I hope they don't drag out the "will-they, won't-they" romance suspense for the entire series again. Rumiko Takahashi is infamous for refusing to resolve love plots in her manga series, claiming that the tension keeps people coming back for more. My wife won't watch any anime series created by her, just because she knows the romance drama will never be resolved by the end.
From my memory, the anime series danced around it until the very end, but by the 2nd or 3rd season they were solidly in a (very dysfunctional) relationship.
Spoilers for the series ahead:
I remember binging the whole series when I was a teenager, and the second movie (Nihao My Concubine) was the first and only time where Akane actually told Ranma she loved him. But only because they were in a nasty predicament and expected to die moments later. She reneged on that confession as soon as they were safe.
I remember being so mad that I had watched the entire series and that retracted confession was the closest they ever got to actually being honest about their feelings toward each other. They didn't actually get married, or even go on dates together. They obviously cared for each other, but they could never openly say it, choosing to fight with each other instead. It was a very toxic relationship, and it's hard for me to re-watch the series now, even though I absolutely loved it in my youth.
EDIT: Re-watch, not re-read watch. Stupid autocorrect.
Their relationship works very well for a serialized comedy, but taken as a whole, it's definitely not a happy relationship. Though, I'd love to see some seasons of Ranma and Akane actually being in a healthy relationship and defending themselves against their myriad suitors.
