Synopsis

Two years have passed since the end of the "Martian Successor Nadesico." Akito and Yurika have disappeared. The Jovians and the Earthlings have joined forces and Ruri is now captain of Nadesico B. As the popularity of Boson Jumping grows, a vast transportation network has been developed. Dubbed the Hisago Plan, this network of Chulip portals holds the answers to the mysteries behind Bose particles and their power. If those secrets should fall into the wrong hands, it could mean big trouble. And big trouble there is. A Martian splinter group has launched an offensive, leaving the United Forces befuddled and desperate. So much so, in fact, that the former crew of the Nadesico is called back to active duty for a special unsanctioned mission-to save us all. Does this menagerie of misfits have what it takes? Who will win the race for the Boson technology? And what the heck happened to Akito and Yurika?

Honestly this movie was pretty badly done could of been much better.Overall it was good but the story was too flat. It basically was revolution we found akito and back o the usual gimmicks.The art and everything was good for a 1990's anime.The characters well same off as the tv series nothing new.For the people who liked the tv series i recommend u watch the movie at your own risk it will leave u just like it left u at the end of the show clueless and wanting more

(While I don't think there are any true spoilers here for Martian Successor Nadesico: The Prince of Darkness if you've seen all of the requisite prequels, there are heavy spoilers for the Sega Saturn game Martian Successor Nadesico: The Blank of 3 Years and one minor spoiler for extra context for the Sega Dreamcast game Martian Successor Nadesico: The Mission.)

The Nadesico film requires a bit of context to appreciate, and this is one of those instances where even the initial theater-going Japanese audience of the time would have been bewildered and in the dark, not just an outside audience getting only select titles localized, as ...

I personally believe that the TV series "Nadesico" was a parody of most giant-robot anime of its time. I liked the comedy that came with that, as well as subverting your expectations for what a normal giant-robot anime could be, but ultimately it seemed to include all the trappings and faults of the series it tried to parody.

What about the movie, especially as a conclusion to the rushed-ending of the TV series? Unfortunately it not only doesn't fair any better, it's also much worse.

I have a specific disgust for most TV-sequel anime-movies.

They often open by introducing a new conflict. This conflict requires that ...
