I am most definitely doing part II. It's going to be longer, though, and harder to do, since there are no scripts for me to take quotes from. And my wrists need a break from this horrible typing angle.
Hah. Wish I'd have known people were questioning about the Soul of Ice bit. Lesse how coherent I can make myself to support the standpoints.
So. Ranma is not certifibly sane. No character in Ranma 1/2 is. But we ignore that kind of thing, because lolmedy. No rly. But there are limits and points of clarity in all of the whacky martial arts actions, points where Ranma sees something decidedly foul, and acts to adjust it.
Canon-wise, Ryouga's the first example, and the most important one. Ryouga is a berserker, plain and simple. He is not one to care for what's in his way when he's trying to beat life out of his opponent. He has torn through poles, fences, masonry, trees, mountains, and people to get to Ranma. Yes, people. And that's what Ranma doesn't like about Ryouga (not that it stops him from using it to his advantage in a fight). One of the biggest incidents of the early series is that Ranma trying to contain Ryouga's rage (and then up and nearly losing it himself saving Akane) gets Akane's hair cut. And it could

I think we did a pretty good job with the leadup, honestly. (And you're just making me want to watch your canon, damn you.) I think they might get there, with the training, but it'll take awhile. Ken has always had a temper, it's just part of his personality. The trick is to get him back to a place where he can control it, and where it won't be triggered unless someone is hurting Omi his friends

And yeah, I kinda thought that, too. I just have to remember Ranma's supposed to be ruining Ken's hour/day/week with practical jokes and forged propositions for sex. And you do know I have links to the Ranma manga, right? 8D
Also, Side B is where Aya has fistsex with Botan--I think that was his name--right?
It got partway through episode 8 before the download cut out. You'll have to wait 'til I've finished downloading Hikaru no Go, though, which will take forever (I watch too many shows, ahaha).
Well, most of them are insane. They're also very good looking. I need to stop using this icon so much.
I totally need to read/listen to these drama CDs now, because nothing I've ever read about the series went this deep in, especially with Ken. Just. Wow. ♥
He's insaaaaane. I don't understand how people call him boring. Seriously. They must not have watched the series closely enough, because I can see him going nuts. It's not a sudden, "he's boring so boom crazy!" It's well developed, and slow, and one of the things I love about WK is that they develop the characters like that. The show would be nothing without the character development.
Let me know what you think when you get through them. ^_~

I'm beginning to suspect, however, that you are merely fond of claiming that all your friends are insane.
.............oh god. Turnbull, in my brain.
