    Overview:
         > The Amazing Nurse Nanako (ANN) series features Dr. Kyoji Ogami (the world's leading surgeon, scientist and bio-engineer), and Nanako Shichigusa (his nurse, housekeeper and addle-minded troublemaker).  New to the episodes in "Fire-Crackers" is the voluptuous, long-haired Kaoru Satsuki (seen below in the red outfit), who is another one of the good doctor's assistants.

         > Episode III / "The Psycho Patient":  Dr. Ogami is asked to study a serial killer/rapist who ends up having an understandable, and uncontrollable interest in Nanako.  As it turns out, the psycho is the result of some biological cloning experiment, and he transforms into a hideous monster that lusts for women.  He chases Nanako and Satsuki throughout the hospital while leaving a path of destruction.  Nanako ends up being bait in a trap set for the monster...

         > Episode IV / "Fire-Crackers":  Dr. Ogami goes on a one day trip while his team, including Nanako in a hi-tech mech suit controlled by Satsuki, competes in a weapons exhibition.  The doctor's old college rival shows up to gain revenge with his entry, but that plan ultimately backfires.  It's interesting to see what happens when Nanako's suit runs out of power though...  Anyway, by the time Dr. Ogami returns, his top secret hospital is laid to ruins!

    Bottom Line:
         > ANN's animation and artwork are still top notch.  These episodes add Satsuki to the cast of interesting characters.  I liked episodes III-IV (on this DVD) better than I-II, because there's more action and a better storyline.  At any rate, ANN: Fire-Crackers is an acceptable value as you only get two episodes (60 mins).
    Rating:
    Overall: 90%
