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

Ranma accepts a flower

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?
