Those Unforgettable Days - Getting to Know the Nadesico!

Introduction

When talking about mecha anime, it’s hard to overstate its popularity and impact in Japan. The late 70s and early 80s gave birth to several influential mecha series that fundamentally shaped not only the genre but anime as a whole during that time. Even in the West, series like Code Geass, Voltron, and Neon Genesis Evangelion have become cultural mainstays in many anime communities, remaining popular among fan artists, general anime discussions, and cosplayers to this day. While it might be fun to dive into a deep discussion about my opinions on some of these more well-known series, I instead want to shine a light on a slightly more underrated series from the late 90s. Today, I’m going to talk about a particular series I watched a few years ago that I’ve come to deeply appreciate: a quirky, authentic, and unique hidden gem known as Martian Successor Nadesico!

Happy New Year everyone! To start the year, I wanted to do something that’s actually a bit different. When I first created this site, I wanted to write reviews on anime and manga in addition to video games, but since it’s much easier for me to talk about video games, that’s mostly all I’ve stuck to thus far. The one anime review I did, I was so displeased with it, that I took it down and I’m still in the process of rewriting it. Nevertheless, the topic I’m bringing forth today is technically still in the realm of video games, though it’s more in-line video game development. So, if your interests are, in any way, similar to mine, I greatly recommend you check out today’s manga of discussion: 16bit Sensation.
