Amazing Nurse Nanako Complete Boxed Set - Limited Edition - Region 1 DVD

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
