About this show

It's not easy being teenage martial-artist Ranma Saotome, but it's even worse when your martial-artist father Genma takes you from home at an early age to go on a decade-long training mission. He doesn't speak a word of Chinese, and yet he insists upon bringing you to the cursed training ground known as Jusenkyo, where falling into one of the many springs there instantly turns you into whoever - or whatever - drowned there last. And then, the two of you have a little accident...From now on, a splash of cold water will turn your father into a giant panda, while you...well, you turn into a red-haired (and problematically well-built) female version of yourself. Hot water will reverse the effect, but only until the next time. What's a half-guy, half-girl to do?

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of this series but from past reviews it's in English dub. Please have a Japanese version of this!

Ranma 1/2 is one of the zaniest and most fun anime series I've seen and I am quite pleased to see it on Google Play! There's a bit of nudity but it's not particularly explicit and done on the name of the humor of the situation than as fan service. Highly recommended if you like funny anime's. One thing though: HD version looks cleaner in HD devices but the source was never in wide screen and it's really just upscaled so not true HD.

Waiting patiently for season 7! Here's to hoping but it's great to see this series on here. I think it's worth the money in the long run! Love this show!
