Well... it certainly looks like Ranma.

Yep I'll say these still pics look reasonable. Still not sure how the movie will turn out. *shrugs*

Most of it is spot on, except Genma having hair. Looks decent at any rate.
"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict
Soun looks like he belongs in a mental institution. 
Also, decision can't be made till Shampoo, Kasumi, and Happosai are seen.

Ah Kasumi...my favorite of the three. Wondering how well the Akane actor can manage the cute-to-psychopath inside of .3 seconds.
Kuno is spot-on. Genma is a not quite fat enough. Not seeing the pigtail on boy-type Ranma. Wonder if they're going to true and include Kodachi in this as well.
I have to say I'm surprised. The casting looks much more accurate than I was expecting it to be.

This could be good or bad. We will see. Doupt it will ever see a release in North America.
"And for us this is the end of all stories, and we can mostly say they lived happily ever after. But for them it was the beginning of the real story. All there life in this world and all there adventures in Narnia had only be the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of The Great Story which no one on earth has ever read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before" - C.S Lewis, The Last Battle.

I think I'd pray for the sweet release of death before having to endure a live-action Ranma movie. But that's just my opinion. I think very very few animés could be done justice as live-action flicks. And I was never a Ranma fan.

good chance it'll at least be a fun movie in the hands of the Japanese.

Soun may be able to cry crocodile tears at the drop of a hat, is a coward, and lives in fear of the Shrunken Master, but anyone seeing someone looking like that guy is gonna say, "Run. Just run. Run hard, run fast, and don't look back at the axe murderer!".|

Well see that's the thing, get a director and cast that are fans of the anime and actually "get it" as far as the characters go and you just might have a winner. Or you could have a stinker like the following live actions:|

1. Dragonball
2. Fist of the Northstar
3. the live action 8-Man: it wasn't as bad as the above two but still weak. I always snicker at people that watch it and think it's a poor excuse for Robocop when the character predates Robocop considerably and was part of the inspiration for Robocop.
4. Perhaps the worst live action anime ever: the first Guyver movie. Poor cast, poor direction, weak adaptation, weak budget.....and J.J. from Good Times as a rapping zoanoid.....egad......

I would so be down for a Guyver reboot.

Guyver 2 Dark Hero was much better, but just think what they could do with Guyver and current FX tech.....|

....besides make a worse movie
Fem Ranma's hair needs to be more red otherwise it looks good so far.
Where's Nabiki?
EDIT: Nevermind... here she is:
Nice.

I swore I posted here last night about Nabiki once I saw her in the Crunchyroll photo spread.

i call bullkrunk simply because while a terrible adaptation, it is awesome on pure cheese factor alone. also, i will not call shenanigans on any movie with Mark Hamil, Jimmie Walker, and Jeffrey Combs in the cast.

I actually can bear to watch this. You can really see the potential here and there. It's like they had someone involved who actually 'got it', but was only allowed to influence 1 minute out of every 10. |
