EXCUSE ME!!!! But doesn't it occur to anyone that this whole debate is a
little uptight? If the great and wonderful RUMIKO (Anime Goddess) TAKAHASHI
has been gracious enough to bestow the gifts of the OAV's upon us, How can
<SNIP>
  (Re: OAVs) The OAVs (anime Ranmaverse) can not be considered canon 
  because RT was not behind it's creation.
<SNIP>
the anime was(and is) done 
  _independant of her_.

  (Re: Hair color) Saying that it is not a worthwhile discussion on
  a Fanfic ML is really kinda silly.

Actually, for the OAVs, I have found Manga references (by the Manga Goddess
herself) for the Reversal Jewel, the Kitchen of Pain, Miss Hinako, Shinosuke,
and the Phoenix Egg. In fact, only the Tendo Christmas Special and the One
To Carry On storylines have no Manga counterpart. As for the regular Anime
series, premises have been rearranged (the Ramen Race had been adapted from
the Miss Martial Arts Takeout), but I only know of one completely independant
storyline (Nanban Mirror).

Obviously, the two are not going to be the same. Animation and Comics are two
different media, and the techniques for one will not translate precisely into the
other.
