        Hi ! I'm kind of new here actually (duh!), so this is the first time
that I'm posting here. If you find my manner too harsh, don't hesitate to
say so.

        Anyway . . . although I can't make a judgement on the entire series,
I have to admit that I didn't like Neko-phobia 2 that much. I just think
that the way the author treated the characters were reminiscent of a
darkfic, which I think the subject matter really doesn't deserve. I think
the author was able to "darken" the characters such that they no longer
seemed to be the Ranma characters we all know and love. I know that what
happened to Ranma and Akane was really tragic, but do they have to be
bitches about it (pardon the language). Plus, the lemon bits seemed to serve
no purpose as of yet, they just clog up the works.

        Of course, I'm more of a fan of light-hearted fics set in the normal
Ranma style, except when tere is death involved of course, so I may be a bit
biased. Also, if what I commented on was what the author actually intended
in the first place, my apologies. I just don't think the atmosphere suits
the plot, that's all.

        BYE!!!
