Its a comedy series by Rumiko Takahashi (the author of InuYasha) about a boy named Ranma who turnes into a girl when he is splashed with cold water. (or is it warm water that changes him into a girl?  i can't remember) There's a lot of silly martial arts fights. Its pretty good. |

To extend what Butter said, he turns into a girl with cold water, and back into a boy with hot water. And his dad turns into a panda with cold water.
Anyways, Ranma's dad (Genma, IIRC) is best friends with an owner of a Martial Arts Dojo. After a training trip in China (China is where they got the curses of transformation), they go to the Dojo and Soun, the Dojo owner, and Genma decide that Ranma will marry one of Soun's daughters to carry on the legacy of the school. Unfortunately, Genma and Soun choose the yonugest daughter, Akane, to be Ranma's bride. However, Akane hates boys and at the begining, Ranma is no different.
That's just the basics, but it's really funny, especially when Genma turns into a panda. There are 34 volumes, but I've only read 11.
I think this is the longest post I've done on this forum.

There's a lot of nudity, especially on female Ranma's part, because originally being a boy, he's not used to having to wear a top all the time. Plus, it's Japan, so laws are there are bit lighter on nudity than NA.
Also, some jokes revoloved around the nudity.

heh.....I remember in the manga, Akane was complaining about Ranma not having any "feminine modesty".
DD- I keep forgetting that Ranma once aired in Mexico; kinda odd, since it never hit american TVs.
