It's just another day at the Tendo anything goes Martial

to settle a score with martial arts master Happosai. Apparently, a very
long time ago, Happosai gave Lychee's great-grandmother half of a legendary
scroll guaranteed to bring haapiness to whoever was holding it. The women
of Lychee's family have been waiting three generations now and the prince
STILL hasn't come - but of course, the moment Lychee lets the scroll out
of her hands, the prince finally appears. Only now it's Ranma's reluctant
fiancee Akane that's holding the scroll and the long awaited prince is
only to ready to sweep his lucky bride off her feet. Now Ranma & Co.
have no choice but to follow Kirin all the way to Nekonron, China, where
they find themselves in a showdown with the Seven Lucky Gods of martial
arts!
Nihao My Concubine
During a trip to China to train in the martial arts,
Ranma and his father, Genma, accidentally fell into the cursed Jusenkyo
Springs. Genma was transformed into a giant panda, while Ranma emerged
from the springs as a girl. Fortunately, the immediate effects were not
permanent, but whenever father or son was splashed with water, the transformation
temporarily reoccurred. Back in Japan, Genma and Ranma visited Genma's
old friend, Soun Tendo. A long time ago, the two friends had agreed to
engage one of their respective children to each other. Soun's daughters,
Kasumi, Nabiki, and Akane were shocked to find one of them was to be engaged
to a girl, but after Ranma's secret was revealed, the two elder daughters
elected Akane to be Ranma's fiancée. It proved to be a match made
in hell.
A pleasure cruise on Tatewaki Kuno's new luxury yacht ends in disaster
when Ranma and the girls find themselves shipwrecked on the mysterious
desert island of Togenkyo. Being stranded turns out to be the least of
their worries, though, as one by one the girls begin to disappear. The
perpetrator of the kidnappings is revealed to be Prince Toma, the ruler
of the island and a man desperately seeking a suitable bride. Unsurprisingly,
Toma is instantly attracted to Akane, Ranma's irascible girlfriend. But
when Ranma sets out to rescue Akane, an unfortunate turn of events and
an inevitable change of gender results in Ranma becoming a bridal candidate
himself!
Mistaken identity, gender confusion and general chaos are the order of
the day in Ranma 1/2: The Movie - Nihao My Concubine, an action-packed,
slapstick comedy-romance guaranteed to delight anime fans.
