Ranma 1/2 Remake Release Window, Cast, and More

The beloved anime series Ranma 1/2, based on the manga series by Rumiko Takahashi, is getting a remake over 30 years after the conclusion of its second anime series. Here’s everything we know about the Ranma 1/2 remake, including the release window and cast.

What is the Release Window for the Ranma 1/2 Remake?

The Ranma 1/2 remakes series will premiere in North America on October 5, 2024 on Netflix, following a Japanese television broadcast premiere on October 6, 2024 at 12:55 am JST. Exactly when new Ranma 1/2 episodes will be added to Netflix in international territories each week has not been confimed, but it is not expected to be simultaneous with the Japanese broadcast. Similarly, it is currently unknown how many episodes the first season of the Ranma 1/2 is expected to run for or how much of Takahashi’s manga series the anime season will adapt.

Two months ahead of its streaming debut on Netflix, the Ranma 1/2 remake was part of a massive leak of upcoming anime shows, with episodes appearing online. Reportedly, four episodes of the remake series were leaked, in its original Japanese broadcast form without subtitles, and it is a tremendous setback to the series. In the meantime, Ranma 1/2 still appears on track for its early October 2024 broadcast premiere and international streaming release.

Who is in the Cast for the Ranma 1/2 Remake?

Most of the original voice cast for the prior anime adaptations of Ranma 1/2 are returning to reprise their roles for the new series. However, it is currently unknown it will get an English-language dub and, therefore, who might be in an English dub cast.
