Neo Ranga - Lost in the Spectacle (Vol. 2)
Neo Rangabegan as a spoof ofGodzillamovies on the anthology  programAnime Complexin 1998, but when it was turned into a series,  the story had to be expanded. The "god" of a South Sea island, the titlemechais 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 theyakuza(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
