| Ranma
1/2 is a
show/manga created by Takahashi Rumiko. Though the plot line is...
slightly odd, it makes for a great laugh and you'll like the characters
instantly (except maybe Saotome Genma). :P
Basically, the
protagonist is Saotome Ranma, a 16 year old martial artist who spent the
great majority of life training in the arts. Along the way, his idiotic (I
really don't like him) father, Genma drags him to the Cursed Springs in
China called Jusenkyo. Should you fall into one of the many springs there
(and given Murphy's Law, Ranma and his dad DID fall in), you get turned
into whatever drowned in the spring last whenever hit by cold water. Hot
water changes you back.
NOW, on top of the
fact that Ranma's now cursed to turn into a redhead girl, he managed to
pick up at LEAST 4 contant fiancees, and at LEAST 4 mortal enemies (all of
whom are in some way related/love one of the previously mentioned fiancees)
and his idiotic panda of a father (guess which Spring Genma fell into?)
keeps pushing him to marry Akane, (one of the 4) a tomboy who seems to
like to mallet Ranma over the head at the slightest mistake (ahh...
anime...).
Chaos and mayhem
soon follows, etc. etc. and there's just too much about his life to list,
so I'll stop now. :)
