I've just finished reading the first volume of Ranma1/2 and I went to the book store to get the 2nd volume. I got about 1/2 way through (after the gymnist match with black rose) and an emergency came up. Well a while back, I'd purchased the 1st Ranma1/2 movie and did not look at it cause I knew virtualy nothing about it. From what I see on the back of the movie, Shampoo is there. What I need someone to do is introduce me to her. You know, give me the backround of. If there's anything else I need to know about the series to understand the movie a little bit better, plz tell me. Any help is apretiated, thx.

shampoo is a female with purple hair who fell into the cursed spring which causes her to change into a cat, which ranma has a fear of. she is after ranma because she lost to him in a fight. at the time she was beaten, ranma was a girl, so shampoo pledged to kill him, but when she finds out he's a guy, she wants to marry him (both cos of amazon law - enforced by her grandma cologne).

she also has the idea to try and kill the other marriage candidates for ranma, none of which really succeed. shampoo usually specialises in using weird herbs or magical objects to try and get ranma.

hope this helps
