We have seen the promotional poster and cast photos for the upcoming Ranma ½ 2 hour live-action drama starring Aragaki Yui, which would be aired on Japan’s NTV on 9 Dec 2011.
A special promotional poster was unveiled for the upcoming Ranma ½ Live-Action Drama. The top part features the various live-action cast members, while the bottom half features the original manga characters illustrated by the original mangaka Rumiko Takahashi. From the poster, we can also see the panda form of Genma Saotome, Ranma’s father. But then again I think the panda is kinda too think unlike the manga version.
NTV has just unveiled the drama cast photos and it was surprising that Aragaki Yui had actually cut her long hair for the role as Tendo Akane (天道 あかね). Apparently it was Aragaki’s decision to cut her hair so that she would be able to fit the role better. But I think she looks really kawaii and moe with short hair.
