Ooooh a question for me. I was quite a Ranma addict before, still am of course, it's the anime who has done the most to me in terms of entertainment and well... everything. Without it, I wouldn't be an anime addict today. Hail to you Ranma 1/2. I still remember when I was 7 years old and I was in Spain... the hotel there had one single channel. Every day at 3 PM it showed something called Ranma. For little 7 year old Terra, this was an religious experience. The catchy intro... the awesome fun... and actually... the first time I saw boobs (even though they were animated). Very arousing for a young pre-pubertal boy I'll tell you that. Oh yes, those were the days. Anyway...
You need not worry about order in Ranma 1/2. The thing with Ranma is that almost every episode is a separate adventure, save for a few 2, 3 and even 4 parters which happen every now and then. It doesn't follow any arcs like for example Naruto does. I recommend watching all episodes first actually, to make sure you don't spoil yourself of any new characters you haven't seen before when you view OAVs/Movies. Then watch the OAVs, as they are based on stuff that happens later in the manga (even after the TV series ending). Finally watch the movies for some nonsensical fun. Hey, at least they are better than the Naruto specials...
i jsuted started downloading ranma too, i have already seen the first two seasons before but that was dub now my season 3 download is almost finished can't wait this is so much better then inu yasha
I agree with Terra. You should watch the TV series first, and then the movie or OVA does not matter. The movies are more stand alone, but with all the characters from the TV series. Actually, I preferred watching the movies before the OVA, since it did not seem to be set in any continuity.
The OVAs are the best, in my opinion. They have the best graphics and story line is better. However, I don't recommend watching them first since they do follow the TV series after the ending. I also wished they finished making the rest of Ranma, which I heard had an ending in the manga.
Indeed, the OAVs are bloody awesome. It's too bad they didn't do more, but it was really cool to see some of the manga-only characters in animation. The manga ending was not all too different from the anime one, though it did tie up some more loose ends. PM me if you want to know more. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

What the heck you on about mate with "someone that knows everything" he just needed someone who knows everything about Ranma. He wasn't sure it was me but when he saw me reply he remembered that it was I, it might have been chambers for all we know. And what do you mean "THINK" he's the almighty god?

whoo-hoo! ranma 1\2!
the first thing to watch is TV series season 1-6, then you watch movie 2, and then continue season 7 and OVAs...
movie #1 can be watched whenever you want, as long as it's after season 3... movie 2 is watched after season 7 becuase the movie has an attack that is learned at the seventh season...
however, you can drop both movies and say screw it all... it doesn't matter, even if movie 2 has a nice touch to it...
the ova's are a bit diffrenet, even though you can watch most of them at any time you want (after season 3, of course, you got to know all the charecters...), there's one exception - ova #3, which should only be watched after you've finished season 7, else you'll get totally spoilerd for the last two episodes of the anime...
oh, and read the manga, it's much better.
edit: damn, i made a mistake, i'll have to commit sepaku...
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Oh yeah Death Boo is right, how could I forget about the move in movie 2...
Except one thing. The move is learned in season 7, not 6. So you should watch all of the TV series first anyway. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
