Does this satirical space opera live up to its legacy? Join Ember Reviews as we queue up the classic mecha series Martian Successor Nadesico to see how it uses its own genre’s tropes to create a parodical, yet sincere story.
The constant grind of keeping up with seasonal anime can be a bit overwhelming at times, so we’re just gonna chuck all that in the bin for now and dip into the well of classic anime that I think need some more attention in the modern era, which means today we’ll be taking a look at the parodical, unsettling, and downright weird uncut gem that is Martian Successor Nadesico. Fair warning: I’m gonna spoil quite a bit of this series and the movie, but do know that I give it a very strong recommendation as long as you’re not put off by quirky anime writing.
Premiering way back in late…
