Description:
Neo Ranga began as a spoof of Godzilla movies on the anthology program Anime Complex in 1998, but when it was turned into a series, the story had to be expanded. The "god" of a South Sea island, the title mecha is telepathically controlled by the three Shimabara Sisters. Not surprisingly, the giant robot becomes the object of considerable media attention, attention that draws the sisters into a seamy tale of political corruption. The National Interest Party works hand in glove with the yakuza (Japanese mafia) to control the section of Tokyo in which the Shimabaras live. Ushio discovers the sordid situation when she searches for an old friend who has become a runaway. The plot includes suggestions of drug dealing and the sexual exploitation of underaged girls--a very dark setting for the broad physical comedy. (Rated 15 and older: violence, profanity, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
