All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl: Nuku Nuku...
All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl: Nuku Nuku was certainly a big part of why I've developed a special spot in my heart for cat girls...
What kind of birthday gift could you make with a bucket of chicken, a dead cat, and some high-tech hardware? It's silly and lots of fun. My favorite is the first part, the second and third parts are great, but, they don't quite capture the original magic of the first part. My favorite scene is Nuku Nuku's bike ride to school - through traffic and over a train which leads straight into a missile attack on the school... Need I say more?
There's also the episode where Nuku Nuku goes to the beach and realizes that she's too heavy to float. Nuku Nuku was certainly a big part of why I've developed a special spot in my heart for cat girls. A cyborg kitty in the body of a cute girl -- it's brilliant. I used to have all three parts on subtitled VHS. I enjoyed the series enough that I repurchased it on DVD. I gave All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl: Nuku Nuku a 5 out of 5.
Volume 1
When inventor Kyusaku Natsume transfers the brain of his son Ryunosuke's cat into a top secret android body, the family doesn't lose a pet... they gain a daughter! While she may look like a typical teenage girl to the rest of the world, Nuku Nuku's feminine exterior hides the superhuman strength and abilities of the NK-1124 android chassis, making her the most potent fighting force ever unleashed upon an unsuspecting Japan... and the ideal bodyguard for Ryunosuke! But can even Nuku Nuku keep her young charge out of the insidious clutches of the ruthless Akiko Mishima, president of Mishima Heavy Industries, financier of the NK-1124 project, Kyusaku's ex-wife and Ryunosuke's mother? The greatest custody battle of all time erupts in a conflagration across Japan as Akiko unleashes the full force of M.H.I.'s military products division, manned by her elite team of Office Lady Warriors, in her bid to win back Ryunosuke... but against Nuku Nuku even state-of-the-art hoverjets, cyborg battlesuits, and the dreaded Mishima Armored Octopus are just so many cat toys!
Volume 2
It's double jeopardy time for cute and cuddly combat android NK-1124, better known to her friends as Nuku Nuku, as she finds herself faced with two impossible missions in this second collection of amazing All Purpose Cat Girl adventures! Nuku Nuku may be super-powered and almost indestructible, but even she has her hands full controlling the damage when inventor Kyusaku and crazed megalomaniac Akiko attempt to put aside their differences and move back in together! After all, when a couple's prone to settling arguments with tanks and anti-aircraft weapons, the normal kind of marriage counselor just won't do! Of course, it's not the "loving" couple's future bliss that's at stake here, it's the property value of the local real estate! And as if that wasn't enough for a poor former-pussycat to bear, Nuku Nuku next finds herself faced with an even cuter, even more cuddly android replacement... one who not only wants Nuku Nuku's job, she wants her body as well! Needless to say, our heroine's one cat who has an interest in keeping the skin on her own back, and the cat-aclysmic climax of All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku Volume 2 proves once and for all that 300 foot tall monsters don't have a monopoly on leveling major Japanese cities!
Volume 3
It begins with a bicycle wreck and escalates into a battle to the death with a killer robot space station! There's never been another heroine quite like All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku, and in this third climatic collection of Cat-astrophes the sky is no longer the limit on insanity! When Nuku Nuku breaks Ryunosuke's bike, our intrepid heroine bravely takes on a job waitressing at a new family restaurant owned by Ryu's money hungry mom, Akiko Mishima. What nobody knows is that an overheated Arisa and Kyouko are about to spice up the menu with their own special recipe for trouble! Next, when a new Mishima Weapons Satellite malfunctions, Akiko finds herself the target of an automated extermination program and it's time for Cats In Space as Nuku Nuku blasts off for a high altitude showdown with the ultimate self-defense system! Lasers and missiles are the least of our cat-girl's worries, however, as Nuku Nuku's mission backup is none other than Eimi, that cute-as-a-button robot who still wants Nuku Nuku dead, dead, dead! Will Nuku Nuku succeed or will Ryu and Kyusaku be taking a little pile of ashes out for dinner next Mother's Day? Find out in All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku, Volume 3!
