If you are not familiar with this anime dont post.[b][/b] I remember the Anime Ranma 1/2 it an action comedy anime about a teenage boy who got cursed to turn into a woman if he got wet with cold water, he turns backinto a man if he soaks himself in warm water, Its one of my favorite anime during the 90's. I kinda remember the censorship in my country didnt censor the bewbs on TV, Its a good anime series but it has lots of bewbs on it and those bewbs are not censored on my country for some unknown reason. I found out this is going to have live action adaptation, Thank god though, Its not Hollywood(HOLLYWOOD PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM ANIME), Its going to be a Japanese Tv show,. I cant wait! I mean no one can make better anime live action adaptation than Japan.... As long as its not Hollywood,I'm fine with it.

OMG really? where did you hear this? i wonder how they will cast this one...Japanese casting of anime adaptations have been hit/miss in the past lol.oooh and i wonder if they will finally get married!!! i loove this anime, i love the manga, i love rumiko-sensei's works!!! (sorry, the leash on my inner fan-girl got cut, haha) and yes i agree with you, thank goodness its not a Hollywood adaptation. im still recovering from the dragonball movie and that's just from seeing the trailer and reading the synopsis. i couldnt bring myself to watch it, felt it would be like going traitor to Goku's legacy. pfft. _

I hope this video is enough to hype the heck out of you, cos it hyped the heck out of me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1htG28ovrZI Hollywood should just stay away to anythingthat is Japanese, Yeah that DBZ movie is disgusting, first they make Goku White cos directors think Asian men should not lead a movie, then they turn Goku into an emo nerd who is bullied at school. GOKU doesnt go to school and he is not a nerd! He is supposed to be ignorant but badass. not an American cliche of a Nerd we who defies the odds.

nice!!! i think the best casting was that of the fathers--both akane's and ranma's, their poses are sooo kawaii, lol yea, i never could figure out why they went that direction with Goku's character. he is innocent, gullible at times especially when food is considered but he is no pushover to be bullied. his greatest moments was standing up to bullies even when he was still just a kid! nyhows, i better stop here or ill go on and on how they mangled that adaptation. lol. i always thought that the reason DBZ kai got released is because akira-sensei want to reestablish what DBZ is all about.

I remember watching Ranma 1/2 anime whe i was a kid. It was an interesting anime with unique characters too. Well if it will be adapted to live action movie then i hope it will as great as the anime show. But i think it will quite difficult to make the animal in this film to move like in the anime. Still, i will going to watch it when it released just for remembering my childhood anime show.

the live action adaptation is not going to be a movie though, its going to be a soap opera. Just like Gokusen and great teacher Onizuka,both of those anime have live action Tv series. I'm fine with it because its not Hollywood.

Thats not all they make a white guy play Goku because they were racist,in fact they didnt allow Asianguys to audition for the role Goku. It backfired so bad the movie is a huge flop.the careers of the actors involved got almost ruined as well.

Oh it is not a movie.. Well i guess you are right, it doesn't matter as long it is not Hollywood's production like Dragonbal Evolution. That movie is lame and the story are not great, even i dont like almost all of the characters and their suit designs. One thing is just the special effects that good enough for me.

Hi! Have you watched it? I've watched it already! I wasn't satisfied with Yui Aragaki playing Akane nor with the actor who played Ranma but all in all, the movie was okay. Actually, it wasn't a movie but a drama special. It didn't have any movie feel in it. It's more like an extended drama. I'm thinking they are planning to make a drama from it. If I'm right, then it would be awesome! The special was funny because the actors who played Ranma's father and Akane's father were really good comedians. I've seen them in other dramas and they are really veteran comedians. I particularly like the actor who played Akane's father. He was in Gokusen and in other Nakama Yuki's dramas. If they really make a drama out of the special, I wish they will give it a good ending!

Well, the special doesn't really have everything on it from the anime but it was okay for me. I always enjoy the humor of that actor from Gokusen (he played the vice-principal there and a police officer in Trick) so it was a plus factor for me. The girl who played the female Ranma was okay, too.

I guess I will try torrenting now. I thought its not released yet,is it good, if its good I hope it can be a full pledge TV series. Gokusen is one of the best live action adaptation of an anime/manga I had watched, so 1 actor from Gokusen might add somethign cool to the tv special.

I was actually excited when I heard that Ranma 1/2 was getting a live action adaption (more so then when I heard that Rurouni Kenshin was getting one). This was one of the earlier series that I remember watching so I have really fond memories of it. And you don't even know how happy I am to know that Hollywood isn't having anything to do with this. Anyways, I'm looking forward to this, it should prove to be crazy and chaotic considering the source material.

Hollywood just need to stay away from any Asian source material because they always ruin and white wash everything. I hope the live action will have a better ending than than the original source material though.

Wow! I remember the time I used to watch anime with my cousins at home. Ranma 1/2 was like one of the oldest anime I have ever seen!! Wait? there were censored parts on the anime? I don't remember that. I heard from a friend that the anime was very long and the ending wasn't that satisfactory! Good thing, Hollywood is not there to intervene. They are horrible when making movies out from an anime. Look what they did to dragonball! it was one of the most terrible movies i've seen! almost insulting to the anime! japanese tv show? I hope they post it on some website for us to watch online.

I fully remember this anime and there was really no censorship on those scenes. If I am not mistaken, this was shown on RPN9. Maybe it was because during those days wherein blackout is rampant, that the MTRCB board thought that censoring this is useless when you can't even open your TV. Just my wild guess :)

MTRCB never censoired RPN at all, I remember 5 years ago RPN aired Australia's next top model, In Australia showing bewbs is legal on TV, guess what they didnt censor the bewbs. My sister told me during the late 80's RPN use to air r18 movies

Yeah, for some reason, Japan anime is the best one. They have a good story to children. They teach how to live, and there are so many kind things they teach to us from the story. But something i don't like is, japan anime use a standart grapich and animation. Maybe, if they improve the grapich and animation, it will be more interesting to watch.

Now that you mention it, japan anime do using standard graphic and animation. It only improve a bit in the movies. Well i guess thats the trademark of japan anime, because if they change the graphics using 3D like American cartoon then it will be not anime anymore. But i guess if they want to make a movie using the 3D like Final Fantasy Advent Children then it would be great too because i like that Final Fantasy movie so much and i thinks the graphics are really cool.

there is no need to call anime "Japan anime" because all anime are from Japan, those things created outside Japan are called cartoons. Anime started as a "japanese cartoon" but now Anime is a different category from cartoon. Calling anime cartoon is insulting to anime fans.
