I recognize some scene from Ja Ja Uma Sasenaide ( Ranma's best Opening Wink ) that I used to imitate when I was a kid.

Very upbeat tune with some traditional Chinese sounds. It's actually kind of a surprise since the original Ramna 1/2 wasn't known for its music, and it was actually considered something of a weakness as per reviews on this website. But immediately you get this energetic, peppy feel for an action/comedy.

It’s not really new when the opening was leaked months ago, but hey, it still sounds nice Very Happy

Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1/2 both nailing the remake OP's.

Needed more female Ranma though.

Also...spoiler[More long-haired Akane in the OP than in the actual show!]

Anything Ranma 1/2 needs more Shampoo. Sorry, I used to be obsessed with Shampoo from the original series.

I'm honestly surprised at how much I like this. I am a big fan of the old school series and manga, and I think the original songs nailed the feel and spirit of the show. But this works for me more than I thought it would.

I love the original UY, but the updated version didn't grab me. I didn't think it was bad or anything, but it was almost too "updated" for my tastes. That may have something to do with my fondness for a show where the early episodes appear to have had a budget of about a dollar-seventy-five (which Oshii made the most of), but still...

Looking forward to this, and looking forward to getting snotty comparing it to the original Twisted Evil

It's genuinely crazy how long ago this show leaked that I completely forgot about the show existing until seeing this on the front page again.
