What's the procedure for paying your respects in front of a shrine?  Say,
for example, when Soun goes to visit his wife's shrine, what would be the
proper ... procedure of honoring his wife?  I know in the Chinese
culture, you light incense, bow three times, and sometimes even pour
wine.  What about for the Japanese culture?

Was Ranma's religion ever established?  Is it safe to assume he is a
Shinto (err, believes in Shinto?)?  If so, what are the Shinto beliefs in
relation to the afterlife?  Do the deceased go to heaven or are they
reincarnated?
