Neko Rahmen was originally a comic strip, then a series of short animes (English-subtitled 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13), and now there's a live-action movie, featuring a cameo by a famous cat.

Kaiju Shakedown points us to the trailer of Ramen Girl, starring Brittany Murphy as a American who decides to learn how to make the perfect bowl of ramen noodles (what?!?!) after she is dumped by her boyfriend in Tokyo. Tampopo this isn't. Hat tip to Ivan Ramen, who is the real deal foreigner who has a succesful ramen joint in Tokyo. See Chowhound, Food and Wine - Tokyo, Day 2: Japanese Éclairs, Perfect Ramen, Sake Fix, Soba Heaven, or the WSJ: Trying to Out-Noodle the Japanese for more info.
