Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
A variation on the science-nerd-meets-cute-girl theme popular in anime, Don't Leave Me Alone Daisy suffers from a cultural gap. What Japanese audiences accept as a humorously exaggerated depiction of a teenager head over heels in love may strike Americans as sexual harassment, misogyny, and stalking. Computer genius Techno Reijiro has been raised in a fallout shelter by his eccentric scientist-grandfather. He's had no contact with human society, which is fine with him. But when a security camera shows him Hitomi Matsuzawa, it's love at first sight. Techno is so maladroit in his pursuit of Hitomi, he makes Tenchi look suave. He insists on calling her Daisy and tries to impress her with high-tech inventions that function perfectly, but still manage to backfire. He wants to protect her from danger, but all the threats come from the android Noe Anii, who is out to assassinate Techno. Comic supporting characters include bubble-brained teacher Miss Rarako and alienated student X Yamakawa, whom Techno cruelly tricks. Naturally it all ends happily, with Hitomi falling for Techno, despite his romantic ineptitude. Many of Techno's actions--clinging to Hitomi when she tells him to stop, posting documents that he "owns" her in their classroom, tying her up and dragging her home for a tête-à-tête--are more likely to offend U.S. audiences than amuse them. When Hitomi slaps Techno at the end of episode 5 and tells him to keep away from her, American viewers are more likely to sympathize with her than with the bewildered Techno. In Japanese only, with English subtitles. Unrated; despite minimal violence, the (mis)treatment of the heroine and her acquiescence make the set unsuitable for children. --Charles Solomon
Description:
Surrounded only by his inventions, Techno doesn't really interact with other people much. However, one day, a girl attempts to "break into" his fortress. This hapless passerby, a girl named Hitomi, becomes the object of his affection. Techno decides to name her "Daisy," and begins planning to make her his, but can Annie and Yamakawa X protect Hitomi or will the science nerd Techno win Hitomi's heart? Don't leave me Alone Daisy promises outrageous adventures and non-stop laughs. *Based on the Manga/Comic by Noriko Nagano (Character Designer - Ranma 1/2 TV Series) *Premium DVD Collection All 13 Episodes in one 2-Disc Set!!

I have never felt so uncomfortable watching an anime as I did while viewing this title. I love off the wall comedies and bizarre plotlines but this title is simply perverse. Only the morally bankrupt could call this entertainment. If you truly enjoyed this title please seek professional help before you become jailed for stalking, kidnapping, and/or something worse.

A comedy about a a science nerd vs. his newly aquired love interest he affectionatly named Daisy, the main character hasn't even seen the outside of his lab for years, before he accidently sees Daisy on the computer monitor, from there the story unfolds... The series from the very beginning had me and my friends cracking up, I would rate this 6/5 stars if I could. It has some running gags that never grow old, and make you wonder what's going to happen next. My only complaint is it's only 12 episodes ... Read More

I've never had to say this about any anime until this DVD. Don't buy it! The plotline stinks, and is way too dumb for my taste. Just the story of Techno trying to get "Daisy" ( real name, Hitomi) to fall in love with him was enough, but was it really necessary to make Techno some weirdo who had been locked in a bomb shelter his entire life? That part ruined the mood of the entire anime for me. And what was up with the pet missiles? The ending itself was just so anti-climatic and stupid that I felt angry ... Read More

I watched most of this series in one sitting -dealing with older fansubs some time ago. Originally, I thought the same way the other female reviewer felt.However, I decided to give it a chance and watch it -I was happily surprised. It really isnt that bad of a show. Yes, what Techno puts her through is extremely horrible, however as another reviewer pointed out, you have to look at it from his view too. Here is this poor kid who has no idea whatsoever on how to act in society -he only comes out because he ... Read More

This cartoon is not fairly judged, detractors are just too quick to call Techno abusive. If you are this judgmental, you will not enjoy this great cartoon. You must set aside your feelings about Techno's actions and put yourself in his shoes.
Techno is not the womanizer / molester that others make him out to be. He just has -never- had contact with human society. Techno was born in his grandfathers fallout shelter, who subsequently raised him, and told him never to leave. Sequestered in the shelter ... Read More
