Ranma ½ (Japanese: らんま½ Metric: Ranma 13mm, pronounced Ranma One-Half) is a comedy anime about the life of a young transexual attempting to masquerade him(?)self as an actual viable hero for an anime.

Story[edit | edit source]

Ranma Saotome and his father, Genma, were practicing their own special brand of imaginary fancy A Splodey moves (I mean martial arts) in Minnesota, "Land of 10,000 Cursed Springs," near a particularly dense cluster of said springs as their first choice, the nuclear waste dump nearby, was closed to the public.

Ranma fell in one of these springs, and was thereafter cursed to become Natalie Portman whenever hit with cold water. His father fell in another spring, and is now forced to become the 1987 Britannica Encyclopedia set whenever cold water is splashed on him.

Despite their names, Ranma and Genma are not Asian-born, their full names & birth dates/places are as follows:

Ranma (true name) Albert Frederick Arthur George of the House of Windsor (b. March 6th, 1997, Madrid, Spain)

Genma (true name) Vladislav Aleksandr Dmitriy Mikhail Igor Bogdanov (b. December 24th, 1946, St. Petersburg, Russia - d. January 10th, 1992, Tokyo, Japan - age 45)

The reason Genma (Vladislav) is of Russian descent whereas Ranma is of Spanish descent is because Genma never studied in school and lived in his parents' basement. In 1967, he joined the Communist party, he disliked Stalin but eventually became friends with Gorbachev. He fled to Spain after he attempted to murder The Cookie Monster on PBS and gave birth to his son Ranma in Madrid. He admitted in the second last episode that he literally gave birth to Ranma by himself!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! HE'S NOT A MAN AFTER ALL!!!!

Why did Genma (Vladislav) die at such a relatively young age, you dumb children keep asking? Because during filming of the episode "A Cold Day in Furinkan", Ranma (Roberto) berated Genma for not helping him shovel the snow and lazing around like a cat. Since Ranma is irrationally afraid of cats because one of the Tokyo Mew Mews ate his mother's soul, and since Genma made his point by doing cat impersonations, Ranma went insane and beat his father to death with the following items: Nobody cares, though.

A rusty part of the RMS Titanic, a dead wicker tree, a bowl of spaghetti, the upper half of MOAR KRABS, Mario's head, and Chuck Norris's old laptop.

On December 7, 1993, Ranma was charged with battery after (see the character article on Shampoo you sugar-fed brats! I ain't sayin' it twice!!!) and was arrested for four years by the King of Hyrule at Guantanamo Bay.

Supporting characters[edit | edit source]

Happosai the Gnome
  • Akane- The lesbo every guy loves... or hates... or whatever... if they ever really cared to start with.
  • Shampoo (Xian Pu)- a Hong Kong prostitute who roves to speak Rapanese. She was born in Jolly Olde England but she was too stupid to speak in a British accent and speaks in a borderline racist faux Chinese accent. Mario, Jackie Chan & Michael Jackson have brutally beaten her twice because of her racist accent. She once, becuase of a cursed jewel beat Ranma to a pulp because, due to the jewel's power, she temporarily hated Ranma causing Ranma, Kuno, Ryoga, Mousse and Akane to brutally beat Shampoo whilst Ranma and Mousse sang "Singin' in the Rain". She got some nice titays though.
  • Ukyou- More fun with Transvestites... and you thought Ranma was a mess! Though this chick is quite hot...
  • Kodachi- Also a man in drag
  • Happosai- a reject from the David The Gnome series, as well as a Myoga lookalike. He is so happy! And he is not a hippo.
  • Ryouga - NanaNanaNanaNanaaa PIGman! (Alternate: NanaNanaNanaNanaaa P-Chan!)
  • Kunou- Really reeeaaally into transvestites
  • Mousse- A small tumor which clings to the back of Shampoo's left ass cheek.
  • Gosunkugi- He gets all the chicks
  • Super Hitleri- The main antagonist, who uses his superpowers for a Final Solution.

Notes[edit | edit source]

Actually, the plot line has been drastically simplified since its original conception. Although Ranma becomes a girl when hit with cold water, and a boy again with warm water, there are a large number of other liquids that, when cold, turn him into the following:


  • 8-track tape (Kerosene)
  • This was actually a marketing ploy. A tape marked 'RANMA' hit the markets at the same time as this installment in the series, and consisted of a thirty-minute loop of Ranma saying 'Help me! I've been turned into an 8-track!' This is now considered a collector's item, inasmuch as only 1,101 were ever sold and most of those were destroyed when their owners (who were not that "with it", being people who actually liked the 8-track format and all), actually followed Ranma's directions and poured kerosene on the tape.


  • Ostrich (Liquid Nitrogen)
  • Initially conceived as a major plot point, this was only used once. It was realized that, since 'warm' nitrogen would turn him back, and since warm nitrogen comprises more than 3/4ths of the Earth's atmosphere, he would change back almost instantly. When this installment was adapted for the television show, a freezeframe shot shows that he does turn into an ostrich for exactly one cel.


  • Perry Como (Tab)
  • Possibly the strangest installment features Ranma turning into singer Perry Como. Exactly what purpose this serves in the plot is unclear, although watching Perry compete in a martial arts contest while singing "Catch a Falling Star" is considered one of the 'high points' of the series. When this was adapted for the television show, Perry actually supplied his own voice. Unfortunately, this episode was ultimately deemed "too weird" for general circulation, and is now shown only occasionally, on TV Land, late at night.


  • Dr Clayton Forrester (Milk)
  • Possibly the second strangest installment features Ranma turning into Dr Clayton Forrester from the hit TV show 'Mystery Science Theater 3000'. This transformation didn't last very long due to the fact that Akane didn't exactly approve of Ranma trapping her on a satellite with a bunch of robots nor did Ryouga approve of Ranma adding a 'TVs' to the front of her name. The whereabouts of the robots are currently unknown.


  • N00b (Orange Juice)
  • Another just plain weird transformation which turns Ranma into a n00b via cold orange juice. This was also another short-lived transformation, also due to Akane.


  • Little Bitty Girly Bits (Liquid Nitrogen)
  • (early manga only) Later retconned when Dante Alighieri took over the manga-writing chores.


  • Dead (Magma)
  • (Final Manga Issue) When Akane consumes 300 pounds of Kentucky Fried Chicken, she throws Ranma into a volcano, after Ranma alluded to her hairstyle!


  • Pile of Sludge (Aqua Fortis)
  • Popeye (Liquified Spinach)
  • In the final episodes of the anime, the main characters realize that the series refuses to end with any conclusive relationship. So Ranma takes it upon himself to create some "Nannichuan" (the shit that will give him a permanent cock again.) He decides that spinach is definately the way to go for this instance. However, instead of becoming a man again he becomes Popeye (who we all know isn't a man) and procedes to be raped by Olive. The producers of the series wanted to continue creating episodes, but the writers suffocated themselves with bubble-wrap.

About the Author[edit | edit source]

Ranma and Ryouga discuss life in a scene from Charles M. Schulz's famous manga, Ranma ½

The popular manga series Ranma ½ was created by Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, although he later abandoned the quirky teen sex-comedy to devote himself fully to Charlie Brown and Snoopy. When asked about the series shortly before his death, Schulz commented "I wanted to write something that 14-year-old boys could wack off to. However, all it ended up doing was making them feel funny, like when you climb the rope in gym class."

Despite the series being an effective afterthought for the Peanuts creator, Schulz has still written and published an impressive 86 volumes of the popular series, which has run for many years. "Ever since I was a child, I hoped to find a way to incorporate my fetish for girls beating guys over the head with croquet mallets into a subculture of fanboys and perverts, and I think I have finally succeeded in that endeavor."

The 'Gay or Not' Controversy[edit | edit source]

There has been much talk of whether Ranma should be considered gay when she sleeps with men in her girl form. But what does it matter, we whack off while looking at her anyway, so we are all homozexuals too!!!!!


Gay or not, isn't it worth it?

The Manga[edit | edit source]

The manga was the original incarnation of Ranma½. The distinguishing feature of the manga is that it is is black and white, and therefore everyone smokes and talks like Humphrey Bogart.

The Anime[edit | edit source]

The anime is similar to the manga, except that female Ranma's hair color is red, most people don't smoke and they only talk like Humphrey Bogart during "mystery" parties that involve fedoras and words like 'gumshoe.'
