Synopsis

Saotome Ranma and his father, Genma , fell into cursed springs during a journey to China. As a result, whenever Ranma comes into contact with cold water, he turns into a girl; when the same thing happens to Genma, he becomes a panda. Wheneven that happens, they stay in their alternative form until the process is reversed by hot water. And if that wasn't bad enough, Ranma has a bigger problem to deal with: his father and Tendou Souun decide to marry Ranma to the youngest daughter of the Tendou household, Akane , so that the two can eventually take over her family's dojo. Meanwhile, the youngsters are less than thrilled about this forced engagement... Note: Ranma 1/2 was canceled due to poor ratings, and was taken off the air to be retooled. It was relaunched as Ranma 1/2 Nettou Hen with some changes in staff. Furthermore, the US release shuffled the episodes around to bring it more in line with the manga. Note 2: The aired timeline differs from the timeline that was originally intended for this and Ranma 1/2 Nettou Hen . The intended order for the episodes to be viewed is: Ranma 1/2 1-13, Ranma 1/2 Nettou Hen 7-9, Ranma 1/2 14-18, Ranma 1/2 Nettou Hen 1-6, Ranma 1/2 Nettou Hen 10-End
