Trivia:
Due to the negative backlash towards the English dub, Brigitta Dau was fired after playing the voice of female Ranma for the first six episodes of the TV series and the first two episodes of the OAV series. Since then, Venus Terzo has taken that role, resulting in a much improved English dub.

This is probably the most unique Anime series I've ever laid eyes on. I was floored at the hilariousness of the situations the characters got themselves into with each new adventure, big & small, in Japan all because of Genma's craziness when it comes to his son/daughter Ranma Saotome! One trip to China's Bayankala Range/Qinghai Province leads to the curses of Ranma, Genma, and a few others that become involved, and you have one outrageous series from the Manga Master herself, Rumiko Takahashi. I certainly have enjoyed it, myself, and collected a lot of the Anime on video and a couple on DVD. Highly recommended for fans of Japanese animation!
