Following its 12-episode reboot, the new anime adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi’s legendary Ranma 1/2 manga series is back with Ranma 1/2 Season 2. Final Weapon has everything you need to know about Ranma 1/2 Season 2, including the release dates and schedule for all episodes of the anime.
Martial artist Ranma Saotome is transformed into a girl when splashed with cold water in Ranma 1/2, and having to explain this to his fiancée, Akane Tendō, is quite a challenge. To make matters worse, Ranma has to face potential suitors and rivals, but his (and her) love for Akane (and other girls) will surely prevail every time.

Except that the girl picked to be Ranma’s bride doesn’t seem to like him, Ranma keeps getting into fights…and did we mention that whole changing into a girl thing?
