> In the initial episodes featured on this volume, "Memories Of You", Nanako proves that she can be a source of humor and frustration for the good doctor.  She's late for appointments, accidentally breaks things, and finds herself in the middle of an experiment gone bad!  If she's not getting in trouble, then she's training in preparation for her forthcoming surgery.  How that relates isn't really explained yet.  Anyway, the doctor's genius and Nanako's ability to find trouble are explored for character development in these two episodes of ANN.

     > About the only thing that I find mildly bothersome in ANN is Nanako's occasional high pitched whining.  It hardly seems to mesh with the supposed mature theme of the story line.  Other than that, I give very high marks to the presentation and smooth, convincing animation.  The artists are very good as well.  It's very rare to see a scene without any sort of movement, which is a good thing in my book.
