   person to pull out an obscure MASH reference gets shot ;) )

 I get the bullet I get the bullet!!!!

                Hot Lips right????

*BANG*  ;)

     I've been following this SPAM-trail for a while and would have to 
agree that it is indeed red...not for any logical or genetic reasons...

Hey, this is Anime... Logic need not apply ;)

3. In episode 3 (subtitled version), when Onna-Ranma jumps out of the pool
and runs off, one of the students watching says something like "Hey, 
doesn't it look like Saotome's body just got smaller?", and another
replies with "Nah, couldn't be." (this is from memory, so thay's probably
not exact, but it was something like that).  If Onna-Ranma's hair were
red, they probably would have said something more a long the lines of
"Hey, how did Saotome's hair suddenly turn red?" 

Have you ever seen *wet* red hair?  It doesn't always look Red.  ( I
thought that was eps 1 or 2 actually )

For fanfics, though, I figure it can be whatever color works best for the
plot.

True true.  Anyone for writing a fic where a char has dayglo orange/red 
hair (which glows in the dark ;) )

Now can we please drop this thread?  (I somehow doubt it, but it's worth a
try...)

Hahahahahhahahahahaha.   Possibly.

And PhoneyNT typed:

On the cover of several of the comic books I have, Ranma (with red hair)
still has a white splash on her head, indicating a "light glint."  But
then why doesn't Akane's hair have that same glint? Why does Ranma-chan
have it and Ranma doesn't? How come both Shampoo AND Mousse have it? 
What the heck IS that white splash?

*shrug*  No idea ;)   Animator's license.

>From Ifurita: 

f) Its coloUr btw.

That's the canadain spelling....well, most canadain's spell it that 
way....I don't...Like I say Zee insted of Zed....

    ...who is DREADING a Ranma 1/2 / Brady Bunch crossover (ARG! DO NOT 
DO!)

And that's how we all became the Ranma Bunch....

that one.
