Ringu Anthology, what is the correct viewing order?
Even though I picked it up when it first came out I'm just now getting around to watching it. I followed the order on the info sheet (Ringu, Rasen, Ringu 2, Ringu 0) but there seems to be some overlapping/conflict between Rasen and Ringu 2. Are these really supposed to be part of the same series or did they decide to redo the sequel? Maybe I just haven't been paying close enough attention and there isn't much conflict...

Ring and Rasen (its sequel) were released in theaters at the same time. However, Rasen wasn't nearly as popular. When Hideo Nakata made Ring 2, he ignored Rasen. Ring 2 is Nakata's follow-up to his Ring, whereas Rasen is a sequel from a different director.

Thanks for the info, that explains a lot. I'm in the middle of Ringu 2 right now and so far it's shaping up to be better than Rasen. Rasen started out good but just kind of got lost somewhere along the way and became really odd/goofy.

Keep in mind that the original books and graphic novels follow Rasen more or less. Ringu 2 was made because audiences didn't like the way Rasen went...
