The upcoming reboot of Ranma 1/2 released their first trailer and it seems like it has nearly as much fanservice as the original series!
The new series was announced following the success of another Rumiko Takahashi reboot, Urusei Yatsura which brought the classic anime to modern audiences.
Rumiko Takahashi’s Ranma 1/2 manga, first serialized in 1987, tells about martial artist Ranma Saotome, who after falling to a mystical spring in China, gets cursed: if Ranma was doused with cold water, Ranma will turn into a woman, if the female Ranma gets splashed with hot water, Ranma will revert to a man, and so on.
The new series also brings back the original 1980s voice actors featuring:
- Kappei Yamaguchi as Ranma Saotome (Male)
- Megumi Hayashibara as Ranma-chan (Female)
- Noriko Hidaka as Akane Tendo
- and more
The new Ranma 1/2 series is set to premiere on October 5 as part of the Fall 2024 anime season.
