Ranma 1/2 Remake – Anime Visual
Rumiko Takahashi began the manga Ranma 1/2 as her third major series (after URUSEI YATSURA and Maison Ikkoku) in August 1987. The manga was serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine until March 1996. The series has a total of 407 chapters, compiled into 38 volumes. VIZ Media has licensed the manga in English.
The manga was previously adapted into two anime series by Studio Deen: Ranma 1/2 and Ranma 1/2 Nettohen. The two anime series aired a total of 161 episodes from 1989 to 1992. The series also spawned 12 OVAs and three films. A live-action television special was released in 2011.
The story follows the famous martial artist Ranma Saotome and his father Genma. While training, the two fall into different parts of the cursed spring and are cursed in a unique way: Ranma now turns into a girl whenever he gets splashed with cold water, while his father turns into a panda. Lots of martial arts action ensues in this comedy series, with Ranma's previously arranged fiancée, Akane, not exactly a fan of the whole situation.
