About Neo Ranga

Neo Ranga (南海奇皇) arrives as an adventure anime by Studio Pierrot (1998), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: An ancient 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.

In an adventure series like this, 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. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list. At 48 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
