Continuity: In the fourth episode, when Eimi steps into the bath, she's wearing a pair of panties (to hide the serial number on her rear). A few moments later, in the shot looking up from beneath the water, Eimi's hip is visible, and appears bare.

Quotes:

Natsume Kyusaku: Ryunosuke! Are you finished peeing yet?
Natsume Ryunosuke: [muttering] Geez, he's not class at all.

Great stuff!

I have three Nuku-Nuku videos now, all that seem to have been released over here. Like most anime, the storyline has a slightly goofy premise, but the characters are unique, a bit demented (each in their own way) and every episode is good for plenty of laughs. I strongly recommend getting the subtitled versions over the dubbed versions. Somehow, anime doesn't seem as funny when it's dubbed.
