Ranma 1/2 What is... it...about?

Hehe, I have no idea what Ranma 1/2 is about but I know it's by the creator of InuYasha so it can't possibly be bad, right? All I know is that it was a cool fighting game and theres a PANDA!! WHEEEEE!! PANDAPANDAPANDAPANDAPANDAPAN... ok, so anyway, what's it about?!

 

Ranma is about a boy who traveled with his dad so he could train in the ways of Martial Arts. One day while training he fell into a little lake thing and now whenever he gets doused with cold water he turns into a girl. The girl's spirit drowned in that little lake 1,000 years ago I think.

Then his dad says he's engaged to some girl so they go to live with them and get the wedding ready but Ranma is totally against it cause he doesn't want to marry a "tomboy" but either way he finds himself falling in love with Akane.

Meanwhile, a lot of other people come after Ranma cause they blame him for THEIR curses (Ranma is also considered cursed). Shampoo turns into a cat (Ranma is afraid of cats), Moose, turns into a goose, and Ryouga (he's in love with Akane) turns into a piglet. And his dad turns into a panda.

It's a romantic comedy kind of thing and less serious than Inuyasha (although Inuyasha is still really funny).

I hope that helped. It's a really good series, what one would expect from Rumiko Takahashi-sensei.

 

Sounds pretty funny, are there any english versions of it? or is it strictly japanese? or just strictly manga or what.

 

Uh, I've watched it in Spanish so it isn't strictly Japanese, but I think there are sutitled Japanese versions available for download. You can read the manga though. Viz is translating it and selling it.

And yes, it is funny ^_^. Everyone's after Ranma in both hate and love. You just gotta see it. If you want, I can scan from my Spanish comic versions, translate them and send them to you. It would be no problem.

 

Wow, are you serious?! I would appreciate that very much, that I would!! What do you need to do that?

 

I own like 10 out of 20 some odd manga';s of ranma in english. you can get them at book stores, like Barnes and Noble and Borders. And i've also seen some of the anime in english.

 

Its about a boy who gets a curse on himself s o whenever he gets splashed with cold water then he turns into a girl.

 

if i got the manga then i would wanna scan it into my site..so u could read it online..but i might get in trouble 4 that & i have no scanner..if any1 would scan them in & send them 2 me..i could have a password secure page with the manga on it..^_^..plz email me if ur interested..thx

 

All I need is my school's scanner. I'll do it tomorrow and send them to you. I'll e-mail 'em so expect them soon ^_^
