how did ranma 1/2 end

Watch it and see. This thread is useless.

I never saw it myself, but supposedly Kitty Animation went out of business, so Ranma 1/2 ended on a random run-of-the-mill episode. You'd have to read the manga to find out the "real" ending.

spoiler[ Yes, Ranma's mother shows up. And as DKL said, there was a promise from Genma that he would raise Ranma to be a "great man" and if he didn't, both Genma and Ranma would have to commit seppuku. Add the fact that Ranma would change into a girl with cold water and you get a precarious situation for the Saotome family.

It's been a while since I saw it, but I think Ranma got around the obstacle of having his secret exposed. His mother sort of already accepted him as being a good man, but the funny thing is his mother was in danger and he ended up saving her at the last second, only to get doused with cold water in the process.

His mother then saw girl-Ranma, but didn't know it was him. She said that girl was "nice" and that she hoped the girl would become as strong and brave as her son someday.

After that, boy-Ranma and his mother talk for a bit and she ends up leaving at the end of the episode with Ranma giving a monologue about how he's going to become a greater man and prove to himself that he's worthy of the praise she had undeservedly given him.

And no, Ranma never gets married. The end.]

Well, it makes sense, but then again it kinda doesnt. I'll go ahead and read the manga for the "real" ending...I've gotta say, that ending really does say "I more or less just wanted to kick the series in the arse and just end it point-blank." It's a shame~ but ah, well.

I've heard that Maison Ikkoku had a very conclusive and satisfying ending that wraps up things nicely. But yes, her endings seem to be either brilliant or completely uninspired. I thought some of her short stories had excellent endings and twists at the end, but it seems like her longer ones aren't very good... I really hope she comes up with a good one for the Inu-Yasha manga, since it seems like it'll end in the next year or so. But to be honest, I myself wouldn't know how to resolve all those story threads. I mean, how is one supposed to resolve something as impossible as the Kikyo x Kagome x Inu-Yasha love triangle?
