Well, I got around to reading Neko-philia, and it was a blast.
Very fast-paced and fun. Im suspending my disbelief though and
so Im not going to bring up characterization...the only comment
Im making is...Ranma as a Neko-philiac reminds me of Elmyra
from Tiny Toons....this is scary.
Thank you. The out-of-character bits for Ranma were meant to
indicate his growing mental instability...
(whose giving Shampoo another chance...what will she come
up with next?)
One notion I toyed with...She decides that Ranma's failure to
fully appreciate the need to follow Amazon customs is the major obstacle
to his agreeing to marry her, so she comes up with a method to get him to
believe that Amazon customs are right and natural. Unfortunately, the
delivery is miscarried and Akane gets zapped instead. Akane starts
taking the nearest example of an Amazon warrior (guess who) as a template
for her new persona....
SKJAM!
