It was pretty fun and fetishistic, at first, not completely unlike a straight Shimoneta. But there's also quite a sadness subtext in many episodes: when you rewatch it without the nostalgia glasses, you will notice that the constant angst and anxiety of many characters isn't that merry go round.

That'sa a pretty good answer.
All I can add is that it focused more on FUN than anything else. Ranma, Dr. Slump, Urusei Yatsura all had that in common about that. Even if characters had an arc, even if there was a story there to be told, it never got in the way of making each episode a fun ride.

Probably because the author can draw hot girls and make characters do dumb things in funny situations. Shampoo is still my favorite girl though, and i hate the midget grandpa.

Yes, Rumiko Takahashi. She is the author of Inuyasha and Uresei Yatsura.

I think Nabiki would sell her own family to cannibals given the chance.

Hey, unlike UY the art on the ranma manga looks pretty good. I'll eagerly await for that new scanlation.

I was going to make a joke about whether she'd sell her virginity but I haven't read enough of Ranma to know if that came up or not.

Takahashi:[...]There are three essential elements to the series: Ranma, fighting, and romance. Which story was fun to draw? I like them all. I want to draw a manga you can laugh at and enjoy reading, so I tried to include a lot of gags in every episode. I really enjoy drawing something like a "promise" gag, where a character grows tired and just goes flying off. Since the serialization was long, it could have grown tiresome if it were just "fighting, fighting" or "romance, romance" so after a fighting sequence I might draw a brieft gag episode, followed by a romantic story... in order to create the freshest Ranma, I did some rotation [of the stories].

Question: So when it comes to writing your stories, be it Inuyasha or Ranma, the ending are not set beforehand, are they?
Takahashi: No, they are not. It's better if I think about it on the spot. To force your characters to go in a direction that you have preconceived- that manga will most certainly not be fery interesting. What you think is best on the spot, right before you take a step and go forward and make the path- I think that is what creating manga is all about. That's the best way for me to create manga.

I guess for many it was one of the first anime they've seen that wasn't afraid of having very Japanese humour.
