It has been revealed that a completely new anime second season of Rumiko Takahashi 's hit manga "Ranma 1/2" will be produced. The series was broadcast as a TV anime from 1989 to 1992, and this is 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 Ranma Saotome , Megumi Hayashibara , who plays Ranma, and Noriko Hidaka , who plays Akane Tendo . The first season began airing on Nippon TV in October, and the final episode was the 12th episode, which aired late at night on December 21st.

A teaser trailer announcing the second season was also released. In the latter half of the video, a scene is shown of a hidden weapon flying towards the viewer, with a newly recorded line from a male character saying, "Prepare yourself, Ranma Saotome."

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 original video animation (OVA) was also produced. A TV anime was broadcast on Fuji TV and other stations from 1989 to 1992, and a live-action TV drama starring Yui Aragaki, Kento Kaku, and Natsuna was broadcast in December 2011, which also attracted attention.
