I saw the first 2 or 3 episodes and it didnt really strike me as being good. Although I was kind of turned off when I heard about the lack of a storyline, as that is one thing that keeps me engaged in good animes.
Rocklee398
the anime is not the greatest since its so old, but if you really want a story line you might want to read the manga which is much better!!
eternalmetal
Does it even have a storyline? I was under the impression that it didnt. and since I dont read manga, I probably wont do that.
animeswordmaster
the manga was much better than the anime series and yes there was a storyline. ranma tries to get his normal self back but "obstacles" keep coming his way- mainly all of his supposed wives.
Rocklee398
yes what animeswordmaster said, (i think i specified that in my review)
Happy Goth
the manga is way better the anime was a bit boring
Kisscadie
I liked the anime. The whole plot was about Ranma being engaged to multiple girls by his father. A group of 3 were in competition of sorts for Ranma. Insert some Drama for the next 6 seasons a rivalry between Ranma and Ryoga with Happosai stealing women's undies and you've got a show. Haven't read the manga though, but I will read the ending if they got to the point where Ranma and Akane got married...
