The OAV series of Ranma 1/2 is definitely not for those who have never seen the series before. The OAVs pretty much assume you know quite a bit about the series and go from there. I would STRONGLY suggest you watch the first few seasons of the TV series before you watch the OAVs. But when you do . . . it will be worth the wait.

The OAVs for the Ranma 1/2 series are exciting, are VERY well done both graphically and musically. The storylines are awesome, and well outside the standard panty-stealing, aqua-transexual stuff we usually see. Almost every one of the OAVs is an adventure of some sort, although a few of them are more like gloried TV episodes - such as the Christmas special one.

Over all if you like Ranma 1/2 you will love the OAV series. If you like anime in general, but have never seen Ranma 1/2 I would watch a few episodes before you dive into the OAV.
