The Japanese name for this series is Bannou Bunka Nekomusume, which literally translates as Almighty Culture Catgirl. Known in English as Super Catgirl Nuku Nuku, it is a six OAV series about a very cute female android with a cat's brain, of which I've only seen the first three so far. The animation is not breathtaking, but is decent overall, and has enough cute details to keep it interesting. The music is pretty good, and I quite liked the OP, though I found the ED unremarkable.

Nuku Nuku was created by Takada Yuuzou, and the character designs and animation direction was done by Moriyama Yuji. It has now been completely released by A.D. Vision on three tapes. As soon there is a release on LD, they shall be mine!

Anime Pocket Guide Description: A scientist, his son, and an incomplete robot are sneaking away. Along the way, the son gets out to satisfy an urge of nature, and comes back with a cat that found him. At this point, gunfire erupts around them, and they try to get away. They succeed, but the cat had been killed by a stray shot. Sometime later, the son is going to school with his "big sister" named Nuku-Nuku. Yes, this is the robot (who now looks like a cute girl) with the brain of that cat. Of course, things don't stay peaceful for long; the boy's mother wants him back! A fast-paced action comedy.
