Young fighter Ranma is cursed to turn into a girl when he comes into contact with cold water.


Ranma Saotome and his father Genma travel to the 'cursed training ground' Jusenkyo in China. There, despite the warnings of the Chinese guard, they fall into the cursed springs. From then on, Ranma turns into a girl when doused with cold water, and moreover, turns into a quite attractive, athletic redhead. Hot water turns him back into a boy, but only until the next time. To make matters worse, his father betroths him to Akane Tendo, who hates men.
The charm of the film lies in the humorous and complex situations arising from Ranma's gender change. This feature both entertains viewers and encourages them to reflect on gender roles and identity. Also, Ranma's relationship with his fiancée Akane plays a significant role in the film.
The film was shot in the Jusenkyo region of China.
