Ranma 1/2 Season 3 drops new trailer, theme songs locked in

The third trailer for Ranma 1/2 Season 3 is here, and it brings the goods: the opening and ending theme songs are officially locked in. Studio MAPPA and director Konosuke Uda are steering the ship for this one, and the season premieres October 3, 2026, before landing exclusively on Netflix.

Fumino will handle the opening theme, "Sunao Miman," while Yuika takes the ending with "Kawaikunai"—a title that translates to "not cute," which is delightfully on-brand for a series built on chaos and charm. The voice cast is returning intact: Kappei Yamaguchi voices Ranma Saotome, and Megumi Hayashibara returns as Ranma.

This is the third trailer drop, which means the machine is ramping up. After the previous seasons proved MAPPA could handle the frenetic energy of Takahashi's original manga, expectations are locked and loaded. The Netflix exclusivity is the distribution play here—the show will air on TV first, then stream globally on the platform.

For fans who've been waiting since Season 2, this is the signal that October 2026 is the date. The theme songs are the last major piece before launch, and they're in place.
