Summary: Anime entertainment, no strings attatched.
Review: We've had epics like Grave of the Fireflies and Wings of Honneamise. And we've had oddballs like FLCL and Utena. But Nadesico just feels so familiar; a fan-favorite with many, many winning formulas. The plot is basic, but it never fails to keep your interest, and it keeps on flowing until the end. Carrying the seemingly simplistic story along is the characters. It's one of the most solid, diverse and fun casts shown on screen. Each crewmember has a distinct personality, and the chemistry between them is simply delightful. They grow on you so much that even after the strangely open-ended conclusion at Episode 26, you still have a fuzzy feeling inside. On the video and animation quality, the show holds up quite well. Frame-rates show some slow-down during battles, but that's not attributed to the DVDs, and it's not jarring either. The animation is in every sense average, and it keeps it's steady plod to the end. Transfer is clear, but not pristine, and the last DVD, Endgame, has unusually warm coloring; whether it came from the source or the transfer, I don't know. It's not mind-blowingly epic, or deeply philosophical (even though it does have it's share of dramatic sequences), but it's why (most of) you started watching anime in the first place. So for any fans out there, it's one of the series where you just pop in DVD after DVD and hum the theme song as it plays.

Summary: To be Honest...
Review: Well, I bought this in Good faith that it would be another "Starblazers", or "Robotech"-ish show, well, I had to get used to the "sillyness" of the show, but in reality I actually Laughed at an Anime???? yup! the show is funny, and basically parodies other animes! thats the part MOST people fail to realize, it pokes fun at "anime fans" and "anime" in general in a lighthearted way, and it Does have some cool mech fights! Its not "Robotech" or "Starblazers" but a Whole new Anime to add to your collection if you like the above mentioned shows, but like a little silly humor, think Pokemon type animation/characters but flying in a huge (sdf1) battleship, and piloting huge mechs! its silly, its fun, and pokes Greatly at Anime and its fans in a lighthearted way! this show is a Keeper! and for the price it Can't be Beat!... If youre up for a good mech series with tongue in cheek humor ,you'll need this!
