Information

Title (English) Neo Ranga

Title (Japanese) Nankai Kio Neoranga

Advertising
Fantasy Novel

Notes English name: Strange World of the South Seas: Neoranga
Dates: April 6, 1998-September 28, 1998 and April 6, 1999-September 28, 1999; Number of episodes: 48 (includes both series)

Classification -

Synopsis Rather curious robot adventure in which three pretty Japanese sisters inherit from their missing brother both the throne of an Indonesian island and a god/robot: Neo Ranga.
They're not very keen on all this so return to Japan. However the huge robot follows them there; which makes for some interesting juxtapositions of everyday township life; shoot-em-up action; and the activities of the media.

Review Its detailed attempt to capture the effect of weird circumstances on the three girls, and on everyday life - right down to house prices and the trade in local shops - makes it worth watching. It seems to be an example of a trend of sticking bits of foreign culture into Japanese TV series. Memorable. Collectors note the episodes are only 15 mins. long!
