Ranma Saotome, a teenage martial artist, and his father Genma travel to the 'cursed training ground' of Jusenkyo in China. There, despite the warnings of the Chinese guard, they fall into the cursed springs. From now on, whenever Ranma is doused in cold water, he turns into a girl and a cute, well-built redhead at that. Hot water changes him back into a man again, but only until the next time. To make matters worse, his father engages him to Akane Tendo, a girl who hates boys.
Ranma ½ is a classic 1989 anime comedy-action series following Ranma Saotome, a teenage martial artist cursed to transform into a girl whenever exposed to cold water. The show blends martial arts action with romantic comedy as Ranma navigates his new condition and an arranged engagement to Akane Tendo, a girl who despises boys.
