So Ranma 1/2 is still regarded as pretty much the
best anime ever, right? That hasn't been revoked yet? I don't really keep up on these things.

We all know the story. It's about a man cursed to transform into a woman when doused with cold water! And he's only able to turn back when doused again--but the water needs to be hot. Such easy gender-flipping made it a perennial favorite for transsexuals everywhere! Also, a screwball romantic martial-arts comedy.

His rival Ryoga here is under a similar curse. In his case he turns into an ADORABLE PIGGY with cold water, and turns back to a man with hot. His transformations usually resulted in nudity! Ranma's too, now that I think about it. Man, the people in that show took a lot of baths.

Although both versions of him/her are cute, this post will focus on Ranma's male form, for, uh, the obvious reasons.



Ranma 1/2 doesn't have enough hot fanart.
