Rumiko Takashashi's classic returns
Written by Ross Locksley on 17 Sep 2025
Rumiko Takahashi's 80's martial arts comedy returns to Netflix on October 4th. A new series brings new problems for Ranma and Akane's troubled love-life, with the introduction of fan-favourite fiance candidate Ukyo Kuonji and his father's master, the perverted Happosai, also making a troubling appearance.
It looks as though Shampoo will be back too, bringing with her a determined Great Grandma in Cologne and an infatuated young man named Mousse who wants Ranma out of the way so he can have Shampoo for himself.
A new season brings a new promotional image and trailer, both of which you can enjoy below:
