This morning, I was poking around the internet, and I stumbled across this fact/opinion:
QuoteRyoko's first appearance in anime was actually a single frame in episode 126 of Ranma ½.
So, I started digging. If Wikipedia is correct, then that means that Ryoko, or perhaps an inspiration for Ryoko's appearance is somewhere in
Season 7, Episode 7, "
Run Away With Me, Ranma!". However, Wikipedia is a bit confusing here, because I looked a second time, and there's a second column of really high episode numbers, that's NOT in sequential order. If I'm looking for episode 126 there, then I need to watch
Season 6, Episode 11, "
A Cold Day in Furinkan" to try to find this single frame of Ryoko.
Ranma 1/2 was the first anime I watched (beyond Vampire Hunter D, I believe, and I remember watching seasons 1, 2, and 6, before I fell head over heels for Tenchi Muyo! It's possible that I wouldn't have seen Ryoko's image if she was included in Season 6, because I didn't know about Ryoko while I was obsessed with Ranma 1/2.
Looks like I'm going to have to watch some Ranma! ^-^ Just so I can find a needle in a haystack. Yup, I'm crazy... :nosweat:
