abuseI got some complaints. One, in the game, Riku (being played by ranma) turns to the darkness thinking he can help karia, but what is wrong here is that he didn't turn to the darkness after the sepration from Sora. Also, Sora didn't realize that Riku was on the wrong side until the whale level. You didn't do that.

abuseAh... Now THIS is more like it! ^_^

This was a fantastic conclusion to an awesome story! You had Ryoga sound very "Ranma-ish" while he was searching for Akane, heh heh. Yeah, it isn't much of a surprise that Ryoga has become better than Ranma over the course of his travels, but it's also nice to see that Ranma isn't taking this sitting down (he seems determined to become as good as or better than his rival).

The very end with the dinosaur was truly priceless; couldn't have been done better!

Well, so this is the end (more or less). I have to hand it to you; despite a few little things I disagreed with you on, you managed to weave an extremely entertaining and well-written story! (I'm a pretty tough critic, so that's a big compliment to you.) This will be staying in my favorites for the long haul. Good luck on your sequel!

abuseWhirling toward a conclusion...

Shampoo and Ranko chest-bumping? You know, there are lots of people out there who would pay good money to see that (myself probably included). Hahaha!

Happosai is the core of the Darkness?! O_O Well, I guess that really shouldn't come as much of a surprise...

The end-fight WAS well-written, but I was slightly disappointed with it. Happosai was no more of a challenge than Sephiroth; probably less, in fact. I hate to sound like a broken record here, but it stems from having too many heroes with too much power. Oh, well. All of this is just my opinion; this is YOUR fic, so 'tis natural that it should be ended as YOU see fit. I'll give the Epilouge a read in just a second here. Good job overall!

abuseGeez, you've been busy lately! Alright, here goes for this chapter: You did a masterful job with the explanation in the first paragraph. It covered why Ryoga had been stuck in gal-mode, why the kiss cured him, why the kiss woke Shampoo up, ect. Things were getting so confused for a while there that I thought "untangling" the plot twists would prove near-impossible, but you managed to do it nicely, and in only one paragraph. Thumbs up! ^_^

The whole "sharing Ryoga" thing really caught me off guard. I thought Ryoga just liked Ranko, not loved her. Also, since when does Shampoo share?! Oh well; you warned of some OOC-ness. On the other hand, I can see the temptation for Ryoga: having two beauties fawning (instead of fighting) over him! Hahaha... Poor Han; he's really becoming this story's punching bag. I was wondering when/if Sephiroth would show up. If he was smarter, he would have shown up earlier, when they still had a slight vestige of weakness left. Ryoga made a smart decision leaving Shampoo and Ranko behind. Fighting monsters is hard enough without doing it in the grip of a double-glomp chokehold! Hahaha!

In conclusion, great chapter! My only complaints are that one of your paragraphs was ridiculously huge, and that the last thing Ryoga needs right now is more backup (this story has already exceeded its voice-actor budget, if you know what I mean). I'll give the other chapters a read 'n review soon.

abuseSora, Riku: ((set off confetti bombs))
Ranma: ((glaring at Malik for some odd reason))
Malik: ((staring back at Ranma))
Me: Great ending! Oh man, you gotta bring in the rest of the KH cast for the sequal! That would be a hoot!
Ranma and Malik: ((still staring at each other, not blinking))
Y.Bakura: ((rolls eyes, goes to plan his next prank against Atemu))
Me: Ignore the God Slayer and the Grave Keeper...they're havng a staring contest. Well, like I said earlier, great ending, and if there's a sequal, we can't wait!
Sora and Riku: ((celebrating the end with a huge party, inviting friends))

abusefirst thing first, is that you might want to seperate a characters speech, action, or when another character start talking. instead of trying to bog it all down to couple of paragraphs. other then that i still found this fic enjoyable to read.

abuseThis story has been my all time favorite Ranma crossover. just out of curiosity is this a Ryoga/Shampoo or Ryoga/Ranko or Shampoo/Ryoga/Ranko pairing cause I don't mind if it is. Why should Ranma get all the girls and I hope everything turns out for the better.

abuseSo far I love this story because Ryoga is my all time favorite character and I'm glad you made him the hero, you're my hero.

Though I'm confused on a couple of things, not minding his female curseas much, his childhood, Shampoo's reawakening, Ryoga regaining his male form? I hope you can clear that up.

I hope the next world they travel to is the Little Mermaid's cause I kinda wanna see if Ryoga will become a merman or a mermaid. Please update soon and keep up the great work.

abuseGreat chapter; probably one of the best so far! I like the move back towards humor/innocence. You accomplished it while keeping the overall tone serious, so "bon travaille" for that. Heh heh. To quote Arnold, the shadow knight Donald fought was "a leetle girly-man"; evil help is so hard to find these days... The fights in this chapter were very well-done, as usual. I'm not sure which video game you are referring to in this chapter. The show "FLCL" had a character (sort of) called "the Lord of Fear", but he was a giant baseball, so... yeah.

95 percent of this chapter didn't really seem "rushed" to me, but the last paragraph DID. Since Shampoo's reawakening and Ryoga's regained manhood are such important plot developments, I wish you would consider expanding on what happened in far greater detail (either at the beginning of the next chapter or by "reposting" this chapter with the added content).

Speaking of "rush jobs"... Take a little piece of advice from someone who learned the hard way: NEVER post a chapter just to "keep up with demand"! Wait until you're good and ready; everyone who is willing to read the whole thing will also be willing to wait a few extra days. Well that's my little (okay, not so little) advice column. I have only one thing left to say: keep it the great work!

abuseVery good chapter! You portrayed both Peter Pan and Captain Hook (the original pimp; just look at that hat) with syle and class. Bravo! I've come to the conclusion that you're drawing on some anime/game source that I'm not familiar with, because I have no idea what a "trance" is. Apparently, it's some sort of (power-upgrading) transformation, and I suspect it's Final Fantasy-based. (If you have the time, please email me and fill me in on what's going on.)

Despite the protagonists' huge amount of power and skill, you're doing a good job of keeping them challenged. However, I AM wondering how the "final confrontation" could be a challenge with the ridiculously powerful Bahomet around... All-in-all, great job, and keep up the excellent writing!

abuseTim Burton, the Heartless, and Sailor Scouts (OH MY)! Heh heh. This chapter was great; the Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite movies, and you did an admirable job portraying its characters. It was also refreshing to see one of the "in-world" characters (Jack) playing a big part; the last chapter where they had such a large role was the one with Tarzan. Great job, and DO enjoy your fic. Everyone else is! ^_^
