Ranma ½
"Ranma ½" is a classic anime about Ranma Saotome, a skilled martial artist. He and his father, Genma, visit a cursed spring in China. Falling in turns them into whatever drowned in the spring. In Ranma's case, he becomes a girl when splashed with cold water. Hot water reverses the transformation temporarily.
In Japan, Ranma and Genma move in with the Tendo family: Soun Tendo and his three daughters, Akane, Nabiki, and Kasumi. They arranged for Ranma to marry one of the Tendo sisters to help their dojo.
As Ranma and Akane deal with their unique engagement, they meet other martial artists, rivals, and quirky characters with special abilities. The series follows their adventures, funny misunderstandings, and martial arts fights.
"Ranma ½" is famous for its silly humor, crazy situations, and how Ranma keeps switching genders, causing funny and romantic problems. Ranma's relationships with Akane and characters like Shampoo, Ukyo, and Ryoga add to the romantic and comedic aspects of the series.
