“Ranma 1/2,” the manga by Rumiko Takahashi, whose representative works include “Urusei Yatsura,” “Maison Ikkoku,” “Inuyasha,” “Rin-ne,” and “MAO,” has been adapted into an all-new anime! Takahashi was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Industry Award Hall of Fame in 2018, won the Grand Prize at the Angoulême International Comics Festival in France in 2019, and was awarded the Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government in 2023. He is active worldwide. In addition, as of August 2024, Takahashi’s works have sold over 230 million copies worldwide. This work, “Ranma 1/2,” was serialized in “Weekly Shonen Sunday” from issue 36 in 1987 to issue 12 in 1996, and is still a hugely popular masterpiece today. The story begins when Genma Saotome and his son Ranma, who had been training in China, arrive at the Tendo family home. However, what appears before them is a giant panda and a cute girl!? After his training in China, Ranma developed a strange condition: when he pours water over himself, he transforms into a woman, and when he pours hot water over himself, he reverts to a man… Ranma and his friends get involved with the unique people around them, and they cry, laugh, and sometimes fall in love in this timeless, unbeatable fighting romantic comedy. The all-new TV anime series “Ranma ½” will begin airing in October 2024. The series has generated a lot of buzz, including the fact that the cast will be continuing to appear, and excitement has been building since before it aired. The sequel, the second season of the TV anime “Ranma 1/2,” will begin airing on Nippon TV every Saturday from 24:55 starting October 4, 2025! It will be broadcast nationwide on Nippon TV affiliates and will be available exclusively on Netflix immediately after broadcast. We are pleased to announce the release of the key visual for the second season of the TV anime “Ranma 1/2”! This key visual features a large gathering of characters against a stage-like background. Ranma and Akane are depicted in the center, facing each other, raising questions about how their relationship will develop in Season 2. Surrounding them are familiar characters such as Ranma, Shampoo, Ryoga, Kuno, and Genma (Panda), as well as new characters appearing in Season 2: Mousse, Ukyo, Happosai, Colon, and Gosunkugi. TV Anime Official X (@ranma_pr) is also holding a giveaway campaign where you can win a QUO card featuring the second season’s key visual! For more details about the campaign, please visit TV Anime Official X. In addition, the second promotional video has also been released! This PV depicts the changing relationship between Ranma and Akane in the second season, and features a series of scenes worthy of being called a “slapstick fighting romantic comedy” featuring unique characters, further raising expectations for the second season’s story. In addition, the video also features the first preview of Wednesday Campanella’s second season opening theme, “Wo Ai Ni.” You can listen to a snippet of the song ahead of the broadcast.
