About Ranma ½ (OVA)

Ranma ½ (OVA) (Ranma 1/2 (OVA)) blends comedy and romance by GAINAX and Studio DEEN (1993). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: Ranma Saotome continues his search for a way to become a normal teenage boy again. He gets into many hilarious situations involving the many girls in his life.

As things develop, one of the biggest challenges is overcoming the proposals from others who have found a suitable bride for Ranma. He has his own worries and needs to muster up the best of his wits and martial arts to keep his sanity. It's not easy being desired by so many women (and men) and not breaking hearts of a few along the way.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Ranma Saotome (Megumi Hayashibara) and Akane Tendou (Noriko Hidaka) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. At 6 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
