Amazing Nurse Nanako is a Japanese anime television series that was released in 1999-2000. The show is a mix of science fiction, comedy, and a bit of drama. The storyline is set in the future where the world is ruled by the World Doctors Organization (WDO), a sinister group that plans to use mind control to take over the world. The organization employs a group of young nurses as assistants, called 'maids,' in their facilities.

The main character of the show is Nanako Shichigusa, a young, naive, and innocent girl who is a nurse and the main protagonist of the series. Nanako is completely unaware of the WDO's sinister plans and believes she is working as a maid in a laboratory. Nanako is bubbly, cheerful, and quite clumsy, but her heart is always in the right place. She lives with her grandfather in a rural area, and she becomes an unwitting pawn in the WDO's plan to take over the world.

Nanako is joined by Dr. Ogami, her supervisor and a military officer, who works with her to stop the WDO's plan. Dr. Ogami is a stoic and serious person, and he's always keeping an eye on Nanako to ensure she doesn't cause any trouble. They are also helped by a group of eccentric scientists and their creations, including an AI named Maron.

One of the show's central themes is the coming of age of Nanako as she navigates the complexities of her role as a nurse and a young woman in a world that is changing. The series also takes a look at the larger issue of the power dynamics between the WDO and the individual.

As you watch the show, you will come across many comedic moments, often involving Nanako's clumsiness, which is a humorous contrast to the darker themes of the show. Despite the humor, the show takes a serious tone as it deals with the topics of mind control, evil plans, and world domination.

The show has a wide range of characters, including the quirky scientists who work together to develop new technologies, and the 'maids' who are all working under the control of the WDO. There is also a healthy mix of male and female characters, which helps to balance out the themes of the show.

The animation style is typical of anime from the late 90s and early 2000s, with bright colors and exaggerated features. The music is catchy and upbeat, with a jazzy feel to it that's reminiscent of classic anime tunes.

In conclusion, Amazing Nurse Nanako is a fun and entertaining anime series that is sure to appeal to fans of science fiction, comedy, and drama. The show is a mix of lighthearted moments and serious themes, and the characters are a delight to watch. If you're looking for a new anime series to watch and enjoy, Amazing Nurse Nanako is definitely worth checking out.

4. Opr. 4 Fire-crackers

In her sleep, Nanako is fitted with a special suit which enables her to be a war machine. She can fly, shoot rockets, and fire bullets with the suit. She awakes to find herself in an exhibit showcasing the suit she is wearing. During her display, in which only Satsuki can control, she is stopped by a robot named Griffith, which also destroys tanks and people in the process. Inside, a man named Alan Mizuki claims she is a cyborg named Nana-Go, which was shown to him by Dr. Ogami in their early days in college together. The once-friend of Dr. Ogami has now become his biggest rival, after sabotaging an attempt to revive one of his loves, Jamie. Nanako pleads that she is not a cyborg, but a human. Mizuki refuses to listen, and still believes she is a cyborg, because she cannot take the suit off. Griffith is then released on her in combat, and eventually destroys half of the hospital. However, Mizuki drops the remote that controls Griffith, and that actives a mode which attacks anything that moves. While frozen, they try to figure out a way to retrieve the remote. When a rock falls from the ceiling, Griffith attacks it, giving them time to dash to the remote. Yet, their plans are foiled when a rock falls upon the remote and Griffith destroys it, destroying the remote also. It goes haywire and fires at everything in sight. Nanako is caught in the middle, and is forced to defeat the robot. She picks the robot up and throws it into the distance, defeating it, but also setting off a self-destruct sequence. It explodes, destroying Ogami Hospital. Outside, in plain view of the wreckage, Nanako soon realizes her suit is running low on battery power. The suit soon falls apart, revealing her completely naked to Mizuki, proving to him she is not a cyborg. She realizes what happened and covers herself. Mizuki is then carried away by authorities, but Jamie rescues him on the way to jail by self-destructing herself. At the end, Dr. Ogami returns from seeing his father to see that the hospital is in ruins.

3. Opr. 3 The psycho Patient

Dr. Ogami now has to deal with a patient who has a violent record. He is trying to solve a murder mystery for the police. He performs tests on him, while Kaoru Satsuki teases him. This causes him to become nervous. He also constantly stares as Nanako, as if she is of importance to him. He turns into a "Hyde" monster and wreaks havoc on the Ogami Hospital. Many attempts of falsely torturing Nanako, including stripped her down to only her panties and being tortured by Kuron, hanging her above a boiling pot of goo, topless with only nipple shields to cover her big breasts in a torture ritual, and a near-lesbian scene where Satsuki tries to "make her into a real woman," all fail. They attempt to shoot tranquilizers into the monster to stop it, but all fail, and, in turn, make everyone else except Dr. Ogami go to sleep. While cornered outside in the rain by the monster, Nanako is saved by Dr. Ogami, who manages to put it to sleep. The next day, Nanako goes over to Satsuki's room, hoping to ask her about "making her a real woman", but not the way Nanako thought. However, Nanako caught Satsuki at a bad moment... without her makeup on!

2. Opr. 2 Memories of you

Nanako runs through tough training exercises, such as standing under a cold waterfall with nothing but a bikini on, with the help of Genki. Nanako, however, believes she is on vacation. While standing by the fire at night, Nanako cooks fishes. However, when she gives Dr. Ogami one, he gets angry because she forgot to buy daikon radish, which helps the protein in fish digest properly. Nanako gets frustrated, and runs away. While in the woods, she encounters a giant bear after trying to light a fire, and Dr. Ogami reminisces about past Nanakos in the trailer. Nanako runs from the bear in fear as it chases her. Dr. Ogami realizes she is missing and then begins to read a signal coming from a stuffed animal he had given to her. He locates her and saves her from plunging off a cliff. Genki stops the bear from mauling her to death. Nanako, while hanging from Dr. Ogami's hand, which has a hold of her foot, begs for forgiveness, but Dr. Ogami drops her into the river below as punishment. However, Nanako catches a cold and relaxes naked in a hot tub above a fire Kuron built. Dr. Ogami appears with the stuffed animal that had thought by Nanako to have been dropped off the cliff when she was rescued, but, not only is it a tracking device, it is also a recorder. It plays back something Nanako had said about Dr. Ogami behind his back. Dr. Ogami gets angry and Nanako freaks, jumping out of the tub naked and running for her life. Dr. Ogami chases after her with a beating stick experiment.

1. Opr. 1 The first spiral

July 5, 1999

Nanako is doing her usual chore of cooking, but the fish she cooks burns and, before that, breaks a dozen plates that were handed down through the Ogami family, which later makes Dr. Ogami angry at her. This is typical of Dr. Ogami, as Nanako does get into a lot of trouble. She gets mixed up in a fight between Kuron and Komanechi, two old people who reside in the hospital. After running out for a few groceries, she returns to meet Dr. Ogami and the Army. They are conducting an experiment, but she is doing her usual exercises that Dr. Ogami has planned for her. After she finishes, she returns to the experiment, just as it goes haywire. The experiment kills a few officers, and Nanako is sucked into the goo-like monster. She has also caught a cold, so the flu virus helps to weaken the monster as she continuously sneezes. Dr. Ogami rescues Nanako and defeats the monster. The monster freezes and falls apart, ending the disaster.
