Ranma Saotome is a 16 year old student and heir to the Anything Goes Style of Martial Arts. However, Ranma is not your average student: since a 'fateful' day at a Chinese Training Ground called Jusenkyo, he turns into a cute girl when he comes in contact with cold water. Only a dose of hot water can reverse the effects... Temporarily. Yet the crazyness of Ranma's life does not end here; due to an agreement between Tendou Soun and Ranma's father, Genma (who himself is cursed with transforming into a panda...), the gender-wise unusual boy is now engaged to Tendou Akane, a rather violent and tomboyish girl. Sure enough, romance unwillingly blossoms and time brings about problems inlcuding cute pig-boys, ego-inflated Sempais and countless new fiancees...

I am quite satisfied with the anime overall but there are some disappointing parts that could have been better. For instance, the characters could have been moulded more deeply with more description on their history and personalities and there are too many new characters coming out. The anime never fails to make you laugh at times though with its comical and hilarious style. The connection between the characters are also quite touching with some of its romantic scenes. The imagination of the anime though is great. For example, there's lots of creatures and ways that one could never have expected and when you think the story has reached a dead end, something else pops up to keep it going on and continues giving us hope.
