Round the World Wednesday: Ranma 1/2


This week's Round the World Wednesday is devoted to one of my favorite anime, Ranma 1/2. Now, I know that this blog isn't exactly anime focused, in fact if you looking for anime Check out this cool blog
Please! Anime  .

Getting back on the topic, Ranma 1/2 is one of those insanely fun and kooky anime that you are probably going to deny loving. and since this blog is devoted to the insanely fun and kooky it has a home in the Toon Capsule.

This anime stars Ranma Saotome, the title character of this cartoon. he and his father, Genma are the sole practitioners of the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts. The Two set off to train all over the world in any style of martial arts. after traversing the various different terrains, the two finds themselves in the Rural China to train at one of China's most Sacred and Dangerous battlegrounds, Jusenkyo the Cursed  Springs. suspended on bamboo stalks, the battle it out atop these seemingly harmless hot springs. a couple of punches and swift kicks later, Genma bested his son by knocking him into the  one of the cursed springs. you see, the hot spring that poor Ramna fell into was known as  the Spring of the Drowned Girl. if anyone were to fall into the one of the cursed springs, they turn into the animals that drowned into it's particular spring. the once, black haired young man has transformed into a red headed young girl. the father, after receive a vengeful strike from his now daughter, landed into the Spring of Drowned Panda. 


After parting ways from the Cursed Springs, the two makes their way to the Japan for there toughest mission yet. the young Ramna has been linked at birth to an arranged marriage. how will his betrothed the fact that he is now a She? 


the "lucky" lady that is Ranma's bride is Akane Tendo, the youngest daughter of Soun Tendo , Genma's former training partner, and if you wanna know how these two act and react to each other you have to watch the anime or read the manga (cough MangaModish Cough) 


all in all, this anime has a special place in my heart and my hard drive. 


FINAL VERDICT:  A+ 


SEE YOU TOMORROW, TOONHEADS
STAY TOONED ;P
