Back to emperortopaz's Blog

This is the six-hundred-and-twenty-second week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.

*Once again Topaz is standing outside the mansion from last week, with his group of Riri, Kotoko, Erio, and Dalian still following him.*

Welcome back everyone. Last week we managed to defeat the horrible youkai that Kotoko brought forth to try and defeat us-

: I'm still getting the stink off my cane...

: That's what you get for getting too close to the third eye! Get it, because it's a shirime... n-never mind... (Darn it, Topaz. You can never find a good place to use that joke, even when I'm the one putting it in. But Zettai did have a great joke...)

That may be, though the less we think about that horrible Japanese mythological creature the better. Anyway, we're here to finish up the Tower of Terror or whatever it was called.

: Be a little more enthused, Topaz! Not that I expect a fool such as yourself to remember specifics, but you're the one writing this thing.

Do you really think that I enjoy having to fight so many people?

: That's true. Knowing Topaz he'd probably just talk about meganekkos with huge knockers or something...

: Sounds like his first year...

Hey now. My dark past may not involve giant robots and wars, but there's no reason to be that cruel towards me! Now, what are we up to?

: Playing Crown Tundra?

I-I mean besides that! I still find it dumb that you can't get both horses and golems in the same game...

: It was like that back with the Hitmons and fossils, Topaz. Kids these days are so spoiled...

I want to be a kid and spoiled by an oneesan-er, n-never mind that. Just thinking out loud.

*He steps on the porch, with Riri behind him.*

Hmmm, no pumpkins this time. Nor any strange skull decorations for keys to stay inside.

: Maybe that's because the door is unlocked this time.

: That would be a poor game mechanic. This way you can learn how to pick and use inventory items without the threat of being attacked.

: It would appear that Topaz and Riri aren't the only gamers here... Sigh...

: It's been helpful in all the areas though. Here, I'll try the door and-

: HEY! I found the key! It was under the mat!

What a good place, though I suppose that we should have expected it!

: WHOOA!

*Topaz and the others are distracted by Kotoko finding the key that they don't see Ririchiyo get taken by a secret passage into the building. The door flips and pulls her inside, and it looks normal as Topaz looks back.*

What was that noise... wait, where did Riri go?

: She was here just a moment ago!

???: Uhmmm... Is this thing on?

*A voice is heard from within the house.*

: Wait a minute, that's RadicaX! She must have kidnapped Ririchiyo!

RadicaX: Very good. Did you deduce that or did you have to go to a detective.

: I'll have you know that I am an detective! Or at least a close approximation...

RadicaX: Silence! I will not be pushed to the side like Yukari was!

Poor Yukari. I apologize profusely...

: Just like you need to apologize for last year!

I really should, but I am never sure how to apologize. Wait, last year... Don't tell me that you stole Riri away to kill here!

RadicaX: That is correct, as I am going to have experiments done on her! She'll have to have her brain removed!

Oh no! Then she'd enjoy DxD, Astolfo, and GoPrincess PreCure! You monster!

RadicaX: Then you had better brave this horrible mansion and defeat all the traps that I placed in the way!

: Not traps! Those are so horrible the word gets banned from various websites!

That makes no sense. Obviously the problem is our oversensitive culture and the traps themselves!

RadicaX: Not that kind of traps!

Phew. I was worried you there were more horrors than usual inside...

: I have no idea what this is a reference to, but I already hate that and expect it coming from some game. Shall we enter?

Good plan. I'll go vanguard so that we don't get too surprised.

: Well then go forth, meatshield!

*Kotoko gives Topaz the key and he opens the front door. He enters the floor and is greeted by a large staircase with gargoyles and a few doors. He picks the nearest one and enters it, looking around the kitchen.*

Hmmm, this place looks normal... Microwave, sink... broken chainsaw covered in blood... yep, nothing out of the ordinary.

*However, as he goes closer a nurse apparently is in front of the fridge door.*

: Oh? Want some food? Come here dearie?

Oh no! Not the terrible music! The flashbacks! The nostalgia!

*Terrible anxiety-inducing music plays as Topaz goes into the fetal position. Meanwhile, outside...*

: Topaz is sure taking some time... Do you think that we should go in and see what's going on?

: I don't know. It looks kinda creepy. What if Topaz is put in some sort of dungeon?

: Then we had better go help him. I wouldn't be surprised if he got into some sort of trouble right away...

: I'll stay out here. For safety.

: Good plan. Let's enter!

*Dalian and Kotoko enter the building. However, we arrive with Topaz being thrown into the dungeon by the nurse.*

: I should have tied you to the bed, cutie!

You know, that line is only in the prototype. No way Nintendo would have let something like that by.

: R-really? But I downloaded the script because Hermes told me to... AH~ Why can't I do anything right?

*The nurse looks through pages of a document, nearly dropping them.*

Careful with those!

: Thanks! Wait, I shouldn't be so kind with you! You're a mortal enemy!

That may be, but I'm the one that's going to do my blog on you today!

: Oh no! I knew that I should have been suspicious of the only guy entering first!

Certainly. I may have been scared, but getting captured was all according to plan! After all, I needed to meet with you to say that...



: Um, so what is this “blog” thing? Hermes told me to beware and keep you from doing it, but I'm not sure...

Do not worry as I am just going to talk about you. Though some things might be perverted...

: PERVERTED! Oh no no no! I can't have you do anything perverse!

I will only be talking about things that you've already done, not do anything with you. Trust me, I'm sure that my friends have no desire to want anything from you...

: Oh? And why are you so sure of that?

Let's just say that you're like Igor, only your hunches are in the FRONT.

: W-what?

I'm just saying that you're an assistant to a doctor, nothing too much to talk about.

: I suppose so... And maybe your readers will watch my series and it'll become more famous!

I imagine the ship is sailed on that... but how about we get going? After all, I want to finish this blog before whoever is behind this huge security door and in their secret lab starts dissecting Ririchiyo.

: Wait, how did you find the secret lab? It was supposed to be, you know, SECRET!

First off you blabbered and confirmed it if I wasn't sure. That said... Look at the wall...

*Topaz points, and the wall indeed has a huge panted arrow pointed at the big security door on the other side of the dungeon. Written above the arrow is the words “Secret Lab” as well.*

: Eek! I can't believe that you cracked the code!

Some code if I'm able to crack it! But enough delays, I still need to begin the blog!

==Head==
===Hair===
Nanako has fairly nice hair, with a lovely color. It's a nice dark brown color, with a bright zig zag to it due to lighting, but I like dark colors including brown. Her hair looks fairly short but that's because it's kept up in two buns, held in by blue ribbons. While we don't see her too much with her hair down it is fairly full, which is a shame we don't see her like that too much. You can tell this by how long Nanako's sides are, but it's a waste of her nice volume. She also has bangs that sorta lift up and forward more, and are long enough to reach between her eyes. Pretty good bangs, if I would say so. But then again Nanako's hair is one of her stronger things, with a nice color and volume as well as her cute nurse/maid hats as I can't forget that. That said, overall it isn't too impressive and she really needs to have her hair down more often (not that I dislike buns, but because I like free hair. Both at the same time would be even better).
Grade: B

===Eyes===
You can kinda tell that Nanako is from a nineties/turn of the century anime-and man, I feel old considering that was 20 years ago-due to her eyes and face. They're somewhat the old style, with a vertical appearance and looking somewhat narrow. Or maybe they look a little awkward due to there being a lot of space between them in images, but something doesn't look right about it. The shape is alright, though I think that Nanako might have a tarame even with the steep slope due to her design being a little more jagged overall. As such her eyes kinda curve but not quite enough to be a “proper” tarame so it's hard to tell. Still pretty good though, and I like how strong her corners and small eyelashes are. It's hard for me to tell Nanako's eye colors though, they're kinda red but a little brown or tan too (though the latter might just be because I look at her hair too much). It still fits her hair color though, and looks nice. I'm not sure if she wears glasses at any time as it's been a while since her series. Overall Nanako does fairly well here, even if the gap between her eyes is a little awkward but her eye shape and color is quite nice.
Grade: B-

===Face===
Again the age of the series causes a little bit of an issue here. Her facial curves are a little more harsh, with a long chin and a triangle-mouthed smile. Though with the point downward rather than a mouth like Chiaki Minami for example. Nanako also has a fang, which while I'm a bit more forgiving for still makes me a little iffy (moreso because it reminds me of a certain trap, even if Nanako's isn't a skin-fang). Nanako also has large cheeks, though that might be because her face is wider than what is more common these days. It is a sign of the times, as well as something Radix had a lot of (like with Divergence Eve). She also has zig zags as blush for her cheeks, though they're black which looks a little awkward at least for my tastes. I will say that I do like her small nose, which is often a dot, and she does have some silly faces too (including a cat-looking one with thin pupils). But overall the issue is that Nanako is just too much of an old design for me to enjoy too much.
Grade: B-

: Huh, I thought that you were going to be badmouthing me more. Hermes told me that you hated everything good, and thus I would regret being blogged.

Being fair the worst is still to come. Your head isn't that bad, but rather it's what's below that's the problem.

: EHHH?! You're not going to cut my head off and put it on some other body, are you? I don't WANT to be a half-monkey!

I imagine no one would, but you need to be less threatened. After all, what can I do while I'm trapped in here. I'm so close to Riri that I can almost smell her!

: P-pervert!

Not like that!

*Topaz hears a ringing in his pants.*

: E-eh? What's that?

Excuse me a moment, I have to take care of something...

: Go right ahead.

*Topaz goes to the other side of the dungeon, with Nanako staying in place. He then answers the phone.*

What's up?

: Dalian won't get out of the library. She says that she's comfortable there with Chuck the plant.

Watch out for Meteor Slime-wait, that's just a reference to this game and from something completely different. Did you check all the boards there?

: Boards? Hey wait, there's a strange rectangle in here with two holes in it.

Yes, that's a cassette tape.

: No fooling?! Man, this game must be REALLY old!

Indeed, but get out of there. There's nothing really that useful in there...

: I refuse to budge until I have read all these books!

Fine... Looks like you've gotta do this yourself Kotoko.

: I'm not being paid enough for this... Hey, is that the doorbell?

*Indeed as while they were talking the doorbell rings.*

Oh no! That means that someone might be coming! Get outside or you'll be locked out of so many endings!

*Fortunately outside Erio is carrying the package on her head, still wearing the futon.*

: Package~ Package~ Hmmm? These stamps fell off... and they aren't even canceled... They must not use Twitter.

This is of the utmost importance!

: Fine Fine. I'll hurry as well as I can...

*Kotoko starts heading towards the front door, taking time to pluck a radio tube from an old radio. She's quite slow for cane reasons. However, as she was about to reach the stares she sees a shadowy figure behind her and it reaches for her. We return to Topaz.*

Let's hope that she's reached the door in time.

: Door? What are you talking about?

Er, nothing. Just talking to people who need help getting through games. This one is a real stumper!

: It is good that you are helpful, but do not think that you can distract me any further! Get on with the blog, and stop talking to your little friends!

I don't think that you'd be as excited to hear the rest of the blog if you knew what was coming...

==Body==
===Build==
Thus we begin what the true problem with Nanako is, or at least one of the areas. She's very slim but has a large chest, though I'll talk more about that in the next area (as she's very mamocentric). She does have a trim waist and she doing various exercises in the ED as well. Sadly it doesn't show her ass like with Juuden-chan's ED though. Nanako also has pretty slender thighs and narrow hips, with a nearly complete lack of any ass. This means that the times that she DOES show her ass, as rare as they are it looks flat and lacks anything interesting at all. The cover on MAL really seems backward, especially for MAL who usually hates ass but I suppose being MAL-informed is no surprise. Overall Nanako is really awful in this area, looking far too poor to keep anyone's interest even though she seems to be an attempt to be a sex symbol.
Grade: D+

===Chest===
As mentioned Nanako is extremely busty, with a large and bouncy chest. Similar to Divergence Eve which was made by the same company she seems to have torpedo boobs as well, even while naked so it couldn't be said that her clothes are making her look like that. She also ends up showing it off quite a bit, and in case you're curious she has sorta small nipples though with somewhat larger areolas (at least as far as I can tell). This is definitely Nanako's worst area as not only does she have such awkward breasts but she also shows her medicine rack off far too much due to this being a “fanservice” anime.
Grade: D

===Clothes==
Nanako has a somewhat good wardrobe, but it is brought down by how mamocentric her outfits are. She usually wears a tight black maid outfit with an apron, though it does cause her chest to be more emphasized. It is a cute maid outfit though, and the thighhighs and side-tied striped panties are good even if she wears heels with them. She also has various other outfits, likely ones that Dr. Ogami puts her into including a bikini-like pink exercise outfit with cat ears and collar bell, skimpy combat suit with various weapons that can be attached to it, a green and black strapless bikini, a pink nurse outfit, a tennis outfit, a striped bikini, and a rollerblade outfit with jean shorts, striped bra, and pads on her wrists, knees, and elbows. Again you can kinda tell that this was made in the 90s with that last outfit, though it's possible some of those were just in official images. There might be other outfits in the series, but these were all the ones that I could find. Overall you can see that Nanako's main issue, meaning her mamocentric problems, crop up as she as a lot of outfits that puts emphasis on her large breasts and that certainly is a problem.
Grade: C+

*Nanako is mostly quiet, coughing into her hand.*

See what I mean? Your body does really terrible, especially for one from a “fanservice” anime. Granted I blame your studio since there WERE better asses in series but yours was being boring. Heck, even a series like TURN A aired around the same time and had far better bare asses!

: I don't see why you hate my chest so much! After all, I imagine that you in your younger days...

Leave that out of it! I was a fool back then, and the less we talk about it the better! Besides, it's not like I had a lot of...

*Topaz's phone rings.*

Phew, saved by distractions...

*He answers the phone, with Erio on the other end.*

: TOPAZ! There's a strange tentacle monster here!

: Heh heh, it looks like you'll be having TENTACLE DIFFICULTIES!

: And she's making dad jokes too!

It should be alright. Just feed her wax fruit and fruit juices. Or the can of soda that has sponsorship in the game but not the blog.

: The P*psi? But I thought that's needed later...

: No thanks, it makes me burp.

Darn, so we have that version of the game. Just use the fruit drinks then.

: Awesome, now I can get even further upstairs! Thank you very much!

Of course, I'm glad to help.

*Topaz and Erio hang up, but a new ally is soon seen as Kotoko is tossed in a sitting position into the dungeon. She looks non-plussed as Topaz helps him up, a monotone face.*

: Why I've never been so humiliated!

: Eh? Where did this sassy lost girl come from?

: Grrr, I'll have you know that I'm older than you are!

*Kotoko even waves her cane at the nurse.*

Careful doing that, you might hit her with your lolihag cane.

*He starts dialing.*

: What are you doing?

You'll see...

*He talks into the phone.*

Hey Erio?

: Yes?

What's the phone number in the bathroom?

: The one behind the mummy? Let me just take a look.. turning on the water and... THERE! It's-

*Erio gives Topaz the number.*

Thanks, I needed that. See ya.

*He hangs up only to call someone else.*

Dalian! Can you help me with something?

: It had BETTER be quick. I was about to turn the page.

Yeah, after this call is over can you call this number: *Topaz gives the number.*

: I suppose so, but I don't see why...

It will all make sense soon enough...

*Topaz hangs up, but soon another phone goes off. It's Nanako's though, even if she has trouble with the vibrate setting and her hands being butter apparently. Fortunately she eventually manages to answer it and presses it against her ear.*

: Hello? Wait, is this a prank call? If you're going to do it right, at least have some heavy obscene breathing!

*Nanako is busy talking on the phone to the random number, so Topaz presses a loose brick. The door to the dungeon, though not the one leading to the secret lab, is opened. He waves Kotoko out of there, who escapes just as the door closes. On the other side she also picks up a key as she goes through a dark room. Nanako finishes the phone call and looks around.*

: Wait, wasn't there another person in here?

I would have noticed if someone else was thrown in the dungeon. Now, how about we finish up with the blog?

: I suppose so. After all, there is no way you'll be able to escape this dangerous floor and save Ririchiyo!

We'll see about that! This year no one is going to die... er, in the blog. Poor Rika...

==Mind==
===Personality===
Nanako is the assistant to Dr. Ogami, but she seems to do nothing but cause problems for him. She's very clumsy and accident prone, and for further tropes she's a poor cook as well. However, she does have a good heart and wants to work well with him. The issues is that Nanako really doesn't have much when it comes to personality besides being a human wrecking ball and protagonist, and I hate that type of character. Sure, there is the backstory where she's the fourth clone to assist his family because they keep dying from a mysterious disease and that he is trying hard to cure it. It's mainly a dramatic reveal for the last few episodes, and this series is a forgettable perverse OVA. Maybe we could have gotten more if it wasn't half a normal series, but I don't think that a lot of people could have stayed through much more. Nanako tends to be a whiner, though perhaps that's more an issue on the Dub version. I blame seeing comments on that version at least, the Japanese version has a better VA in Maria Yamamoto who while I did watch (probably, I think-it's been a while). She's not too well known though, as I haven't seen any other series she's from as most seem to be older series. Still, overall Nanako is the type of character that's less a character and more an avenue for a fanservice protagonist. There was a lot more they could have done with her, or maybe that's just because this series seems to be so forgotten (and perhaps for good reason...).
Grade: C

===Libido==
This area has a few issues to it. On one hand Nanako does seem to have a deep love of Dr. Ogami, but he treats her really poorly. She is constantly threatened to be used as a test subject, and often is though not as bad as he threatens. It's a bad relationship, is what I'm trying to say. She just wants to love him, but he doesn't seem to reciprocate which causes her to desire his praise even more. It's not like he hates Nanako either, as he's probably more frustrated at the jobs she does (or causes him to have more) as well as having her around to remind him of the clone that he couldn't save. Nanako also dislikes the perverse moments he does, such as dressing her in skimpy outfits, but she does go along with it. It's frustrating to me as I really like balanced pairs and this one is extremely dysfunctional, with Nanako desiring attention but getting negative in return. Overall it's really meh, even if they end up together, as the relationship is strained so much.
Grade: C+

===Age===
Nanako is obviously younger than 20 years old, since as mentioned earlier the clones all die at 20. This also places her as quite a bit younger than the doctor, as he met with her previous clone. As far as I could find on the official site Nanako herself is 16 and Dr. Ogami is 28, and yes I'm surprised the site is still up as well (though it is very 90s). I'm not too big on age differences like this as I prefer when the girl is older, but I don't judge this area on that. Overall Nanako being 16 is pretty good, matching a standard high school age or so.
Grade: B+

Total Grades: 52
Average score: 5.8
Final Grade: C+

And that's the blog for the week! What did you think of it, Nanako?

: What did I think of it? You were extremely harsh on me, disliking my body and personality! You were far too cruel!

That's because you're extremely annoying and mamocentric! Granted, the former isn't as extreme as the latter, but there's still far too many issues when it comes to you! Unlike Yukari who was actually great and deserved better!

: You're only saying that because your friend complained!

It's not my fault I don't notice things! I'm very dumb at times, unable to see things. If it weren't for my glasses I'd probably be unable to even see the palm of my outstretched hand! That said, I'm not the only one that can't see the obvious things...

: What are you talking about?

*As soon as Nanako finished saying that Dalian, Kotoko, and Erio all emerge from the door.*

: EH?! Now there's three of them? And you, I know you've been here before!

: That I have! Though fortunately with Dalian manipulating the NPC AI I was able to sneak into the son's room and take his card key! And the hamster...

: I still can't believe that you nearly put it in the microwave...

: I just wanted to see what would have happened! That said...

*She looks at the hamster.*

: *Puppy dog eyes.*

: There was no way I'd be able to go through with that.

: While she was doing that I was doing a lot of things. I was able to find tools and a car and a glowing key! It helped that I was able to drain the pool as well.

I thought I heard warning sirens while I was doing the blog.

: Be proud of me too, Topaz! I managed to befriend that tentacle creature!

I hope that you didn't need to use the mating record...

: I'm not foolish enough to do that! Ew, gross. Though I did use a recording that I sent in...

*Flashback music*

: Thank you so much for this contract! Now I shall finally become my true calling-Youtuber!

*Flashback music ends.*

Sounds like she'll be a useful ally. Anything else?

: Yes! I tried to phone home, but sadly...

*Flashback music.*

: It's ringing! I'm glad that Kotoko had that radio tube so that I can do this... Hello? Aliens?

: This is Galactic Police. Do you have something to report?

: Whoops. Wrong number!

*She hangs up.*

: So one of those calls... I'd better go and teach that kid a lesson!

*End flashback.*

Wait, so the police are on the way?! We'd better hurry and open this door then!

*Topaz takes the glowing key from the girls and opens the first locks, only to reveal a keypad.*

: Oh no! And we only have so much time!

: If the cops come before it's open they'll just leave!

: What are we going to do?

0000. Open.

*The door opens easily.*

: No no! It can't be this easy! How could you have beaten all the traps and such this quickly?

I may have once been frightened of this game, but it also caused me to research it a lot! And the girls of course helped by doing all the heavy lifting!

: But what am I going to do now?!

: Hey, you must be the one who is in for all these galactic crimes! You're coming with me!

: I was just an assistant! Please, don't take me a waaaayyy~

*The policewoman then handcuffs Nanako and drags her away.*

That's one less thing we'll need to worry about. But I have to still save Ririchiyo!

*He enters the room and saves Ririchiyo from the machine.*

: Phew. That was getting uncomfortable. And it looks like this game-er, floor has been beaten.

*Sirens start to go off.*

Oh no! It seems that Nanako started the self destruct sequence, and we still have to deal with the meteor!

*Topaz hurries to the next room, putting on a radiation suit. He then picks up the meteor after hitting the mind control device off.*

: Unhand me!

Would you rather be eaten by a Rayquaza? No, don't answer that.

: Great job, Topaz! Only one thing left to do!

That's right!

*He goes through a door and lifts a garage door. Sadly there's no car inside.*

Girls! What happened here?!

: Oh, yeah. Well, I put the key I found in the car but instead of starting up it just got sent in reverse! And then it lifted off into space as well!

: She's lucky to have made it out of there in time, or she'd be in the cosmos...

: Grr, I'm jealous that I didn't get a chance to do that...

: Oh ho ho. Now what are you going to do? You have no manuscript, no contract, and there's no time for the police! You've no chance to win now!

: Looks like we got locked out of the ending... Perhaps Nanako is wiser than we expected...

Don't even think about things like that. Besides, there's still one more...

*Topaz runs at top speed through the house, going through the dining room, kitchen, and up several flights of stairs.*

Phew, I'm glad that I had all that stair training, or I'd never be able to make this!

: Are you crazy? What could you possibly do with me up stairs? HA! You must be going insane!

*Topaz stops by a tall plant and typewriter.*

Phew. Now, little known ending don't fail me now!

: HURRY TOPAZ! The house is going to explode!

*Topaz shoves the meteor into the mouth of the man-eating plant. It lets out a powerful belch, and the self-destruct sequence stops.*

Pant... Just in time...

*He sits down, and is soon joined by Riri and the others.*

: Congratulations, Topaz! You did it!

That I did...

: And you saved us all with your tips!

: I just wish that I could have finished the books in the library...

: Do not worry! I'll disperse the illusions around you! Take THIS!

*Topaz and the others soon reappear in a storage room, with a broken golden statue beside them. Yukari is there too.*

: Thank goodness. You seemed like you were walking around doing nothing. Granted I do expect that from Topaz-desu...

: It seems that this was projecting illusions, but I'm sure that Nanako was still taken away for good.

We can only hope so. And it looks like there's stairs upward once again...

*Topaz and Riri start going up, but the others are blocked.*

: Wait, what's going on?

: There seems to be some magical interference.

: Or perhaps Topaz is just tired of us hanging around.

: Nonsense! I'm charming and charismatic, not to mention other words not starting with “C”.

: Please do not tempt me to ridicule by mentioning a certain four letter word. Not that you are one, but you set it up...

Indeed. Riri and I will have to face Hermes by ourselves.

: I'll have this taken care of as soon as I can! Then we can go and rescue you-desu!

Indeed. But now it is time to figure out who the girl whose been causing us all this trouble all year long is!

: I'll be sure to give her a piece of my mind!

*Topaz and Riri go up to the final floor, seeing a throne room with a long empty table in front of them. The one on the throne is in shadows, and there seems to be a shield decorating a pillar beside the throne.*

That must be her... Hermes...

: W-wait... I can't tell who it is. Someone turn on a light or something!

Hermes: Topaz... you have traveled far and done well. Sadly your blogs will soon come to an end.

Oh? What do you have that they didn't have?

Hermes: Experience...

*She looks up from the shadows, causing Topaz and Riri to gasp at the reveal.*
