Anesthesia, Nanako denounced by Center for Nursing Advocacy

[Hyperguy]

The most informative article from 2005 you'll ever read in 2007!

http://www.nursingadvocacy.org/news/2005dec/01_rumble_roses.html

The image of Anesthesia in the above article stolen from my old Ladies of Rumble Roses article.  I originally stole the image from the official Rumble Roses website.  After reading their article, I'm still not sure whether I should hit nurses or have sex with them.  I really wish they would have elaborated on the benefits and disadvantages of both.


Another article about nurses that mentions Nanako:

Another common assumption in the media and society is that any female who appears to assist a physician is a nurse, whether she actually has any health care expertise or not. One especially unfortunate example is the recent Japanese anime video series "Amazing Nurse Nanako," whose star does not really appear to be a "nurse," but more of a klutzy maid who assists the evil Dr. Kyoji Ogami in his plans for world domination (see items 1, 2). Nanako is evidently one of a series of clones created to advance Ogami's cybernetic work, but her main dramatic function appears to be to provide what is delicately known in the world of anime as "fan service." Apparently, the series features many scenes in which events conspire to reveal to viewers Nanako's breasts, panties and so on, and some accounts say that she suffers sexual abuse at the hands of Ogami. Of course, the presentation of a "nurse" primarily as a sexual target is a problem. But the important points for the current discussion are the incorrect assumptions that Nanako must be a nurse if she assists Ogami (which relies on the deeper incorrect assumption that nursing consists of assisting physicians), and further, that "nurses" and "maids" are more less interchangeable, which obviously plays into the enduring handmaiden image of nurses.

More importantly;

"Apparently, the series features many scenes in which events conspire to reveal to viewers Nanako's breasts, panties and so on, and some accounts say that she suffers sexual abuse at the hands of Ogami."

tetsaru, why didn't you tell us about this sooner?  I may just have to check out Nanako now for the purpose of updating my medical journals.

She doesn't suffer... she just screams a lot.

[Cashino]

she just screams a lot.

From ecstesy, pain, or angst?

[LordRyunson]

Mostly Angst.

And emotional pain that the Dr. would force her to work so hard rather than have a good time. In episode 2, (If I could remember it) Nanako wanted pleasant memories from the field trip, not painful work.

No, I don't want ANYBODY throwing shit at Anesthesia. She RULES.
I mean, she's latina, she's (As some of you so smartly put it) hawt, and she's bent (Hehe, hehe, I said bent, hehe, cool) on conquering the world through use of a wrestling-modified Terminatrix! She's like an evil Carla Espinoza! Like an evil Salma Hayek in a nurse outfit! That's how awesome she is!
P.D.: And I would also like to point out the fact that she can take out a pair of shock pads out of seemingly nowhere, and use them without them being connected to any visible means of generating electricity. THAT's how great she is.

Latina girls FTW. I love them. Hurrah Hurrah!

Huzzah!

Hmm....?

*reads...*

Ok, I'm sick and tired of all these purist conservative feminist groups always bitching about random shit.  They should embrace the fact that we males think that nurses and/or maids are sexy.  Don't dis the fanservice.  I also hate it when groups make references to things they know nothing about (especially towards anime and video games).

Had they even watched the series in its entirety, they would've learned that the original Nanako was actually a nurse who took care of Dr. Kyoji when he was young.  The "Save Our Nurse" theme was about how she mysteriously died around the age of 20, and was cloned several times in order to find out what was causing her to die.  Dr. Kyoji, in turn, vowed to cure Nanako of this ailment.

Oh, and while it's on my mind:

*types a kitty face*

=3

Yeah, remember that?  No kitty face.  And though I DO like Nanako, Nanako does not equal kitty face.  Fix it, you heathens!  >_<;

[Cashino]

Funnier thing: notice how they fail to notice/mention nurse-based H-anime.

[ROMate]

The word filter on the cat face was established because of the extreme overuse of the face by Nanako fans, thus it turns into "I like Nanako" when you submit your post.

**EDIT** I do not know how to use spoiler warnings on this forum and its to late at night to figure it out sooo here is your warning. What is below contains spoilers!

Ya tetsaru. I figured youd say something before I would about her original self being a nurse. I just Very very recently watched the whole Nanako series after being errr uhh motivated by your avatar to track it and watch it =P. I thought it Was fun. (although not really sure why the most recent nanako has such huge breast were as the original didnt ??)

I just think its funny how people can use the first example they see and use it without even watching the whole thing. and was Dr. Kyoji really and EVIL Doctor bent on World Domination???

Correct me if  im wrong but thats not even close to what he was after....

Modified by JG to include the "spoiler" tag.  -1 rep to XheroX for not even trying the obvious.
