Rumiko Takahashi’s manga “Ranma 1/2” by Rumiko Takahashi, who has representative works such as “Urusei Yatsura”, “Maison Ikkoku”, “Inuyasha”, “Borderline Rinne”, and “MAO”, is a completely new animation!
Dr. Takahashi, “The Will Eisner Award Hall of Comics (The Will Eisner Award Hall of Comics (The Will Eisner Award Hall of Comics)” 2019, received the highest award at the French Angoleem Manga Festival in 2019. In 2023, he received the Order of Arts and Culture “Cher’s Chevalier” by the French government, and has been active worldwide.
In addition, as of August 2024, Mr. Takahashi’s work has exceeded 230 million copies worldwide.
This work “Ranma 1/2” was serialized in “Weekly Shonen Sunday” No. 36 to 1996 No. 12, and is a masterpiece that is still extremely popular today.
The story begins when his father, Genma Saotome, who trained in China, and his son, Ranma, arrive at Tendoya. However, what appeared there was a huge panda and a cute girl! ?
After training in China, Ranma had a strange constitution, such as returning to being a woman when he was covered with water, and returning to a man when he was covered with hot water.
It’s a fighting romantic comedy of the world, where Ranma and others get involved, cry, laugh, and sometimes fall in love with the people around him.

From October 2024, the TV anime “Ranma 1/2” will be broadcast as a completely new anime.
It became a big topic, including the fact that the cast continued to pitch, and it is showing excitement from before the broadcast to the present.
The second season of the TV anime “Ranma 1/2”, which is a sequel, will be broadcast on Nippon Television from October 2025.
It was announced that there will be a major announcement in March 2026 after the end of the 24th episode broadcast at midnight on December 20, 2025.

This time, the production of the 3rd season of the TV anime “Ranma 1/2” has been decided!
Broadcast and distribution information has also been released.
Broadcast on NTV from October 2026! Nationwide broadcast on Nippon Television
Exclusive distribution on Netflix immediately after the broadcast!

At the same time, the 3rd season teaser visual is now available!
In this visual, Ranma and Ryoga are drawn facing each other.
The eyes of the two are sharp, and Ryoga’s fingers have a distinctive pose reminiscent of the special move “Explosive Point Hole” that appears in this work.

In addition, the first PV of the 3rd term is also released!
The PV this time begins with an impressive scene in which Colon will be together with Ryoga, who hits the wall.
In the video, it becomes clear that the episode about the horror “explosive point hole” will be developed in the third season, and action scenes unfold one after another.
The video focuses on the battle scene more than the PV released in the 1st and 2nd seasons, and the PV is finished with high expectations for the 3rd season.

In the PV, the 3rd production staff has also been lifted.
Continuing from the 1st and 2nd seasons, Konosuke Uda will be the director, and MAPPA will produce animations.
While I can’t wait for the release of the 3rd season, the 2nd season of the TV anime “Ranma 1/2” will be newly broadcast on BS NTV!
From April 3, 2026, the 2nd season will start broadcasting on BS NTV every Friday from 26:00.
