The popular anime series “Ranma 1/2” recently made a grand comeback with the premiere of its reboot, and now it’s back for Season 2 earlier than anticipated! The first trailer has been released, showcasing the upcoming episodes. In celebration of Shogakukan’s 100th anniversary, Takahashi’s classic manga franchises have been revived on TV with new anime adaptations. After the success of the reboot for “Urusei Yatsura”, it’s now “Ranma 1/2″‘s turn to make a comeback, presenting a fresh retelling of the story from the beginning.
Last year’s finale of Ranma 1/2’s first season hinted at a second season, yet MAPPA hadn’t disclosed a release date or timeframe at that point. A year later, it’s been made known that Ranma 1/2 Season 2 will be premiering earlier than anticipated, slated for October of this year as part of the Fall 2025 anime lineup. To commemorate this newly revealed release window, a trailer for Season 2 has been unveiled, which you can watch below.
What to Know for Ranma 1/2 Season 2
The second season of the popular anime series “Ranma 1/2” is set to premiere this October as part of the Fall 2025 anime lineup. However, an exact release date has not been announced at this time. What we do know is that Netflix will be streaming the new episodes globally, excluding Japan. If you’re looking to refresh your memory about the events of the first season, you can catch up on Netflix right now. The team behind the first season, including Konosuke Uda as director, Kimiko Ueno for script supervision, and Hiromi Tanaguchi handling character designs, will be returning for the new season at MAPPA studio.

In this fresh trailer, we get a sneak peek at the new characters and voices that will be featured in the upcoming season. Toshihiko Seki, who played Mousse in the original “Ranma 1/2” anime, is set to reappear in his role for the second season. Additionally, some exciting new additions to the voice cast include Kaori Nazuka as Ukyo Kuonji, Kazuhiko Inoue as Happosai, Rin Mizuhara as Cologne, and Akira Ishida as Hikaru Gosunkugi. The returning cast members from the first season include Kappei Yamaguchi as boy Ranma, Megumi Hayashibara as girl Ranma, Noriko Hidaka as Akane, and Rei Sakuma as Shampoo.
Why You Should Watch Ranma 1/2
I’ve been noticing an uptick in the return of classic anime series recently, and it seems that each revival is met with significant success. For instance, Ranma 1/2 made a splash on Netflix last Fall, leading the ratings at the time, and this momentum has carried over to the launch of new adaptations like Yaiba: Samurai Legend this Spring – another high-budget reboot of a beloved manga series. It appears that each comeback is warranted given their initial reception.
Over the past period, there’s been a surge of iconic anime franchises marking their significant anniversaries and milestones by launching new anime projects. Each of these projects presents a fresh perspective on shows that initially aired many years ago, and they’ve been thriving, suggesting more episodes are on the horizon. In much the same way that Urusei Yatsura aired four seasons before concluding its modern adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi’s classic work, it seems Ranma 1/2 also stands a chance at enjoying a similarly lengthy new anime run due to the ongoing enthusiasm from fans.
