Is Ranma A Boy Or A Girl?


Ranma ½ is another anime that makes me stay at home every Friday night at 6:30 PM. This is because of the funny scenes and the great martial arts in this show. Here is the opening theme:



Ranma ½ revolves around a 16 year old boy named Ranma Saotome who was trained for martial arts since childhood. When he was in a training journey, an accident happened which led to a curse... Ranma becomes a girl everytime he will be splashed by cold water and he can only turn back into a male via hot water.

Ranma ½ is known for its novel comedic formula but is perhaps even better known for its gender-swapping main character, who often willfully changes into a girl to advance his goals. Ranma ½ also contains many other equally unusual characters, whose intricate relationships with each other, unusual characteristics and eccentric personalities drive most of the stories. Although the characters and their relationships are complicated, they rarely change once the characters are firmly introduced and settled into the series.

I wish I can be Ranma... even just for a day!
