Query: Off to a weak start.

After seeing all of the other parts of the Ranma 1/2 anime, I was so disapointed in this one. It is obvious why the series was almost cancelled in Japan, as the writers didn't really feel how to get the series together adapting Takahashi's series, as with most writers trying to work a series out when it starts. They slaughtered the characters of Ranma and Akane in this one, as it seems Ranma's always making a rude comment and Akane's hitting Ranma every ten seconds. It's also obvious that the dub actors are really trying to get the feel of the original characters, just check out Ranma's voice in the English version(he sounds awful!) compared to the Japanese version. I think it would be best to skip this one.
