Ranma ½ Season 3 PV: How Japanese Fans Reacted to the Remake — "Glad I Lived Long Enough to See This"
らんま1/2 第3期PV、日本のファンの反応—「生きてて良かったレベル」
“The manga ended 30 years ago, and here we are getting Ranma all the way to a third season in the Reiwa era — pure joy!!!”
連載終わったの30年前なのにこうやって3期までらんまが令和で観れるの大歓喜！！！
Ranma ½ Season 3 dropped its second PV, and the most-liked Japanese reactions were equal parts nostalgia and disbelief at the glow-up. The recurring notes: that a manga which ended over 30 years ago is somehow back in the Reiwa era looking like a movie, gratitude for Rumiko Takahashi's seemingly endless run of adaptations, and very specific excitement over the deep-cut arcs fans assumed a remake would cut — the Bakusai Tenketsu episodes, Pantyhose Taro, the love-potion chapter skipped in Season 2. There's a quiet worry too (three seasons won't be nearly enough for 40 volumes), but the loudest feeling is gratitude, with one fan summing it up: this is 'glad I lived long enough' territory.

This is 'glad I lived long enough' territory. So grateful I get to enjoy a series I was obsessed with as a kid all over again.
生きてて良かったレベル。子供の頃どハマりした作品がこうしてまた楽しめることに感謝。

Kind of makes me tear up. I'm just grateful.
なんか泣けてくる ありがたいなぁ

The quality has gone up like crazy. It never really becomes a talking point as a Netflix title, but I guess the funding really is generous, huh.
めちゃくちゃクオリティ上がってるな Netflixって話題にはならないけどやっぱ資金は潤沢なのだろうか

Classic MAPPA 👏 The art is so good I'm genuinely moved! Looks like a ton of new characters are coming, can't wait 😊
流石MAPPAさん👏 作画良すぎてもうほんとに感動！新キャラいっぱい出てきてくれそうで楽しみ😊

The art is so good!! Like it took the best of the 90s and the Reiwa era.
絵がめっちゃいい！！90年代と令和の良いとこ取りみたい
- @super-hero25👍 91
Since Season 3 the art quality is almost too clean and the visuals really hit ❗️ I want it to keep going from a Season 4 all the way to the final chapter!
３期になってから作画のクオリティが綺麗すぎて映像の迫力が良い❗️ このまま４期から最終章まで続けてほしい！
- @わさび野郎-u1v👍 2
I saw someone point out that the character designs don't feel dated like the old Rumic era — there's a cuteness that lands in Reiwa too — and I really think that's true… the designs, the outfits, all of it is great.
どこかでるーみっくのキャラデザ時代を感じさせない、令和にも通じる可愛さあるって言及見聞きしたんだけど本当にそうだと思う…キャラデザも服も全て良い

MAO airs through September, then Ranma starts in October — Rumiko-sensei is incredible.
maoが9月まで放送からの10月から、らんま放送とか留美子先凄いなぁ

Urusei Yatsura (1981–86, 2022–24) / Maison Ikkoku (1986–88) / Ranma ½ (1989–92, 2024–) / Inuyasha (2000–04, 2009–10) / Kyoukai no Rinne (2015–17) / Yashahime (2020–22) / MAO (2026–) / Mermaid Saga (2003) / One Pound Gospel (1988). Rumiko Takahashi's works get adapted so much it's honestly funny. Give us an Inuyasha remake or a Rinne Season 4 next, please.

Go! Just barrel straight through to the 'Pantyhose Taro' arc!!
行けっ！このまま「パンスト太郎」編まで突っ走れ！！

I love the Bakusai Tenketsu episodes, so I'm beyond excited 😂 My girl Akane getting fought over by two good-looking guys is just too precious…
爆砕点穴の回大好きなので、めちゃくちゃ楽しみ😂 二人の男前に取り合いされる、我が推しあかねちゃんが尊すぎる…
- @シヨウ-f2m👍 47
You can tell they poured serious effort into the Bakusai Tenketsu episodes.
爆砕点穴回めっちゃ気合い入れて作ってるね
- @honeyricecakeicecream-san👍 15
They're doing the love-potion episode in Season 3 that got skipped in Season 2!!! It's one of my absolute favorites so I'm sooo hyped!
2期で飛ばされた惚れ薬回3期でやるの！！！めっっっっちゃ好きな回だからちょーー楽しみ！
- @perinor1P84👍 11
It's packed with the goofy episodes I'd instantly assumed 'I don't dislike these, but they'll definitely get cut in a remake' — so now my expectations are ballooning: 'are they actually planning to run this all the way to the end?!'
「俺は嫌いじゃないけど、再アニメ化ではカットされるだろうなこのキャラとエピソード」と真っ先に思っていたトンチキ回盛り沢山で、 「まさかこのまま最後まで完走する気なのか！？」と物凄い期待が膨らむ！！
- @rittobas4955👍 63
Kurenai Tsubasa, the martial-arts tea ceremony, the mountain training… laying it all out, the scary part is three seasons is nowhere near enough episodes for this series.
紅つばさと格闘茶道と山籠り こうしてみるとこの作品は話数的に3期じゃ全然足りないという恐ろしさ
- @chi---yan4310👍 14
I've read the original manga… and I love the Bakusai Tenketsu arc so I'm excited!! I'm a Ranma fan, but Ryoga tries so hard here that I couldn't help rooting for him!
原作漫画履修済み勢なんですが… 爆砕点穴の回、めっちゃ好きなので楽しみです！！ 乱馬推しなんですが良牙が本当に頑張ってて、この時は思わず応援してしまいました！
- @ゆうみ-m3g👍 27
Ryoga is just too cool 😭😭 I can't wait for Season 3!!! Getting the Tsubasa episodes AND the tea-ceremony episodes remade is way too hype!!!
良牙もうかっこよすぎるてー😭😭3期待ち遠しすぎるよー！！！つばさちゃん回も茶道回もリメイクあるのアツすぎ！！！
- @hemosu77👍 21
The way these legendary voice actors keep leveling up knows no bounds… it's amazing.
レジェンド声優のパワーアップが留まるところを知らん…すげぇよな

There really is a kind of nourishment you can only get from the original cast.
やっぱりオリキャスでしか得られない栄養が有る

I think MAPPA's president once said it's planned for 8 cours / 100 episodes. The manga was 40 volumes, so at 4–5 volumes per cour, that math checks out.
以前MAPPAの社長さんか8クール100話予定と言ってたような 原作も40巻だったから1クール4,5巻分ならそうなると
- @ガムライチ👍 3
Inuyasha's Final Act was way too rushed. Cramming it into two cours was always a stretch.
犬夜叉完結編は駆け足すぎた 2クールで収めろというのは無理があった

📺 AnimeAnimeYouTubeRe:Zero Season 4 Part 2: Japanese Fans Brace for the "Hell" Ahead — "As If Everything Until Now Wasn't Already Hell"
Re:Zero Season 4's second cour is being billed as the show's most brutal stretch yet, and the top Japanese comments answered with the franchise's signature mix of dread and dark comedy. The most-liked reply just deadpanned that calling it 'hell' implies the rest wasn't — and from there fans spiraled into Re:Zero's own coping meme, announcing they were off to 'go wash a cup' to escape the despair. Web-novel readers quietly raised the stakes (one says Subaru death-loops 25 times in this arc), fans clocked that the pile under everyone's feet in the key visual is a mountain of Subaru's corpses, and through all of it the verdict held: this is going to be the most thrilling cour they've ever watched. The closing mood, after all the suffering: someone, please just apologize to Subaru.

On Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, Japanese Gundam fans look back after the finale and mostly land on the same verdict: a blast to watch weekly, even if they won't rewatch it. The thread argues over the breakneck pacing, the redesigned Gyan and Dom, the Zeon-wins alt-history, and whether one cour was enough, in an affectionate but conflicted mood. One fan sums the whole show up in five words.

On the Chainsaw Man Assassins Arc teaser, Japanese fans clocked that the PV teases the Gun Fiend stretch, not just the assassins, and braced themselves. The thread argues over how far season 2 will reach (volume 9? the movie?), whether the Darkness Devil's reveal gets the cinematic glow-up it deserves, and laughs at Denji getting run over again — under a heavy 'I want to see it but I don't want to see it' mood about the ending nobody's ready for.

📺 AnimeAnimeYouTubeJujutsu Kaisen: Japanese Fans Debate If Sukuna's Slashes Are Actually Fast — "The real cheat is that they're invisible"
On Jujutsu Kaisen, Japanese fans pushed back hard on the claim that Sukuna's Cleave and Dismantle aren't fast. The debate splits three ways: that the real broken part is the slashes being "invisible" with no wind-up, that Mahoraga adapted at the moment the technique activated rather than reacting to blade speed, and that Maki only got clipped while frozen from a Black Flash. Plus a running joke about speed-adjustable slashes that ends on the obvious troll read.
