The 12th episode of the completely new anime version of Rumiko Takahashi 's smash hit manga "Ranma 1/2," titled "Hissatsu Shampoo," will air on Nippon TV on December 21st. The series was originally broadcast as a TV anime from 1989 to 1992, and this will be the first time it has been adapted for TV in about 32 years. The new anime is also attracting attention as it will feature the same voice actors as Kappei Yamaguchi , who plays Saotome Ranma Saotome , Megumi Hayashibara , who plays Ranma, and Noriko Hidaka , who plays Akane Tendo .

Akane regains consciousness, but her memories of Ranma have been erased by Shampoo's legendary magic fist, the Washing Hair Cosmetic Shiatsu Fist. Ranma struggles to obtain the 119 Herbal Medicine, which is necessary to restore Akane's lost memories, but Shampoo has the medicine in his hands. The condition that Shampoo imposes in exchange for the medicine is to "kill the female Ranma."

Ranma 1/2 was serialized in the manga magazine Weekly Shonen Sunday (Shogakukan) from 1987 to 1996 by Takahashi, who is also known for Urusei Yatsura and Maison Ikkoku. It depicts the hectic daily life of high school martial artist Ranma Saotome, who turns into a woman when splashed with water, and his fiancee Akane Tendo. While training in the indiscriminate fighting style with his father Genma, Ranma develops a unique constitution in China, where he trains in Jusenkyo, where he turns into a woman when splashed with water and reverts to a man when splashed with hot water. When Ranma returns to Japan, he and his son end up staying at the home of Genma's best friend Soun Tendo, and by chance he becomes engaged to Soun's daughter Akane.

In addition to the theatrical anime, an OVA (original video animation) was also produced. The TV anime aired on Fuji TV and other stations from 1989 to 1992, and a live-action TV drama starring Yui Aragaki, Kento Kaku, and Natsuna aired in December 2011, which also garnered attention.
