I'm reprinting the comments that I sent before because I see the same
problems.

  Just like in part 1, I find major problems with plot and character
development.  Why does Ranma stay in female form all the time?  When did he
stop regarding it as a curse?  Why is Ranma so laid back?  Is this really
the same Ranma who never fails to make the wrong remark at the worst time? 

  Why would anyone let three students without personal assets adopt a
child?  That is a much greater barrier than the question of gay or lesbian
parents.  And does Ranma realize that he has committed a  kidnapping when
he snuck Ariana out?  If she is ever tracked down, not only will Ranma, and
possibly Ukyou and Kasumu, face kidnapping charges, but they would lose
Makoto as well.  Also, I just don't see Belldandy and Keiichi agreeing to
take her in so readily.  The involvement of Belldandy (and her sisters)
with a mortal is highly unusual and creates so many problems with both gods
and demons that I don't see them exposing a child to the troubles that
arise from their situation.  Also, to take Ariana in is to risk letting her
find out that Belldandy and family are goddesses, a fact that has even been
hidden from Megumi, Belldandy's prospective sister-in-law.  

  In summary, I simply was not able to suspend my disbelief.
