**Shudders at the thought of the upcoming movie pain**<br><br>Now who was it that argued with me over Americans wanting to bastardize Anime?<br><br>I'd say making a "live-action" movie stating that you are re-doing to 'appeal more widely to western audiences' is a bastardization so bad it is trying to remove the fact that it is distinctly Asian and will probably dumb it down removing all cultural/historical/religious significance.<br><br>Yeah, Akira and DBZ can be made a lot worse than they actually were.<br><br>(Note: I have begun to work through the first Akira Manga and it is actually *interesting* This is just another example of what happens when you have to cut 5-6 mangas to make a movie showing only the "good stuff")<br><br>The Akira movie was intended according to the writers to augment reading the manga. Why people who have never even heard of Manga like it is beyond me. Because it's just shallow and violent, where as the manga seems to have a lot more. ^.^<br><br>Plot, emotion, characterization, and violence. But it feels a lot more filling to me. <p> <br> <div align="center"><font color="#666666"><i>Ten years ago, something happened.<br> Something small.

okay... firstly, for you're information, Yujenisis, "washuu" is spelled with the long "u", and is proven by using this address: <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://dir.yahoo.co.jp/News/Television/Shows/Animation/Tenchi_muyou_/">dir.yahoo.co.jp/News/Tele...hi_muyou_/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> and looking at the bottom-most entry. There "washu" is spelled with a long "u". "ryouko" is also "technically" supposed to be spelled with an "ou" as can be seen on her wanted poster in "tenchi universe" (ep: 15-"no need for an escape!") andpossibly elsewhere... however even the japanese generally ignore shorten the "ou" to "oo" (ordinary long "o") in everyday speaking. As far as the written forms go, most long vowels can be shortened, but not vice versa.<br>nextly: i'm reasonably familiar the cries of agony caused by the honk kong version of "dragon pearl" <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://us.imdb.com/Title?0122050">us.imdb.com/Title?0122050</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> and i'm well aware of the risks in turning any cartoon (not just japanese ones) into live-action films: a good case in point would be Inspector Gadget <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://us.imdb.com/Title?0141369">us.imdb.com/Title?0141369</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> (where Michelle Trachtenberg <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://us.imdb.com/Name?Trachtenberg,+Michelle">us.imdb.com/Name?Trachtenberg,+Michelle</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> also first came to mind from for washu). speaking of which, Sir Red XIV makes a good point about washu. the list is officially updated as so:<br><br>Washu (younger)--Michelle Trachtenberg<br>us.imdb.com/Name?Trachtenberg,+Michelle<br>("my" wild hair! just try her with wild hair!)<br><br>Washu (older)--Portia de Rossi<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://us.imdb.com/Name?de+Rossi,+Portia">us.imdb.com/Name?de+Rossi,+Portia</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>(red hair dye needed... lots of it)<br><br>oh, and sorry Nick, but i can quite buy Karyn Parsons <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://us.imdb.com/Name?Parsons,+Karyn">us.imdb.com/Name?Parsons,+Karyn</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> as mihoshi... right type wrong, skin color... and hair color. but it was a good try, i'll give you that! <p></p><i></i> |

I don't think any of us would really wanna see a live-action Tenchi Muyo. I mean, no matter how good the actors/actresses are .. and how awesome the special fx can be .. I don't think there's any way it's gonna turn out as good as the anime.<br><br>[But that Mila Kunis as Sakuya is cute =P] <p></p><i></i> |

The correct spellings are...<br><br><img src="http://www.rffc.org/kanji/ryouko.gif">, <img src="http://www.rffc.org/kanji/aeka.gif">, and <img src="http://www.rffc.org/kanji/washu.gif">.<br><br>For Romanizations, I use Ryoko, Ayeka, and Washu. But it's not like everybody won't know who you're talking about if you spell them Ryouko, Aeka, and Washuu. As long as it's not something bizarre that nobody will understand, I don't see the problem. <p><center><img src="http://server27.hypermart.net/redxiv/ryoko2.gif" width="73" height="81"><a href="mailto:babelfisherperson@hotmail.com"><img src="http://server27.hypermart.net/redxiv/AkaiJuyon.gif" width="91" height="20" alt="Red XIV" border="0"></a><img src="http://server27.hypermart.net/redxiv/tenchi2.gif" width="63" height="95"></center></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub19.ezboard.com/usirredxiv.showPublicProfile?language=EN>Sir Red XIV</A> <IMG SRC="http://server27.hypermart.net/redxiv/tenchi_lhw.gif" BORDER=0> at: 6/7/02 1:18:25 am<br></i> |

Well there is a differentiation between long and short sounds in Japanese, so on a technical level it is incorrect.<br><br>Romanizations are meant to be a conversion of Japanese sounds to English. Doing the romanizations incorrectly will change the pronunciation, and possibly it's very meaning.<br><br>That is the danger. <p> <br> <div align="center"><font color="#666666"><i>Ten years ago, something happened.<br> Something small.

Indeed, indeed. One of the terrible facets of translation is making sure what you say in one language equals (more or less, depending on sentence structure, syntax, and a whole host of other variables) what you say in another. y limited studies in Japanese syntax say clearly that there is a difference between, let's say, a single "u" as apposed to a double "uu." Even though they may have the same phoneme (letter sound), the "uu" is held for a beat longer, giving it a different meaning in a word. <br><br>Of course, I'm restating what other people have already said in essence, but it's worth repeating. <p>According to top scientific research, 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the population.
