After weeks of hard work and double checking things, redoing many sections and just overall improving everything about the site, I'm proud to unveil what I expect to be the final version of Ranma ½ Perfect Edition. You'll notice the design is based on Mason's Tomobiki-cho, which we also used as our basis for the recent redesign of The Inuyasha Companion.

Otherwise continue to check Rumic World for new news. Its been a pleasure working on this site for the last eight and a half years, and I hope it continues to bring as much joy to its visitors as I had in making it.

September 10- Sorry for the delay in updates. Well, there just isn't a lot to do other than summarize manga chapters. But the delay came from 1) Starting graduate school (ugh), and 2) Hurricane Katrina (Rumic World is based outside of Biloxi and we lost touch with our family for a few days). So I've added Densuke to the Characters section, and the doctor to the minor manga characters page, updated the New Releases, and summarized the first two chapters of volume 33.

May 30- I finished the summary for volume 32.

May 29- I added a few more chapters to the summary of volume 32, and updated the new releases.

May 28- A big, big change has come to Perfect Edition, as I am sure anyone reading this has noticed. We've moved from the main page, to a subsection, so that Rumic World could move front and center.

June 19- I added a few new voices to the minor characters listing (Priest from the OAVs, Antique Salesman from the third film, etc) and a few new CD ISBN numbers to the FAQ.

June 4- No sooner do I add the two new CDs the other day and I already have found the track listings. I also have the listing for the 1993 Music Calendar if anyone has the cover art I'll stick that up. I also did some FAQ revisions and CD release date corrections too.

December 8- I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I am about to take my final exams and get my Bachelors degree (yay!). I added the summary for the new Graphic novel to the Manga Summaries section.

November 2- I added the rest of the information about the various manga volumes, such as Japanese titles, but did not summarize them. So those are now available in the Manga section. Volume 26 of the English manga should be out soon and I will have that summary up.

September 13- I added the newest graphic novel to the New Releases section since I forgot to do that before.

September 6- I finally got to summarize the new Ranma "graphic novel only" stories that are in Viz Volume 23. So I updated the manga summaries section (Vol. 25 Japanese numbering system remember). Nice to see Miss Hinako and Shinnosuke finally arriving on our shores.

August 21- And in the end... my final semester of undergraduate school begins and the final volume of Ranma ½ is released. After following this series since 7th grade I'm sad to see it end. It's been a great ride. I added the final four episode titles to the Anime Summaries and added it to the New Releases section.

February 23- No update, but I need to mention that I am going on vacation, and will not be back until Tuesday the 27th, so Monday's midi will be posted then. (I'm about to go pick up the new Ranma issue, nothing better than reading a new Ranma manga while on vacation, right?) Happy Mardi Gras!

I recommend that you buy all the Ranma ½ tapes, but especially "Nightmare on Happosai Street". Both episodes have excellent animation, voice acting, and plots.

August 1- We updated the main for August. We also updated the "News and New Releases" with some news from Japan.

July 31- Well, we changed the site title back to "Ranma ½ Perfect Edition" from "Furinkan.com". The whole change in the first place was an attempt to get a little credibility and good link positioning, specifically at Anipike. That didn't work... so the old title is back.

If you read through this section, you'll noticed that today is Perfect Edition's 2nd birthday. Thank you to everyone that's visited and supported us. Especially recently, because we're growing by leaps and bounds each day, and we couldn't do this without your support. We're currently working on a new section to help establish this site as the pre-eminent Ranma ½ site on the internet. After that, all we'll need is the publicity (which is the hard part). So once again, let me say "thank you" to everyone that's helped support us over the past two years.
