the only problem is... the author seemed to be

without breaking a sweat.
Not just clean their clocks, but oil them, tune them up, and set them
to the right time zone... <grin> Ranma pummels 8-headed *dragons*,
effeminate dragon descendants, godlings and entire small towns (or so
it seems sometimes). A half-dozen leeches shouldn't even slow him
down.
Plus what with Sunnydale in the offing... I see plenty of chances for Ranma
to insult Buffy... Comments like "Chestless tomboy", "Uncute foreign martial
arts hack" and the like spring to mind.... and events like Akane laughing
nervously when the Scooby gang discovers how incredibly strong she is...
thinking she's another Slayer... and Ranma clearing it up with comments
about how she just naturally has the strength of an ogre...that it's nothing
supernatural... and that if they want to see Slaying.. they just need to
let her cook them dinner.
<snort> I like this. *You* ought to write something along these lines!
Other issues like the dialog of the Vamps (sorry Vamp... but the "shall we
dine" comment just made my eye twitch... the vamps on Buffy haven't been
that stereotyped in ages.
Except when they wanted to be -- viz "Dracula" a couple seasons back.
