Soun Tendou runs the Tendou Martial Arts School accompanied by his three
daughters: Akane, Nabiki, and Kasumi. One day, the sisters' lives are
turned upside down when their father announces that he has promised one
of them to be married to a fellow martial artist's son in hopes of
carrying on the family legacy. In addition to their mixed reactions,
when the fiancé arrives, the last thing the Tendou family expects is
Ranma Saotome and his father, Genma. Ranma has been training in China with his father until an unfortunate
accident changed them both. Now, when water touches them, Ranma turns
into a girl and Genma into a giant panda. Ranma ½ follows Ranma as he
attempts to get along with his newly betrothed, the youngest of the
Tendou sisters, Akane. As the two begin to attend the same school, they
deal with fellow friends and rivals, all of whom have something to say
about their engagement.
11:40 - 12:55 Akane-banashi 1-3
Plot Summary:
Growing up, Akane admired her father and his rakugo, a traditional Japanese form of storytelling where a lone performer, called a rakugoka, depicts a long, complicated, and usually funny story involving multiple characters, who are distinguished by changes in pitch, tone, slight turns of the head, and hand movements, all while sitting in place. But when she was in elementary school, her father and all the other applicants were expelled from the Arakawa School during the promotional test to obtain rakugo's third and highest rank of shin'uchi. Six years later, Akane, who had been secretly receiving lessons from her father's former master, sets out to become a shin'uchi of the Arakawa School to avenge her father and prove rakugo is a legitimate profession.

2:15 - 3:05 Witch Hat Atelier eps 6-7
Witch Hat Atelier
Coco is the kind and daydreaming daughter of a dressmaker who aspires to become a witch, but because only innate magical users can practice and use magic, she has to give up on her dream. One day she meets a witch named Qifrey and after she witnesses how he uses magic (by drawing magical runes and using magical ink), Coco accidentally casts a spell that turns her mother to stone. As Coco does not know which magic spell she cast and Qifrey is tracking the sinister coven that could be behind the incident, he takes Coco as his apprentice in order to undo the spell and allow her to fulfill her dream. As it is gradually revealed, the coven in question—the Brimmed Caps—have taken an extraordinary interest in Coco, hoping that she will help them revive the free use of magic, which was outlawed because of the atrocities committed with it in past times, with some of their repercussions still enduring in Coco's world. Because rune magic can be effectively made by everyone, the Assembly carefully watches over any abuse of it, even going so far as to erase the memories of any uninitiated (called "outsiders") when they discover this secret. Thus, as Coco immerses herself into this new, wondrous world, a sinister plot begins to thicken around her.

Beings who move through water as they please, masters of geomancy and treasure hunting. Yi Sa, the last of her line, runs an "underwater bank" along the Lancang. During a perilous "Golden Soup" dive, she rescues Zong Hang. Seeking truth and a cure for her own fate, Yi Sa trains him as a Water Ghost. Together with Ding Yu Die of the Ding clan, the trio descends into the primordial "Ancestral Golden Soup."
