My assessment of Ranma the series (I've seen season 1 to 4)
Season 1: Excellent!
Season 2: Very Good.
Season 3: Umm Okay I guess...pretty much most of the episodes are not connected story-wise and all feel like filler episodes. Also, some of the scenarios become more absurd and/or repetitive. The only good character that was introduced was Ukyo.
Season 4: Yikes!! By this time they introduce the annoying principal and the pointless episodes become more outlandish. I didn't even bother watching the whole season.
I pretty much agree with that assessment. I loved seasons 1 and 2. Then season 3 started getting repetitive and season 4 was just horrible. I think it gets better after season 4 though. Seasons 5 and 6 are back to repetetive again. Although in season 6, tey try to focus a little more on just Ranma and Akane. Haven't gotten around to season 7 yet. But season 4 was definitely the worst and even I struggled to get through it.
But if you haven't seen the OVA's, you should definitely check them out. They're some of the best epsiodes of the entire series IMO. They rank right up there, if not better than, the 1st 2 seasons.
