The 17th episode of the completely new anime adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi's hit manga "Ranma 1/2," "Fighting Delivery Race," will be broadcast on Nippon Television late at night on November 1st.
Kuno suddenly appears at the Tendo household and, in order to clarify whether he likes Ranma or Akane, declares that he will date whoever arrives at the Kuno household first. Meanwhile, a fighting delivery race is being held in the shopping district, with Ranma, Akane, and Shampoo participating. The chosen delivery destination is Kuno's home, where Ranma and Akane are eagerly awaiting their arrival.
"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" and "Maison Ikkoku." The series 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 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 adapted into a TV anime series that aired from 1989 to 1992, and this marks the first time it has been adapted into a TV anime series in approximately 32 years. The first season aired on Nippon Television from October to December 2024. The second season will air on the same station every Saturday at 12:55 a.m.
