Is Martian Successor Nadesico any good?

I've seen clips, mostly from the video set to the Futurama extended theme and from a video that compared its intro to that of Evangelion. It looks interesting, especially that green-eyed girl who seems to be some kind of replacement for Rei Ayanami. Should I check it out?

I've been watching it. It's pretty good.

Well, I find it pretty good.

It is very addictive. I watched the entire series twice in a role. and the girl's name is Ruri. The only thing I think is kinda annoying about the dub is they used Shinj's voice although in Nadesico they allow the voice actor to do more comedic lines. I highly recommend it to anyone.

I want to get it myself when I get money. I've heard it's really funny, and it sounds good from the description on the back of the box too.

it's pretty fun series! Not the best, far from the worst, just all around a good one to own. But don't take my word for it. Rent an episode or 4 first then decide!

Ah, good. Then the past 2 hours I have spent on Kazaa have not been wasted.

*dowload faster, damn you!*

You can get the entire box set as mentioned in that Best Buy's thread up there.

The only thing you might want to additionally look for is the Gekiganger 3 OVA and The Prince of Darkness Movie that are also technically part of the series.

I definately think that Nadesico is a very innovative anime series. It's probably the only anime series where the main character is both a cook and a pilot. It's also the only anime I know of where they have anime... watching anime. Almost all old-school Giant Robot fans will get a wry grin out of those portions of it. It's also a very wacky series. And in my top 10 anime series list.

I thought Ruri had yellow eyes. (Maybe I'm color blind?

) Ryoko's the one with green hair, don't remember if she had green eyes too. But then again Ryoko's definately nothing like Rei, save maybe the hairstyle.

OMGWTFLOL!

Okay, I'm convinced. I must watch that show. Anime watching anime... that's just... damn...

And her eyes are sort of a puke yellow-green. Hair is light gray. I'm betting she's Ruri. How many characters have close-ups of their eyes blinking during the intro?

Mihoshi loved to watch anime on the Tenchi Muyo OAVs. It was a melodramatic animated soap opera with little bubble people. Very bizarre...
