MARTIAN SUCCESSOR NADESICO COMPLETE COLLECTION BLU-RAY

Tatsuo Sato`s Comedy Masterpiece Returns in High Definition! The Earth, its moon and its Martian colonies are under alien attack, but the war against the “Jovian lizards” has, so far, been nothing short of a series of disasters. Disgusted by the incompetence of Earth’s military, the independent arms manufacturer Nergal builds its own space battleship and plans to launch a desperate offensive to save humanity. But due to a shortage of trained soldiers, they’ve assembled the most unorthodox crew to ever launch into orbit! With a pacifist cook-turned-unwilling mecha pilot and a ditsy admiral’s daughter in command, can this unprecedented gathering of geeks, misfits and anime fans prevail against the Jovian menace? MARTIAN SUCCESSOR NADESICO (????????, Kidoo Senkan Nadeshiko, 1996-1997) is directed by Tatsuo Sato (BODACIOUS SPACE PIRATES, SHINGU: SECRET OF THE STELLAR WARS, STELLVIA), with character designs by Keiji Gotoh (SENGOKU COLLECTION, UTA~KATA) and animation by XEBEC (THE THIRD: THE GIRL WITH THE BLUE EYE, FAFNER, LAGRANGE – THE FLOWER OF RIN-NE).
