Ranma ½ (2024) 2nd Season

Recommended watch order for the Ranma ½ series, based on release order.

MAL is a bit weird about grouping, but for the original series there is:
- 161 main series episodes
- 12 episodes of OVAs
- 3 movies
- 7 special episodes, mostly recaps and music videos
- An advertisement for the "It's a Rumic World" exhibition

So in total, that's about 186 episodes worth of Ranma ½ content, plus a short crossover advertisement.

In terms of manga, the original Ranma ½ manga is where all of the adapted anime content comes from. It's hard to give a chapter where the anime "leaves off" because so much was skipped/altered/added for the adaptation - it's generally regarded as best just to start from the beginning. However, if you really want to not repeat any stories, the main series' latest adaptation is chapter 229, and the OVAs' latest adaptation is chapter 365.

There's also "Eiga + OVA Ranma ½", a manga adaptation of the "Michi wo Tsugu Mono" OVAs and the "Chou Musabetsu Kessen! Ranma Team vs. Densetsu no Houou" movie released after the fact. It's made by directly using animation cells from the OVAs and movie, so you're not missing much by skipping this one. Maybe for the best, as it seems to be fairly obscure.

There was also a live-action adaptation in 2011.

They won't be included here, but aspects of Ranma ½ also make cameos in:
- The 4th Urusei Yatsura OVA, "Rage! Sherbet!"
- The 8th Urusei Yatsura OVA, "Goat and Cheese"
- The 10th Urusei Yatsura OVA, "Terror of the Girly-Eyes Measles"
- The 12th Urusei Yatsura OVA, "The Obstacle Course Swim Meet"
- Episode 21 of Urusei Yatsura (2022)
- Episode 17 of Urusei Yatsura (2022) Season 2
- Episode 90 of Inuyasha

- Episode 14 of Kyoukai no Rinne 2nd Season
- Episode 14 of Kyoukai no Rinne 3rd Season
- Episode 93 of Pokemon Sun & Moon
