The creditless ending video for the second season of the completely new anime adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi's hit manga "Ranma 1/2" has been released on YouTube. Following on from the first season, the video features striking pastel colors by Minami Kitamura, and features Ranma, Akane, Ryoga, Shampoo, Mousse, and Ukyo. The ending theme, "Panda Girl," by Nishina, plays in the background.
"Ranma ½" was serialized in the manga magazine "Weekly Shonen Sunday" (Shogakukan) from 1987 to 1996 by Takahashi, who is also known for "Urusei Yatsura Yatsura" and "Maison Ikkoku." The series depicts the hectic daily life of high school martial artist Ranma Ranma Saotome, who turns into a woman when splashed with water, and his fiancee Akane Akane Tendo. While training in the indiscriminate fighting style with his father, Genma, Ranma, while training in the Chinese Jusenkyo, develops a unique condition that causes him to turn into a woman when splashed with water and revert to a man when splashed with hot water. Upon returning to Japan, Ranma and his son end up staying with Genma's best friend, Soun Tendo, and by chance, he becomes engaged to Soun's daughter, Akane.
The series was originally adapted into a TV anime series from 1989 to 1992, and this is the first time it has been adapted into a TV anime series in 32 years. The first season aired on Nippon Television from October to December 2024. The second season began airing on the same station late at night on October 4th. It airs every Saturday at 12:55am.
