This is pretty much a meat and potatoes story, straight sex. No tentacles, Nazi Death Rape Machines, or three phallus demons in this one.

EXTERNAL EXAM

10 years ago, Dr. Ryuji Hirasaka left the medical profession after a certain "incident" involving a woman named Narumi Jinguji. Out of the blue, he receives a job offer at Saint Juliana's. Upon his arrival, he discovers that the head of the hospital is none other than Narumi. She tells him that the reason he is there is to help train nurses to "pleasure" certain clients. Eager to accept the job, he and Narumi seal the deal with an "oral" agreement.

As Narumi e-mails him each new "trainee", Hirasaka begins the training process by finding out their dirty little secrets. He then forces them to his will, making them obedient and willing sex slaves.

These "Night Shift Nurses" have their work cut out for them.

DVD VISION TEST

VIDEO: The video quality is fine, considering that this was a pretty low budget anime. There is quite a bit of wrinkling in the video, which, at times, detracts from your enjoyment. Other than that, no real problems noted.

AUDIO: The audio for both the English and Japanese are standard 2.0. While the Japanese is louder in volume, the English is softer in tone. There isn't a lot of surround sound bits in this, but enough to make the moans and groans sound better than real life.

EDITS: Episodes 4 and 5 were removed due to explicit content (still trying to figure that one out), and some scenes have been edited. On the plus side they have removed the pixels around the "naughty bits", giving us men a real great view!

EXTRAS: The extras are not quite as plentiful as other CPM releases. We have an art gallery, a brief video essay on "Anime Art form", and a couple of promotional trailers.

The DVD ROM features include an art gallery, the original script, links, and cast and crew credits. The menu is something you have to see to believe. Make sure your hands are warm.

WIDESCREEN REVIEW

STORY: Well, there is not much on plot (duh, it's porn). The situations are interesting, and the sex scenes are well done. There is a back story, only hinted, yet not revealed. Ryo Saga's script is typical erotic anime. No tentacles in this one.

ACTING: Pretty darn good, compared to other hentai releases. Bjorkin Stiles is perfect as the always horny, very evil Dr Hirasaka. I love Lynna Dunham as Ren. Her voice is sexy, and her moans really get me in the mood. The same goes for Irie as Narumi. I would love to see what these lovely ladies look like.

Japanese wise, I prefer Nana Aikawa as Remi. Her voice is very sexy. As with most Japanese girls, Yuu Mikage is a little too high pitched for my tastes.

SEX SCENES: Pretty much straight sex. There is missionary, S&M, oral, anal, reverse cow girl, one 69, some vibrator use, and a few Kama Sutra moves. No girl on girl action though. Damn it!

FINAL EXAM

If this is your first introduction to hentai, this is a good one to start with. This is pretty much a meat and potatoes story, straight sex. No tentacles, Nazi Death Rape Machines, or three phallus demons in this one.

I will warn you, the way the doctor "converts" his young nurses is by rape. Don't worry, in typical misogynist fashion, the girls actually like being forced to have sex. It's not long before they become Dr. Hirasaka's willing sex slaves. Two of them are also virgins, so you can guess what happens.

The dialogue is typical porn dialogue, but there is not a lot of use of the "f-word", which is nicer than most. The acting is better than most porn movies, and Bjorkin Stiles really gets into the devilish mood of his character.

If you know anything about the adult film industry in Japan, all shots below the waist were covered in pixels. If you know anything about the US adult film industry, they spend most of their time down south. So Anime 18 has removed the pixels, and what a difference it makes. The animators went into a lot of detail, despite knowing that it would be covered up. The only thing odd is the pubic hair on the men. It looks like some one needs to mow the grass.

There are two down points to this series. The first is that there is no lesbian action. You figure with nurses, there would be plenty of it. Nope. The second is that it ends without us finding out if Hirasaka and Narumi's nefarious plan works. The third episode ends with Hirasaka getting his next email for his next trainee. No closure, no revelations, no more sex, no chance of girl on girl action. Bummer! The good news is that CPM is releasing the second volume, so we may get some....you know.

With nice animation, good vocal pyrotechnics, and plenty of sex, "Night Shift Nurses" is 70 minutes of decent erotic entertainment. If you can get over the whole rape thing, you will find yourself watching Dr Hirasaka's experiment with great interest.
