A kid with a scalpel made of code enters bodies as digital ghosts to save lives before he's old enough to drive. The Virtual Trilogy's third swing trades robots and cyberspace for something weirder: medical sci-fi where the villain isn't evil, it's disease, and every patient is a puzzle you solve in real time. That 1997 mix of anime and live action footage shouldn't work, but it locks you into a show that treats ten-year-old doctors like they earned the weight they're carrying.

Early in the 22nd century, society has advanced so quickly that children can become real doctors, a role that once took some twenty-five years of work to reach. Nanomachines are now widely used to fight disease. Keita is a Nanosaver, a child doctor who uses a virtual world to enter patients' bodies and treat them through a virtual medical station, or VMS. As more patients come in, various mysteries about them come to light. In the second half, a small Ethanarian alien and a galactic federation enter the story. The adventure series is the third entry in the Virtual Trilogy and mixes animation with live-action footage.
