don't hate for the faults of others

File :-(, x)
The Ranma 1/2 anime starting part way into season two was NOT done by Rumiko Takahashi and did NOT follow the manga she wrote. The animation for the series began way too soon, when the manga had barely started. By the end of season two they had already animated what was available at the time. As such, screen writers started to come up with filler episodes. Some of them had no clue as to why Akane acts the way she does, producing demon!Akane and angel!Akane.
Rumiko Takahashi's only fault with the Ranma 1/2 anime is in selling the rights to it too soon and without giving her creative control over it.
FYI, the latter Ranma 1/2 OAVs ARE made by Rumiko Takahashi and they are a lot better than most of the anime. The movies, on the other hand, were not made by her and without her creative approval-- so avoiding those is a GOOD idea.
