With Grace and Elegance Ranma 1/2 / Girls und Panzer

Tie them with welded chains to an old anchor after drugging them and do it over the mariana trench.
Couple of issues with this
1. You are polluting
2. Pandas are endangered
3. I don't think murder is a valid option for dealing with them, besides Genma would probably pull off the way of slightly lost scuba diver or something.
4. Kasumi may object to the murder of Soun.

Honestly it would be better to stick them under the noses of someone that they fear, Cologne, Happosai, and Nodoka have been shown as able to cow them into behaving in the short term.
Perhaps Happosai could be convinced to return the favour of sealing them into a cave for a few decades.
 
I'd just rather they weren't involed. The ship hasn't left port yet, iirc. So dump them on the docks/police when it leaves. With Ranma glaring at them as the ship goes out to sea.

This is the day after the stop at the dock. This ship has left port.

Edit: The ship the size of a city I might add. They have their own Police Force.

Edit 2: St. Gloriana's is basically what happens when New York decides it wants to be British despite not having much idea beyond Tea and Biscuits what constitutes British.

The ship was never in port, technically speaking, but good point they're still fairly close to Japan so the local cops won't have any problem handing the two trespassers to Tokyo police.

Actually larger than nearly all cities. it would have a deck area of somewhere between Jakarta and Delhi urban area i.e larger than the current third largest city in the world.
 
Glad to see more of this. The ones I want to see the most of your stories right now are this, 'The Crown of Neverwinter', 'The Taste of Peaches', and 'Dreaming of Fairies'. Especially The Crown of Neverwinter and Dreaming of Faeries.

Was curious about the actual size so did a quick google. Apparently the Ooarai ship (Zuikaku?) is 7.6km long. Ark Royal is 13.24km long. I knew they were a few KM long, didn't think they were quite that big though.

I really wanna see Gemma and Soun A: Jailed, B: Break out of Jail, C: Come back for Ranma yet again, lather rinse repeat. Seriously, it could be a great running gag. Seriously.
 
Ranma examined the smiling green-haired girl for a moment. "Magic?" The girl blink then nodded.

"Oh come on!" Shiori huffed and leaned back in her seat, "Magic doesn't exist!"

"Yes it does," Ranma, Kasumi, and to her surprise, the girl with the booking, all chorused.

Shiori paused to stare at all of them with clear disbelief. Setsuna just continued smiling mysteriously before going back to a notebook she had pulled out.

"Oh, so you believe in magic?" the girl with the book asked, adjusting her spectacles.

"We're from Nerima," Ranma replied. The girl paused, then marked her place in the book.

"My condolences," she said with a bow, once she had closed the book in her lap.
So I was re-watching the anime and magic is well known enough that there is a magic elective in Ōarai high. Either their school is special to have an actual magic elective or it is more wide known.

Could be stage magic. Also it's Ōarai; they have freaking ninjutsu as an elective (reason why the History club is standing on the giant leaves and using reeds to breath while searching for the Stug).

Might not be stage magic. Probably isn't stage magic, either. I mean, for decades in the 19th century the occult was a near outright obsession for the upper class of Europe.
 
The redhead blinked at her. "Traumatize? Xian Pu spent six months chasing me across China," Shiori stare went blank, "with that damned sword because of her village's laws. I'm the one who should be traumatized."


This is a really minor nitpick, but has been a pet peeve of mine in Ranma fanfiction for a while.

Her name in Chinese is 珊璞, and there's not really a reasonable romanization system or dialect in which the first character would be written as "Xian". [In Pinyin romanization it's Shān Pú, but it's also not clear if it should really be two words like that.] It's just something that fanfic writers started doing at some point, based on an arbitrary idea that it looks more Chinese.

[EDIT: the source I first copied from had 撲 for the second character, this one has more reliable sources backing it up]

Just noticed where Akane is going (again). Right with Itsumi Erika. Suddenly, its a bad time to be in the Black Forest.

Can the world survive their tempers colliding?

Hey, I want to nitpick on that sentence too (but can't be bothered to find it again in the chapter, so just look at the quote in the quoted post). Two voice changes within one sentence really shouldn't be done. The first quote should end with a period as the intermission is not related to the speech. Then give the intermission its own sentence and again start the second half of the speech as its own sentence again.
 
Sorry for disturbing a dormant thread, but I haven't read a good (or any) Ranma fanfic in quite a while. Just started reading this.

I am a big fan of DSR I'll admit, and Kasumi is a sorely underutilized character.
I'm not sure what "DSR" is, but I'm pretty sure you've misspelled "Nabiki".

I've only finished page 2, and I'll stop now, because I have work tomorrow. Excitedly looking forward to shenanigans.

"Saotome! A driver moves a tank from INSIDE!"

"Yeah, but my way is faster"

DSR: Desperately Seeking Ranma, a Ranma fic by PixelWriter that can be found here.
 
DSR is basically Taylor Varga style of writing (or maybe the other way around) - it's quite long and somewhat repetitive, and the main cast is hyper-competent and likes to troll both their friends and enemies. The dialog style is very similar.

It's mainly Ramnaverse, technically crossed over with basically every magical girl universe out there but in a deconstructionist way, it's not treated seriously.

I'd recommend it as definitely worth a read, but you should know what you're getting into.

The word "Taylor" implies it's related to Worm. I've been purposefully avoiding all things Worm, so I probably don't know what I'm getting into.

"I'm the heir? Since when?" Ranma asked. This was news to her.

"You didn't know?" The head servant sounded surprised. "I see, well you see the Hayashida family follows a Matrilineal inheritance model due to the Family's school being for women. While Miss Nodoka and Lady Hayashida had a falling out Lady Hayashida never disinherited her. Despite pressure from others in the family. As her only child you are the heiress to the family, and always have been."
This puts Nodoka's insistence on "Make my kid a Man Among Men" in a somewhat different light. In the "She's just as crazy as any other Neriman, not any less so" kind of light.

"Now," Michiru said leaning over to the door. "Watch." She tapped a seam half way up the door before drawing the hand up three. "Seam, three panels up. Press gently up and slide right." She pushed the panel up and slid it right. It disappeared into the wall revealing an open space with a large brass ring. She grabbed the ring and pulled it out before turning right. "Pull towards you, turn until it clicks." As it turned the base of it moved to reveal a card reader. "Swipe your card."

She looked to Ranma who, after a moment, swiped her card. The reader beeped and the keypad lit up. Michiru typed in a code. The screen flashed and there was a loud click before the door unlocked and swung open gently. "And there we go." She pulled the door shut. "Now let's go through it again."
"The Lady wishes you to be informed that breakfast will be in ten minutes in the dining room. Please be there miss." The servant, a young woman whose voice Ranma couldn't recognize, said through the thick wooden door.
The latter quote implies that the door is not thick enough to block sound, but reading the former quote I expected it to be thick enough to block sound. Also, there was a bit before the former quote, talking about something being merged seamlessly into the wall, and being difficult to notice unless one knew what to look for. It might have been talking about the security panel, and I simply read too fast. But still, I have a feeling it talked about the door. In that case, the latter quote implies that the servants know where the door is, even though masking the door is done to make as few people as possible know where the door is. If - if - you decide to rewrite these parts, the simplest fix would be to have the maid talk through the intercom directly from the kitchen in the latter quote.

Anyway, I'm choosing to read the "ridiculous security" part as an indicator that, as any martial art in Ranma setting, this Sensha-do school is just as kooky. And NOT as a way to highlight the specialness of the MC by giving 'em the bestest and the specialest of rooms.

Also feel free to speculate on the future~ (I love hearing your ideas and thoughts!)
Don't mind if I do, then. Baseless speculation #1: Gloriana aquires an urban legend about Tuxedo Mask Khaki kHunk. If your tank has broken down and/or stuck somewhere, far away from the rest, you need to get out, and say thrice, in the teariest voice possible: "Oh, if only there was someone to save us!" This will summon the kHunk, who wears Khakis and a faint scent of strawberry soap. He'll move your tank to a better position and disappear. Also, all eyewitnesses report that he's dreamy, despite being covered in grease.
