1) The set up to have Ranma leave is, IMO, pretty
weak and has problems.
Ranma feels such feelings over a woman he doesn't
even know. Maybe it's what
he wants, but he doesn't really connect. I could
almost believe it if he had
some childhood memory *of* his Grandma, but this was
unconvincing.

....

Let me guess, you haven't read the Nodoka introduction
in the manga yet?

2) The travelling money. Sigh. Lots of problems
here. Since when do the
Genma and the Tendo's actually open Ranma's mail?

Since that mail looked like it was bulging with yen
bills.

Ranma's gotten several
letters and none were ever opened this way. 

As I recall, that would be because they were letters
of challenge.

The
"missed" letter that only
Ranma spotted. If a lawyer wrote it (which is a
given, IMO) it's going to be
very noticable. 

"If a lawyer wrote it"

It's doubtful that cash would be

sent, it would probably be
a check or money order.

It was cash.

 And the return address would

have been from a law
firm. 

Will explain this a little more in Chap 3.

*ANY* of these things would have been a

clue-truck to Nabiki or Akane
that this was money from a will and only for Ranma.

Not really. And of course as I have repeatedly said
before, they DON'T KNOW.

It would have been
reprehensible that anyone would just take the money.
Genma might try it, if
no one else had seen it. But around the kitchen
table?

Genma and Sound do a lot of reprehensible things, why
is this one so hard to believe?
 

3) Akane non-reaction to Ranma was fairly
thouroughly covered. It wasn't
Akane, it was a cliche-Akane for author's who don't
like her. 

How so? The others kept using these "Bush Iraq WMD"
style accusations, but gave no evidence of such.


It wasn't even

that nasty of one, but it was the Akane that (even
if just to herself,
kinda) cares for Ranma.

Er, come again?
 

4) Ranma doing almost the exact same thing as the LH
main guy (which I'm
spacing the name right now.) Ranma would react
totally differently, I think.
But I don't know LH that well, so I'm going to leave
it at that.

You need to read the manga.

You REALLY need to read the manga before saying things
like that.

5) As a side note, the thing about LH having bigger
ki-attacks than Ranma?
Not likely, even though I haven't seen that much of
Love Hina. But I think
I'd have remembered hearing something if they rocked
mountains or fought
someone like Saffron or Herb.

What part of "After the Shi Shi Hoko dan arc but
before Nodoka's introduction" did you miss the first
time?

At this point the strongest Ki attack Ranma has
witnessed would be the perfect Shi shi hokodan.

But Love Hina isn't about wacky martial arts, it's
got a different theme.

I know that. That's why I'm using it.
