* NoEnding: Well it ''does'' have an ending, even if the "ending" is only a notice that the studio ran out of money. Whether this counts as a NoEnding or simply ending the show with another joke depends on how seriously you want to take a scene from an anime that is ''aggressively'' unserious. It's also likely a spoof on how it was quite common for [[Main/OriginalvideoAnimation OVAs]] to end after two episodes, regardless of how "complete" they were at that point.

''Elf Princess Rane'' is a cult-favorite anime produced by Creator/{{KSS}} and Creator/DangunPictures that lasted a grand total of two episodes.
"Elves" are about 6 inches high and come from an alternate world where their language is not...quite...ours. Most of what they say on screen is [[SpeakingSimlish Japanese-sounding gibberish]], so the official subtitlers had fun. One of the most notorious of these is when the titular character is grabbed out of the air and shrieks, "Cigar store!!"
There are also humans in this world that know about the Elves' world, or think they do. The most notable being a man most well known by his [[AnimeHair giant blue hairdo]] that usually defies gravity, but is continuously falling down...slowly. This leads to him constantly shooting his arm up to throw the hair upright again. While it is possible that the elves are saying exactly what the subtitlers are writing (yay gibberish!!) since they basically consist of random words. There is no way this guy is saying what is written simply because it is impossible to do so in Japanese. One notable example of his rambling speeches was, "Doow kcuhc dluoc kcuhcdoow a fi, kcuhc kcuhcdoow a dluoc doow hcum woh." Read it backwards.
This series lasted for two episodes, whereupon the animators ran out of budget. In the last 20 seconds of the second episode, one of the characters gets a full-screen face shot to beg for monetary donations to continue the series.

As befitting of an extremely wacky comedy, Elf Princess Rane's plot is kind of a mess. Go, an amateur treasure hunter, is searching for the legendary Salamander. During his quest, he meets up with an Elf named Rane who is seeking the Four Treasures of Heart. Add in Go's childhood friend Mari who befriends her own fairy in Leen, an evil corporation who seeks to turn Go's hometown into an amusement park, and you have a lot of plot elements thatlasted a grand total of two episodes.
