<< Your first part seems very interesting, although I must point out that

you

should fill in the plot more; i.e. explain why Soun died, show how Ranma
was involved (be sure to justify Akane and Nabiki hating him >>

Chances are he died from Akane's cooking... they blamed Ranma because
EVERYTHING that goes wrong in the universe is Ranma's fault wether he had
even anything remotly to do about it (IE: War, Clinton being presedent, the
Spice Grils, ect...).
