You know Ranma is at its best when it stops pretending the love triangle is serious and just lets everyone be insane about each other. These OVAs understand that, Shampoo and Ukyo team up to sabotage a relationship they're both actively trying to sabotage, which somehow makes perfect sense. The comedy works because the show never apologizes for its own chaos; it just keeps escalating the absurdity until you're watching a possessed demon in a tiger diaper wreck everyone's day. This is what happens when you take the manga's best instincts and stop worrying about serialization, pure, unhinged Ranma energy with zero stakes and maximum stupidity.

Ranma's life gets turned upside down in these three standalone adventures, which mix comedy, romance and supernatural trouble. In the first story, Shampoo and Ukyo plan a trip to a cave said to split up any couple who enters it. They want Ranma and Akane to break up, and Shampoo also hopes to shake off Mousse the same way. The second tale brings an oni in a tiger-striped diaper, which gets out of the box it was sealed in and starts possessing people around the neighborhood. Finally, Ranma disturbs a doll that punishes anyone who treats it with disrespect. To teach him a lesson, it takes over Akane and keeps trying to attack him.
