| 2024 has been the best year ever |
| Infinite growth is the ideology of a cancer cell |
| Really hyped for this, also surprised by how early it's releasing I expected some time in 2025. |
 Halloween Candies: Main:      Bonus:  |
| So, in the end this looks more like a remake of Kenshin than Yatsura? And this will premiere next season? They work fast! |
 |
| It looks really good and it's interesting to see it airing this early. I'm really happy about that. |
| I've never watched anything related to this series but this trailer looked dope. |
 |
| Damn, this fall already? The trailer / art style are good, the poster is nice, and i'm glad that most of the original voice acting cast returned, even if knowing myself i will struggle between the temptation to watch it immediately or wait for italian dub, aware that if it happens it's a 99% scenario that the 90's italian voice actors from the capital city won't return too. Urusei Yatsura 2022 was handled to a Milan-based studio and to date hasn't still received dub for season 2, but if it happens, i give for granted that most of the cast will be assigned to Ranma 1/2 remake too (not that i'm complaining). |
 |
| I'm happy that we're getting it so soon!! October is looking stacked with anime! |
 |
| Okay, this looks good! MAPPA handling this too, damn. No chill MAPPA at full force. |

Will this be similar to urusei yatsura?
| @Guilmon1 The title itself or the new adaptation? |
|
| They decreased the fanservice , that's not a good a sign |
Reply to deg
not bad the simple character designs will hopefully give more sakuga
| @deg Can you hear the whips and the screams of the slav ..... cough* cough* I mean the animators? It brakes my heart . Not to mention that this is gonna have awful animation just because the name of the studio is MAPPA. |

| @Yubisoft This is just a general trailer that covers the first 2-3 episodes. I don't think they showed much at all. @Guilmon1 This is a kung fu comedy with comedic fights (with good fight choreography, but also with the conventions of comedy animation) and the occasional gender bender. Just imagine the old battle shonen and add the MC periodically turning into a snarky tomboy version of himself. |

| @RobertBobert I don't want to be right in this case and I have faith in MAPPA and it's management that they know that fanservice is part of the fun for this show , not a cheap tactic to attract viewers |

| @Yubisoft Well, if I remember the original show well enough, they even enlarged the female Ranma's breasts, lmao. But I doubt they'll keep the permanent topless thing (the old show didn't really care about hiding the female characters' breasts during ecchi scenes), although the characters visually look older in this version. |

| @RobertBobert Personally as soon as I start watching the remake and I am gonna immediately drop the remake if it was made for ''modern audiences'' aka puritans. They can shove it , I am gonna drop the remake and just watch the original or continue reading the manga. |
| Mappa animates the remake? Oh boy. This will look good, the trailer is already promising. But 2024 already?? Damn those animators probably haven't seen their families an a while 💀 Regarding the scenes in the trailer, we will get a toned down version. Which was go be expected. Let's wait and see how it turns out. Ranma is one of the few series where I like the nudity since its not overdone like in most other modern ecchi series. |

| @Yubisoft I don't know, I never thought of Ranma as a significant ecchi series. |

because I pray for the animators they get to see their loved ones after being slaves for 3 days
| @Mr_Sai They can leave if they want and they knew what this job required from them before they signed. Crunch for every form of entertainment is unavoidable no matter how much of whitenight you want to act here or on X with your buddies to satisfy your ego. It is sad but this world is not the utopia you have read in manga or books . |

| @RobertBobert It would be unfair for me to have an opinion since I have only read 36 chapters of the manga but it does have fanservice and in today's world where they even censor and alter dialogues in games etc to not ''traumatize'' the puritans , you can understand where I am coming from |

| @Yubisoft I understand. I understand perfectly. But I also think that the time when any show had fanservice for the sake of fanservice is gradually becoming a thing of the past. |

Guilmon1 said: Will this be similar to urusei yatsura? This is basically Urusei Yatsura but where Ryunosuke is the main character and Shinobu is the heroine. So basically it’s Urusei Yatsura but with more action. And instead of sci-fi it’s more Chinese mythology. |
| I'm surprised that most of the original cast is returning and that it’s releasing so soon. I was thinking it'll at least take a year for it to release but no, it’s less than 3 months away. Mappa employees are cooked. Speaking of mappa, I'm not a fan of how drab and lifeless the colors look. Female Ranma's hair doesn’t even look red anymore. :/ It’s like they took the exact opposite approach to Urusei Yatsura remake. I saw some boomers complain about Urusei Yatsura saying shit like it looks "too bright" and it looks like mappa heard their criticism lol. Welp, at least the fight scenes will probably look decent. |
Looks good so far. |
 |
| DAMN I’m hyped. Coming out earlier than I thought. Really love the new style too, looks like a halfway point between the manga and the old anime. Pink-haired Ranma goes hard. And given we’re getting Mousse art it should at least be a couple cours, hopefully?  |
Reply to Mattinator95
@Yubisoft I don’t think it’s down to Mappa if it has fan service or not they have to comply with TV Broadcast rules and it depends on what channel it airs on.
| @Mattinator95 Assuming that ,as long as they release an uncut blu ray version I will buy it ! No prob |
Let's do this! Ranma 1/2, here we come! |

| Looks solid. I think they should have waited until the OP song was ready, or if it's ready then at least use it, because music-wise that first trailer was kind of lacking. |

| @Mr_Sai Sure, they should have handled it to Studio Deen instead! FFS, dude, Mappa is a powerhouse. It may bite more than it can chew, yes, but they're a powerhouse. |
| ah the recast for UY had me worried for nothing when, Yamaguchi etc. did reprise as InuYasha for Yashahime, after all. They've gone the extra mile and brought back most of the core cast except for the deceased and retired. Speaking of which; Kaoru Wada on the soundtrack! |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| We are already getting it this year, wow. |
 |
| And here I thought I had plenty of time to finish the original, if it’s Fall 2024 then I might not lol. Was not expecting MAPPA tho, David Pro killed it with the Urusei Yatsura remake, and I think this might also be in safe hands. |
