The 2024 version of Ranma ½ reintroduces the classic story of Ranma Saotome — a talented martial artist cursed by a magic spring that makes him turn into a girl when splashed with cold water (and back into a boy with hot water). The remake blends martial-arts action with comedy, romance, and absurd transformations, as Ranma and his fiancée-by-arrangement Akane Tendou navigate school life, romantic chaos and a revolving cast of rivals and rivals-turned-allies. With updated animation, top production by MAPPA, and much of the original Japanese cast returning, this “new” Ranma brings old-school charm to a modern audience. Anime Explained+2Wikipedia+2
