Martian Successor Nadesico (1996)

Overview · Where to watch · Cast & crew · Reviews

Only one ship stands between earth and total annihilation! The High Mobile Battleship Nadesico is the most formidable fighting machine ever conceived, but due to a shortage of trained soldiers, the crew is a little unorthodox. The poor Jovians don't stand a chance against the largest contingent of geeks and misfits ever sent into orbit!
