The third promo for Ranma ½ Season 3 is out, and it does the one job a third PV has left: name the songs. Fumino sings the opening, "Sunao Miman." Yuika takes the ending, "Kawaikunai." MAPPA's remake returns October 3 on NTV at 24:55, which in normal-person time is 12:55 a.m. on October 4.
Quick answer
Ranma ½ Season 3 premieres October 3, 2026 on NTV at 24:55 JST and streams on Netflix worldwide after broadcast. MAPPA animates, Kōnosuke Uda directs, Kimiko Ueno handles series composition and Hiromi Taniguchi returns on character design. The opening is "Sunao Miman" by Fumino, the ending "Kawaikunai" by Yuika. This is the third season of the 2024 remake of Rumiko Takahashi's manga, following autumn runs in 2024 and 2025.
The team
Uda, Ueno and Taniguchi are all back, which matters more on a remake than it does elsewhere — two seasons in, the show's comic timing is a house style at this point. Chief animation directors Yoshiko Saitō and Kōsuke Kawamura return, with Riko Kaneda and Haruki Miura joining. Masahiro Kurio stays on as main animator, and Atsuko Ishida and Yoshihiro Takeda come aboard.
The new voices
The guest bench is heavy: Masako Nozawa, Jun Fukuyama, Mayumi Tanaka, Saori Hayami, Minami Tanaka and singer Seiya all join for the season. Kappei Yamaguchi, Noriko Hidaka and Kōichi Yamadera continue as the principals. There's also an advance screening on October 3 at United Cinemas Aqua City Odaiba at 2:00 p.m.
Calendar slot
October 3 is a crowded Friday-into-Saturday — our October premiere dates roundup has the full grid, and the fall 2026 ranking is where the season's shows get sorted once they start airing.
Season 3 has no SenpaiRanks score yet — it hasn't aired, so there's nothing honest to report. The board opens when the episodes do, and the first votes are the ones that set it. The Ranma ½ Season 3 page is where it'll land. If you want context on where the franchise sits historically, our 80s and 90s anime ranking covers Takahashi's era, and the music anime ranking is for the people who actually came here for the theme songs.
