After weeks of feverish hypothesis, it was as much as mangaka Rumiko Takahashi to substantiate on X that Ranma 1/2 is certainly getting an anime remake, with extra particulars to observe on July 17 by way of information stream.
Initially animated by Studio Deen in 1989, the collection was a worldwide hit (though sadly not in Britain) and was a sequel to the creator’s earlier massive hit, Urusei Yatsura. With David Manufacturing Studio’s remake of Lum and Ataru’s adventures wrapping up after two seasons, the timing appears good to maneuver on to Takahashi’s subsequent opus.
The gender-bending comedy first appeared in 1987, with the titular Ranma cursed to show into a lady when splashed with chilly water, and reverting to his male type when uncovered to scorching water. As a collection of fiancées chase ‘their’ husbands, the collection combines romance, comedy and martial arts to nice impact.
It is going to be fascinating to see how a contemporary collection handles the quantity of nudity (all for comedic functions) that was prevalent within the authentic work, or whether or not the collection shall be as dense as Urusei Yatsura, with solely 48 episodes within the remake in comparison with the unique collection 194. It could be good to have a extra decisive ending to Ranma, one thing that David Manufacturing dealt with excellently with their very characterful emotions between Lum and Ataru.
Now we wait till July 17 for extra data. Let’s hope a brand new collection brings new figures (one thing sorely missing for Ranma followers) and maybe a deluxe manga launch as properly.
