About Neo Ranga

Looking for background on Neo Ranga (南海奇皇)? This adventure, horror and mecha series by Studio Pierrot (1998) starts out like this. At its core: An age-old God called Ranga awakens on an isolated island in the South Pacific where it has been slumbering forgotten by mankind. Three sisters living in Tokyo—Minami, Ushio, and Yuuhi Shimabara—discover they have inherited this Island Realm, along with the huge God.

Further in, when Ranga shows up in Tokyo, it soon grows into a source of wonder and conflict for the three sisters that control Ranga, the people who want to destroy it, and ones who want to use it.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Voice work is led by Eri Sendai as Yuuhi Shimabara and Yuuko Miyamura as Ushio Shimabara. This one is best suited to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. With 48 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
