Summary: Male Vs. Female
Review: I picked this up at a store because 1.I travelled all the way, and 2.I'm not leaving without buying SOMETHING.So, this looked cool.So i bought it.The storyline is unique.Its about 2 worlds, separated by gender.The males have the planet Tarak.Females have Mejale. Hibki Tokai, a 3rd class citizen on Tarak, tries to hijack a government fighter to prove to the rest of the factory workers that he keeps his word.He becomes a prisoner on a battleship after getting caught, when the women start attacking.I won't spoil anymore.The graphics are SPECTACULAR. The first time CG and Anime came together and it worked out.Sound is, ok.I havent listened to the english dubbed yet.But it's worth buying.

Summary: The men versus the women
Review: I saw the first episode of this series at the 2002 Anime Midatlantic Conference in Virginia. I thought it was quite funny. I have finally gottne hold of the entire first season and it has gotten funnier, but it also can rip your heart out. This series really gets the audience into the characters and situations that they are in will move you to laughter or tears. In the series, the men have the upper class who are pilots and officers and a lower class who builds the equipment for thier army. You end up following a young boy from the lower group that gets stuck on a war ship and a girl training to be a warrior for the women. The men and women see themselves as aliens, but you will learn that in the past they had lived together. The series follows their journey to stop an alien race from killing off their race and their attempt to try to understand the opposit sex. If you are looking for something with amazing computer animated mecha and that will make you laugh, I think you have found it. Enjoy. Keep the faith, dEx

Summary: Studio Gonzo does it again!
Review: Just as with Gatekeepers and Blue Submarine No. 6, Gonzo has picked another winner of an anime. Gorgeous girls, cute guys, awe-inspiring machinery--and that's just the cast! The storyline is Boy Meets Girl with a definite twist that will be hard for the characters to completely overcome. The English dub is great--as a matter of fact, I PREFER it over the original Japanese. The original version is terrific as well, but there is just something about the English version that does the series justice. There is a good amount of action, but the focus of the story is really on how the characters interact with each other and their situation. Kudos to the makers of Vandread--my new favorite sci-fi series!

Summary: sci fi hip space opera!
Review: my only complaint is that there are too few episodes released at a time. this is a wonderful series with great potential women vs men and yet both are faced with the fact that they need each other to survive! the cute humor and kiddie typepranks all play well - it gives the series a ligh hearted action tone, with interesting sexual tensions n conflicts.

well dont just sit there rentit; then buy it!

God bless

Summary: From the producers of Gatekeepers
Review: Naturally, you wouldn't expect anything bad from Gonzo especially as they are showing Vandread, Second Stage in Japan right now due to popular demand for this series. From the opening theme, you will have an idea of what it looks like -- astonishing mecha-design merging into a more powerful mecha rendered in 3DCG. Action-packed series plus loads of comedic fun.

I've actually written a full preview on this on my website animeokashi.com

Summary: Discovery
Review: This series is hilarious! After being seperated for 3 generations, men and women are coming together again for the first time, which leads to some unintentional humor on thier part(like the second time a Vandread is formed, and the aftermath. I won't spoil it here, but it is too funny.)

The who whole thing is about discovering things about the opposite sex. Lots of cool space battles, lots of humor.(Male Doctor "She has a parasitic organism inside of her." Female navigator "No, I pregnant!")

All in all, a good series.

Summary: Those who will buy this video - you know who you are
Review: Vandread is a fun, unpretentious series that doesn't aim to be sophisticated. The loser hero, Hibiki, is found in many other anime shows, but this guy grows up to be a fighter. I admire this hotheaded fool for trying his best. Unlike in other boy-surrounded-by-girls shows, Hibiki eventually takes control over his predicaments. Some will find some annoying Shinji-like traits in this fellow--this show is another one catered to angry young men. Others will find the heroine, Dita, to be annoying--it depends on how much cuteness and idiocity you can tolerate. The assortment of other female cast members is among the best found in the multiple-girls anime genre.

If only the doctor Duero and the helmsman Bart can pilot Vanguards, things will become much more interesting. As it is, only Hibiki can combine with Dreads.
Though the CG designs, a major selling point of the show, are easily overtaken by those produced by American and Canadian studios, the execution of the space fights are so fast and the camera angles are so perfect that you know this can only be done in 3D. When it comes to moving CG camera angles, Gonzo studios is the best. So, if you're unashamedly male, buy this video. If you're female and really want to understand why men are so stupid, buy this video.
