Mappa, the studio behind huge sequence like Jujutsu Kaisen and Assault on Titan, is taking up the remake of Ranma 1/2 subsequent for Netflix.
Final month, in celebration of the unique Ranma 1/2 anime, it was introduced that the basic sequence could be getting a model new adaptation. Not a lot was shared about it on the time, however earlier right now it was revealed that none aside from Mappa, the marginally newer, rougher child on the anime block, shall be dealing with the upcoming adaptation, with a primary trailer exhibiting off the brand new sequence. And, maybe unsurprisingly, it seems nice! The quick trailer confirmed off loads of fights, mishaps, and extra, and proper off the bat it is trying like a powerful adaptation – particularly I am loving the colors, which actually really feel like a contemporary tackle 80s/ 90s anime colouring. Here is hoping this spells the tip of lifeless anime color palettes!
Importantly, there are some huge names hooked up to the venture – particularly, a majority of the unique forged are again to reprise their roles. There are some adjustments right here and there, for causes that are not fully clear, however for essentially the most half everyone seems to be again, which I am certain shall be welcome information to followers of the unique anime. On prime of that, Konosuke Uda, an early director of the One Piece anime, shall be directing this take, with the sequence being written by Kimiko Ueno (Scrumptious in Dungeon), character designs by Hiromi Taniguchi (FLCL Various costume designer) and music by Kaoru Wada (Inuyasha).
On the opening entrance, there’s one other huge title too: Ano, who you will in all probability greatest know from Chainsaw Man’s Chu, Tayousei ending – or extra just lately as one of many leads in Useless Useless Demons Dededede Destruction.
Mappa describes the sequence: “Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendo of Tendo Dojo are betrothed to one another by their mother and father. However Ranma faces a singular drawback… Ever since he fell into the cursed springs of Jusenkyo whereas coaching in China, his physique has acquired the peculiar trait of remodeling into a woman when doused with chilly water and reverting to a boy with scorching water. Prepare for the slapstick, action-packed rom com that includes Ranma, Akane, and a vibrant forged of distinctive characters!”
Better of all, you do not have to attend all that lengthy for it, because it’s set to air on Netflix, October 5, later this yr.
