Sigh.
Ancient joke, new setting. ^_^

Heh. It does, doesn't it?
Ever wonder what they teach in some anime schools...? ^_^
Hey, I bought it. ^_~

He should just sniff it, recoil in horror and fail her.
Then he'd get double duty for not grading things thoroughly. ^_^

Interesting way of putting it.
And Belldandy's... the exception that proves the rule! ^_^
So... would this make Kasumi an exception as well? I wouldn't necessarily
consider her a minor character. Plus, she's pretty important, as without
her, the Tendo home would be forced to eat (blecch!) Akane's cooking. ^_^

Heh. Pure evil.
A reformed tentacle monster teaching that sort of curriculum...

Nifty
I needed some way to get the setup right. ^_^

Well, that is one way to fight back. :)
Who needs magical girls when we've got Darth Vader on our side, eh? ^_^

Heh
One problem with the Neko-ken thing is I think people
take it WAAAY too seriously. I mean, surely he's had
tougher martial arts training than that.
I haven't READ that episode or seen it, but given the
kind of series that Ranma 1/2 is from what I HAVE
read and seen, it's not the sort of thing to be taken
darkly. I suppose you could, but it's generally a comedy
series, interspaced with dramatics, and talking about
tossing a ten-year-old Ranma into a pit of starving
cats seems...
Well, it illicits a snicker from me, but maybe I've got
a twisted sense of humor.
Are we going to get to see why Genma is so afraid of s-s-squirrels?

True
And they don't, do they?

YOu have to admit, discipine is well maintained here.
With Vader responsible for school discipline, I'd imagine he runs
a tight ship. ^_^

Heh. Definitely didn' see that one coming.
It's the logical conclusion after foreshadowing with a two-by-four. ^_^

Heh. At first I didn't like the SW intrusion, but the end made up for
it.
I figure I'll squeeze out all the Star Wars and other school jokes I can
so I can get on with the plot a little later. So, don't mind me, just
trying some cheap humor until I can get all of the junk out of my system
and get back to work.
Not sure how much you can milk that gag, though. I suppose we'll see.
There's enough material for a couple more good jokes, then it'll just
fade off into the background.
Though I admit, it'd be interesting to see Ranma face off with Vader. He
probably wouldn't be much of a match here, but I wonder how Ranma, the
Saffron-killer, would fare.
So far so good. Enjoy Nuke Em and Sailor Stylin a little more, but this
isn't bad. It's enjoyable.
Yeah, this is the rough draft. It's at least passably funny and
enjoyable...
(What I call 'rough' has gone through I don't know how many prereaders,
but I'm still not happy with it...)
The revised copy (when completed and spitshined) ought to be able to
make your head explode and chew your own limbs off, etc. The same
goes for NETTG 10-2.
I'm a little over half done on another Stylin' section, and the same with
Heart of Sugar... And I've got about two scenes more or less done
on Mix and Match...
I'm currently stuck on GAILR and NETTG, but I'm sure with a little
work, I'll get past it. I always do.
Plus, I've got Neverwinter Nights to worry about... AND Legend of
Dragoon, the Salmon of Doubt, and a whole bunch of Pratchett
stuff.
I DID finish Dragon Warrior 7 and Final Fantasy Tactics, though.
Talk about long games...
But, the soonest thing that can be expected is another Stylin' section.
Thanks for the commentary!
