Description:
Najica Hiragi, the heroine of this 2001 broadcast series, is a world-famous perfumer--and a top-flight secret agent who fights assassins, kidnappers, and androids. Although she already has a battery of Batman/Honey West-style gadgets, Najica gets the ultimate mechanical device in the second episode: Lila, an android "Humaritt." Lila is extraordinarily powerful, but childish naive, like Chi in Chobits. However, she learns fast and is soon dispatching villains at Najica's side. Their sci-fi adventures are flimsy at best, but they include lots of "fan service" visuals. Whether the characters are fighting a gun battle, lying unconscious, driving a car, walking through a door, or clobbering someone with a karate chop, director Katsuhiko Nishijima frames the shot to reveal their panties and/or cleavage. Hormonal adolescents are the only audience likely to find Najica entertaining. (Rated 17 and older: violence, nudity, alcohol use, sexual situations, including suggested lesbianism) --Charles Solomon
