Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 14 Average rating: 3.0 "Fluff film" A fluff film, get it if you like background noise while you work, or unnaturally bouncy anime breasts; besides that this series has little to offer. "You were expecting shakespeare? *thwack!*" I first saw a preview for Nanako Kaitai Shinsho (Amazing Nurse Nanako) on my region 2 Sol Bianca DVD imports back in March. The preview is the same one included as an extra on this DVD. No scene was without Nanako's ample breasts jiggling about. If you want to slam Nanako for this, you really need to think before you buy movies next time. While very silly and fluffy, this first DVD is all set up for the real story to come later. And like Battle Atheletes, Nanako vacillates between being slapstick silly and drop dead serious. And while not at good and Battle Athletes, is still a lot of fun to watch. This disc includes the first two of six total episodes. "Can we say "fanservice"?" Amazing is right. No, not the plot! No! Not the artwork, either! Amazing refers to the physics-defying properties of Nanako's chest. This disc introduces us to the overly-endowed Nanako, our heroine, and her life as a "nurse". She jiggles. She bounces. She falls down, and lands so that her assets are displayed to their fullest potential. If you're looking for harmless fanservice, hooboy, have you found it. The problem is, this disc contains the first 2 OAVS of a 6 OAV series, and as such is all set-up for the overall plot. So, the actual content isn't that enthralling. We meet the characters. We learn little bits about them. We see where Nanako works. We learn little bits about that. While not by any means a bad start, this is just the start. It's interesting, it's funny, and it's full of animated female flesh, but it's not enthralling or entrancing. On the technical side, this disc is great. The picture is clear, the packaging is well done, and the sound is as best as can be expected from the standard mix. The menu is also deserving of note, for the rather amusing animation. The are somewhat limited, but the Nanakotronic music video was pretty amusing. This disc isn't for everyone, and isn't one that will be considered by any means a classic. On the other hand, it's not a waste of your time to watch, and it holds much promise for the rest of the series. If you have the time and money, at least check it out. "Not what I expected" True I should have figured that the show was not going to be that great by the other reviews, but there was nearly no character development at all. It was also hard to figure out why any of the c haracters were there unless you went and researched the series online. Not one of pioneer's better works.
