Nora · review
"You are my creation, I command you to stop!" is the vibe I get from this show. Basically, a professor makes a HAL to take over the world and do some space pranks, but it decides that it needs to destroy the human race instead, as it finds the species to be chaotic and meaningless. And somehow it's up to a girl named Nora who invented the quirky dopey naive main character type, and a professor who might think they're dating to stop this robot before it releases the nukes! It is a constant matter of life and death for the people on Earth andwho live in the space town.
Animation quality-wise, this is pretty average, if not bad. Though not as bad as the sequel Twinkle Nora Rock Me, it still hasn't aged very well. When it comes to the rest of the content, however, I find the story to be pretty unique and interesting, and I think there are some hilarious moments to that make the show worth watching. Nora is a real Sally Mae, an immortal golden goose in this special, and as long as the professor is around her then he won't die either. Just like the professor says, "It's like [she's] born from Christ and the Buddha sneezing!" Which somehow makes sense. She can dodge literally anything with ease and defy gravity, which can be annoying sometimes but I promise is for the good of the special. She also seems to be able to charm any male figure, including the robot itself! The professor also pretends to know everything and orders her around, but it's Nora who gets the best ideas, and they're so good that he'll lift her up and kiss her. (Jeez, even the side characters are like "what sort of relationship do you two have?")
Edit: Also, panty shots in the end. So sad. AND THAT CREDIT MUSIC AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Overall it's objectively average, but I recommend people to watch it just for the laughs.
