Description:

The title character of this 1999 TV series is not a nurse, but a maid working for the renowned cyber-biomedical researcher Dr. Kyoji Ogami. Nanako gets into trouble constantly: she burns meals, falls out of planes, is terrorized by monsters, etc. These misadventures provide the artists with opportunities to hike up her short skirt and peak down her low-cut top, revealing her panties and jiggling cleavage. Like an anime version of Little Annie Fanny, Nanako often loses her minimal garments--but only when there's an audience.

The fan service high jinks play against a weird, underdeveloped plot about biomedical experiments involving genetic material from an alien. The U.S. military and agents of the Vatican are using similar techniques to clone Jesus, using blood samples from the Shroud of Turin (!). The viewer eventually learns that Nanako is the third clone of Dr. Ogami's grandfather's assistant. Each version of Nanako lives only 20 years, including the previous one, who raised Dr. Ogami and whom he swore to save. He failed but is trying again with the latest edition. Amazing Nurse Nanako rivals even Burn Up Excess for fan service jiggles--and makes Slayers feel intellectually challenging. The six episodes have been needlessly stretched over three discs; the boxed set includes a "Nanako's Secret" catalog filled with cheesecake drawings. (Rated 16 and older: Nudity, sexual situations, violence, grotesque imagery, potentially offensive religious imagery) --Charles Solomon
