STORY Anime Movie Synopsis: "Ranma Saotome, an egotistial misogynist, believes himself to be an invincible martial artist--which may be true. However, he has several problems which cause weaknesses in other areas. Most noticeable is the fact that Ranma is cursed: He turns into a girl when doused with cold water, and can only change back with the aid of hot water. Then, there is his arranged marriage to a violent tom-boy (Akane), his two other accidental fiances (Shampoo & Ukyo), his incredibly powerful and stupid enemies, and the fact that all of this chaos has made it difficult for him to concentrate on his highschool homework. This movie finds Ranma and his friends stranded on an island and under attack from a young prince seeking the perfect bride. Can Ranma, disguised in his girl form, infiltrate the prince's stronghold and rescue Akane, her sisters, and his other two fiances? Or will he become obsessed with the Anything Goes Martial Arts Bridal Competition? Hilarious, gender-bending comedy from the master of the absurd - Rumiko Takahashi." |
