I just couldn't resist joining in on this...

    Just a few minor points on it.

I don't see how this would affect things.  For that matter, he might
view their powers as really advanced chi techniques.  He tends to show a
lot of respect for that sort of thing.

    Nah, I really doubt so. Have you ever seen him showing respect to Cologne or
Happosai when they're better than him? And probably knows lots of chi techniques
too??

They do save the world many times though, which would probably earn his
respect,
and their powers would just help up his respect for them.

This would be his first personal encounter with them--everything he
knows about them would be off the television.  And it's well-established
in the SM canon that the Senshi get pretty good press (note Shingo's
adoration, despite him having less use for "girls" than Ranma).
Celebrity can screw up a lot of folks "normal" attitudes.  I know a fair
number of mildly prejudicial people on the subject of race who think
Michael Jordan is the Second Coming.

    I don't know bout this. First of all, I don't think Ranma even pays much
attention to the press. He just doesn't seem the type, anyone dis/agree with me
on this point? Plus, he's not likely to think of them as above himself in
skill/power/fighting ability. I mean he's Ranma for goodness sake. He just
doesn't seem the type to believe what the papers are saying without seeing for
himself. At most, if he heard the Sailors were really that good, he'd travel to
Juuban and challenge them to see for himself. But until then, he wouldn't think
much of them.

He might not really see them as 'girls.'  He would probably see them as
super hero type people.  I mean, he fought with Cologne, and she's
female.

Genma manages to say all this with a look.  Soun would have had to
express it out loud.

    He'll probably try to engage Ranma to the Senshi in exchange for them not
tearing down their house ^_^. Seriously though, this doesn't sound like what
Genma would even think of. He'd most likely encourage Ranma to beat the Senshi
then shift the blame and hide away when trouble comes.

Genma was scared for his life though, and you see how much he sucks up
to
Happosei when he thinks Happi is going to do something.

Honestly, there's not enough to get a good idea of the series.  Characterisations
were...squeaky at some portions. Akane and Ranma's relationship seems to have
gotten lots better. What bout the rest of the fiancees though? Nabiki would have
sold them the information that Ranma was going to fight the Sailors?  I wouldn't
want to be there when their jealousy flares.....

Well, I've heard lots of people say that Nabiki really does want Ranma
and Akane
together after the manga's over, so she could help them along.

Thanks a lot of not sticking Ranma into a fuku, but just be sure not to
stick
him in a tux and throw deadly roses. ^_-

Just my thoughts,
