Where to begin... Ranma 1/2 was my first unedited anime.  So, naturally, "Ja Ja Uman ni Sasenaide" was really my introduction to anime music.  At first, I thought it was awesome (I should also mention that I was addicted to Ranma 1/2 at the time).  Today, what with the yappa-pa and all, it still manages to make me crack a smile.  Really, it's an anime classic.  "Little Date" is another really catchy song, with some cool instruments.  What I tend to notice about Ranma songs, especially this one, is they sound like they're sung by little girls.  "Omoide ga Ippai" is really, really mellow.  It's pretty boring, so I don't usually listen to it.  "Zettai Part 2" (out of curiousity, where is part 1?) I liked at lot at first, but then it started to remind me of scary circus music.  "Chikyuu Orchestra" is a very catchy tune with this whole weird brass section going on.  The singer is pretty cool, he actually sounds a lot like Ranma.  "Mou Nakanaide" is a really, really good song, partly because the singer's voice isn't so first soprano (wow, I used a music term!), and partly because it has nice lyrics, AND partly because the instruments are very fast and fun to listen to.  Then comes "Love Seeker Can't Stop It" which is a rock song very heavy on percussion.  It's nothing special, but it's good.  The last track, "Ranma-kun wa Hentai" isn't a song, really just a dialogue between Ranma and Akane.  What a way to finish off this CD.  Anyway, I would only reccomend you purchase this if you are a fan of Ranma, or you really like happy music with high pitched singers.  Otherwise you're wasting your time.
