Story:
The best point of the story of Ranma 1/2 is that is very original, bringing us a totally new concept about the cursed springs of jusenkyo and how a guy
wants to get its masculinity back.
It have such variety on its themes: Sometimes is a romance, sometimes is a harem, sometimes is a hilarious comedy and most of the time is a martial art
shonen with weird fighting styles (Like the tea ceremony martial arts and the cheerleaders martial arts)
Mostly, the series dont focuses on the principal plot and take different ways like showing the characters, the relations between them and how they ... react to various situations.
Well, it have filler, but its keeps the crazyness of the show that characterizes it and make the anime so fun to watch.
7/10 (Good)

Art:
For its time, it got really nice art and character desing.
Nothing outstanding, but you must enjoy how animated are the fights and the faces that the characters take.
Theres not much to talk about it, so, moving on.
8/10 (Very good)

Sound:
Most of the OST of the series are funny and catchy songs that express the randomly fun of Ranma 1/2. Maybe are not such memorable songs but fits perfectly with the show, and it have a few fight songs, like the one from Ranma vs. Ryoga battle, my personal favourite.
If you speak spanish, i personally recommend to see it with the latin american dub, that is very smartely planned;For example, Ranma have a pubescent voice that fits with him sassy personality.
7/10 (Good)

Characters:
The strong point of the show; You have Ranma, that is not the tipic boring and shy harem protagonist; he is cheeky, impertinent and cynical, just like his father, Genma: One social mantained that lives of the compassion of his friend and old training mate, Soun Tendo.
Genma, along the time he spend traveling with his son, commited he to three girls:
Ukyo, childhood friend of Ranma, Shampoo, a chinese amazon and Akane Tendo, the daugther of Soun. Akane is a mulish girl that constantly fights with Ranma, who insults her calling it fat, flat chest, butch or any insult you can imagine.
Ranma have rivals and enemys too, the most noteworthy is Ryoga, who thinks our protagonist have the fault of hes...little problem.
Like i say, most of show is hold in how the relations between the characters evolve and, in the case of the antagonist, how they improve they fight skills.
9/10 (Great)
