Excellent series! A must see. Probably the longest running TG
series on TV, with movies too!
Ranma is a teen martal artist who goes around the world training
with his father. When in China they visit a cursed spring, when he
falls in one of the pools he finds that he had become the girl that
drown in it. He becomes a woman when splashed with cold water and
returns to his form when dunked with hot.
BTW the first episodes were considered too romantic by the creator
and she forced the company to change the later episodes to feature
more fighting. The first 10 had Ranma tring to cope with the
feelings of being a girl and the advances of an older classmate.

Masterful satire of gender roles and society in general. Most
recomended item on the entire list.

The beginning of this series is excellent--probably a 4, but it
degenerates pretty quickly after eipsode 10 to a 2 or even 1.

Gavin is wrong, all are fun well done stories, though some involve
limited genderswitching by ranma the movies (OAV) are excellent!

I've seen the entire series, except for the final season (season
seven). I have missed one or two OVAs as well. There are also two
actual movies, not just the OVAs. AS for the series degenerating
around episode ten, I agree, it does get somewhat dull at that
point, but you prolly didn't watch the rest of the series. After a
few dull episodes the series quickly picks up with more gender
switches and fighting, also the art style changes quite drastically
from season to season, changing the feel you get from it. Later on
in the series several more characters with similar curses appear,
instead of another gender some turn into animals such as a piglet,
a duck, a cat, and even a a cross between an ox snake and crane, (I
think some other things too). Overall this is a hillarious series
well worth the watch, all my freinds I've shown it to have loved
it, weather they are interested in TF/TG or not.

This is my first time posting on here... Ranma 1/2 has been my
favorite series since the day my friend said it was about a martial
artist who changed from guy to girl and then showed me the first
manga. Since then I have read all the manga and own the entire
series on DVD. Vancent you have to get the last season. THe last
season is one of the best, it includes a return to Jusenkyo, a
fight with his toughest foe ever, and of course... the decision on
what to do with all the love triangles, rhombuses, and circles.

There was an episode called the Jusenkyo Presevation Society, who
kidnaps Shampoo, Mousse, Gemma Saotome, and Ryouga, forces them
into their cursed forms (cat, duck, panda, and pig, aka P-chan),
and then Ranma and Akane go off to rescue their friends with Uukyo.
They meet the enforcer of the group, who is cursed to become a
virtuous priest when splashed with cold water. They are punishing
the cursed people who visited Jusenkyo for violating their rules.

NO offense to Anime fans but although I love the illustration in
Anime, overall, I've never liked the stories and deem them as
silly.
Ranma was sometimes an exception. Up until about the 3rd or 4th
season, I enjoyed the adventures of Ranma but then too much Anime
(Japanese) humor dominated and I lost interest.
Ranma to me though still remains a prime example of good Anime. I
urge any true TG fan to pursue if you haven't already.

One of the major antagonists in the series is Pantyhose Taro, who
is cursed to become a ox/snake/crane creature. Unlike Ranma and the
others who are wanting a cure from their curses, Pantyhose Taro
loves his curse. He makes his lair laden with water traps, so when
Pantyhose Taro kidnaps Akane, Ranma and his father, Shampoo, Uukyo,
and Ryouga go to rescue her. These water traps trigger Ranma's
curse, as well as the other cursed Junsekyo victims. Blame Happosai
for creating Pantyhose Taro.
