As for the cast, it is noteworthy that they are mostly the same seiyus as the original, with only a few changes:

Therefore, the original actor of Soun Tendo, Ryusuke Obayashi, and half of Ranma’s father, Genma Saotome, Kenichi Ogata, who appears as the narrator, will be absent. The series will be directed by Konosuke Uda, director of One Piece from ‘99 to 2006, as well as director of several its movies such as The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle and Dead End Adventure. MAPPA, known for works such as Chainsaw Man or Jujutsu Kaisen, will be responsible for bringing this classic back to televisions around the world.
