At first I liked it, although I had to get use to the water based sex/species changes. The comedy was okay and the martial arts were interesting. I did not realize one could come up with so many different styles. But then nothing changes. It's the same thing over and over and over again. The characters don't change or grow, they find themselves in pretty much the same situations and react in exactly the same way. I can handle only so much before I start looking for something else. I ended up skipping to the very last book to find out the end. (view spoiler)[ there is absolutely no resolution. Apparently Akane and Ranma love each other but they have yet to actually tell each other. And he still has all of his fiancees and it was just ridiculous. (hide spoiler)] 
 Honestly if there had been some resolution some growth in the plot something different happening or anything else. This would have been one of my favorite series. Now it's not even in my top ten.
