morgana will make sure that "Genma-sama" answers your question as well as possible. Beware though, most often, the questions that are asked are nonsensical, but no matter what, with Genma replying, you can be sure that he will be as honest with his answers as he is during a game of shogi. |
Project: P.A.N.D.A.-R.| | I certainly don't support this underground faction hiding behind the woodwork at The Oracle of Panda II, but I suppose that as a webmaster I should try to be impartial and offer a link to them as well, considering the link below. P.A.N.D.A.-R. (or the Press-gang Assigned to the Neverending Devotion of Akane and Ranma) is a group of people loyal to ensuring that Ranma and Akane's "destiny" (or so called by Genma) continues and that they will eventually marry. |
The Red Panda Z Project| | I, for one, don't believe in that "destiny" hogwash, so I personally side with the Red Panda Z project, which is naturally the archnemesis of Project: P.A.N.D.A.-R. No, we don't have one of those nifty acronyms, but we do stand for all marriages that are not Ranma and Akane. That's mainly because our leader, Oblivion, desires the love of Akane. Though I don't exactly support that aspect, I don't reject it either. Whoever Akane ends up with is none of my business unless it's Ranma. At least I've got a ranking position there (Main Intelligence Specialist). |
Cursed Wretches of Jusenkyo| | OK, seems like just another Ranma description site, right? Wrong. It just so happens that this site "details" the changes and stages that a "Cursed Wretch" of Jusenkyo goes through, and how far each cursed Ranma character has come along the "path of enlightenment"... |
Pipian.com Message Boards| | I've got to plug this somewhere, so it might as well be here. These are the message boards for this entire site (www.pipian.com). Naturally, Anime Sekai has its own board, so just hop on over here and... Chat, why don'tcha? |
What? None of these links were quite what you were looking for? If you're looking for a more generic anime link, try the main links page.
No? You say you think you have a decent site that needs to be here? Or maybe the site I have up isn't a decent one? Or is the site non-existant? Well just mail me about it then.
