And what would be so bad about that anyway? (S)he'd get supernatural
powers to fight evil monsters, a ready supply of evil monsters to fight,
a cute but not revealing costume and power over the flower of life. ;-)
I mean that he turns into Ririka, an annoyingly cute somewhat
sanctimonious little twerp. We showed the first few episodes here and
people were rolling in the aisles because it was considered so ridiculous.
How can you call yourself anime fans? Judging a series on an incomplete
sample? And Nurse Angel is such a great Magical Girls show once it hits it
stride - and if you don't like magical girls, why were you showing it?. ;-)
Seriously, with Nurse Angel you get most out of it watching the first 1-3
episodes to get the characters, then jump to episode 14 (or thereabouts)
and watch through to episode 26 (the finale of 1st series), still some
clunkers but the overall story is great, and you get to watch Ririka put
through episode after episode of emotional torment.
With the 2nd series (9 episodes) watch episodes 1, 8 & 9. The rest are
just fillers.
Perhaps we should have shown it over at the Divinity college? I'm sure
that they would have really gotten a chuckle from it.
Whats Divinity college? And they might, there are funny scenes in a
number of episodes.
