Ranma 1/2 Season 2 Announced With Hilarious First Teaser: Watch


As a long-time fan of anime and manga, I must say that the return of “Ranma 1/2” for Season 2 is nothing short of exhilarating! I still remember the days when I was a young lad, huddled around the TV watching the original series, laughing at Ranma’s hilarious antics and shipping Akane and Ranma harder than a sushi chef slices fish.

The first season of the rebooted anime series for Ranma 1/2 has concluded, with plans for a second season on the horizon. In recent years, the works of manga legend Rumiko Takahashi have seen a significant resurgence, contributing to Shogakukan’s centennial celebrations. This revival started with a complete new anime adaptation of Urusei Yatsura, which spanned four seasons before its conclusion, and now Ranma 1/2 is undergoing a large-scale anime remake this Fall as well.

The initial part of the rebooted series “Ranma 1/2” has concluded, aligning with other Fall 2024 anime schedules wrapping up. Though no additional episodes are forthcoming at this moment, it’s been confirmed that “Ranma 1/2” will resume for Season 2. The specific release date or window for the second season is not yet known, but you can take a sneak peek at the first trailer for the upcoming season in the video provided above.

What to Know for Ranma 1/2 Season 2

The initial season of the Ranma 1/2 anime concluded after 12 episodes, introducing Shampoo as the last member of the main chaos group. Compared to Takahashi’s original manga, this new adaptation has a different narrative style, which might be subtle but noticeable for fans of the first anime adaptation. If we’re fortunate enough, it seems this remake could have a lengthy continuation ahead.

At the moment, no release date or timeframe has been announced for Season 2 of “Ranma 1/2”, but its previous success as an anime makes a continuation quite likely. This Fall, it’s been one of the most popular series on Netflix, alongside other hits like “Dan Dan Dan”. So, it’s not surprising that a remake is being planned. It remains to be seen if “Ranma 1/2” will have as many episodes as “Urusei Yatsura”, but there’s certainly enough source material left for future anime antics.

Where to Watch Ranma 1/2

To get up to speed on the latest version of “Ranma 1/2” anime, you can now stream all 12 episodes of the series through Netflix. The platform offers both Japanese and English language options, with the English dub featuring a fresh cast, while the original Japanese voice actors reprise their roles from the first release. Produced by Konosuke Uda for MAPPA, with Kimiko Ueno writing the scripts, Hiromi Taniguchi designing the characters, and Kaoru Wada handling the music, “Ranma 1/2” has already garnered significant attention.

The revamped version of “Ranma 1/2” cleverly refreshed certain antiquated aspects from the initial series, making it appealing to contemporary viewers. As a result, there’s something for both newcomers and loyal fans of the original anime and manga. If this remake maintains its popularity, perhaps more works by Rumiko Takahashi could receive similar treatment in future updates. Keep an eye out for “Ranma 1/2” as it prepares to make a comeback with its second season soon.
