I'm a progressive Anime fan. I started out on Sailor Moon, and then went on to Dragonball Z. Then I stepped up to Animes with original plots, like Tenchi Muyo. Last year, a friend got me into Ranma 1/2. And I still owe him for that.
Recently, I made a top five Anime list. Ranma was at the top. Why? The amazing cast. From the money-grubbing cynical Nabiki to the arrogant poetry-spouting Kuno, to the Cute-Klepto Azusa Shiratori, Rumiko Takahashi has created characters that have a lot of chemistry. And, if you notice, there are little similarities/differences in certain characters. Firstly, most of them are very stubborn, which seems to be a common trait among creations of Rumiko. Also, take a note of this.... (POSSIBLE SPOILER AHEAD.)
Have you noticed that while Akane's cooking skills are horrible, Ranma's other suitors are excellent chefs? Kodachi, despite her tendencies to use paralysis and sleeping powder, is a great chef. Xian Pu (Shampoo) is mostly a delivery girl, but she has to have a bit of experience, and Ukyo is an okonomiyaki chef. That says it all.
(END SPOILER)
If you're looking for a good anime with laughs, action, and a little bit of romance on the side, go to Ranma 1/2. You won't be disappointed.
