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?

Background

The series won the 1998 Animage's Anime Grand Prix Award. It also won the 1999 Seiun Award for Best Dramatic Presentation.

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

Although certainly not nearly as good as the series, the movie truly wasn't too bad. The biggest thing that hurts the movie is that the game "Martian Successor Nadesico: The Blank Three Years" was never released in English. Because of this, a number of important plot points are completely missing in order to understand the movie.

However, even when you know the plot of the game, the movie feels very rushed, and does not have a very satisfying conclusion. This is somewhat addressed with another game, "Martian Successor Nadesico: The Mission." However, this game also leaves us with yet more questions.

I watched this movie against the word of many of my friends who were fellow fans of the series.

Touching on a case by case here:

Story: Completely off from how the original series presented itself. The series ended on a well rounded note, and this movie was created to pretty much throw that to the wind. The mood and tone difference between this movie and the series its supposedly based off of is totally dark dark night and bright day. The movie itself seems to be standalone with the way the plot is built. Its completely against the series writing.

Art: Amazing. The one shining ...
