DNA²

Junta Momonari is a hapless boy with a real complex about sex-the merest thought of it makes him physically sick. But one day he will become a Mega-Playboy, siring 100 equally fecund children, and agent Karin Aoi is sent back from the future to stop his genes from causing an uncontrollable baby boom. Unluckily for her, she shoots him with the wrong drug and ends up creating the very Mega-Playboy she was sent back to prevent.

Despite the popularity of similar boy-meets-dozen-girls shows like Tenchi Muyo!, this adaptation of Video Girl Ai-creator Masakazu Katsura's 1994 Shonen Jump manga underperformed in its anime incarnation. Even though DNA2 contains all the elements thought to guarantee success, including a geeky-Jekyll-and-macho-Hyde subplot as Junta's playboy persona takes periodic control of his body and libido, the series was taken off the air early and ignominiously forced to finish its run on video. With revisionist hindsight, the video episodes were shuffled among the actual TV episodes and now comprise the second, third, and final chapters in the 15-chapter (5-tape) series available in Japanese stores. It was parodied in the pornographic computer game Timestripper, and is much imitated in anime such as DNA Hunter and Dokuro-chan. N
