Ranma 1/2 Season 2: Here’s When Every New Episode Drops

Ranma 1/2 came back swinging in 2024, and now season 2 has officially kicked off. If you want to catch every episode the moment it lands, I’ve got the when, where, and what-you’re-in-for all in one place.

Quick refresher

The remake has stayed true to Rumiko Takahashi’s original manga while cleaning up the pacing and giving everything a sharp visual glow-up. Season 2 keeps the chaos rolling with Ranma, Akane, Genma, and the ever-growing pile of rivals and fiancées. You know the drill: martial arts, misunderstandings, and a lot of feelings people refuse to admit.

What time do new episodes drop?

Per the official site, premieres hit at these times:

00:55am JST, 8:55am PT, 11:55am ET, 4:55pm BST. Yes, it’s at :55 past the hour. Episodes air first on Nippon TV, then roll out to other Japanese networks before showing up on Netflix for international viewers shortly after.

How many episodes are we getting?

Plan on 12. Season 1 ran 12, and the expectation is the same here. Older Ranma 1/2 anime runs sometimes stretched longer across a cour (basically a 3-month TV block that typically lands around 10–14 episodes), but recent production schedules lean shorter. If MAPPA or Netflix confirm a different number, I’ll update this.

Where to watch

Internationally, it’s Netflix. In Japan, episodes air weekly on TV first, starting with Nippon TV and also showing up on regional broadcasters like Aomori Broadcasting and Iwate Television, then the episodes head to streaming. There are no announced plans for Crunchyroll, Hulu, Disney+, or Amazon Prime at launch, so Netflix is the only confirmed global home.

What season 2 is about

New season, new headaches for Ranma. The big additions this time are Mouse — Shampoo’s childhood friend — and Ukyo, who shows up as Ranma’s new fiancée. If you’re already raising an eyebrow at the name Mouse: longtime fans know him as Mousse, so consider this a romanization quirk. Either way, expect rivalries, weapons hidden in sleeves, and a lot of romantic chaos.

Meanwhile, Ranma and Akane keep colliding with a bunch of awkward, very funny situations while quietly (painfully) trying to figure out what they actually feel about each other. If you liked the energy of season 1, the season 2 trailer makes it pretty clear this run is doubling down on the good stuff.
