Magical Canan

Hiiragi Chihaya is an institute student that in her free time works in the Angel Kiss restaurant, property of her mother. One day and without waiting for it, while she was with her best friends Sayaka and Miyuri of the institute, She finds a peculiar mulberry animal that suddenly selects her to become a magical warrior and thus protect the world of the humans of the threat of the seeds of evil.

This way Chihaya meets Natsuki, an "agent" from a distant place called "Evergreen" sent to the Earth as soon as an unknown being robbed the seeds. Natsuki describes to Chihaya the power that has the seeds seeded on human desires and convinces her in helping him to purify the infected humans and to return the seeds to his place of origin.




Thus, Chihaya is transformed into the magical warrior Carmein, a girl much more physically developed that the same Chihaya. Complications arise while Carmein faces monsters, the presence of Cerulean Blue, another magical warrior with a little obnoxious attitude and the mysterious transfer student, Kojima Emi.

Magical Canan is a very peculiar anime series of the type Maho Shojo (magical girls). I was surprised the resemble of Chihaya-chan with Sakura from Card Captors (almost same age, height, hair style, etc) and I like the character seiyu (voice).

Amazing Nurse Nanako

Nanako Shichigusa is the untiring and surprising assistant of the Ogami hospital in charge of the cooking, cleaning and helping as a nurse in the Dr. Ogami Kyoji experiments - a recognized scientist and bioengineer.

With only 16 years, a spectacular force (and personality also), Nanako is in charge of all her duties while she handles with two martial arts masters, an old witch and other personnel of the hospital and everything without neglecting its training or duties with Dr Ogami.




It looks very odd, but Nanako is always the target in a series of surprise attacks whatever inside or outside the hospital (that is in the inner fields of a military base) and usually she is forced to make actions that do not pretend to have much logic itself but with a great effect.

In advances of the series, we see as Nanako is the third clone of a series of clones of the Original Nanako who died of a strange disease and each clone at the age of 20 years dies of the same disease. The Dr Ogami has promised to find the cure of “Nanako illness” to the second clone (before she died) when he was very young.

Amazing Nurse Nanako is a OVA or rather a quite original miniseries of 6 episodes (Save Our Nurse Project). I like very much the design. the personality and the clothes of Nanako (in special the fanservice). A loose point at the beginning was the Japanese voice of Nanako although that heightens the character in the end i think that was a good election.
