Ranma 1/2 TV series, Vol. 1:
Here's Ranma: At long last, an old friend
of Soun Tendo's is to show up at the Tendo dojo, but
he's greatly surprised when a panda carrying a protesting
girl walks in instead. Is this girl, Ranma Saotome,
supposed to be the one to marry one of Soun's daughters
(Kasumi, Nabiki, Akane) and carry on the martial arts
school? Hopefully not! Of course, there's more to this
buxom red-haired girl than you might think....
School is No Place for Horsing Around: Now that
Ranma and Genma's Jusenkyo curses are explained, everything
can turn back to normal, right? Don't bet on it. As
Ranma and Akane, unwillingly but newly engaged, arrive
at Ranma's new high school, Furinkan high, a group of
boys comes out to attack Akane, and especially one in
particular, Tatewaki Kuno, is prominent among them.
When Kuno challenges Ranma to a fight, Ranma's sure
to win...at least until it rains. Of course, when everyone
in school finds out about Ranma and Akane's practically
overnight engagement, that's when Kuno gets really angry...
Ranma 1/2 TV series, Vol. 2:
A Sudden Storm of Love: The fight between Kuno
and Ranma continues, but Ranma somehow ends up becoming
a girl. Things are made worse when Kuno, unaware that
Ranma and "the pig-tailed girl" are one and
the same, meets and falls in love with the red-haired
version of Ranma! Now, on top of this unwilling engagement
to Akane, Ranma's got another guy chasing after his
girl-form! What's a martial artist to do?
Ranma and...Ranma? If it's Not One Thing, It's Another:
Kuno continues to chase around both Akane and his "pig-tailed
goddess", a.k.a. Ranma. Of course, Nabiki is looking
to make a profit out of Ranma's new "love interest",
so she decides to sell pictures of a certain red-haired
girl (at inflated prices) to the obsessive Kuno. Even
changing from girl to boy in plain sight doesn't seem
to convince Kuno that they're the same person. In fact,
it only makes him think Ranma is some kind of "enslaver
of women"! Ranma has to fend off a furious Kuno
before he really gets hurt...
Ranma 1/2 TV series, Vol. 3:
Love me to The Bone! The Compound Fracture of Akane's
Heart: Ranma's encounters with Kuno and his knack
for getting beat up by Akane has made Ranma somewhat
of a regular at Dr. Tofu's chiropractic clinic. Ranma
finds out that Akane has feelings for Dr. Tofu, but
as Akane well knows, there's a girl whom Dr. Tofu is
already totally in love with...
Akane's Lost Love! These Things Happen, You Know:
Ranma finds out the hard way that when Kasumi's around,
Dr. Tofu can't seem to function normally. Ranma not
only has to fix his neck, but console a depressed Akane,
even if it means getting up the courage to tell her
he thinks she's cute...
Ranma 1/2 TV series, Vol. 4:
Enter Ryoga, the Eternal Lost Boy: Ranma's got
a new problem to deal with - the "Eternal Lost
Boy" Ryoga Hibiki, who's furious at Ranma for not
being at their appointed fighting place (even though
it took Ryoga four days to get there). Ranma has to
defend himself against this old rival of his, and also
try to find out what's really gotten his old junior
high classmate so angry...
School is a Battlefield! Ryoga vs. Ranma!: Ryoga
finally finds his way back to Furinkan High school,
after getting lost in the middle of his first fight
with Ranma. This time, there's no escaping for Ranma,
and he has to stand his ground, even if Ryoga finds
out about his Jusenkyo curse. It seems as if the fight
is never going to end...but then a flying stray weapon
from Ryoga just happens to make Akane lose something
very important to her...
Ranma 1/2 TV series, Vol. 5:
True Confessions! A Girl's Hair is Her Life!:
Akane's still incredibly peeved at Ranma for causing
her to lose most of her long hair, but it gets Akane
to come to terms with the fact that Dr. Tofu loves someone
else. Besides, Akane's got someone else to think about.
Meanwhile, Ryoga finds and challenges Ranma again, this
time in the middle of the night! Ranma finds, though,
that Ryoga just happens to have a Jusenkyo curse of
his own...
P-P-P-chan! He's Good For Nothin'!: It turns
out that Ranma's indirectly the reason that Ryoga's
cursed, which infuriates Ryoga even more - at least
until he meets Akane. Believing that Akane accepts him
even in his cursed form (even though Akane is unaware
that her new pet "P-chan" and Ryoga are one
and the same), Ryoga falls in love with Akane. Now Ranma's
_really_ got to think of a way of showing Akane that
P-chan is really Ryoga, even if it means sneaking into
Akane's room at night with a kettle of hot water...
Ranma 1/2 TV series, Vol. 6:
Ranma Meets Love Head-On! Enter the Delinquent Juvenile
Gymnast!: Akane volunteers to fight for Furinkan
High's Martial Rhythmic Gymnastics team after the team
is all mysteriously "injured" by someone.
The attacker comes to cripple Akane, too, and her identity
is revealed. Her opponent (and ambusher) is Kodachi,
the "Black Rose" of rival school St. Hebereke/Bacchus,
and a master at Martial Rhythmic Gymnastics. Akane has
her problems with Kodachi, but they're going to be nothing
compared to the ones Ranma is going to have when Kodachi
lays eyes on him....
A Woman's Love is War! The Martial Arts Rhythmic
Gymnastics Challenge!: Akane's been practicing for
the upcoming match with Kodachi, and even though Kodachi
decides to wager the right to have Ranma, Akane is still
determined to win. However, a last minute injury to
herself forces Akane to choose a substitute...and what
better one than female Ranma, who's perfect for the
job! Despite having to wear a leotard and being "trained"
by Ryouga, female Ranma has to win the match against
Kodachi.....unbeknowest to Ranma, though, Ryouga's got
his own plans for interfering in the match...
Ranma 1/2 TV series, Vol. 7:
A Tear in a Girl-Delinquent's Eye? The End of the
Martial Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics Challenge!: The
match between Kodachi and female Ranma continues as
each brings in clubs, ribbons, tables, and even Kodachi's
brother Kuno to bear upon each other. However, Kodachi's
snagged a kettle of hot water, and both Ranma and Ryouga
will never live it down if they change back in front
of the crowd of high school students. Ranma has to find
a way to avoid the water and defeat Kodachi before he
gives new meaning to the word "humiliation"....
Pelvic-Fortune Telling? Ranma Is The No.1 Bride of
Japan!: Dr. Tofu gets an unexpected visitor - his
own mother, who has come to visit Tofu to see if he's
found a girl to marry yet. Mother Tofu, however, seems
to discard such things as looks for the important thing
- childbearing ability - and what better way to measure
that than by looking at...the hips? Tofu's got to convince
his mom there's only one woman he loves, but it's going
to be hard when Nabiki, Akane, and even Ranma get into
the act....
Ranma 1/2 TV series, Vol. 8:
Enter Shampoo, the Gung-Ho Girl! I Put My Life In
Your Hands!: Ranma has yet another problem to deal
with as the Chinese Amazon Shampoo has finally caught
up with the sex-changing martial artist. According to
Amazon tribal law, if a female outsider defeats an Amazon
(as Ranma did, in female form, back in China), the Amazon
must give the dreaded "Kiss of Death" - a
promise to follow the outsider and kill them! Ranma's
been running from Shampoo for quite some time, and now
that Shampoo's caught up with her, she intends to carry
out her promise! Things couldn't get more complicated....until
Ranma finds out first hand what the law says about male
outsiders defeating Amazons...
Shampoo's Revenge! The Shiatsu Technique That Steals
Heart and Soul!: Now that Ranma's got Shampoo as
a _second_ "fiancee", he has to deal with
her persistence and affection. Things are really bad
for Ranma since Shampoo is unaware of his curse - so
Shampoo's either trying to kill him - or kiss him! And
when Shampoo unknowingly almost cooks a little black
pig, it's the last straw for a jealous Akane. Akane
challenges Shampoo to a fight, but loses something a
lot more important instead....
Ranma 1/2 TV series, Vol. 9:
I Love You, Ranma! Please Don't Say Goodbye!:
Akane's forgotten all about Ranma, and only Ranma! Ranma
finds out that the technique used to wipe Akane's memory
of Ranma involves a special herbal shampoo, and that
the antidote is another blend of that shampoo. Unfortunately,
Shampoo's got it, and Ranma has to make an agreement
with the Amazon to get it.....even if it means getting
someone to beat his girl side up! Time is running out
for Ranma, and it's getting more and more evident that
the only way to get out of Shampoo's plans is to reveal
his secret to her....
I am A Man! Ranma's Going Back To China!?: Ranma
and Genma end up fighting over whether or not Ranma
should stay or leave to find a cure. Ranma is adamant
about going back to seek a cure, and Genma must remind
him about all he's been through so far to convince him
to stay. This is basically a summary of all the TV episodes,
wrapped up into one package.
