This zany, over-the-top OAV from 1992 set a pattern for numerous animeproperties. Elementary school student Ryunosuke is unhappy about his parents'divorce. His father is a nutty inventor, his mother is the president of MishimaHeavy Industries, and their quarrels achieve levels of destruction thateclipse Project A-Ko. Ryu's father creates Nuku Nuku by transplantingthe brain of a kitten into the body of his NK 1124 android, producing awell-intentioned but dangerously maladroit supergirl. Although Nuku Nukutries hard to please everyone, she doesn't demean herself, the way the titlecharacter does in Steel Angel Kurumi. At one point, Ryu wants hisparents to live together, so Nuku Nuku sets up a little fake apartment forthem--in one room of the vast Mishima mansion. The six episodes are allslapstick and silliness, but curiously endearing. (Rated 12 and older: briefnudity and risqué humor, cartoon violence, tobacco use) --CharlesSolomon

- Cat Androids
Even though technicially Nuku Nuku really isn't a catgirl like Merle from Escaflowne this is still one of the best ovas of its type, the 2 spinoff series, TV and Dash aren't as good as the originial.
Rating: - The cutest cat-girl of them all?
By now any serious anime fan should be familiar with the Japanese cat-girl stereotype. A hyper-active, supercute, super-girl. I'm not sure where this idea started, but I can tell you one thing. One of the best examples of the genre I have ever seen is this OVA. What makes it a classic? Is it the perfectly insane (perfectly hilarious?) mad-scientist father? The crazed mother who is alternately a business woman fanatic that would remind you a military commander (with a hilarious over-the-top personality) ... Read More

- 3rd greatest thing I have ever seen, EVER
First, I'd like to note that I agree with the reviewer beneath me, Michelle Klein-Hass, 100%. Everything she said, I couldn't have said better myself (except I thought nuku just meant 'warm' so I probably would have given bad information there). But seriously, this is the greatest anime I have ever seen, by any measure, and I'd rate it as the third greatest thing I have ever watched. (i.e. the other 2 aren't anime.... #1 is the movie Remo Williams....)
I have a horrifyingly good movie/toon memory. ... Read More
Rating: - Purrrrrrrfect!
Gotta love Nuku Nuku-chan. This is by far the best of the three animated series featuring the perky, genki andro-robot grrl with a kitty brain and the strength of The Terminator. You meet her creator, Natsume Kyusaku, and his son Natsume Ryunosuke, as they are fleeing from his ex-wife Mishima Akiko's Office Lady hit squad. Nuku Nuku is created out of the consequences of the chase.
During the rest of this six-episode Original Animation Video series, you watch Nuku Nuku deal with the weirdnesses of being ... Read More
Rating: - Nuku Nuku: A one-of-a-kind Must-Buy!!!
Okay, so let's get to the point: Nuku Nuku ROCKS. The story goes like this:
A young boy, Ryunosuke, comes across a kitten when he's...*ahem* "doing his business" in the ally. O.o He desides to take the kitten home, but when he takes it to the car, his dad Tells him "No Ryu, We're criminals now. We don't have time for a cat...We hafta get this thing outta here!!! *points to a robot body in the back seat*" But then a helicopter starts chasing and shooting at them, and the chase ... Read More
