Ranma 1/2 the Movie: Big Trouble in Nekonron, China

1991 · 74 min

A breezy, silly martial-arts romp with playful romance and slapstick energy that never takes itself seriously.

Overview
When Prince Kirin of the 7 Lucky Gods shows up at the Tendo dojo looking for his bride-to-be, guess who's accidentally holding the scroll that signifies his future mate? Why, Akane, of course, and the rest of the Ranma crew is forced to take a boat to China in order to save her from the horrors of marriage and a diet of pickled vegetables.
