* ShrugOfGod: Takahashi's reply when asked what would happen if Ranma got pregnant: "I don't bother to think about such things, and it's better if you don't, either."
* StarMakingRole: Ranma Saotome for Creator/KappeiYamaguchi ''and'' Creator/MegumiHayashibara. Amusingly, in her manga-style memoir ''Ashita ga Aru sa'', [[http://www.nnanime.com/megumi-toon/mgbk028.html Hayashibara notes]] how [[WhatCouldHaveBeen she would have been excited to play Akane]], but when she was told she would audition for Ranma instead, she worked so hard and performed so well in that role that she was chosen for it ''even though they hadn't really decided on anyone's parts yet''.

** Despite the availability of [[Creator/VizMedia official English translations]] that run all the way through the end of the manga, fans still refer to online pirate scanlations which have infamously altered dialogue, jokes, and even important characterization, leading to many instances where the fan-created scanlated version has supplanted the version written by Takahashi, helping the issue of {{Fanon}} not one bit.

Most of the teenage characters were voiced by actors that were still in their teens themselves at the beginning of the dub's run, including 19-year-old Sarah Strange (Boy-type Ranma), 18-year-old Myriam Sirois (Akane), 17-year-old Angela Costain (Nabiki), 16-year-old Willow Johnson (Kasumi), 18-year-old Creator/BradSwaile (Mousse), and 17-year-old Creator/KellySheridan (Ukyo).

** When Angela Costain, the English voice of Nabiki Tendō;, attended flight school, her sister Elaina Wotten-Costain filled in the character for the later half of Season 5 and all of Season 6. Unlike many vocal Darrins, the difference between the two performances was virtually nil (though Elaina's voice is a tad deeper than her sister's) -- many viewers never noticed the change. Angela returned for Season 7.

* MakingUseOfTheTwin: Elaina Wotten-Costain's season six substitution for her sister Angela Costain as the voice of Nabiki in the North American dub. Her performance was perfectly indistinguishable from her sister's -- many fans didn't notice the actress had changed.



** TheGlomp.

to:

** TheGlomp.TheGlomp: The very first appearance of the word glomp is in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' Volume One Chapter 12, Ironically, it's used as a sound effect during a grapple between Ranma and Ryōga and not for the affectionate tackle/hug it represents today. The first time it was used as a verb, however, was in a fanfic-style "interview" conducted in a 1994 issue of ''Animerica'', from which it spread like wildfire among fanfiction circles.

** The original English voice for girl-type Ranma was Brigitta Dau, but she only voiced the character for the first six TV episodes and first two [=OVAs=] before she moved to the US and was abruptly replaced by Venus Terzo. In this case, however, the change was less noticeable – it happened so early in the series and their voices were similar anyway – and much better received.
** When Angela Costain, the English voice of Nabiki Tendô, attended flight school, her sister Elaina Wotten-Costain filled in the character for Season 6. Unlike many vocal Darrins, the difference between the two performances was virtually nil – many viewers never noticed the change. Angela returned for Season 7.
** Kodachi Kuno was hit hard and went through this ''twice''! She was voiced by Teryl Rotherly for the first four seasons before she got too busy with her live action work and the character was recast with Creator/ErinFitzgerald for Season 5. Kodachi was recast AGAIN for Seasons 6-7 with Sylvia Zaradic taking over the role following Erin's move to the US. Sylvia ironically sounded much closer to Teryl than Erin.
** Both the Jusenkyo Guide and Dr. Tofu were recast beginning in Season 6 with new voice actors (Michael Donovan and Kirby Morrow respectively) when their original voice actor, Ian James Corlett, left the show.
