Well, at least we've got some activity on the ML again.


Thoughts:  I for one want to see the kunoichi girls discover that
they've made bad assumptions about the Nerima characters and have it
come back to bite them in their collective asses.

Grandma *says* she's sorry about her bad relationship with Nodoka,
but the editing of the videotape would seem to belie that.

Ranma is way too weepy for my tastes.  Thought.  Maybe Eiko is
interfering with his emotions to make him more pliable?

So why *doesn't* Pluto know the Gates are sentient?  They've had
3000+ years to make this apparent to her.  And honestly, I think
Pluto would pick the Crystal Tokyo future because it required the
*least* number of innocent deaths.

Note that Eiko carefully did not tell Ranma that eliminating Crystal
Tokyo would kill Chibi-Usa.  Sounds to me like "she" wants a dupe,
rather than a free-willed guardian.  And that ribbons vs. bows
deception clearly indicates that Eiko is willing to fudge the truth
to get what she wants. 

"Eta"?  Nodoka better have some really good backup on that, because
you just don't say that if you don't really mean it.

Usagi spontaneously transforming in front of her mother, and Luna
blabbing like a madwoman were the best bits in the chapter.  Keep
those, though the protocols stuff was a teensy overdone.

For what it's worth,
SKJAM!
