first time i watched it.. it's about 6 months ago; i just watching for 2 episodes then i was continuing watch another anime. i continued watching the rest of episodes again in previous month, and still ongoing.
first impression is, not impressive at all! that's why i delay it for months.. and now, i really fallen in love haha :D
some reasons why i give 9 for overall scores..
for me, the impression of watching this anime is same as watching maison ikkoku.. i must watch more than 20 eps then getting attached with the anime. i really don't know why~ but now im addicted!
what a lovable stories; even though sometimes the plot is too vulgar! very funny, but sometimes could be a sweet one.. the characteristic of Rumiko Takahashi's plot. even though full of misunderstanding, i still keep it flowing.
for the artwork, i can say it good~ sharp coloring and good movement at that era! if you are using for watching the old-school anime, you will know how good ranma 1/2 anime artwork is.
chara? lovable too, at least for me. i made Kasumi as my big-sister role (even though.. the anime description said she just 19 y'o; same as me. it makes me re-thinking " why don't you act like her.. as her gracefulness, witness, patience, etc"). and there's akane.. ranma's fiancee, a typical of tsundere's girl.. she's lovable too; as a normal girl who loves martial art. and~ dont forget the important chara : saotome ranma! even though he can change his gender, but still.. he loves himself to be a real man
