A new anime adaptation was announced in Weekly Shōnen Sunday on June 26, 2024.[38][39] The new anime remake series, simply titled Ranma ½, is produced by MAPPA and directed by Kōnosuke Uda, with Kimiko Ueno writing the series' scripts, Hiromi Taniguchi designing the characters, and Kaoru Wada composing the music. Most of the original Japanese voice cast for the main characters will reprise their roles. In contrast with the original animation, the remake will censor some Chinese communist symbolism. The series premiered on October 6, 2024, on Nippon TV and its affiliates,[a] with Netflix licensing it for streaming worldwide weekly after the Japanese broadcast. The opening theme is "Iinazukekkyun" performed by Ano [ja],[41][42] while the ending theme is "Anta Nante" performed by Riria [ja] specifically for the anime.[43
Viz Media and Hot Topic hosted the world premiere of the first episode on August 23 during Anime NYC. Earlier that same month, it was reported that the first 12 episodes of the anime were leaked alongside many other Iyuno localization company works.
