Ranma 1/2: Nihao My Concubine (Chuugoku Nekonron Daikessen)

Aired: 1991

The second theatrical feature of Rumiko Takahashi's martial-arts romantic comedy Ranma 1/2. What begins as an idyllic seaside cruise for Akane, Ranma, Ukyo and Shampoo quickly turns chaotic when the group is dragged into an absurd kidnapping plot tied to the customs of the legendary Chinese region of Nekonron and the schemes of a self-styled prince named Toma. With his fiancees abducted, Ranma's crew chases across mainland China through a gauntlet of opponents in a grand, big-screen martial-arts adventure. The film perfectly balances slapstick comedy, breathless action and romantic mischief, becoming one of the most beloved entries in the entire Ranma franchise.
