complete anime adaptation?

If they skip less relevant chapters, they might be able to make an adaptation like Urusei Yatsura with its 366 chapters adapted in 46 eps. So only if MAPPA adapts the most important chapters

This is actually kind of obvious lol

@utopia- the poll results do not seem obvious though

@deg But look, It is not common for 400 chapter mangas to have a complete adaptation, and the fact that the previous version of Ranma didn't adapt the entire manga only proves even more that it won't be adapted in its entirety in the remake either. It seems kind of obvious to me.

@utopia- not quite since my hero academia is also 400 chapters and its getting a complete adaptation

@deg The difference is that My hero academia is famous, has many, many more fans than ranma ½. But we hope it's a complete adaptation, I'm also rooting for that because I love Ranma½, and this remake looks really good, but to be honest, my expectations are very low for a complete adaptation...There has to be a lot of budget and care in production.

I don't see why else would they do a remake. All recent remakes have happened because they wanted full adapatation.

@utopia- Jesus, my eyes almost burned while reading you implying that Ranma isnt famous and doesnt have enough fans in Japan, one of the most beloved classics of the most popular female mangaka in Japan history lol

He's a little bit off, but he kinda has a point (also, he didn't talked about only Japan).

While Ranma 1/2 is a massively popular classic, many people nowadays do not know of it (that's an almost 40 years old Manga after all). Animes are mainly done so that the producers can get money, with the major investor almost always being the publisher of the source material, to begin with, banking on the sales of the Anime (Blu-ray + merchs), plus boost sales of the source material (Shogakukan in this case).

Boku no Hero Academia was a very popular Manga, with very great sales both side, and was ongoing (Shueisha and Shounen Jump...). I really don't see them doing a complete and faithful adaptation of the 400+ Chapters of Ranma 1/2, unless this Remake become a huge hit, somehow (which would be amazing).

I watched a good chunk of the original but I skipped a lot because I was finding it to be very repetitive. Does anyone know if this adaptation will be shorter to get rid of the extra padding that the original had? Will strongly consider picking it up if so.

@gswelcome for sure, I mean if they would like to adapt EVERY CHAPTER, they would animate ~130 eps (vs 161 + 12 OVAs + 3 Movies of the old series) but tbf it will be even shorter because i can't imagine a Full Adaptation, I'm going for a "best of". As today we know nothing about the project, we will see...

@Fork95 I was suspecting there being filler like long series like this tend to have but even if not I do think a "best of" would be best way to go. Show does not need to be that long, plus I find it doubtful that much would actually be animated anyway would be better to get as much made as possible. A comedy anyway, no deep plot that would be skipped.
