Ranma 1/2 is the best comedy in the anime world. No one can watch and not laugh at it. Between Ranma and the fighting amongst his fiances, all the trouble his and his friends curses get them in, and the romance is amazing. This is a comedy, some romance, action, martial arts, and fantasy all in one anime.

The manga though quite different in some aspects to the anime is just as worth collecting as the series. The martial arts action combined with comedy and romance is a winning combination. The gender bender transformation problem due to a curse of the main character makes it a portal for all kinds of sillyness.
Even though it is a comedy series there are plenty of serious moments of true love and sincere emotions.One of the best anime shows ever.

At first, I just thought that since the store didn't have EVA volume 5, I'd just buy Ranma since I didn't have anything else to get. (I read the manga, don't have the anime...) I didn't expect it to be so well written and drawn. Now, I'm as hooked on this series as anyone else. I've presented it to three of my friends and they all love it too. I recommend it from the depth of my heart.
