Plot Summary:
Saotome Ranma, a teenage martial artist, and his father Genma travel to the 'cursed training ground' of Jusenkyo in China. There, despite the warnings of the Chinese guard, they fall into the cursed springs. From now on, whenever Ranma is doused in cold water, he turns in to a girl, and a cute, well-built red-head at that. Hot water changes him back into a man again, but only until the next time. To make matters worse, his father engages him to Tendo Akane, a girl who hates boys.

Comment:
Ranma 1/2 was actually cancelled on September 16, 1989 after 18 episodes due to low ratings. One month later, the series was relaunched as Ranma 1/2 Nettohen.
Along with Mermaid's Scar, Ranma 1/2 was Viz Video's first domestic anime release, and prior to Inu-Yasha, the company's landmark title in North America.
