Ranma 1/2 is a martial arts comedy by Rumiko Takahashi. One day, Soun Tendo, owner of the "Tendo's Anything Goes Martial Arts School" calls his 3 daughters in and tells them that one of them is going to be iinazuke (fiancee) to Ranma, the son of his best friend. Soun faints when Ranma arrives and turns out to be a *girl*.

It soon turns out that Ranma is really a boy, but he is also the victim of a strange curse from falling into a cursed pool while in training with his father in china. This curse will turn him into a girl when cold water is splashed on him. Hot water returns him to normal. Nabiki and Kasumi immediately elect their younger sister Akane as the iinazuke because "she hates boys" (she is not homosexual ok ppl ). Ranma, for his part, doesn't like Akane because she's violent and "not cute". Akane is miffed at Ranma because he beat her in martial arts (Ranma was a girl then) and shows her feelings by crushing Ranma with a table. A wonderful start to a beautiful relationship.

Ranma 1/2 is one of the funniest anime I've watched. And I highly recommand all of you out there who haven't watched it to go and check it out.
