Review of Ranma ½

This was one of those situational exploitation animes. They had funny characters with VERY intereting backgrounds but that's all they had going. There wan no coherent story and though there was a possible satisfying end (which they met in the anime), they showed no real progression to it. The two people that are ment to be together in the end move from strangers to a love-hate relationship but where that relationship was supposed to progress more towards the love half, the ratio between the love-hate stayed exactly the same throughout. Also, any story that lasted usually wasn't much longer than 3 episodes. You can practicallyhearthe author saying: "Okay, so I have some characters with really great potential (funny, heart-warming, etc) how many situations can I put them in?" As entertaining as the variety is, it doesn't change the fact that just like Detective Conan or Pokemon, it still 100% filler.
