Ranma ½ (1989)

In the kinetic world of martial arts, a quirky twist of fate introduces the teenage prodigy, Ranma Saotome, who, thanks to a peculiar curse, morphs into a girl every time cold water touches his skin. The ever-changing labyrinth of his life becomes even more complex when his father, Genma, a martial artist raised by a colossal panda, arranges for him to be engaged to Akane Tendo, a high school girl balancing her own tumultuous life. However, far from just dealing with his unpredictable gender swaps and navigated betrothed relationship, Ranma finds himself in the chaotic whirlwind of Nerima, a district teeming with eccentric characters. This includes, but is not limited to, an uninhibited amazon girl with a relentless pursuit for Ranma's affection, a boy bewitched by Ranma's female form, a grudge-bearing adversary seeking to annihilate Ranma, and an enterprising girl capable of selling freezers to Eskimos. Ranma ½, based on Rumiko Takahashi's imaginative storytelling, is a vibrant tapestry of comedic romance and martial arts, where the unexpected is the daily norm. This series plunges you into an animated world where every episode brings a new challenge, a new rival, or a new love interest, all centering around the unconventional life of our shape-shifting protagonist and his would-be wife.
