<I just got the OAV, Like Water For Ranma, and in it, Nodoka already
knows
Mr. Panda and Ranko. When in the TV series is Nodoka introduced, and
when
does she find out that Ranko is Ranma and Mr. Panda is Genma?>

It hasn't been intro'd yet, or even put on video, and it won't be, for a
while. Nodoka comes in late in the manga, so in the Anime, it'll be a while
before her intro comes out on video.

You'll notice that a lot of the OAV's in the series are set really late in the
manga series. For example, the "Desperately Seeking Shampoo" video's
"Reversal Jewel" story doesn't show up until much later in the manga,
and the video of it is out now. *shrug* Just Viz's way of doing things, I
suppose. In the Like Water for Ranma vid you have, you also get intro'd
to Gosunkugi, but it isn't his intro story, as in the Nodoka story that
comes before it. Gosunkugi should have been intro'd at the "Cat-fu"
storyline, but the Anime has Sasuke, an Anime-only character, instead
of Gos. I seriously wish they hadn't done that - I would have rather had
Gos in there...ah well...^_^
