wow . i mean wow this have get to be one of the best story i have ever have the chance to read or watch . we all know this famous story . two martial artist and a man and his son and go to train in the forbidden curse spring and while ignore their warning they both fall in a spring each . the dad and genma and the spring of drowned panda . and 16 year old ranma and the spring of drowned girl . now with every splash of cold water they turn into the very be title to the spring they land in . crazy enough yet . no and thats just the beginning . a if be one of the strong teenager to ever exist who turn into a female wasn not enough and ranma have to deal with crazed martial art teacher and hundred of insane art style and an insane high school principle and opponent right and leave who have a score to settle with ranma wither it be for mess up their life early on somehow or for stealling their loved one . and speaking of loved one and i have lose track of how many time a boy or a girl have fall in love with ranma . and not once have it be his fiancée and akane . and thats just from the first few chapter or episode of the series . the story itself be amaze . i have never come across something so crazy and so bizarre and so . so . out of this world and yet it so down to earth and believable . i can not even describe it to it full . it just a charming story thats so easy to get into . what i like about it be the humor . not once have i laugh out loud this much from a manga and and it doesn not have to try any of the stunt you would catch in simpson or something of the sort . i could read any part of the comic and i would be laugh from begin to end . another thing be the character . ranma and you would think make him too strong would be a set back but nooo . with every little problem the story throw at him he do his best just to survive half the time and his personality be that of a foolish young boy it would seem but when bad come to worst he can be a calculating genius . and to think and of the hundred of pervert in the show and ranma who hat the idea of pervert all together be consider by everyone in his town and more so by akane and the bad pervert to ever live . his father genma and you would think the father character would blend in to the background right . correct . but whenever he do have some spotlight . he just give you more reason to hate him yet at the same love him . you think you know the bad dad ever from an anime . you haven not meet genma . ryoga and probably one of ranma great rival and my favorite character ( next to ranma ) . and probably one of the only people he can actually stand . most likely the strong character in the series but have two fault and one be his curse that turn him into a baby pig but his bad fault . be his lack of sense in direction . then we have . you know and i could spend hour at the computer explain all the character and the story and everything positive about it but that would be just pointless . check out the series if you haven not and now . you will not regret it . though i would advise check the comic out first . i like the anime and but i have have some trouble get the series at a good price . and a small nitpick and the humor doesn not seem to translate to the anime as well a the manga . i think partly because the comic seem more cartoonish to me . but either way and it a win win . positive .
