Title (English) | Nurse Angel Ririca SOS |
Title (Japanese) | Nurse Angel Ririka SOS | Advertising Fantasy Novel |
Notes | Another 'Magical Girl' series. Genre(s): fantasy, ecology, adventure, elementary school, children |
Classification | shoujo |
Synopsis | Ririca is an ordinary girl who likes playing nurse, and her little friend's father is a doctor who works at the local hospital, a rather struggling establishment with an eccentric old director. At the school there is a rich heartthrob boy and a snotty bossy head girl. The formula is pretty much like others of this ilk (including Sailor Moon) but it's one of the dafter examples. When the bad guys (identifiable by ace-of-spades tattoos) cause trouble, Ririca changes into Angel mode, aided by her jewel bracelet and nurse cap (spot the toy product placement!). The Angel Blue Bomb staff thingy is the ultimate deterrent as she proceeds to "cure" them. |
Review | The child characters look younger than the romantic sub-plots indicate; at least one of Ririca's schoolgirl chums is
amusingly susceptible to handsome young men. Well, as they say of genre material, if you like this sort of thing, then this is the sort of thing you like. Some (mostly male) viewers clearly didn't, but it is quite fun, and if you check out an episode or two you shouldn't regret it. Anyway, the opening theme is a great stomping dance tune, and deserves to be turned up loud on your surround sound system! |
