Ask John: Is There More Dragon Half Or Nuku Nuku?

Question:
Is there any more Dragon Half or All Purpose Cat Girl Nuku-Nuku besides what has been released in the US?

Answer:
While there is no more Dragon Half anime than the two episodes that are available in the US, there is quite a lot of Super Cat Girl Nuku-Nuku anime that has not yet come to the US. The Nuku-Nuku TV series is a stand-alone continuity. Twelve episodes aired on television in Japan, while the home-video version of the TV series included two new episodes, bringing the total up to 14 episodes. Closely following the conclusion of the TV series, the TV series staff produced a new 12 episode OAV series titled Bannou Bunka Neko Musume Dash. Released on four tapes/laserdiscs, each having 4 half-hour OAVs, this second OAV series was also a new continuity story, this time featuring an older, more matronly green-haired Nuku-Nuku and a teen-age Ryunosuke. Unfortunately, neither of these newer series match the quality of the original 6 OAVs produced in the 1980s.
