Martian Successor Nadesico: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

'''''Martian Successor Nadesico''''' is a sprawling [[Space Opera]] with a subversive sense of humor about its own genre.

Several centuries in the future, Earth is at war with an alien ~~species—propagandists~~ take advantage of the fact that no one has ever seen one by dubbing them "lizards," and everyone knows that [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]~~—that~~ fights entirely by remote controlled robots and ships sent from Jupiter via immense hyperspatial gateways. The war is going badly for Earth when a defense contractor, the Nergal Corporation, decides it's going to cut out the middleman and field its own space battleship, the ''Nadesico''. Of course, it crews the ship almost entirely with a [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits|classic oddball gang of civilians]]. As captain, Nergal selects [[Genius Ditz]] Yurika Misumaru, daughter of Earth's head admiral.

Yurika's childhood sweetheart, Akito Tenkawa (a burnt-out, traumatized ex-mecha pilot who can't remember how he got to Earth after the fall of the colonies on Mars) joins the crew mainly by accident. Although he wants only to be a chef in the ship's galley, he is repeatedly forced to use his piloting skills in defense of the ''Nadesico''.
