  • When Studio Ashi tried to revive the dormant Nuku Nuku franchise, one avenue they chose was to create a more serious sci-fi action show with the two main characters aged up for a romantic subplot. It did not work. This is All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku DASH!

    For those trying to figure out the anime that appears at 17:03, it's technically _Pop Team Epic,_ which spent the first two-three minutes of its premiere episode pretending to be a completely different anime named "Hoshiiro Girldrop" about a boy who lives with an idol girl or something.

    As one of the 90s series I never got around to but often saw brief clips of and like the art style of, it's sad to hear that it doesn't hold up well.
    Unrelated, the late 90s were a strange time for production values. Such extremes. You have OVAs like this that look like cheap TV, and TV like Lain that you would be forgiven for forgetting weren't OVAs.

    Another thing to note, there are multiple unsatisfying plot endings there. Like the flower girl don't know what happened to her and of course, who can forget Yuko, the artificial girl, experimented to be an esper, like a 90's elfen lied, who never had a human connection. What happened to her? We need closure about her.

    Recently watched all of Nuku Nuku via the Discotek release. Woof. Based on your review, I was unprepared for how bad Nuku Nuku TV would end up being. Due to your lack of review at the time, I had undeservedly high hopes for Dash until about 2-3 episodes in. Yeesh.
    Great work, KB. 2 questions though:
    1. Who wins in a fight between Nuku Nuku and A-ko?
    2. Would you please do Birdy The Mighty?

    Not me missing this review by a whole year despite still watching your channel often 💀 well better late then never 😂
    Edit: Also, now having watched the full video, I'm surprised how you didn't talk about excessive fanservice in DASH
    I mean the original OVAs had fanservice, but HERE...you can tell where the budget, that should've been used for the action, went and not in a good way. Aside from the cat milk scene and the jiggle physics in Nuku Nuku's transformation, which even at 13 made me uncomfortable and I watched friggin Sora no Otoshimono, there's a sequence where Akiko first goes on her mission
    A speech is going off in the background about how she could die and that fate of the city is in her hands and in the middle of that a good 5 seconds is dedicated to staring at her jiggling boobs...like why ??😃??
    Again the original anime had fanservice too, and heck some of my favorite characters of all time come from ecchi or poorly made ecchi adaptions of eroge, but in DASH? Its just awkward and really uncomfortable 😅
    Edit 2: Also the skin bleaching of Nuku Nuku and Arisa...like all the melanin from both of them are gone for no reason, something even Nuku Nuku TV got right most of the time
    Heck the only one with a dark complexion is basement dwelling Natsume, the least likely person to have one 💀

    tbh I watched Nuku Nuku Dash first. It was on the anime channel in my country ... and then they showed Nuku Nuku TV . I got obsessed with Dash and started to search about Nuku Nuku and found the OVA, which was so different from Dash that it made me very surprised ! I agree that the OVA is the best. The TV is kinda too much and trying too hard. But DASH is a whole different thing. I like it and don't compare it to the original, as it's own anime without connections to the original.
    But the songs to all animes are serious bamgers!!! I love Megumi Hayashibara and she's my favorite singer and voice actor. I was seriously obsessed with her and still am😂

    ok, two things. 1st, I don't like that the final villain is someone who didn't even have a name, despite being literally nuku nuku's cat twin sister. She doesn't have a personality. And all in all, this is the main problem of last minute villains. 2nd thing: Ryonusuke's mother should've died in that initial explosion created by nuku nuku twin(IT IS FRUSTRATING Because she DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A NAME!!). I mean the guy who activated her also DOESN'T HAVE A NAME!!! WTH!!

I have the whole set and I definitely remember the OVA and TV show, the highs and lows as it were... I still have the set but I'll just take your word for it that I saw Dash. It's safer that way.
    This video does make me want to watch Mahoromatic again, the SHAFT/Gainax co-production that proves... something or another.

    C'mon, Retrocrush, why did you preserve this big turd from the kitty litter pan instead of just scraping it into the trash? This anime clearly was a cash-grab and Nuku Nuku in name only, so much paper, ink, paint and celluloid could and should have been saved for better things. I'll never get any anime that tries to do that whole horrible "if you continuously stalk and harass a woman you're attracted to she might magically like you!" trope, also doesn't help the uncomfortable age gap between the two, said relationship would be problematic and illegal in real life.
    I would have said that the budget looked slightly higher than Nuku Nuku TV...until the fight scenes, from this show that came out in *1998* were shown, especially that mecha fight...the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime had better mecha fight animation and it was nearly two decades older, to where by the end they were using fewer and fewer cels...and 15:56, they couldn't even do the "Team Rocket flying" thing right.
    Sounds to me like Kyouko and Arisa's name swapping was a case of ignorance/forgetfulness, and based on their dynamics, eeyup, a crappy Tenchi rip-off...and that whole clone stuff thingy...the writers weren't even trying...there is only one All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku anime (would love to read the manga though), none of the others are canon.
