Anticipation for the return of the anime adaptation
of “ Ranma
1/2 ” has been dampened with the news that some episodes of the
new remake produced by MAPPA studios have
been leaked online ahead of its scheduled premiere next month. October -2024 .
According to different sources, this
material was obtained from 'a hack' to Netflix or a dubbing studio in Asia,
however, others suspect that someone involved in Anime NYC , a
convention where the first episode will be screened in advance within a few
weeks, he would have leaked the content.
Although the complete materials have not been leaked
(or at least they have not been fully distributed on the Internet at the time
of writing this article), the supposed opening of this new series has
been completely leaked showing the theme song “Iinazuke Kyun (許婚っきゅん)”
and performed by Ano , as confirmed in previous
statements.
- The
leaked episodes correspond to Episode 1, 3 and 4.
By the way, even though we paid as much
attention as possible, we couldn't see Master Happosai anywhere within this
sequence. Did you manage to see it? Although he may not
appear in the opening sequence, the promotional visual for this new project
already includes the popular and controversial character, so it is confirmed
that he will appear in the series.
Leaving that aside, the leak has
generated quite a surprise among fans, since although it has happened in the
past, it is not something very common to see. However,
all this raises an important question: where is the security in the
distribution of digital content and what will Japan think when it finds out
about this?
It should be noted that the remake of “Ranma
1/2” is one of the most anticipated premieres for the Fall-2024 season
(October-December) according to the most recent MyAnimeList ranking.
Fans have lamented that the anticipation for the release of the remake was
affected by this leak, although others see the bright side and appreciate
having this “advance look.”
