Ranma 1/2 TV Season 1 Collection

The original gender-bending martial arts comedy!

Meet the Tendos - your average, run-of-the-mill Japanese family. Along with his three lovely young daughters - Kasumi, Nabiki, and Akane - father Soun Tendo is the proud owner of the "Tendo Anything-Goes Martial Arts Training Hall," a downtown Tokyo dojo where literally anything can happen and will.

When old friend Genma Saotome comes for a visit with young Ranma in tow, it seems the wedding which will secure the future of the Tendo dojo will finally take place.

What no one expected was that due to an unfortunate accident at the cursed Chinese training ground Jusenkyo, when Ranma and his father get splashed with cold water, papa turns into a giant panda and male Ranma becomes a buxom young woman! Hot water reverses the effect, but only until the next time! Constantly chased by battle-happy martial artists and lovesick suitors of both sexes, what's a half-boy, half-girl martial artist to do?

Now, the youngest Tendo daughter, Akane (who's always claimed to "hate boys" anyway), has been nominated for bridal duty by her older sisters, while an unruly Ranma (who never wants to do anything his dad says on general principle) must come to grips with the mixed blessing of his/her own appeal... to both boys and girls!

This box set contains the entire original first season of the series and the first of 7 DVD boxsets!
