This year's sixth issue of Shogakukan's Big Comic Original magazine announced on Monday that a live-action television adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi's Rumic Theater (Takahashi Rumiko Gekijō) manga series will run on NHK-BS Premium channel in July.

I'm listening to NPR and they are doing a series on last years' big quake in Japan. One of the fellows was talking about Kamen Rider and how Japanese superheroes are an inspiration that makes folks feel better (not really what was said but summarizing). Can'd find the feature online though...

EDIT: Ah it was a PRI production...

Honestly, I only like the manga and anime. I've seen some live stuff before, but didn't care for it.

I've seen a stage production of Bleach which wasn't too bad.

All I'll say is, they better do The Tragedy of P.
And that penguin better be believable! :x

Probably more believable than a talking Cat.
