Synopsis

In Vandread, men are from Mars and women are from Venus! Well, not quite. Technology has allowed mankind to colonize the entire Milky Way galaxy, and in one star system, the men and women live on two different planets, Taraak and Mejere. A bitter and very literal gender war rages, to the point where they don't even see each other as the sames species anymore!

Hibiki Tokai, a male third-class laborer from Taraak, ends up stuck on a battleship after a botched attempt at stealing a robot. When female pirates capture the Taraakian Vanguard, things don't look like they could get any worse for Hibiki. Unfortunately, they do; when the male crew of the Vanguard fire on their captured vessel out of desperation, they created a giant wormhole, which sucks the Vanguard and the Mejeran pirate's ships into itself! Now, stuck far away from their home planets, these men and women must learn to work together if they ever wish to make it back home.

This anime is basically a mixed of comedy that tries to use stereotypes about gender for entertainment purposes. However, the show may not be suitable for people sensitive to stereotypes. Dita has some annoying traits, such as her high pitched voice and how she repeatedly calls Hibiki Mr Alien despite his protests. Hibiki’s ridiculous and self centered attitude towards fighting, combined with his insecure need to be considered masculine can also be annoying. The enemies in the show are not visually good looking, and it could be an issue to some people.

The show touches upon LGBT themes, those are dealt with quite well and it ...

tl;dr Was a very nostalgic series for me. Hoewever, now that I've taken the obligatory trip down memory lane, I kinda wish I hadn't. 5/10

Story - 5
Men and women fighting each other was a great concept when I was 8 - we all know the classic chant "BOYS WIN, GIRLS IN THE BIN!". However, 15 years later I sit here and think there's got to be more to do with this premise than what Vandread gave us. After this point was visited and abandoned for all intents and purposes, the real big bad of the show is fairly vague and 100% irredeemably evil. However, it ...

The series just doesn't know what it wants to be. It's all over the place in its efforts to build something resembling a cohesive story, trying its hand at multiple genres and doing none of them particularly well. The summary cut that is probably a better show just because it's more streamlined, particularly since I've heard that it evokes Gurren Lagann, and that's definitely in its favor. There are some elements of this that work, but it never gives them enough attention to make them more than side-notes, particularly the motives of the aliens who we have spent this whole season fighting. Just more faceless, ...
