One fan posted a video showing the voice actor cast 30 years ago. Many of the comments noted that Ranma ½ had an incredibly star-studded cast, including Kappei Yamaguchi as Ranma, Megumi Hayashibara as the female Ranma, the late Hiromi Tsuru as Ukyou, and Kikuko Inoue as Kasumi.

The tweet even caught famed voice actor Jouji Nakata's attention, who wrote in a tweet that just yesterday Noriko Hidaka, Kikuko Inoue, and Honoka Inoue had sung the Ranma ½ song Heart Naisho/2 (Two-Part Secret Heart) for him.
