Summary: "This isn¿t the Nadesico that I had grown to love..."
Review: Martian Successor Nadesico: The Prince of Darkness is not a bad anime movie per say, but I was expecting much, much more. This could have made a good series, but as a movie it feels rushed and unfinished. While some of the humour has been retained, overall the movie is much darker, lacking the lightheartedness, the romance, and the magic of the original series. Some fans might rejoice at the sight of many of the familiar faces returning, but most will be disappointed by the fact that most of the characters have little to do with the plot, and the fact that some of the characters have been changed beyond recognition.There is no character development, no background info given on the characters (new or old), nor were we told what had happened since the series. Newcomers will not be given a chance to fall in love with the characters, while returning fans (and newcomers too I guess) will be left disappointed and confused by the story. Like I said it's not a bad movie per say, but it certainly isn't the Nadesico that I had grown to love.

Summary: End of Nadesico
Review: This DVD movie is kinda like an end of the whole series. So if you want to fully understand the movie, you have to watch the whole series first. Even though I don't really like the end, but I think there is a specially meanning of it. I highly recommend it to all the Nadesico fans!

Summary: beautiful visuals, disjointed story
Review: this is a gorgeous movie to watch. it's just about the right length, has excellent audio and graphical productions, solid voice acting, a nice mix of CGI and traditional animation and excellent mecha designs, the best I've ever seen.
The downside is the storyline. even if you've watched the first series, the motivations of the characters seem rushed and confused. The random addition of characters from the first series gives the movie that disjointed feel, so you never get the sense of watching a cohorent story. It's like the producers did the plot last. I would recommend this if and only if you want to SEE a high end anime movie and don't care much for anything like plot, or storyline or character development

Summary: An Unfortunate Ending
Review: This movie is interesting, and it reunites us with the characters we came to love from Martian Succesor Nadesico. Unfortunately, while the movie has some intrigue and has visual appeal, it lacks the warm humor that made Nadesico the hit that it was. While there are some light-hearted moments, they seem to have been added almost as afterthoughts. This movie is decidedly darker than the original series, and some of the characters from the original show suffer quite a bit in this incarnation.
In some ways, it almost appears that we were being prepared for a second series that never materialized.

Summary: A disjointed succession of character cameos
Review: To be quite plain, whether judged as an independent movie or as the capstone of the Nadesico TV series, the Nadesico movie fails. It fails because it is a mismash, hoping to cram in every character from the TV series without giving many of them anything to do--and worse, it feels like 30 minutes of the actual story were cut to cram more cameos in. The story takes place several years after the TV series ends, with Ruri now captain of the Nadesico B. Akito and Yurika, the leads from the series, were lost in a shuttle accident two years before. A new enemy has appeared, trying to wipe out the united Earth and Jovian forces. While it's far from the world's most original story, that's not the problem. The story is disjointed, moving in leaps and bounds. It's as if the story were written via boson jumping (the teleport technology featured in the series and this movie), with people popping up almost randomly here and there to give speeches. Perhaps fittingly, the ending is a nice and tidy deus ex machina, totally unexplained. So why three stars? Despite its many faults, Ruri and Ryoko, the returning characters who get the most screen time, manage to be enjoyable (if you liked them in the series). Since I liked those characters, several of the disjointed snippets were enjoyable, even if they didn't add up to a real movie. Don't get this if you aren't a big Nadesico fan, and even if you are, don't get this expecting anything approaching the enjoyment you got from the series.

Summary: Finally - Xebec's theatrical opus comes to DVD in the US!
Review: When it comes to high end anime, this is one of the best. Originally released in Japan in 1998 after the phenomenal success of the 1996 Martian Successor Nadesico TV show. Based on the continuing events of Kia Asamiya's manga of the same name, "The Prince of Darkness" picks up the story several years after the events in the TV show. The movie is heavily centered around Ruri Hoshino, now the captain of the Nadesico B (and the Nadesico C later on). With revamped and enhanced character designs by Keiji Gotoh, the movie bursts onto the screen with amazing color and sound. Amazingly, even with a far much more serious tale to tell, its still told in the same jovial manner that made TV show so much fun to watch. A must have for any Nadesico fan, and a basic requirement for any anime collection.
