4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, I thought it was called "Fairy Princess Ren..", October 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Elf Princess Rane [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Well, regardless of the title, this is a very strange and very funny spoof of every anime convention known to man. Witness Mr. Zenshuin's amazing hair that just won't keep out of his eyes! See Rane speak in her native language, which in Japanese often sounds something like "It's still soaking in the dress from yesterday and mushy, mushy.." Try to keep track of all of Go's identical sisters! Marvel at how fast these Japanese VAs can TALK! (I still have to see if they were able to match that in the dub..) There's not much story, but this isn't the sort of thing you watch for story. It's just insanity. And stay through the Japanese end credits! Trust me on this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars My first, and still favorite, anime, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Elf Princess Rane [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When I bought this video, I was really excited. It was the first anime video I was going to own, and I was pumped. When I got home, I was not dissapointed! It was hilariously funny, especially the character who babbles words that are a combination of Japanese movie directors, American cartoons, and french. A hilarious must see for all anime owners! But be warned, IT IS BIZZARE!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious., October 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Elf Princess Rane [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The anime equivalent of Monty Python's Flying Circus (with marginally more plot). Really freaking good, and really freaking surreal (my favourite is the "rap" bit--absolutely hysterical). They damn well better release the rest of it o'er here, the bastards.
