It had a total of 18 episodes before getting canceled because of low ratings. Studio Deen produced another adaptation in October 1989, titled Ranma 1/2 Nettohen, which ran for 143 episodes.
The series is getting a remake by MAPPA and the first trailer of the remake was recently released.

The 2024 remake will be out on Saturday, October 5, and will be available to stream on Netflix.
The synopsis from Viz Media states:
“Being a teenage martial artist isn’t easy, especially for Ranma Saotome. During a training mission, Ranma takes an accidental dunk in a legendary cursed spring in China. Now, every time he’s splashed with cold water, he changes into a girl! That would be enough to complicate anyone’s life, even without the arranged fiancée who doesn’t like him (or says she doesn’t) and the constant stream of rivals and suitors for both his male and female forms. What’s a half guy, half girl to do?”
