Full Adaptation Prediction List (if it ever happens)

I just wanna know if the first season of Ranma is really only 12 episodes long? Or is there a possibility of more episodes to air after the 1st cour?

I'm thinking it will be like Urusei Yatsura where it adapts only a certain amount of chapters

That's good to hear, I'll probably wait to watch in October, I was a big fan of Urusei Yatsura and wanted to watch more from this creator.

no way this will have 11 cours damn

Now I'm worried that the series will somehow be delayed because of this. As far as I can tell, this is a repeat of Wolverine story, right?

@RobertBobert You mean the Wolverine game?
I don't think an anime leak would be affected in quite the same way, especially when it was in such low quality and resolution, to be honest.

Granted, fans like myself watched immediately anyway because they just cannot wait, but I'll be rewatching this in better quality as well (the adaptation was phenomenally well paced and for once actually followed the manga to a T (safe for a line or two from Ryoga changing slightly, which was still better than the half ep filler and anime-original conclusion to one of the arcs that we got for these first 4 volumes in the old anime).

@Danpmss Game? What does this have to do with the game? I'm talking about the movie Wolverine, which basically lost any chance of doing well at the box office because hackers leaked a version without most of the CGI and the story became a meme.

@RobertBobert The Wolverine game, called Wolverine, and not X-Men Origins Wolverine, got leaked just a little while ago.

I thought the chances were higher that you were referring to that when you especifically said Wolverine (thus why I asked). The situation here seems to be on the brighter side though, as unlike that movie (which was a joke even in complete form), the adaptation and animation are great (you can see that even in the subpar leak). Most people watching in Japan will give it the audience they can, because fans in there are a dedicated bunch (and Rumiko is a goddess in the manga world).

As for us in the west, casual audiences will still binge it on Netflix in decent numbers most likely, leaked or not. While people who liked it may rewatch it in better quality (I am definitely doing that myself tbh). I don't think it will suffer much from the leaks either way. I'm not expecting Yashahime numbers since this will be late night, but I can imagine having a good audience regardless.

@Danpmss I've heard that despite this, Western Inuyasha fans had very divided opinions about the sequel.

@RobertBobert You can bet it was for a reason, and it wasn't just the western side that got divided. Yashahime did some extremely questionable things with central characters in the main cast lol


Regardless, Japanese fans are a dedicated bunch and kept watching to the end, (the audience was still between 3.3 and 4.5 through the entire run, which was more than One Piece numbers at the time).

What are your thoughts on the animation? Considering ranma focus on action aswell do ya think they delivered on the action aswell?
