About Ranma ½ OVA

Ranma ½ OVA blends comedy, shounen and romance by Studio Deen, Kitty Films (1993). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The premise: 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.

Along the way, 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 has 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.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series.
