Fast-talking, reckless, slightly dense treasure hunter Gou has vowed to find the legendary Treasure of Salamander. Searching for it he meets Rane, a fairy from another world, who is looking for the Treasure of Four Hearts. Gou's childhood friend and well-off next door neighbour Mari is frustrated with Gou running after treasures, but befriends Lean another fairy, who also happens to be a witch wanting to kill Rane. And if that was not enough, Gou also has to deal with his triplet older sisters, Kazuki, Yuhki and Saki — a girl group, when not working on their daytime jobs.

Gou and Rane's treasure hunt messes with a secret project led by Mari's father though, and it turns out Salamander is not what Gou thought it was in the first place...

Note: The story is not really finished at the end of episode 2; there was a third episode announced, but it never got published.

Elf Princess Raine is the epitome of buried treasure. At first glance it can seem cliche, but there is novelty here in character presentation and plot. The unrelenting speed and humor make the story so much fun. The antagonist's song and dance interludes may be the funniest thing you'll see in any anime. This OVA is a great way to spend an hour.

When thinking 'Fairy Princess Rane', the first thing coming to mind is 'Silly'.

Animation is okay; not really good, not really bad, but it has some scenes which are done pretty nice and that's it.

The music is okay, but the voices are good. Especially the voice of the guy with the hair, since he actually speaks almost his entire script backwards - which requires quite some skill.
Also mentionable is that they speak a lot of times at the same time, resulting in a lot of subtitles onscreen for different people at the same time.

The story is pretty simple, but they make it so extremely silly that it's even funny. Although the jokes are easy to understand and hard to miss, they're usually so damn stupid or silly that it just makes you grin. Does it need a story? Not really ... the story exists for the sake of making the characters do things, and for nothing else.

The characters are very nice. Every character has its own characteristics and most of them are just plain weird. Think about a man who speaks every sentence backwards and you'll understand how extremely weird this anime is. Also note the fairy Rane itself, who tries to overcome the language barrier.

Still, Fairy Princess Rane isn't really that funny, and I didn't like everything of it either. Perhaps it's too silly at times, or just too predictable, but I only enjoyed it when I'm already in the mood to laugh. But it's good enough to have a big laugh whenever you're in the mood. It's still a nice anime, and although there is a preview for episode 3, it has never been made - or perhaps they just like to tease us ;)

If you liked this, you might also want to try 'Jubei-chan', which contains about the same level of 'sillyness'.

· nudityNudity is the state of wearing no clothing and exposing the bare skin or intimate parts. NO FRONTAL NUDITY (visible genitals) = 1.5 STARS OR LESS. Especially gratuitous fanservice shows tend to show their characters frequently without any clothes, though often hiding genitals through the means of additions like steam. **
· castno description set
· · stereotypesThis show presents stereotypes, which are generalizations about a group of people. Examples would be saying that people from a certain country or with a certain hair color are stupid. If the show deals with comedy, the stereotypes are likely to be played on for laughs; if the show is a parody, the stereotypes will be exaggerated to have their flaws exposed and may be used as a form of social commentary. *+
· fast-pacedHold onto your hats, this anime`s storyline is relentless. The characters don`t get time to take a breath as events keep both them and the viewer on a roller coaster ride of revelation and excitement! Hopefully it all makes sense... weightless
· actionAction anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting. **
· · collateral damageThe usually action orientated anime does not only show large amounts of combat and weapon use, but also the incidental massive destruction of property, often due to the inability of the protagonists to aim properly. Example: Mecha duking it out in a densely populated urban area. weightless
· adventureAdventures are exciting stories, designed to provide an action-filled, energetic experience for the viewer. Rather than the predominant emphasis on violence and fighting, the viewer of adventures can live vicariously through the travels, conquests, explorations, creation of empires, struggles and situations that confront the main characters. Adventure films are often, but not always, set in an historical period. *+
· · treasure huntingA significant part of the anime centres on the protagonists` search for some obscure artefact or other treasure, an epic adventure and wild goose chase for something unusual and quite valuable. weightless
· comedyAnime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience. Japanese humour can be a bit strange to westerners, so if you`re new to this type of humour, just bear with it; it`ll most likely grow on you if you`re a fan of other kinds of comedy. **
· · absurdist humourSurreal humour is a form of humour predicated on deliberate violations of causal reasoning, producing events and behaviours that are obviously illogical. Constructions of surreal humour tend to involve bizarre juxtapositions, non-sequiturs, irrational or absurd situations, and expressions of nonsense. The humour arises from a subversion of audience`s expectations, so that amusement is founded on unpredictability. Its appeal stems from the situation being exceedingly ridiculous or unlikely. **
· · facial distortionThe characters face are exaggerated into a misshape, deformed, and almost warped. Used as comedy element to express extreme mood swings. Differing from "super deformed", here only the face changes to an extreme degree, not the whole body of the protagonist. weightless
· ecchiEcchi, or etchi (エッチ), is a common Japanese word meaning "indecent", "lewd", "frisky" or "sexy"; its usage can be compared to the English word "naughty". Among western anime fans, the term is used when vague sexual content, such as skimpy clothing or nudity, is prominent. In Japanese, however, it is a catch-all term for all things anyhow sexual in nature, mild or otherwise. **
· · paper clothesWorn clothing appears paper-thin and takes little abuse to be shredded or torn from the body. This is common in ecchi anime where the main storyline involves some type of fighting but consists primarily of dialogue and fanservice (Ikkitousen and Platonic Heart). Various girls’ clothing exploding as if made of rice paper is a very enticing prospect. weightless
· · sudden naked girl appearanceA character or group of characters are simply minding their own business, when suddenly, a naked girl appears. It does not matter how or why, but a naked someone is there. Sometimes the naked girl is not happy about this. Usually this is a fanservice element, but not always. weightless
· · wardrobe malfunctionA euphemistic term for an embarrassing display of a body part when clothing droops, falls, or is torn. Wikipedia: "Super Bowl XXXVIII half-time show" for more details. weightless
· henshinJapanese for "transformation" (metamorphosis or disguise). A "henshin anime" is any anime, where the characters or their costumes transform, such as Sailor Moon. The henshin switches on the character`s special powers, and is frequently accompanied by a costume change. Often the change of clothing is the only outward indicator that the character has changed and yet nobody seems to notice the hero`s true self. Most henshin heroes have a special item which they use to change into their heroic form. These items are usually activated by a command phrase (which is often in Engrish, for some reason), triggering a transformation sequence. *
· romanceRomance describes a story that deals with love between two or more characters typically also having an optimistic ending. Romance is also a difficulty encountered when creating a harem. *+
· · slow when it comes to loveThe main protagonists in this anime have a very hard time trying to express their feelings to each other. They simply will not finally confess their love. In some cases this romance element is based on unrequited love, or an absurd amount of shyness. *+
· speculative fictionSpeculative fiction is an umbrella genre encompassing fiction with certain elements that do not exist in the real world, often in the context of supernatural, futuristic or other imaginative themes. This includes, but is not limited to, science fiction, fantasy, superhero fiction, horror, utopian and dystopian fiction, fairytale fantasy, supernatural fiction, as well as combinations thereof.
· · fantasyImaginative or fanciful work, especially one dealing with supernatural elements and themes. **
· · · elfElf, in common description, near-divine beings, with pointed ears and immortal life-spans. They are sage beings that occupy the realms and gates between humanity and the gods. **
· · · fairyA fairy is a type of mythical being or legendary creature in European folklore, a form of spirit, often described as metaphysical, supernatural, or preternatural. **
· · science fictionScience fiction stories usually focus on how situations could be different in the future when we are more technologically advanced; due to either our own achievements or having met with other civilizations whom we have learned from.
· · · mechaMecha in Japanese basically means mechanical things; everything from an electric whisk or a car to a spaceship or a robot. Here however we limit it to the more exotic things usually referred to as mecha anime: robots, whether controlled by a human or not, and their ilk. *
· breastsThe female bust size matters! Or does it? The subcategories spell out the the range of breast sizes.
· · large breastsLarge breasts are breasts a fair notch larger than average, as found in some real life adolescent girls or fully grown women. They are bigger than medium breasts and smaller than huge breasts. Note: This tag has many anime/character entries that need to be moved to the new medium and huge breasts tags. Please add the appropriate tag and remove this one from the corresponding anime/character afterwards. *+
· TO BE MOVED TO CHARACTERTags under this parent tag are going to be moved to character tags and removed from the anime they`re currently assigned to. They will be blocked from the anime system once that move is complete. Please help with that job if you know what characters they should be assigned to.
· · talks too fastThis character speaks with a pace so frenetic that it can get hard to follow. weightless
· Japanese productionno description set weightless
· newNot based on anything, the story is a new work, usually made up by the people involved in creating the anime. Generally if an original work (原作) credit is given, it will be to the studio, or director, or other members of the production team. weightless
· placeThe places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.
· · fictional locationA fictional location is run by different rules than your common and ordinary world: fictional worlds, computer-generated worlds, fantasy worlds, magical worlds, parallel worlds accessible through portals, etc. A fantasy world typically involves magic or magical abilities, and/or a medieval theme. A world that generally shares the characteristics of, and/or is generally indistinguishable from the real world (bar research on a "more than cursory" level), would NOT be considered a fictional world. ***
· discontinuedThis anime plot was supposed to run on more episodes, but it was prematurely discontinued before reaching the end. Generally, we can only reasonably observe that a show is discontinued after the fact. As such, this tag should not be added to an anime until at least 5 years have passed since the anime airing has ended. weightless
· fictional languageFictional languages are intended to be the languages of a fictional world and are often designed with the intent of giving more depth and an appearance of plausibility to the fictional worlds with which they are associated, and to have their characters communicate in a fashion which is both alien and dislocated. weightless
furo sceneFuro (polite: Ofuro) is Japanese for bath, specifically a type of bath which originated as a short, steep-sided wooden bathtub. Baths of this type are found all over Japan in houses, apartments and traditional Japanese inns (Ryokans). 1 eps applies to episode(s): 2
hot springs visitAn onsen is a term for hot springs in the Japanese language, though the term is often used to describe the bathing facilities and inns around the hot springs. Often the cast of a show somehow ends up going to an onsen because of various reasons, such as winning a lottery ticket. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 2
