It's interesting - my sister and I have both been watching "Ranma" while waiting for the rest of RK. Ranma has very simple art, almost just line-drawings, I don't know the right terms.

Well, Kenshin artwork is so lavish we were debating this morning whether the art style had changed! It hasn't, it's just our eyes had forgotten how beautiful it was.

All of Season Two is one long story-arc. So there are a number of "buildup" episodes, and a number of episodes that don't have much physical action but are really important, and then there's an enormous payoff. Figure 32 episodes, at 20+ minutes of story each... that's like as long as the LotR trilogy!

Got to go now. See you all tonight!

Later folks. Gotta get some work done myself.

But, afore I go a bit of shameless self promotion.

I haven't watched Ranma yet, but the cover pic looks more like "standard" anime than Kenshin to my eye. Kenshin gets quite detailed with the action shots--for instance that opening sequence with Kenshin fending off the group of Ninjas looks like it may have been shot live before being cartooned (which is an old Disney technique--and also what Bakshi did in LotR, BTW, LOL!)

Glad to hear the storyline is so long! I was starting to wonder that in Season 1 because this Ninja storyline seems like it's going longer than I expected.

Have a good day!--talk to you when you get back!
