I only read the first volume of the manga, and watched the first ten or so episodes, I liked it. I'd definitely pick it up again if I could find a good way to watch/rent it. >>;
I remember this show, I watched Ranma 1/2 in Spanish when I was about 4 or 5 when I was out of the country. My cousin introduced me to the show. The show was funny to me how it was interesting that the guy could change into a girl. I would give it anything to watch it again!
It had some of the most creative things in it that had never been done before and stuff that is very difficult to find in any good work of fiction, that is why I love it so much.
