Summary: You get to Burning!
Review: A friend and I just finished watching this wonderful series last night, and let me tell you The ending of the series will blow you away.
Well, this is suppossed to be a review so I want give away the ending the people of earth have been fighting The Jovian Lizards of Jupiter for a number of years. the Jovians, like every other bad guy, are much more powerful than the earth's forces. Plus the Jovians have these things called Chulips, Tulips, which they use to jump from one place to another. When we start watching the story we meet Akito Tenkawa who is living on Mars. Life of Mars is rough, but Akito is generally happy, until the Jovians attack and kill off all the settlement, besides Akito who finds himself back on earth, and this is where our story really begins.A wealthy company, Negrel, becomes tired with the way Earth is fighting the Jovians, so they make the ultimate battleship, Nadesico, and higher folks with the right skills to opperate the ship, including Yurika Misumaru who not only knows Akito, but has a huge crush on him as well. At first Nadesico might seem like the run of the mill Space combat show with lots of pretty girls. Akito has the Tenchi syndrome btw, for those of you who do not know what that means it means that for some reason or another many girls seem to be infatuated with him for no reason at all. Nadesico is much more, and although many of the characters are not very well rounded they all have unique personalities and are all very enjoyable to watch. The pilot Izumi is mypersonal favorite. Anyway the show kinda leaves you at a cliff hanger, but don't worry there is a movie soon to be released in translation.

Summary: Not the best ever, but one of the most enjoyable
Review: As far as mecha anime goes, Nadesico is one of the most overlooked series out on the domestic market. Probably because it's one of the more difficult anime on the market to classify. The initial impression is one of a typical mecha show. Reluctant pilot with mysterious powers? Check. Alien invaders? Check. Pretty, but ditzy, main love interest? Check. Several other love interests? Check. Special super powerful new ship? Check. Wacky and strange ship crew? Check. But Nadesico takes all these elements and does more interesting things with them in parody than many shows do with them in deadly seriousness.
The characters mostly seem to be fairly flat and two-dimensional, but as you watch the series you really see that there's more to most of them than is readily apparent. There's generally not much growth, per se, but it's more of a realisation of things that had been there the whole time. The plot also seems straight forward, but there's a unique aspect to it that gets revealed as the series goes on.
Overall, it's hard to beat Nadesico for entertainment value. It's got action, it's really funny, it's got interesting characters, it's got a solid plot, and it's just a fun show to watch.

Summary: Mobile Battleship Nadesico...
Review: Fans of Robotech or even Starblazers might look at this collection and wonder if they should buy it. Do it. But be warned, it is also like Love Hina, Tenchi Muyo and the Excel Saga. Love between characters, war between almost everybody and humor, some of it even picking on anime, makes the 650 minutes worth any price. Plus tons of extras and WAY too many trailers.
The story is simple, at first. The Jovians launch a attack against Mars, destroying mankind's outposts and blasting the United Earth Forces right out of space. Mankind fights to defend the Earth and what they still control of the Earth's Moon, but the Jovians have a huge advantage in military technology.
The Nergal Corporation builts a super weapon in the form of Nadesico, crewed by wackos, misfits, anime fans and everybody who has the skills needed to run the ship. They plan to rerun to Mars, to liberate it.
Then things get complex. The Jovians MAY be on the RIGHT side, the Nergal Corporation is not interested in librating anybody and the Earth government seems to be trying to hide something.
The characters, from the super-intelligent Ruri Hoshino to the brilliant, if somewhat unbalanced, Commander Yurika, all have funny AND serious sides to their nature.
The series asks tons of questions, about right and wrong, love and friendship, peace and war. Even after 26 episodes, not everything is answered, but it does give you a lot to chew on. And laugh about.

Summary: Nadesico and movie?
Review: First of this is a great series and is one of the outstanding anime's of the last few years. However all those un-answered questions need an answer in the form of the 1998 movie:
Martian Successor Nadesico The Prince of Darkness. Its recently (in july 2002) been brought by ADV films.
Great series with more to come hopefully.....

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I bought this series mainly because I was looking for an enjoyable mech series and on the strength of the reviews I've read about it and ended up liking it even more than I thought I would. Nadesico is a series that has several of the elements I enjoy in an Anime, there's action, adventure, sci-fi and even some romance, all the time never taking itself "too" seriously and never above poking a little fun at itself. Without spoiling anything I'll say that I think the way the ending was done fit in perfectly with the rest of the series and I am looking forward to the eventual (hopefull) release of the Nadesico movie. I wish there was a way I could rate this series 4 3/4 stars. To me, 5 stars should be a rating reserved for something close to perfection. Nadesico comes very close.

Summary: Great anime!
Review: I just finished the complete box set ^_^ It was great. It took me till episode five to get into it though, and it left me wanting more. Even though it was complete i always want more than what they give, There is somthing veiwers should know that is not written anywhere i could find. The words D*** H*** and B****** are used often. well not really the last word i listed but the others are very fequent. other than that and a few sex things (nothing bad) it was GREAT.
