The World of Narue (2003) combines elements of two popular anime genres: teen romance and magical/alien girl. Fourteen-year-old Kazuto Izuka is good-hearted, nerdy middle school student whose life turns upside down when he meets Narue Nanase. To Kazuto's amazement, this pretty, unassuming girl likes him. Although he's willing to overlook it, she does have one minor problem: she's half alien. Her father was an inspector for the Galactic Federation working on Earth when he met and married her mother. The mismatched pair begin a shy romance, despite the advice of Kazuto's friend Maruo and the interference of UFO fanatic Yagi. Voice actor Jamie McGonnigal imbues Kazuto with a warm appeal that recalls Tenchi in Tenchi Muyo!, rather than Ataru in Urusei Yatsura (both young men faced with attractive aliens). Narue (Veronica Taylor) is naive to the point of simplicity, but the attraction is understandable. Unfortunately, the screenplays by Yuka Enatsu and Yuu Sugitani don't really develop the romance or the possibilities for adventure and comedy the situation offers. There are some genuinely funny moments when Kazuto introduces Narue to the anime "Magical Girl #4," a spoof of Sailor Moon. But the series never goes much of anywhere, despite the charm of the characters.

The four-disc set comes loaded with extras, including comparisons of both the original manga and the storyboards with finished animation, brief interviews with American and Japanese voice actors, and Japanese trailers and commercials.

Customer Reviews of The World of Narue Collection

Great Box set for fun show
In a nutshell, definitely worth it. This became one of my favorite shows when I first saw it, and I was taken by surprise at how well CPM actually treated this series with their box set. The 4-DVD set is extremely well done, with tons of extras (including actors commentaries, directors commentaries all subtitled), and contains everything you'd need. Also, as someone who really hates English dubs, I was surprised at the quality of the dub, especially with the leads.

For those who don't know the show or manga series, it's a great gentle romantic love comedy that tries to be as real as possible, given the fact that the girl (Narue) is half-ailen. The characters though, are made to be like real people, not characatures, making the show much more enjoyable.

14yr-old Narue Nanase is half-alien, half-human. Her human mom died when she was little, and she lives alone in a run-down apartment with her (alien) dad, who came to Earth 14 years beforehand as an observer. Because Narue knows she's half alien, she's always kept to herself, and never made any friends. Others in class don't believe she's an alien, and mock her. Though she knows her father was born in space, Narue loves the Earth, and wants to stay (as to her, Earth is home) and hates it when the Galaxy Federation pesters her to go to school in space, because she's half-human too. But not just the Galaxy Federation want her to leave: there's an alien terrorist group that will use violence to get them to leave, and that causes trouble. Thankfully the one thing Narue can do is teleport with the help of a special headband connected to an orbiting ship. With Narue and her dad being very poor (as now the dad has taken a normal Earth construction job) Narue is responsible, and very, very thrifty. Knowing she's half-alien, she keeps to herself, and has no friends.

Kazu Izuka: the same age as Narue, he goes to the same school. Friendly, average guy, not popular, but not shunned either. A bit of an otaku (anime fan) but not overboard. When Narue saves him from an alien terrorist, he instantly falls for her, and doesn't care that she's half alien (he's just happy he has a girlfriend). Basically an easygoing, honest guy.

Hajime Yagi: a girl in Narue's class who is a total Sci-Fi nut (aka, a walking X-Files). She can't stand it that Narue claims to be an alien, because she insists aliens have tenticles and look like the pictures in her book. But she's not bad, as you'll later discover.. a latch-key kid, she doesn't have any friends either, except to absorb herself in her books. A great character.

Maruo: Kazu's best friend, and Yagi's neighbor. He's always liked Yagi, though Yagi doesn't notice (to her, Maruo's just a childhood friend and neighbor).

Kanaka Nanase: Narue's younger "older sister. 100% alien (same dad, different mom), Kanaka would be 12 years older than Narue, except that when she travelled to earth she didn't age as time on Earth did, so she arrives still being 12 years old, making her younger even though she's an "older sister". Sometimes can be bratty, but deep down, a nice person.

There are plenty of other characters as well that I won't go into here (including a starship in love), but I hope the above give you an idea of the setting of the show.

However you should know that the series doesn't focus so much on the sci-fi angle, but rather the characters themselves, and the relationship between them -- making it nicely refreshing. Kazu-chan is the first boyfriend (or friend for that matter) Narue's ever had, and Narue is the first girlfriend Kazu's ever had.

Nothing groundbreaking in this show, but it's just a nice, enjoyable time. There's just something about the characters and the gentle humor that make me enjoy watching this over and over (everything from the way Kazu's mom and older sister act when Kazu brings Narue to his house, to the "first date" episode -- where things don't follow the tired "fall apart" route other series will take.

Just a very nice show, well done all around. You should know there are a few panty shots (fan service) but they're brief (no pun intended) and do NOT reflect the tone of the story (it's like they were almost obligatory). A nice, fun little romantic love comedy for everyone, packaged extremely well by CPM. Take a chance on this one, you'll like it.
