In the US, at least, Ranma is actually one of those shows that has a good chance of showing up at the public library, if only a few volumes. If you want to check and see if you like it, you might ask the librarians if they have it or can get it loaned for you. The first volume, vhs or dvd, would give you a pretty fair idea of how the show goes on. I have to agree with Morgorath, the first four eps or so would give you a much clearer idea than the ovas.
Actually, if your library has the manga, the first volulme of *that* might give you a good taste-test too. The style is very congruent. That would also probably be easier to get through interlibrary loan.
It's amazing what you can get if you just ask the reference librarian, even at a dinky little branch.
