PEOPLES' FAVORITE RANMA EPISODES

Well, despite my feeling this was a low-turnout poll, I
seem to have quite a few different episodes here!

Drum roll please...

In third place, with two votes each, we have a four-way tie:

First series, Eps. 2 and 3. First appearance of Furinkan High
School and Kunou, who falls in love with Ranma-chan

First series, Eps. 11 to 13. Kodachi introduced, finishing
with the "new gymnastics" duel between her and Ranma-chan.

Second series, Ep. 84. Ranma accidentally puts on a magic
band-aid that makes him try to pick up every girl in sight,
much to the delight of Ukyou and Shampoo, since that includes them.

Second series, Ep. 113. Akane hurts her ankle.
(I *think* this is right, I haven't seen this episode and
I may be confusing two votes.)


In second place, with three votes each, another four-way tie:

First series, Ep. 4. Nabiki sells pictures to Kunou.

First series, Eps. 9 and 10. Akane deals with her loss of hair
and we discover the existence of P-chan.
(This grouping is a little odd, I'll explain why in a second.)

Second series, Eps 7 to 9.  Introducing Mikado and Azusa, the
Golden Skating Pair!
(This one was in first place till the very end.)

Second series, Ep. 31.  Ranma gets klonked on the head and
thinks he's a girl.
(My personal favorite.)

And now, the winner(Shourisa nado inai/TatakaiSSSKKKKKkkkkk

Not *that* winner!

Ahem.  In first place, with a whopping four votes (Haven't I
read that somewhere else, recently?):

First series, Eps. 7 and 8:Introducing the eternally lost boy, Ryouga!

Explanatory note:Three people voted for all four episodes 
introducing Ryouga, and one voted for just the first two.

The only comment I can really make is that, even though the
first series had only 18 episodes, a third of them got at least
one vote.  I think the people who did them must have had something
on the ball those who made the later ones didn't always have.

Runners-up(Only one vote):
First series, Eps. 1,6.
Second series, Eps. 2,19,30,48-50,51,92,110-111,142-143

Note:Some of these are on my "Long list" of good episodes.

Mmm, what else?

Ah:
From: mliu@sdcc13.UCSD.EDU (Panda )

        Ryoga and his pink piggy friend.
        Ryoga in the wild wild west.
        Ryoga and his black/white dog eps.
        Ryoga in search of Ranma.
        Ryoga in the Water Resistant Soap Eps.

                                Na Ni Ja Wa Panda From China
                                -Kasumi's Pet
                                -Defender of all non-main character anime
                                 female.
                                -P-chan/Ryoga fan association.
                                -Anime minor character union.

Way off on his own, as usual.
(Although I do like the anti-change soap episode myself.)

This has nothing to do with my poll, but-
Hey, Panda, do the second and fourth lines below your name 
include Kurumi and Manami? And, does the second one mean you
don't defend Otonashi Kyouko?  If you don't, I will.  :-)

Anyway, thanks to everyone who participated, including:

Avi Melman
Hitoshi Doi
Panda
Jim Ogle/Kansas Jim
Rey Kanzaki
Lady Johanna Constantine
Robert Deloura(When's the next manga translation coming out?)
Harold Melanson.
Jason Fubler Harvey
Justin Bahk
Andy Combs

See you next poll!
