Lots of nice C&C on this one.  I should write all-Ranma from now

on. (Especially since nobody's spotted the A-ko reference in this

chapter...)



From: KLEPPE@execpc.com (Gary Kleppe)

Of course we readers know that it wasn't really Akane who pissed

Shampoo off...



    Fortunately, this Akane is such a genius that she doesn't have to

check her conclusions against the facts.  (What else is different about

her?)



Heh. Lucky Ranma wasn't there to make that particular observation...



    Lots of lines and scenes are getting lifted and shuffled around.  As

Ranma was the star of his own series (And isn't of this one), he tends

to loose out the most. (First encounter with the younger Kuno.  Shampoo

sleeping over, etc.)



He's being awfully friendly. Does he not know that Shampoo is now

after Ranma?



    This story is like Stimpy, it has vast reserves of ignorance.



    Soun doesn't even know that Shampoo has pledged to kill his

daughter.  (It seems Genma neglected to mention this).



    Ranma and Ryouga don't even suspect that the other has a

transformation, etc.



    It's rather easy to keep track of what everybody knows, cause they

don't know much.



Actually there are some fairly easy ways the Tendos could figure out

who the real one is, I would think.



    Unfortunately, the man they will ask to judge the issue is not yet a

member of the Tendo family.
