''Ranma ½: The Abridged Chronicles'' is an AbridgedSeries created by [=EliteslayerX=] and [=ZomgRuler=], working together under the title of Zomg-Elite Productions. Like other Abridged Series, it's an AffectionateParody and GagDub of the series ''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'', taking one or two episodes and condensing it into about five minutes.
The series was first posted in August 2008, and has since released several episodes and a handful of specials. Given the comedic nature of the original series, much of The Abridged Chronicles is spent [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] the more ridiculous aspects of it, including the {{Fanservice}}. Especially the Fanservice.
The cast consists of several other fans who auditioned for certain roles, due to a large amount of female characters with male creators. There are also occasional guest appearances from interested fans, but very few get a chance. However, the amount of actors each needing to record and send in lines, as well as the creator's lives getting in the way of making new episodes, have contributed to a ScheduleSlip.
Not to be confused with any other Abridged Series of ''Ranma ½'' on Website/YouTube; this one uses the word "Chronicle" instead of "Series" because [[RuleOfCool "it sounds cooler"]].
There is not yet any web page for it, but it does have a Facebook fan page [[http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ranma-12-The-Abridged-Chronicles/163248993685242 here.]] You can also watch the episodes [[https://www.youtube.com/user/EliteslayerX here]]

!!''Ranma ½: The Abridged Chronicles'' provides examples of:
* AbridgedSeries: But if you needed to be told, you probably haven't been paying attention.
* AllJustADream: The ending to "Akane's Dreamland."
* AmbiguouslyGay: Ranma is a girl half the time, so he's probably gay half the time.
-->'''Ranma:''' Hey Akane, what are the chances of me being gay?\\
'''Akane:''' Same chances as someone putting butter on bread.
* BattleButler: Episode 10.
-->'''Ranma:''' What kind of butlers are you!?\\
'''Butler:''' The awesome kind.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Well, it IS the abridging of a Takahashi series.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Often times lampshaded and punished.
* CallingYourAttacks: Although so far, the only attacks named are "Sexy Attack" (which is really more of a description, considering who's using it), "Akane Smash," and [[Radio/TheFrantics "Boot to the Head"]].
* TheCameo: The one-year special episode featured cameos from several other abridgers and voice actors, including Creator/LittleKuriboh and Creator/BradSwaile.
%%* ClothingDamage
* DramaticThunder: First with Kunō, then with Ranma, who says that he makes it look good.
%%* EditingWorks
* EndingTheme: Various Songs and Artists from pop culture have been used in the series thus far. Song from artists such as Music/WeirdAlYankovic, Theatre/AvenueQ, and even The Blanks' cover of Music/TheBeatles "Eight Days a Week" have been used on the show.
* EverythingTalks: Episode 3 featured a talking bucket of water, although it was just the narrator speaking to Kunō through the bucket.
* EvilOldFolks: Every old person shown so far is part of an organization of senior citizens seeking world domination. It has yet to be seen if Happōsai and Cologne are among them.
* {{Fanservice}}: Occasionally lampshaded.
%%* GagDub
* HaremGenre: The harem only started to grow, but let's face it, this is ''Ranma ½'', of course there'll be one. Given Ranma's complaints in recent episodes, it's likely to become an UnwantedHarem.
--> '''Ranma:''' ''Please'' don't tell me she's going to join my harem...
* ImportantHaircut: As with the original, Akane. The episode around it was even called "The Haircut Episode! Now We're Just Wasting Time"
%%* InstantCosplaySurprise
* InteractiveNarrator: The narrator in episode 1 was fired by Ranma, and replaced by a new one in episode 2. The new one will occasionally speak to (and argue with) the characters at the start of the episode.
* {{Jerkass}}: Pretty much everyone at one point or another
* KnuckleCracking: Ryoga, with walnuts... which happened to be the only food he had on him.
%%* LampshadeHanging
* LarynxDissonance: Female Ranma and Akane, along with random minor female characters, are voiced by men. Several important female characters, however, are in fact voiced by women.
* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: Used with Doctor Tōfū whenever Kasumi is present.
* MartialArtsAndCrafts: Logically enough, considering the source material. Lampshaded with a generous helping of foreshadowing.
-->'''Akane:''' Rhythmic Gymnastics Martial Arts? That's the dumbest thing I ever heard of. What's next? Martial Arts Tea Ceremonies? Martial Arts Figure Skating?
* MsFanservice: Girl-type Ranma, usually lampshaded. No word on whether Shampoo will also fit this trope.
* NobleWomansLaugh: Kodachi. The rest of the characters tend to find it annoying.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Gee, maybe Ryōga? No matter how you abridge it, he still gets lost.
-->'''Ryōga:''' North? That's up, right?
* OhGodWithTheVerbing:
-->'''Ryōga:''' Oy, with the boobs, and the shirt, and the woah!
* OncePerEpisode: Several gags, appearing usually once per episode and including, most noticeably Genma doing something in panda form, accompanied by huge yellow letters exclaiming something. See the entry for more.
* PandaingToTheAudience: Panda interference!
* RunningGag: There are several, although technically it's more of a repetition of jokes disguised as running gags. The creators themselves admit it.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Said by Akane in episode 7. Ranma agreed.
* SelfDeprecatingHumor: The first half of the one-year special consisted of the characters pointing out the series' flaws. This did, however, lead up to a promise of improvements to come.
* SomethingAboutARose: Kodachi. Also a brief appearance by [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds Aki Izayoi]], who accuses the former of stealing her black rose motif, prompting Kodachi to quote the trope's alternate title:
--> '''Kodachi:''' Suck my rose, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]], I had it first.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Kunō, all the way.
* ThemeSong: With only a few exceptions, one of Akane's character songs, "Yasashi ii ko ni Narenai" (a.k.a. "Ranma no Baka") is used.
%%* TheStinger
* WanderingJew: Ryōga, but that's actually just because [[DirectionlessDriver he won't stop and ask for directions]]. While normally that would be just a extreme case of NoSenseOfDirection, WordOfGod states that one of the reasons they made Ryōga Jewish was because his constantly getting lost makes for a good reference to the Wandering Jew.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: "Quit wasting our precious screentime with your will they/won't they antics!"
