Synopsis

During their martial arts training expedition in China, Ranma Saotome and his father Genma suffered an accident, which in turn, afflicted them with a curse—whenever they are doused with cold water, Ranma transforms into a girl, while his father turns into a panda! Only hot water can reverse these changes, but any further contact with cold water opens the can of worms once more.

Unfortunately, the trouble does not end there, as Ranma finds out about his betrothal to one of the daughters of Soun Tendou, his father's closest friend. During the families' first meeting, it is decided that Ranma is to be married to Akane, the youngest daughter, a decision that is met with vehement protests from both sides. The two are simply not compatible, yet they are forced to live under one roof. Ranma's status quo further adds to the chaos, leading him to a series of comedic situations and misunderstandings that, in the grand scheme of things, may just be what he needs to work with Akane.

Well, this anime really attracted me at first glance! The different story that was clear from the beginning that we are facing a fantasy comedy romance. One of the genres that the mind needs after a tiring and heavy activity. This anime was more like a dessert than a main course or appetizer.
I couldn't believe the main character until I heard his voice! Wasn't this the same voice actor Asop in One Piece? When I checked, I realized that it was not only Usoop's voice actor but also L's voice actor from the Death Note anime! And this was even more incredible than the ...

The original Ranma 1/2 is my gateway anime. I watched select shows with my brothers when we were kids, like DBZ and Yu-Yu Hakusho, but me discovering Ranma in middle school was what lead me down the anime pipeline. I love everything about the OG show, from its characters to its comedy to its romantic moments, everything about the OG makes me smile.

To take an anime like that, that gives me such an emotional connection, and tell me it’s getting a 2024 remake, ESPECIALLY being made by MAPPA, it both excited and worried me. Ranma was finally back and I’d get to truly watch and ...

Preliminary (5/12 eps)
Review of the New Ranma 1/2 Series: A Missed Opportunity for Revival

For fans of the original Ranma 1/2—especially those who experienced it through the iconic Mexican dub—this reboot feels like an ambitious swing that ends up missing the mark. The original was a perfect blend of absurd comedy, heartfelt character dynamics, and the cultural charm that elevated its humor. The new series, by comparison, is like eating Taco Bell when you’re craving authentic Mexican food. It’s serviceable for newcomers but ultimately hollow for seasoned fans.

Story: Familiar but Lacking Charm
The new Ranma 1/2 doesn’t stray far from the original’s premise—martial arts battles, romantic hijinks, and the ...
