This production under the directive team of MAPPA has had a focus on a long production instead of last resort hires to finish the product on a hellish schedule. I hope that this philosophy stays in the company, since this anime has been quite consistent in quality in comparison to older projects.

The art direction for this show has also changed dramatically, with again the focus to get a "modern cartoon" style instead of a classic 90s anime one, with mellower colours, digital coloured backgrounds, and stylized but modern character designs.

This new adaptation under MAPPA, takes the original show and adapts it to a more modern style, using full advantage of both new animating techniques and post processing, specifically using a lot of motion graphics that allow it to adapt classic comic onomatopoeias in a quite inventive way.

Here is another scene where we can observe this.

The main change of this adaptation is on its colour design, much more pastel and mellow than the original, and in its animation style.
While the original goes for a classic and fluid style, this remake puts an emphasis on a “punchier” style, with more poses, while also being fluid in fighscenes.

The director for it is Konosuke Oda, a seasoned industry veteran that also worked under MAPPA on Zombieland Saga.
The wonderfully fun OST is composed by Kaoru Wada, who also wrote music for Inuyasha.

This anime tells the love (and hilarious) story of Ranma, a boy cursed by a spring that makes him turn into a girl, with Akane, the daughter of a martial arts, as they get into an arranged marriage.
Will they end up loving each other? Let’s join them on this adventure!
