The official website of the new Ranma ½ anime series revealed additional cast and the first promotional video for the second season on Sunday. The second season adapting Rumiko Takahashi's action comedy manga will begin airing on Nippon Television Network in October 2025. Netflix will exclusively stream the anime.

Cast
Ukyou Kuonji: Kaori Nazuka (Kidou Senshi Gundam: GQuuuuuuX)
Mousse: Toshihiko Seki (Pluto)
Happosai: Kazuhiko Inoue (Mob Psycho 100)
Cologne: Ako Mayama (Fairy Tail)
Gosunkugi Hikaru: Akira Ishida (Ore dake Level Up na Ken Season 2)

Kousuke Kawamura (Eiyuu Kyoushitsu) is joining the staff as a chief animation director. Ryuuta Hayashi (Kenka Dokugaku) is directing the art alongside Chihiro Ookawa.

Kounosuke Uda (Days) is returning to helm the anime at MAPPA. Returning key staff include series composer Kimiko Ueno (Dungeon Meshi), character designer Hiromi Taniguchi (Youjo Senki sub-character design) and music composer Kaoru Wada (InuYasha).

The first season aired in 12 episodes in Fall 2024. Netflix streamed the anime with multiple subtitles and dubs.

Rumiko serialized the manga in Shounen Sunday from August 1987 to February 1996. Shogakugan published the 38th and the final volume in June 1996. VIZ Media licensed the manga in English in May 1993 and released the 38th volume in November 2006.

Still waiting for the uncensored blu-ray release of the first season.

Also, Ukyo Kuonji doesn't appear in the manga until chapter 85, but she's already going to make her debut in the second season? Don't tell me they're going to skip a bunch of chapters and ruin the adaptation after the adaptation of the first season being perfect. The first season adapted 36 chapters in 12 episodes, so assuming the second season will be 12 episodes again it would've stopped adapting after chapter 72. So now I'm hoping the second season is 2 cours. But it seems like they just want to get to the stuff that wasn't adapted in the 1989 version, and will probably stop skipping chapters when it reaches that point.

Well, Ukyo is the hottest girl in the series for me, so looking forward to seeing her. Funny how a girl that sometimes crossdresses is also the hottest one.

How far can they go with the original material, given what was shown in the season 2 trailer?

@RippleLover How much do you want to bet that they will censor 99.99% of what he says just like so many other aspects that slop MAPPA and Netflix censored for modern audiences

I hope they will censor it. It'll be disappointing if they don't.

Don't watch the anime. It's not gonna happen.
I didn't drop the OG Ranma 1/2 even after how bad it got and I won't drop this one just for one shitty character. It's not gonna happen.
