Summary: Dissapointing
Review: I really REALLY wanted to like this series. The setup, the characters, everything was in place for a good if not at least solid show. The first half a dozen episodes are great, but after that it starts to fall apart.The plot itself swings around erratically between various degrees of parody on other (not just) mecha anime and trying to find some original ground to walk on. And it could have, SHOULD have worked. Unfortunately it seems that either the story was trying too hard to parody other shows, to the exclusion of advancing its own (apparently complex) plot, or that it was pieced together as the series progressed. This results in a complete lack of any sort of plot resolution and quite a few filler episodes. However, in truth these are probably better and more enjoyable than the majority of the 'plot' episodes. After watching the whole of Martian Sucessor Nadesico, I was left with an acute feeling of unfulfillment. There was either too much stuff that didn't get trimmed away, or too little fleshed out in the (again, apparently complex) plot. As for answers in the "inevitable sequel," I don't know anything about the movie so it has no bearing on how I feel about the show.

Summary: not for anime newbies
Review: If Cowboy Bebop is an easy way to get you into the anime groove, then "Martian Successor Nadesico" (pronounced like "Nabisco") is its complete opposite. Nadesico is a satire whose jokes are all inside. Watching this series without having a good anime foundation and a love for its goofy humor is like watching "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" without ever having seen a Jay and Silent Bob film. Nadesico is anime as contradiction. It takes brutal stabs at every anime stereotype. You have never heard girls in love whine as much as these. No other mecha pilot has ever not wanted to pilot a mecha this much. Anime plots don't get more convoluted than this one. Characters have never had bigger eyes or goofier outfits (or perkier body parts) or cheesier lines. Rarely, however, do characters have this much heart. I didn't realize how much I liked these characters until one unexpectedly died. Nadesico manages to drive the anime standard to its most absurd limits and, at its center, remains grounded enough to keep interest high. It draws you in with laughter and keeps you there.

Summary: Welcome Aboard the Ship of Fools!
Review: If you loved the Macross series (or any mecha related anime) then I think you should do yourself a huge favor and watch Nadesico. Nadesico takes all the elements that made animes like that great... and makes a complete mockery of them. Join Akito, Yurika, Ruri and all the others aboard Nergal's ship the ND-001: Nedesico! Naturally, it's a story about a war between the Earth and invadors from beyond Mars but beneath all that it's a story about the meaning of friendship, being human, and why people who hate anime are always up to no good. Oh yeah, there's a very Tenchi-esque love polygon too... Yes, for all you hopeless romantics there is a love story (even though it starts out as a very ridiculous one-sided love story) between Akito and Yurika that eventually involves most of the main female crew of the ship -_-*. It's pretty funny to watch even though some of the male members (not to mention Akito himself) don't find it quite as amusing as we do. If that isn't enough, there is anime within anime as a lot of the plotline centers around Gekiganger, an anime that doesn't really exist but somehow has its own soundtrack. In fact, there is an episode where the cast of Gekiganger is watching Nadesico instead of the other way around! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll find out what becomes of anime fans when you banish them to a planet for a hundred years and leave them to their own devices... I urge you to buy this series!

Summary: Great Story!!
Review: Martian Successor Nadesico is one of my favorite show of all time. After finish the whole series, i have to say there are some good sence with action and great garphic, however, there are some sence that is very bore and means nothing at all. But overall everything is great and i like the character's development and the humor within each characters. But it's too bad to see the ending ended in a unclear way...

Summary: Fun and fantastic anime... One of the best!
Review: Nadesico Is a relitively new anime to me, despite the fact that I bacame hooked on the genere waaaay back in 1963, with the NBC version of Astroboy. Nadesico has to be one of the funniest, yet solid action animes ever made. Chock full of self-parody and gentle humor, It is one of the most beautiful old school animes out there, when animation was still done by hand, and not CGI. I truly like all the main characters, especially the Chibi navigator with the deadpan Spock like attitude. She seems to be the only one with any brains on this laughable ship of fools. :) All and all, a must have for anime collectors.

Summary: Fun
Review: Nadesico it fun, picking on the plot of so many mecha cartoons. The pilot who does not want to be a pilot, the ship that is on its own, questions of which side is right and wrong. Differences, the pilot is not great pilot, in fact he is more lucky then anything else. Both sides are the bad guys, and if you had to choose between your friends and ship or saving countless people you don't know and never having meet your friends, which would you choose? Making Friends or Saving countless strangers, these are just a few of the choices facing the crazy crew of the Nadesico. Don't expect everything to be wrapped up by the end, the war won't end, but there will be a kiss :) Nadesico seems to be about the journey and not so much the desistination. Watch, laugh, and go away happy.

Summary: This was a great laugh!
Review: Nadesico was fun from beginning to end. From the messed up one-sided romance to the Geki-dom of the show, it was a hoot! Ruri was great, I loved the episodes where it shows she has feelings as well, like when it shows her origins, that was a real treat. I agree, not for beginners, you have to have a few anime series under your belt before watching this, but it is worth the watch, I guarantee!

Summary: Overview & My 2 cents
Review: Overview: Aliens known as the Jovians destroyed earth's base on Mars, wiping out its space fleets. Only one ship stands between Earth and total annihilation - Nadesico. A private company, Nergal builts Nadesico, a space battle cruiser to provide "assistance" to earth's military. Free from the military control, they had the free reign to assemble the most unusual crew for the mission. With a ace pilot who is also the cook and the commander of Nadesico, an admirals's daughter, things gets complicated. This new starship is the most formidable fighting vehicle ever built. However, before Nadesco can wrestle with the Jovian invaders, the crew must defeat their fellow humans as they elude the military's attempt to seize the Nadesico. My $0.02: It may seems like a typical space sci-fi action anime but this series provides a lot of hilarious moments with an unusual cast of characters. Also the story thickens as the crew of Nadesico learns more about their alien invaders and how it's ace pilot was mysteriously transported to earth from Mars just before it was obliterated. I enjoyed this anime mainly because it's funny and I like animes like Robotech. You will like it too if you like sci-fi mecha type anime with comedy and some parody.

Summary: All too complete
Review: Providers seem to be getting the hint from the high sales of the Eva and Gasarki boxsets, so they've finally released the complete series of Nadesico. The plot we won't repeat, we're sure any fan site or other review will tell you more than you want to know - our advice is to buy without reading up on it. The case itself is a bit of an enigma. Not just a box containing all of the dvds, this case composed of 3 double & 2 single cases moulded together. This makes a positive difference in terms of weight, space-saving and removes the worry that they'll fall out, but you do lose all that nice case art from the seperate dvds. Without a doubt though, this is great deal taking the price into account. The quality is crisp and infinitely superior to vhs in terms of sound and picture. The one thing that we got annoyed over was Ruri's comment at the end of episode 26 "some of those questions will be answered in the inevitable sequel." But there is no sequel - just the Movie 'Prince of Darkness', which like most anime movies, only provides further questions.
