At the Tendou home, the father was crying over the postcard that he received from Saotome Genma. "Ranma is coming... I've waited a long time for this day." But... episode 2 "asobijanainoyo gakkouha" [School is not fun and games] The peaceful morning at the Tendou home. Akane, who had become Ranma's fiance because her sisters pushed her, goes off to school with Ranma. At school, the captains of each of the clubs were fighting very hard to win Akane. In the middle, Kunou Tatewaki, with a rose and a wooden sword, was waiting.. Ranma 1/2 episode 2 title: asobijanainoyo gakkouha opening song: Jajaumani Sasenaide (Nishio Etsuko) ending song: Platonic Tsuranuite (Sakagami Kaori) aired: 89.04.22 Basically the same story as in the comics vol. 1, part 3 and 4. Ranma and Akane go to school, the fighting.. This episode ends with Ranma and Kunou jumping out of the school window and landing in the pool. Ranma 1/2 episode 3 title: ikinari aino arashi.. chotto matteyo. opening song: Jajaumani Sasenaide (Nishio Etsuko) ending song: Platonic Tsuranuite (Sakagami Kaori) aired: 89.04.29 This episode was basically part 5 of volume 1 of the manga.

Kunou throws Ranma the roses.. There is one part that was not in the manga.. Ranma's father turns into the panda and tries to take a bath. But, the bathroom at the Tendou home is under repair. So he goes to the public bath so he can return to human form. As he comes home, Kasumi and Ranma accidently spill water on him! [I thought it was very funny] I noticed that in the credits at the end, Ranma is written in hiragana for the girl and kanji for the boy. \ / -+- -+- / \ / -+- / / |_ / -+- |_ ++) / |_ / -+- < / _) /\/ (|\ _) /\/ _) /\/ (|\ \ /\/ Ranma 1/2 episode 4 title: Ranma to ranma?

Ranma's dream.. Kunou asking Nabiki about Ranma.. Nabiki selling Ranma and Akane's pictures to Kunou.. Kunou and Ranma fight.. They are moving pretty slow, but if they didn't, they would catch up to the manga. This episode had more that was not in the manga. This episode had a lot of Nabiki, probably more than Ranma and Akane. Ranma 1/2 episode 5 title: honemade aishite? Akaneno koino fukuzatsukossetsu opening song: Jajaumani Sasenaide (Nishio Etsuko) ending song: Platonic Tsuranuite (Sakagami Kaori) aired: 89.05.13 The story was basically part 7 (last half) and part 8 from vol. 1 of the manga. [Finally, finished with volume one!] This episode was different from the manga at the beginning. When Akane was practicing with her father, she remembers what Ranma says to her and accidently knocks him out. Then, as Kasumi is taking care of her father, she makes Akane promise never to his another male from now on. Kasumi sends Akane shopping, and on the way, she meets Ranma. Akane stops herself and does not hit Ranma, at the beginning, but after he says more and more to bug her, she can't hold back any more and beats up Ranma. Then, she takes him to Tofu-sensei. From here, it is exactly the same as the manga.. Ranma 1/2 episode 6 title: Akane no shitsuren datte shouganai janai opening song: Jajaumani Sasenaide (Nishio Etsuko) ending song: Platonic Tsuranuite (Sakagami Kaori) aired: 89.05.20 the story basically follows the manga vol. 2 part 1. Kasumi goes to Tofu-sensei's hospital.. After Tofu-sensei bends Ranma's neck, Akane leaves and then Ranma leaves.. **SPOILERS** this part is different from the manga.. Akane goes to the riverbed and is throwing stones into the river to cheer herself up. Ranma, with his neck bent, runs after her and finds her. Ranma thinks that Akane might be crying and takes a peek. She hits him, and puts Ranma's neck back in place. Akane cheers up a little and starts to walk home. Ranma follows her. Akane tells him not to follow her, but he follows anyways. When Akane asks Ranma why he is following her, Ranma just says "I can do whatever I like". Then, Akane says, "You must like me." Akane smiles and laughs and runs away. Ranma chases her, and accidently jumps into the river. On the way home, Akane and Ranma-chan go to a park and sit down and eat hamburgers together. Akane tells Ranma about Tofu-sensei and that he has always liked Kasumi. Ranma-chan then tells Akane that she should give up on Tofu-sensei. The ending is the same as the manga.

A wild boar comes into a small country village and Ryouga is just walking in the street. Ryouga stops the boar with just his umbrella. He then asks the surprised villagers where Fuurinkan High School is. This village was in Shikoku. Akane's sisters chase Ranma-chan around and force her to wear some clothes.

As Ryouga chases Ranma, Ryouga gets lost again. Ranma and Akane are still waiting for him at the entrance of the school. After running around for a while, Ryouga ends up at the same village in Shikoku! Ranma 1/2 episode 8 title: Gakkouha senjouda!

Ryouga wondering around looking for Ranma.. Ranma can't think why Ryouga is after him that much. At school, Akane's friends comment about how long her hair has grown.

Nabiki and some of her friends are playing bookie and are taking bets on the fight. All of the classmates bet on Ranma. So, Nabiki has to find a way for Ryouga to win. The fighting starts.. The chemistry club geeks are watching the fight and thinking that if Ranma loses, Akane will be theirs. The fighting continues.. The chemistry club geeks plant "their bomb" and wait for Ranma to step on it. The bomb does not work as planned. Ranma and Ryouga keep fighting and they go out into the streets. Nabiki goes after them and gives Ryouga some vitamin pills and trys to help him. The fight continues and they end up in the zoo. They fight in the zoo and many animals escape. During the fight, Ranma kicks a drinking fountain and the water changes him into a girl.

Akane has tears in her eyes as she slaps Ranma.. Then, Akane's hair gets cut! The zoo keepers are out finding the animals that escaped. They find a panda.. The panda ends up in the zoo!

An old lady is also lost and asks Ryouga for directions. Since he doesn't know, she asks him to take her to the police box so she can ask for directions. Akane goes to Tofu-sensei's place. He tells her she's cute and looks better in short hair. Akane starts to cry. On the way home, Ranma tries to comfort Akane. She tricks him and pushes him into the river. Ryouga takes the old lady to Kyuushuu! Finally after wandering around Japan for one week, he makes it to the police box. Ryouga goes to the Tendou home. Wants to fight Ranma at night, in the rain. Before the fight starts, Ryouga tells Ranma that he went to China chasing after him. The fight wakes up Akane and her sisters. They think it's robbers. Akane throws the barbell and hits Ryouga in the head. Ryouga loses his umbrella and runs away. (It seems that it takes a considerable amount of water for the transformation to take place. Ryouga gets wet a lot, but still didn't change.) Ranma chases after Ryouga. Finds his clothes and backback. Also finds the neighbor's dog. When Akane returns to her room, she finds P-chan. Ranma takes P-chan to the bath and dunks him in the hot water. They show P-chan struggling inside the water as Ranma is dunking him. So, the transformation is not immediate.

Then one day, a Panda and a girl knocked him into the spring which made him into a little black pig. The Panda picked up the pig and brought it to the Chinese guy to cook the pig. They threw the pig into the hot water, and Ryouga jumps out. While Ranma and Ryouga was arguing, the Panda walks in, and then puts up the sign "I'm sorry". Ryouga figures out that the girl who knocked him into the spring was Ranma. Ranma is chasing P-chan around the house. Akane saves him and hits Ranma. Then Akane kisses P-chan and goes to sleep with him. At night, Ranma sneaks into Akane's room and tries to take P-chan away from Akane. They fight, and Ranma ends up on top of Akane and wakes her up.

It seems like they are going to skip the 3 episodes about the ice skating pair. They say we will see Shampoo next week! (that's fine with me) The ending song and animation has changed. I didn't like the song. "Equal Romance" by CoCo. The new ending animation isn't as good as the previous two either.

After Ranma gives him the food, Tofu is so happy that he goes crazy again. (running into walls, windows, etc) All of a sudden, Tofu's mother comes barging in.

He was on some martial arts training. He is starving and hasn't eaten in days. He meets a guy who is camping. The guy was cooking fish and was about to eat it. Genma begs for the food and finally trades Ranma for it. Ranma and his father are fighting over food. Akane is sitting at the table eating, wearing a very short, red mini-skirt. [I don't think she ever wore a mini skirt in the manga.] Then a stranger comes looking for Ranma. When he sees Ranma, this guy calls Ranma "son". He says that when Ranma marries his daughter Kaori, he will be Ranma's father. Akane's father asks Genma what this is all about. Ranma is shocked to find out that he was traded for only one piece of fish and rice. Akane's father tells this stranger that Ranma is already going to marry Akane. Kaori says that she wants to challenge Akane to see who marries Ranma. They chose the "demae kakutou race". The commercial break anime sequence is funny. [the music isn't as good as before.] They use SD characters of Akane and Ranma. There is also a short sequence to break in from a commercial. Akane says to Ranma, "I'm not in this race for you!" Kaori shows up at the starting line and displays some of her skills. Kaori's father says that she is a master of the demae kakutou technique. The race starts and Kaori and Akane fight each other toward the finish line. Ranma is watching the race. Kaori is beating Akane as she throws chopsticks at Akane's feet and injures her.

Ranma says to Akane, "I helped you for the one year supply of ramen. Don't misunderstand me." At the end, another stranger shows up at the Tendo home. The guy also hugs Ranma and tells him to call him father. Ranma 1/2 Nettouhen episode 2 title: Yappari Nekoga Kirai? ending song: Don't mind lay-lay boy (Nishio Etsuko) aired: 89.11.03 I still can't get used to the new ending song. It's worse than "Equal Romance". Also, there is no opening song. They should have kept the old one. It was a good song. There was no preview of next week. Maybe there won't be any Ranma for a couple weeks because of the World Cup Volleyball. I have to wait until Friday.. ***** SPOILERS ***** Kunou is practicing his skill with his wooden sword. He is beating up a Ranma doll. His ninja Sasuke is introduced. [this is stupid] Ranma is chasing his father around. This is training. Ranma has a weighted metal ball and chain around his leg.

Akane tries to pull Ranma out of the room, but she opens a door and a big tiger was waiting for them. Finally it is too much and Ranma turns into a cat. Ranma and the tiger faces off. Ranma chases all the cats and the tiger out. Ranma runs outside and climbs up a tree. He is licking himself like a cat. Ranma's father comes to help and dresses up like an old lady. It doesn't work. Akane shoots a bag full of catnip and Ranma comes down from the tree. Then he jumps at Akane and lands in her lap. Akane gets mad and tells Ranma to get off. Ranma is still a cat, and kisses Akane.

Ranma was trying to come up with a way to apologize to Akane about the bath incident. Akane says that she doesn't care, but still pours water on Ranma and then kicks her. Then, Shampoo's great grandma comes and attacks Ranma-chan. Shampoo brings ramen for the entire Tendo family, saying that they moved into the neighborhood and opened a new ramen store. Shampoo's great grandma also appears and says that Ranma should marry Shampoo. She says that she is 350 years old (I think the manga says something different). Akane's father says that Ranma's already engaged to Akane. Ranma says that he doesn't want to marry either. Shampoo then takes Ranma to the bathroom and shows him her body, that she turns into a cat when she touches cold water, and tells him the story about how she trained in China and became this way by falling into the spring.

During gym class, Shampoo rides her bike through the wall and shows off her nannichuan mix. The nannichuan mix will turn ordinary water into the special nannichuan spring water, which will turn everything that drowns in it into a man. Shampoo uses a dog to demonstrate. Shampoo says that she will give Ranma the mix if he goes on a date with her, today at 2 pm in the park. Akane gets mad because today is the day when the doujou yaburi is supposed to come. On the way home from school, Ranma goes to meet Shampoo. Akane says that she can do it by herself. She tells her father not to help her out. During the date with Shampoo, Ranma tries to get the nannichuan mix. He keeps tricking Shampoo, but Shampoo always gives him the fake bag.

He tells Moose to keep trying and to defeat anything that is in his way. Then Moose regains his spirit and starts to beat up Ranma, because Ranma is in the way between him and Shampoo. Then as Akane breaks free of the rope, Shampoo tries to pour the spring water on her. Shampoo says that she feels sorry for Moose and that she will introduce a new girlfriend to him. Ranma saves Akane from the water, and then Moose starts to shoot water on them with the hose. The water makes a direct hit on Akane, and the force of the water sends Akane out of the tent. Ranma goes looking for Akane and finds a little white duck. Ranma thinks that Akane had turned into the duck. Ranma cries and says that he will turn her back and takes the duck home with him. At home, Ranma sneaks to the bathroom and puts the duck in the bathtub. But, it doesn't turn back into Akane. It just stays a duck! At the Chinese festival, Akane comes out from under some covers. The water that hit Akane was not the spring water. Moose and Shampoo find Akane. Akane dumps the last bucket of the spring water on Moose.

So, they prepare for Ranma and Akane's (the duck) wedding. Just as the wedding is about to begin, Akane comes home. She hits Ranma. Akane sets up a fight between Ranma and Moose. Shampoo says that if Moose wins, she'll go out with him. Akane tells Ranma to lose on purpose so that he doesn't have to marry Shampoo. As the fight begins, Shampoo gives Moose as special weapon.

But he struggles to fight again. Ranma starts to feel sorry for Moose. He then asks Moose if how he would feel if Ranma lost on purpose. Moose says he would like it. He doesn't care how, as long as he can have Shampoo. So they start to fight again. But Ranma wins again. Moose tries to get up, but he passes out.

By the time Ranma got to the open lot, the fight was already over. Akane was looking over Ranma's father, who was beaten and down on the ground. After Ranma's father recovers, he tells Ranma to stay away from Ukyou for his own good. Even when Ranma asked, Genma wouldn't tell him what this was about. Akane, who had seen the whole thing, told Ranma that Ukyou might be Genma's child. When Ranma and Akane ask Genma about it, he says no, but doesn't say anything else. Then the panda starts to cry. The next day, there was a new student in Ranma and Akane's class. It was Ukyou. Ukyou made okonomiyaki for everyone. After Ranma tastes the okonomiyaki, he remembers Ucchan.

Ryouga to Akane opening song: Omoidega Ippai (CoCo) ending song: Lambada Ranma aired: 90.04.27 This episode had a new opening and closing song! The new opening song is "Omoidega Ippai" by CoCo. The song itself is not bad, not good. A typical J-pop song. The opening animation is pretty good. But I like the previous one with Ribbon's song better. Then after the commercial, they have a short intro animation sequence. It has Happosai jumping out of a manga, the panda, Akane's family, and Ranma and Ranma-chan. This is much better than the one they previously did with Ranma getting splashed at the end. The new song at the end is pretty silly song with all of the major characters' voices. The voice of Ukyou is done by Tsuru Hiromi (Ayukawa Madoka). * * * * * * * * * * S P O I L E R S * * * * * * * * * * Ryouga came back to the city from his long journeys and happened to hear a couple of the high school girls gossiping about Ranma and his two fiancees.

Akane tells Ryouga to stop because Ukyou is a girl. Ryouga takes a close look at Ukyou, but still thinks she's a boy. Then Ranma shows Ryouga Ukyou's breasts just as Ryouga was going to hit her. Ryouga stops, and Ranma pounds Ryouga. Then Ukyou hits Ranma for showing Ryouga her breasts. Ukyou learns that Ryouga likes Akane, so Ukyou plans to set up a date for them. She writes a love letter on an okonomiyaki and sends it to Akane. It says, "To Tendo Akane, I'll be waiting for you at the okonomiyaki store Ucchan at 2 PM today. Ryouga." But, Ranma steps on the part that says "Ryouga", so Akane thinks that it is a letter of challenge from Ukyou. Akane goes to the okonomiyaki store expecting to fight, but learns that a date with Ryouga had been set up. When Ukyou tries to leave so that Akane and Ryouga will be alone, Ryouga begs her to stay. Ukyou tells him that he should act like a man and go for it. Then Ryouga faces Akane and tries to tell her that he likes her. But, at that moment, a girl with long hair and glasses comes and hits Ryouga. Then this girl says that she is Ryouga's fiancee. (Actually, it is Ranma-chan in disguise.) Ryouga is all confused now and doesn't know what to do. Ukyou hits him and says to ignore this new girl and go for Akane. Ryouga then gets the courage to tell Akane that he likes her, but Ranma-chan starts to throw cold water at Ryouga. Ryouga runs out of the store with Ranma-chan following him. Then they run to a park and hide from Ukyou and Akane. Ranma-chan tells Ryouga that she knows about him turning into P-chan. Ryouga is surprised, and happy that this girl knows the secret and still likes him. He thinks that there will be no other girl that would like him knowing his secret. So he starts to hold this girl. Ranma-chan finally beats up Ryouga. Akane hears all the noise and comes. She pours hot water on Ranma-chan and kicks him away. Later, Akane asks Ryouga out on a date. Ukyou also asks Ranma on a date. Ryouga and Akane go to a park and are in a row boat. Ranma and Ukyou follow them around on a boat. Akane gets mad at Ranma for bothering them. Akane and Ryouga hit Ranma and Ranma falls into the lake. Ranma-chan dresses up as Ryouga's fiancee and comes out of the water. Ranma-chan goes to Ryouga and starts hitting him. She says that she's the only one for him. Then, Ukyou gets mad at this girl who is in the way, and takes a swipe at her with her large spatula. She hits Ranma-chan's wig and knocks it off. When Ryouga finds out who his "fiancee" really is, he gets mad and starts fighting Ranma. Ryouga goes to kick Ranma-chan, but misses. Then, just as Ryouga is about to fall into the lake, he steps on Ranma-chan and bounces back to the shore. Then he says good bye to Akane and runs away. As Ryouga was running away, he runs into a water sprinkler and turns into P-chan. Akane, Ranma, and Ukyou were running after Ryouga. They find P-chan. When P-chan sees Akane, he turns to run away, but Akane says come, and P-chan jumps to Akane. At home, Ukyou keeps pouring hot and cold water on Ranma because it is so fun.

Then Shampoo appears and offers her nikuman for Ranma's lunch. But Ranma doesn't like nikuman that much. Shampoo forces Ranma to eat them anyways. Then Shampoo claps her hands and tells Ranma to hug her. But Ranma doesn't. Just before Shampoo clapped her hands, a cat nearby had sneezed. The cat sneezed again. This time, Ranma hugged the cat and also screamed. Shampoo noticed that her clap doesn't work so she gets some pepper to make herself sneeze. Then Ranma hugs her.

Then Shampoo appears with some shuumai. Shampoo tries to give the shuumai to Ranma, but Ranma doesn't want it. Akane sneezes again and Ranma hugs her. This time Akane beats up Ranma. Then Ranma says, "I didn't hug you because I like you." Akane gets mad and goes to her room. Shampoo runs around trying to give the shuumai to Ranma. They run into Akane's room. When Ranma doesn't eat it, Shampoo says she'll give it to Akane. Then Ranma grabs Akane and tries to run away. Shampoo chases them. When Ranma gets tired of running, he pretends like he is going to eat the shuumai. He takes the shuumai away from Shampoo and throws one in her mouth. Then Ranma snaps his finger and tells Shampoo to go home. Shampoo happily goes home. Then Akane sneezes. She prepares for Ranma, but Ranma's body doesn't do anything.
