Oh no, it's not fair to expect them to know this.  Both Ranma and Akane 
repeatedly and emphatically deny their feelings for each other, and because 
this is exactly what Ukyou/Shampoo want to hear, they're more than happy to 
believe it.  As readers it's easy to see how they feel (via thought 
balloons/introspection/etc), but it shouldn't be apparent to many characters.

Lessee, that was what Brad said, no?  Basically many of us don't give 
credence to the anime as canon source material.  Entertaining, yes, but the 
original manga by Takahashi is what holds sway in a debate.

Not very likely.  Ranma is fairly dated in Japan, so it's unlikely that there 
is enough demand for a new OAV.  However, if they did produce a new one, I 
would love to see either the Saffron arc or Akari's intro animated.

Also, I know Tarou's intro was animated, but was his return and battle with 
Rouge ever animated?  If not, this would be a good potential OAV.
