## Synopsis

After a training trip goes disastrously wrong, Ranma Saotome comes home with a curse: cold water turns him into a girl, hot water turns him back. To complicate matters, his father has already promised him in marriage to Akane Tendo, a proud martial artist who wants nothing to do with him. What follows is a whirlwind of rival suitors, absurd challenges, and slapstick fights, all orbiting two stubborn teenagers who would rather trade insults than admit they might actually care. It's a comedy classic given fresh, fluid new animation.
