Neo Ranga - A God Is Risen (Vol. 1)
This off-beat TV series aired as part of the anthologyAnime  Complex(1998). The titlemechais the "god" of the South Sea island  of Bauou. Early one morning, it rises out of Tokyo Bay in search of the  Shimabara Sisters, whose brother married the last princess of Bauou. These first  episodes spoofGodzilla, with Neo Ranga casually trampling big chunks of  Tokyo in its search. As the story progresses, the focus shifts to the sisters  (Minami, Yuuhi, and Ushio) and their nephew Joel as they attempt to lead  something approximating a normal life in Tokyo with an 18-metermechain  their front yard. Although the 15-minute length of the episodes restricts the  development of the story and characters, this very quirky series was the most  popular show to come out ofAnime Complex.
