"Okay, mine wont be as long as the others but oh well. Anyway, this was a great disc, opening more questions about what's going to happen at the end of this series. The only disappointment was the battle that season 1(disc 3) left off with. Other than that I enjoyed watching this disc as always, and can't wait to get the 5th soon, whoohoo! Neo Ranga is intriguing because it gives you a mystery that you're racking your mind to solve but can't yet because it's not the end. Anyway, yeah if you haven't see Neo Ranga, or this disc, you better see it soon!"

Out there and back

"After a chaotic season 1 finale, the people of Musashino has returned to their daily business... although life is anything but ordinary when Neo Ranga is looming over your backyard. After the Kyoshin was defeated, the Japanese government passed a legislation to officially declare Musashino as a land rightfully belonging to the kingdom of Barou. It should be happy times for the Shimabara sisters, but with the city borders surrounded with barbed wire fences and wrath of the entire nation against them, nothing seemed merry.Again, we see the focus shift back to the personal dilemmas of the Shimabara sisters. Ushio is sad because everybody in Japan seem to be against them, despite her goodwill to help others using Neo Ranga. Yuuhi is angry because she was betrayed by one person in this world that she trusted, Kazuo Fujiwara (who turned out to be a leader of the syndicate Kyoshinkai). And Minami is flustered with the family's financial situation as usual, and is haunted by recurring thoughts of their long lost brother Masaru. Matters become worse for the sisters when Kyoshinkai step up their attacks against Neo Ranga using cruel tactics and increased manpower.The tone of the series is serious as usual, but there are some lighter moments that will make us all smile. Neo Ranga accidentally (?) digs up a hot spring in the backyard of Shimabara house, as Ushio ponders about her potential love interest. We will see a good dose of other series favorites as well, like Ushio's classmate Adachi, alongside Kurogane and the ASE pilot girls (who now work security shifts for Musashino).These episodes are fun to watch as much as they are thought provoking, and "Neo Ranga" continues to prove itself as a force to be reckoned with."
