Ranma ½ (1989)

Soun Tendo gets quite a surprise when the son of his friend Genma Saotome that he's arranged for one of his daughters to marry turns out to be a girl...

Attending his first day at Furinkan High, Ranma encounters Akane's many would-be suitors.

Not realizing that Ranma and 'the pigtailed girl' are the same, Kuno is furious that he let the "cretin" slip away. His attention soon shifts to the red-haired one though, when she bests him in combat.

As Kuno continues his attempts to get a date with the 'pigtailed goddess', Ranma starts freaking out, while Nabiki smells money.

A solid beating from Akane brings Ranma to Dr. Tofu, who tries to help out the two teens' relationship, as well as Ranma's injuries.

Akane and Ranma are back at Dr. Tofu's when Kasumi shows up, causing Tofu to start acting like a loon out of love, something Akane doesn't handle well.

After years of searching, Ryoga Hibiki finally finds the person who ruined his life - Ranma Saotome. Now, if only Ranma could remember what the heck he did to make Ryoga so mad...

Ryoga finally manages to find Ranma again, and challenges him to a fight in the schoolyard. Unfortunately for Ranma, several outside parties have a vested interest in seeing him lose.

Akane's accidental haircut brings a temporary reprieve in Ranma and Ryoga's fighting. Stunned, she wanders off alone, thinking about the loss of the one thing that wasn't 'tomboyish' about her.

Not knowing that it's Ryoga, Akane adopts the little black pig as her pet, naming him P-Chan. This of course drives Ranma crazy, as he desperately wants to get Ryoga away from her, yet feels honorbound not to reveal the secret.

Intending to insure St. Hebereke School for Girls' victory in the upcoming match, Kodachi of puts the entire Furinkan Martial Arts Rythmic Gymnastics team out of commission. Akane is chosen as Furinkan's replacement, but not only does her gymnastics skills leave something to be desired, Kodachi decides to lessen Akane's odds with a little visit to the Tendo Dojo...

Akane twists her ankle during practice, forcing Ranma to take her place in the match with Kodachi.

Ranma faces Kodachi in the ring, with the Black Rose's love on the line.

Dr. Tofu's mother comes to visit, determined to find her son a bride. Nabiki, Akane and Ranma all find themselves volunteering to help him get her of his back.

Ranma gets a shock when an Amazon girl he encountered in China tracks him down, intending to kill his girl half.

Tired of the constant outbursts whenever she gets near Ranma, Shampoo decides to get Akane out of the way.

Ranma desperately attempts to recover Akane's lost memory. He even turns to Shampoo who promises to help... at a price.

Genma tries to dissuade Ranma from abandoning Akane to travel back to China and trying to find a cure at Jusenkyo.

Who would sell his only son for a bowl of rice, a fish and some pickles? Genma Saotome, that's who! And now, the wealthy resturant owner has come to collect, demanding Ranma marry his daughter unless Akane can beat her in the ancient art of Martial Arts Takeout Delivery...

When Ranma opens a package from Shampoo, his major weakness is revealed - he's terrified of cats, something Sasuke, Kuno's loyal ninja servant, intends to exploit to the fullest.

A strange old woman seeks out Ranma, testing his skills while calling him 'future son-in-law'.

Having been made hyper-sensitive to heat by Cologne, Ranma is trapped in his girl form until he promisees to marry Shampoo. Refusing to give up, Ranma takes a job at her diner, hoping for a chance to grab the 'Phoenix Pill' that's supposed to cure him.

Dr. Tofu is able to cure Ranma, but as Cologne is quick to ask - How long will it last? In any case, his mind soon gets other things to think about, as Mousse, a Chinese master of hidden weapons, arrives, challenging him for the right to Shampoo's hand.

Taking a break at a skiing resort, Ranma finds himself entering a Martial Arts ski race where the prize is a date with Shampoo - and the Phoenix Pill!

Figure skating champion Azusa Shiratori decides P-Chan is now her 'Charlotte', and challenges Akane and Ranma to a match against herself and her partner for the ownership of the pig. But can Ranma learn to skate in time?

The kiss makes Ranma go ballistic, charging at Mikado like a madman. Ranma barely wins, but Mikado is certain he'll get his revenge in the big Martial Arts Figure Skating match.

The match is on, but can Ranma and Akane survive the Golden Pair's deadly 'Couple Cleaver'? And what's Ryoga up to?

Tired of getting beaten by Ranma, Ryoga takes up Cologne's offer to train him. They set off to the mountains, only to find Genma, Ranma and Akane already there, also training.

Cologne is teaching Ryoga the fearsome Breaking Point technique, making him capable of shattering giant boulders with a single touch. With it, he's sure he can beat Ranma... If the training doesn't kill him first.

The Tendo Dojo receives a challenge from the Dojo Destroyer, and Soun charges Akane and Ranma with task of defending its honor. Ranma however, gets other things on his mind, when Shampoo promises to give him a cure for the curse if he'll only go on a date with her...

Mousse returns, trying to kidnap Akane, but ends up mistakenly grabbing her stuffed toy pig instead. Still, Akane wants her pig back, so Ranma goes along with the instructions to meet up with the kidnapper at the circus.

Having managed to grab the right person this time, Mousse sets up a new show - girl turns into duck (courtesy of a little cursed water from the spring of drowned duck).

Soun and Genma are terrified when their old teacher, master Happosai, shows up. The founder of the Anything Goes school of martial arts, his fighting skills are only surpassed by his lust for women's underwear...

Ranma is determined to infiltrate the Furinkan High girl's locker room when he gets a map from Ryoga that shows there's a old spring beneath it that can cure his curse. It proves harder than Ranma thought though, since the girls are on high alert due to the recent raids by Happosai.

Ranma's found the first of the three magic urns needed to summon the spring. And where's the next one's hidden? Deep in the bowels of the Kuno estate, full of traps, tricks and hot and cold water...

Happosai has claimed one of the urns to store his 'collection', but Ranma manages to steal it back. Of course, the master takes this as a personal insult, and starts causing considerable trouble for Ranma and the others as they travel up the mountains to find the place that will activate the urns.

It's cookie baking time in the home ed. class, and Akane and Kodachi both want Ranma to taste. Not taking no for an answer, the Black Rose falls back on blackmail, causing Akane to become even more determined to get Ranma to eat hers.

When Ranma tries to force Happosai to stop the underwear stealing, the old master gets mad and starts terrorizing the inhabitants of the Tendo Dojo, demanding an apology.

Furinkan High is entering a theater contest with a performance of 'Romeo and Juliet'. Akane is chosen as Juliet, but Kuno and Happosai both want to be Romeo, and so does Ranma when he hears the first price winners will get to see China.

The water heater is broken, so Ranma and co are off to the public bathhouse for a bath. Naturally, Happosai wants to come, planning to pay a little visit to the women's side...

Akane is shocked when she witnesses Genma getting attacked by a stranger referring to him as father, wanting revenge for being abandoned. Who is this Ukyo?

Ukyo tries to set Akane and Ryoga up on a date, hoping to get Ranma for herself. Ranma, however, intends to do his best to ruin it...

Caring and gentle as ever, Shampoo brings Ranma a lunch with a little 'extra spices', causing Ranma to get an irresistible urge to hug anyone who sneezes.

Furious at being prevented from accompanying Akane to the hot-springs, Happosai decides to recover the scroll containing his most deadly attack - The Happofire Burst - to teach them all a lesson. Ranma is however determined to find it first, and it's a battle of wits as they both try to infiltrate the scroll's resting place - an all girls hot-spring...

Ranma recives a challenge from one Tsubasa Kurenai, a strange girl determined to win back her beloved Ukyo.

Distressed at the frequent panty thefts, the town council turns to their local hero, Soun Tendo, for protection of the town relic - an ancient bra said to contain the ghost of a merciless empress.

After getting beaten by Shampoo, Akane is thrilled to find that Happosai's magic noodles she accidently ate has given her super strength. But can she live with the side-effects?

The Jusenkyo Preservation Society decides they have stood by long enough, letting Ranma and co abuse their Jusenkyo curses for immoral and selfish purposes, and dispatch a team charged with capturing them and teaching them the error of their ways.

After a nasty blow to the head, Ranma wakes up believing he's a girl. No more martial arts for her, it's flower arrangement and tea ceremony from now on...

After being gone for a while, having fled to avoid Happosai's wrath, Soun and Genma return, claiming to have studied ancient ninja techniques that will enable them to beat the master once and for all.
