Product Description

At the time, martial arts training hall or "dojo" owner Soun Tendo thought engaging one of his three daughters to Ranma - the son of longtime friend and training partner Genma Saotome - was a good idea, but that was before "he" turned out to be a "she"! Youngest Tendo daughter Akane (who's always claimed to "hate boys" anyway) is quickly nominated for bridal duty by her older sisters, while an unruly Ranma (who never wants to do anything his dad says on general principle) must come to grips with the mixed blessing of his/her own appeal... to both boys and girls.

The first season of Ranma1/2! Available for the first time on DVD!

Amazon.com

The 18 episodes that comprise the first broadcast season of Ranma offer an appropriately zany introduction to the popular transgender martial arts comedy. These episodes form a single extended narrative, unlike the OVA installments, which can be watched in any order. The pacing is a little slower, the violent martial arts encounters are more clearly staged, and there's more nudity, but the mixture of slapstick humor and reluctant sentiment remains the same. When the Saotomes join the dojo-home of the Tendo family, fathers Genma and Suon decide son Ranma and daughter Akane are engaged, despite the participants' objections. Ranma and Genma have to explain why they turn into a girl and a panda when hit with cold water--the result of a disastrous visit to the cursed springs of Jusenkyo. Before they can establish any semblance of domestic tranquility, the geographically challenged Ryoga arrives to continue a quarrel with Ranma that dates back to junior high school. It's taken him this long to find Furinkan High. Kuno, the school kendo champion and windbag, discovers he's as smitten with Ranma's female form as he is with Akane, while his loudmouth sister Kodachi falls for Ranma as a male. Shampoo the Chinese Amazon is equally dedicated to killing girl-type Ranma and marrying boy-type Ranma. When the overwrought Suon Tendo tells Genma, "With you and your son in the house, there's never a dull moment," he makes a rare understatement. Not rated; suitable for ages 12 and up: Slapstick violence, nudity, mildly risqué humor. --Charles Solomon

Underground Reborn

So Cheesy it's Brilliant!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 18, 2006

I have to say the country of Japan has got to share its secrets with America in regards to film and television. Anime has recently grown in tremendous thanks to shows like Pokemon, Dragonball Z, and the Studio Gibli movies. Still, there is a much larger world that hasn't even begun to grow on this side of the globe.

Enter the world of romantic comedy anime style and its ringleader the ever-popular `Ranma ½'. This is the story of a boy named Ranma and his father and their journey to become the greatest martial artists with a major twist. On their journey they trained in the Valley of Cursed Springs, where within every pool a creature died a tragic death. Any being that happens to fall into one of the pools would take the shape of the creature that drowned in it. Out of all the cursed pools which one does our strapping young Ranma happen to fall into? The spring of the drowned girl! So now every time he gets wet, Ranma transforms into a spunky cute red headed girl. To change back he must douse himself with hot water...but it's only a matter of time until he finds a way to get wet again. If this idea of a story doesn't strike you as hilarious I don't know what will!

Now Ranma just found out he is to wed his fathers best friends daughter Akane. Unfortunately they don't like each other very much and he has to live under her roof until they get married. Get ready for the wacky first season of this Japanese phenomenon as Ranma begins a new chapter of his life with a new school, new friends, new enemies and even old enemies! The best part about all this mayhem is which Ranma are all these nut jobs looking for? And are they out for love...or revenge!?

Over The Top Fun

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 30, 2013

Ranma Saotome and his Father have returned from training in China. Unfortunately, they were cursed when they were there. When doused with cold water Ranma turns into a girl. When doused with cold water his Father turns into a Panda. Ranma is engaged to a girl named Akane Tendo. Akane and Ranma's parents arranged this marriage, and neither of them are too happy about it. Now they have to live together and try to get along, b/c they are gonna be together from now on. Not only do they not get along, there are tons of classmates that are in love with Akane, Ranma, and girl Ranma. Their lives are way too complicated, goofy, and violent.

I've been watching anime for a long time and I own over 300 titles, but amazingly enough this is the first time I've seen Ranma 1/2. I was hooked before the 1st episode was over. This anime has everything. Action, drama, comedy, and romance all abound in this series. For the late 80's, the animation and voice acting is very good. It also has a pretty good soundtrack. It's definitely not a kids show. There is a healthy amount of nudity and suggestive situations in Ranma 1/2. So if that stuff bothers you, avoid it. I'm always a bit weary of getting older anime. I guess I've gotten spoiled with the awesome animation and voice acting that has become more prominent since the 2000's began. Surprisingly, the story is so much fun that I haven't given it a 2nd thought. I strongly recommend this series to any anime fan over the age of 15.

Very good and funny

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 1, 2002

Verified Purchase

This box-set is the first season of (after viewing it) a memorable anime series. As someone new to Ranma I bought the OAV set first, and while it was very entertaining it left me with questions!
This set explains it all, from where and how Ranma got his curse to why he's afraid of Cats and gets chased by nearly everything in a skirt (apart from Akane) around him.
As for the technical side, the transfer is very good, with only a few noticeably pixellated scenes. One down is that there are hard-subtitles for some things (signs, some on-screen text etc..), while I would've preferred the original japenese text with optional subtitles for them.
There are some shimmering overlays (additions to the original material), usually the english ranma logo, which really should've been done better.
The sound is good, although I must admit I had to gulp when it said 'Japanese (mono)' on the back of the box. Is it really mono? I couldn't really tell, it sounded perfectly alright to me, but I only have a stereo sound installation.
There aren't really any extras to speak of, just text-less opening/credits.
But then again, it's the series that mattters and despite some obvious old-age problems of the material it's very enjoyable.
I would recommend this set to anyone interested/new to Ranma and of course to old-time fans of Ranma.

Welcome to Ranma 1/2

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 20, 2012

Verified Purchase

Ranma 1/2 is a story about a 16 year old boy who, when doused with cold water, turns into a pretty girl who still has a mind of a boy. He turns back into a boy when he get's doused in hot water. This is a funny and crazy series with some anime nudity. I highly recomend the entire series. The animation is good, the english voice actors are absolutely right on, and the stories are great fun. You may still be able to find the manga or anime at your local library. If not, then this series is worth the price. Each of the seven seasons has between 18-24 episodes. There is also a post season 7, 12 episode series and two movies which conclude the story. The 2nd movie: "Nihao My Concubine" is excellent and rather eye popping. Ranma 1/2 - The Movie 2, Nihao My Concubine
It's seems like the $36 season boxed sets are being phased out, which is a shame, so get them while you can. You don't need to start with season 1 to get hooked on this silly but addictive series. Season 3 is my favorite. Ranma 1/2: Season Three - Hard Battle In the later seasons, watch for the 1-2 frame funny pictures they throw in when someone gets hit or there's an explosion. I even made my own episode called "Ranma Goes To Hawaii" on youtube. Anyway I hope you buy and enjoy the series! "Ah pigtail girl, I would date with you!" :-)

Wonderful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 2, 2014

One of those phenomena where a review is almost beside the point - if you are into anime you pretty certainly know all about this already.

It's a no-brainer if you like anything else of Rumiko Takahashi's - you'll like this too. I promise.

I actually prefer it to Urusei Yatsura, partly because Ranma is much less of a jerk than Ataru. I was put off watching it for a long time by the weird premise, but I wish now I'd watched earlier. It's one of those deeply silly but highly enjoyable anime like "Slayers" which is just plain fun. To say it doesn't take itself too seriously is .. something of an understatement. And like Slayers it's got Megumi Hayashibara (as girl-type Ranma.) What are you waiting for?

I got the DVD Box Set the next day of being ordered and once I started watching it, total nostalgia. Every one of the DVDs were playing smoothly, that I would even watch all the episodes again. ^_^ (Happy customer)

GREAT SERIES!

If it wasn't for my cousin who got me into Ranma 1/2 I would've missed a great anime. This is the first season of Ranma 1/2 and it's probably one of the best. I have yet to see the rest of the seasons (2-7) plus the OAV series. This boxed dvd set introduces the main characters and some new ones as well. Be sure to pick this set up!
