What about Ranma 1/2?

The story revolves around a 16-year old boy named Ranma Saotome who was trained from early childhood in martial arts. As a result of an accident during a training journey, he is cursed to become a girl when splashed with cold water, but hot water will change him back into a boy. Who is also engaged to his dads best friends daughter. This anime is not afraid to show some skin and is quite funny. It is an old anime but released a new ova in 2008... it has not been dubbed.

That sounds like sum kind of disturbed anime, If I were to watch a show where a boy turns into a girl I think am going to be sick. I've seen allot of disturbed shows but that sounds to disturbed for my taste.

It was created before I was born and is rated PG.. Its really not that sick and twisted... It manly follows the main character Ranma trying to get his normal body back (stop changing into a girl) But keeps running into old rivals and people he meet in the past who he ends up fighting. He also finds out hes not the only one who changes.

Uhhh.... Ranma's been dubbed. It's been licensed and localized since the early days of the American Anime Boom. It was licensed by Viz Media, which gave it a relatively ok dub from Ocean. The earlier seasons have Ranma's male and female halves with the same voice actress (I think), which works but feels rather... meh. Later episodes have Richard Ian Cox, aka Inuyasha (or Bit Cloud or Allelujah Haptism or...), dubbing male Ranma which works far better.

I'm shocked it took so long for someone to mention Tenchi Muyo, but the TV series (Tenchi Universe, aka Tenchi TV) was far better executed in terms of the Harem-y antics.

Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure also has a slow start, but the dub is top-notch outside of a few awkward translation choices (Genebu being used to make sense of the Japanese pronounciation of "Zinv", mainly) does prevent it from being a perfect work. Still, fun show.

You can also try to count one of the versions of Neon Genesis Evangelion, if you really stretch definitions.

Dan Den if Ranma's gender switching disgusts you then don't venture out to hentai at all......also a lot of anime uses gender bending plot lines and cross dressing to make things funny for the audience and stirs the pot for the relationship between the main couple, take Ah! My Goddess, when Urd and Skuld have to return to heaven to work on Yggdrasil Skuld leaves a special flan for Keichii to eat which turned him into a girl, well in most areas I think they explained he still had the main male part, and in the manga it was a result of Urd's potions he took trying to find one to cure Belldandy I believe. So it's used in a lot of ways, I believe the way you're thinking of that is probably disgusting to you is the way it's used in some Hentai, can't remember names of some of the titles but you often find story lines where a female sibling or relative or just a friend will somehow cause a magical transformation either her into a boy to satisfy the girl she loves, or the boy into a girl to have her man and satisfy her Yuri fetish as well. Or I guess that would be Futunari then.....

And FYI sorry if the mentioning of Hentai and related topics isn't allowed here, I read the rules kinda fast so might have missed it if just talking about it in observance of the genre isn't allowed.

Newtype I'd actually have to disagree slightly on Tenchi, GXP has much more harem and ecchi in it than universe, lol lucky bastard Seina I wouldn't mind having 8 beautiful women all hot for me and all alone on a spaceship

money1246 it's 2 genre types of anime. Harem of course involves the main character, usually male but there are female ones out there too though I don't know them, and a number of love interests who all compete for the main character's love. Often it ends in situations where the main guy is with 1 girl in name but keeps all the others around too and a equal relationship is set between the girls.

Ecchi is as simply put as softcore porn to normal guys, rated R movie style. You get full on breasts shown in detail, and panty flashes, as well as some obviously full nudes but the all important area is vague or covered slightly by fog, vapor, light, cloud, a random object simply in way of the view, and many other ways. Also there's a good deal of humor related to it, as the girls are usually revealed by accident and usually to a guy they like which results in them being red and often beating the poor guy who couldn't help but be looking in her direction at that time to a pulp.
