The running gag was Ranma and Akane both being too stubborn to say that they love each other. Followed by Ranma and Akane's suitors who refuse to move on to find other people to pursuit.

I get that Ranma 1/2 is action comedy, but the running gag just went on too long. It became double annoying that new characters would always pop up to basically do the same thing: try to steal Akane, or Ranma as if they are the only male and female (or Ranma as a female) in that universe.

I heard the ending was awful with the only good report being that Ranma and Akane finally admit their love for each other, but their marriage is ruined by the dummies who just can't move on; no one is healed of their curses, and it'll just be the same endless gag. Why Takahashi decided to end Ranma 1/2 this way is beyond me.

Other gripes that annoyed me was the bizarre sexual jokes that usually involved old men harassing school girls, and how the OVA made nearly every teen girl have adult sized bodies. A lot of kink in Ranma episodes, OVA and movies.

Now the fight scenes were often good, and Ranma learning new techniques was also good. But...it still became too much of a running gag. Everyone in the Ranma 1/2 universe are already on super human strength with Akane being bottom tier (even though she comes across as stronger than normal). Even still, all the fights were mostly good.

I'm giving Ranma 1/2 a 4 out of 10 rating. Had Takahashi decided to do a new chapter after Akane and Ranma's confession, maybe that would have been interesting. To keep the story as is, however...yeah, who wants to go through that running gag again? I don't.

Man, the sequel to Wreck-it Ralph is a long boring mess with bad advice. It also got away from its own rules in the Wreck-it Ralph universe.

In the first movie, a video game character can't leave his arcade to go into other arcades because it'll cause the system to crash aka going turbo. Yet in Ralph Breaks the Internet (which turns out to be an exaggerated title), Vanillape 'goes turbo' to into a mature content internet game - nothing happens to Sugar Rush (yes, the girl who is seen on the game console vanishes from her own game deliberately!)

Ralph is a loyal friend who tried to help Vanillape save her game at first (gets a whole bunch of money for her sake), but he goes too far by buying a virus to stop Vanillape from joining Slaughter Race (a twisted metal, grand theft auto parody, I guess?) The virus feeds off of 'insecurity' and creates a whole bunch of insecure Ralph clones ( because being a caring friend makes you insecure).

Vanillape and the new third wave feminists Disney Princesses help rescue Ralph from the Ralph clones, and...Vanillape goes turbo. She says she'll write back to him from time to time.

Ralph Breaks the Internet was not all that good. More like meh.

I went to watch it because the trailer won me over....and also I had a looong morning.

Spoilers - what made TTG surprisely good is that the team capitalized on what everybody hates about the show, and it included some of what the original fans liked about the first Teen Titans. At one part during a few fight scenes with Ssssslaaade, it reminded me of the good old days before the Titans turned into morons. The fight scenes (even with some goofiness added) were good.

What I don't like is that DC really decided to keep the Titans as morons. And of course there were a lot of potty jokes and inappropriate butt-dances. Kids found it funny, but...oh well.

The story was actually alright. I liked the movie surprisely, and I'll only watch it this one time.

I loved the opening, and I was willing to give RTMNT a chance. I watched one of...three episodes, and I was hoping for the series to be great. Not so. I stopped on the third episode. It's purely comedy, there are eleven minute episodes, and its more for children - which is good for the kiddos, but this TMNT is far too goofy with random plots.

The characters all appear to be out of place. Splinter is fat, lazy, and rude. 'This' April is fun, but she is her own character...meaning she should have been a new character altogether. Nothing about this new April reminds me of any other April incarnation there was.

Raph is simply not leader material. The other turtles...it's hard to give a critique because as I said, these turtles are all out of character. I'm barely interested in watching the 4th episode. Just a huge disappointment.
