Ranma went after Shampoo in DSS, because it was a wound to his manly 
pride that she would lose interest in him.  It's not that he's really 
attracted to her, he just couldn't take the fact that he lost at 
something.

I doubt that just marrying Akane would give him a "normal" life in the 
Ranma-verse.  Also, in order for him to marry Akane, he'd have to admit 
that he loved her and that would also be a "loss" in a sense.

I don't think so.....if Ranma really wanted a normal life....all he has 
to do is marry Akane and be done with it.....if I may turn your attention 
to the OVA Despertly Seeking Shampoo.....when Ranma noticed that Shampoo 
was not in love with him anymore, he went out of his way to win her love 
back.....does that sound like what a person who has no interest in his 
other fiancees and wants a normal life would do?.....I don't think so.

I personally think that Ranma(and the rest of Nerima) would be partying 
their brains out that Happosai was buried under a mountain.

Also, I think Ranma would give anything to have a nice normal life with 
Akane.  From the outside persceptive, it might look like fun, but I bet 
he'd kill to have a *normal* life.

of place (this refering mainly to Shampoo).....not to mention, I think 
Ranma would be slightly put off if he found out Shampoo was gone

fight with ....can you imagine his life if all his rivals and fiancees 
suddenly disappeared?.....he would be bored out of his MIND!!!....how 
could he exercise his martial arts?
