Night Shift Nurses is a 2001 Hentai anime by Studio AT-2.

The series centers on the... less-than-ethical gynaecologist Dr. Ryuji Hirasaka getting employed at the prestigious St. Juliana Hospital and preceding to subjugate the eponymous Night Nurses into being his sex slaves.

He has been hired by C.O. Narumi by helping her in setting up the hospital's new ward. In the surface, said ward is supposedly only for medical use, for wealthy or "socially powerful (Yakuza, politicians) male patients. In reality, it is a place for nurses chosen by Narumi to treat those patients sexually. Ryuji's role is to train the nurses into becoming the perfect sex slaves Narumi wants to offer.

Tropes used in Night Shift Nurses (anime) include:
  • Adaptation Expansion: The threesome scenes. Hirasaka's training in the game is entirely individual.
  • Adaptational Villainy: The visual novel Hirasaka was cruel and manipulative but killing unborn babies was not something he was willing to do, and he looked forward to having one with Ren in her ending. There are also other several small moments where he hurts the nurses physically and mocks them that were not in the visual novel, and his envy of Naoya is basically non-existent on the VN.
  • Bait and Switch: For half of the series, it seems like Narumi killed Hirasaka. It was Ren, after he seemed to have been saved from the brink of death.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Narumi's flashback in episode 9 shows Hirasaka spoke the opposite of what he practices: he affirms he respects women immensely for their role in human reproduction.
  • Bittersweet Ending: The nurses are free from Hirasaka, and Ren's baby will likely grow up safely. However, she has been proven to be a murderer and will likely never leave prison and maybe receive a death sentence.
  • Death by Sex: Hirasaka is killed by Ren after having sex with her on his recovery bed.
  • Foregone Conclusion: Subverted. The series literally opens with Hirasaka's blood filling the screen and at the end of the opening Narumi cuts her own neck before jumping from the edge of the building. What kills him is Nanase slashing him after he is healed by the other nurses, which is only shown by episode 5.
  • Gender Flip: Hikaru's brother Satoru is replaced by a girl called Ai.
  • Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Ren untimely kills Hirasaka because she believed sooner or later, he would make her have one or do an abortion to her baby by himself.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Hirasaka keeps thinking Ren is in love with Naoya even long after she stops dating him. Of course, this has some justification considering he is only in a relationship with her by blackmailing and torture.
  • Hypocrite: Despite specifically praising women for their role in reproduction, Hirasaka wants Ren to have an abortion when she actually reproduces.
  • Lolicon: Reimi accuses Hirasaka of this for training Hikaru, which is younger than most nurses and acts childish.
  • Mama Bear: Ren tries to protect her child even if she has to commit murder.
  • Murder Is the Best Solution: Ren could leave the hospital, seek police protection, denounce her rape to get Hirasaka arrested, but the best option she comes with after Hirasaka survives Narumi's murder attempt is killing him out in the open.
  • Squick: In-Universe. A police clerk has a breakdown and refuses to write more as Hikaru describes the scatological sexual acts she committed with Hirasaka on a train.
  • Stockholm Syndrome: The nurses keep insisting they were not raped to the cops even after Hirasaka is dead, much to their annoyance.
  • Villain Protagonist: Hirasaka is a scummy rapist and the character with by far the most focus, but unlike the visual novel his point-of-view is actually the least we see, since most of the story comes out of every mouth but his.
