admittedly and i first pick up ranma half when i be around twelve . i be in the library and search desperately for something good to read . then and i go to the comic or manga section and spot this book . at my first few read through the chapter i do not really know what be go on and but i know that i love it . i even take it home for a few more read over . frankly and i wasn not get anywhere . and then and about five month ( i be 16 now ) ago my friend be watch some anime series and i remember about this manga . i couldn not remember what it be call and but recall that the author be rumiko takahashi and creator of inu yasha . i google it and and then make a rash decision to watch all 161 episode . at first i be a little thrown off by the 1990 graphic and but it do not really matter in the end . no anime have ever make me laugh so hard and rewind and watch again . i once watch 45 consecutive episode within a day . i do not know how i do it . but i couldn not stop . eventually and after about two day and i grow obsessed . i even dreamt as crazy a this sound about watch ranma . never have i find a series so enjoyable and so funny and and so heartwarming to watch . to this day 161 episode be not enough to keep me satisfied . of course the cliffhanger end be enough to make me go bonkers and but the series alone be enough to make me continue read . ranma half be about a boy name ranma saotome and his dad genma saotome . intense martial artist . they be so intense and that they go to the ancient training ground in china and become curse . the ground be full of different pool of spring and and if you land in one and you take the shape of whatever drown there when douse in cold water . for genma and that be a panda and and for ranma that be a. girl . it a very crafty fun love story . on top of that and genma promise his friend that ranma will marry one of his daughter to keep the tendo dojo alive . course the one he get match up with hate his gut and the feeling mutual . obviously they start to like one another and but both way to stubborn to admit it . but . genma have a history of do this . he promise ranma to many girl . trust me . it worth watch . it humorous and heartwarming and all around amazing .
