Nurse Angel Ririka SOS is the story of a typical Magical Girl, The girl in this case is a 10 year old 4th grade girl named Moriya Ririka. She is, like most Magical Girls, bright, cheerful, extremely cute, and a bit of a clutz. She has blonde hair that she wears in a ponytail, and brown eyes. Ririka's best friend is a boy named Seiya, who is the son of a doctor and her next-door neighbor. Seiya stands by Ririka's side throughout the series, both in times when he is powerless to help, and also when he is stronger than you'd expect.
In Ririka's case, there is no personal talking pet companion to give her the magical items, or to act as an advisor. Instead, it is the extremely cute and mysterious new boy in school, Kanou-sempai, who gives Ririka her "birthday present", a pink and white nurse's hat. Along with the hat comes the power to turn into the beautiful Nurse Angel, a heroicgirl warrior clad in a pink and white nurse's uniform. As the Nurse Angel, Ririka seems a bit older than her normal self, and her hair grows longer, escaping her ponytail.
The villian or evil world Ririka must fight against is called the 'Dark Joker'. It seems that the evil Dark Joker has already wasted Kanou-sempai's homeworld of Queen Earth. Kanou's real name is Kanon, and he is a messenger from Queen Earth, sent to find the legendary Nurse Angel. Her quest is to find somehing called the Flower of Life that will yield the Green Vaccine that will help save her new friends.
Not only does Ririka use the magical Nurse's hat while in her Nurse Angel form, she also has other weapons with which to fight evil. In Nurse Angel form, Ririka has the following attacks:
Angel view upSparkle medication: I have only actually heard her say this a couple of times. I usually see her use this attack without shouting out the name of it first. Angel shine scroll: I am not exactly sure what this is. It isn't really an attack, it looks to me more like a pre-attack power-up. Angel ring force shieldAngel beam: kinda like a laser.
Angel aid bomb beam: This is her official EEG. She also has the tendency to pull new attacks out of nowhere when confronted by a particularily strong villian. It seem to me like she just 'knows' new attacks all the time! She has more than the ones listed above.
 Nurse Angel Ririka CDs As far as I know, there are two Ririka soundtrack CDs. They are Nurse Angel Ririka: Heart Aid 1st and Nurse Angel Ririka: Heart Aid 2nd. The first CD has the first OP song on it. It sounds just slightly different from how it sounds in the actual anime (besides the fact that it is the extended version). The 1st CD also has the sad ballad sung by Ririka, as well as an extended version of the first ED song. Very bouncy. An assortment of short BGM pieces are also on this CD. They are gentle and beautiful. Ririka's transformation music and the eyecatch BGM is here also. The 2nd CD has the first Ririka ED song on it (a slightly different version than on the 1st CD) as well as the cool second OP song and the TV-length and extended versions of the second ED song. Fun! Also on this is a LOT of BGM (there are 26 tracks on this CD). Many tracks are collections of very short music themes. Very pretty. I recommend both CDs =)

Nurse Angel Ririka appears at first to be a pretty typical Magical Girl show, but quickly becomes extremely interesting and intense. There is plenty of action and excitement in this series to satisfy anyone! :)
