I read the the plot summary and for some reason it just screams "Ramna" ripoff. Am I right or wrong? post whatever.

he was talking about Ranma 1/2 , its an anime series about a boy that falls into a cursed spring and whenever he gets doused in cold water he becomes a female and can only change back with hot water.

its not exactly the same but has similarities. although there are many, MAAANY other anime series with this plot.

I know that one! Only the manga, not the animated series. It has many similarities but the movie zerophilia wants to convey a different message.
Zeophilia is more oriented on the social/sexual aspect, ranma 1/2 does not contain a message about sexuality but is solely meant for entertainment.

What other Anime have this plot?

I'm not saying you're wrong, in fact I'm interested in possibly seeing them. I was always a fan of Ranma 1/2.

I have a saying: "So what if something is a rip off? As long as it's a GOOD rip off, that's what counts".

Nuff said.

Actually, the plot seems more like Futaba Kun Change by Hiroshi Aro. It's a manga series (Japanese comic) about a boy who changes to a girl whenever he gets aroused. He changes back when he calms down. ...and it's a family trait.

If memory serves, he even had similar hair to the main character in the movie ;D

I don't remember much about it, but in the manga Until the Full Moon, the one guy always turns into a woman on the full moon.

I've seen this movie though... Its oddly hilarious.
