Nadesico

    (CPM, 1999-2001)
™ and © Central Park Media Corporation

In 2196 Jupiter invades the Martian colonies of United Earth Federation, and the corporation Nergal responds by dispatching the space battleship Nadesico. En route, Captain Yurika Misumaru and her bickering female crew are attacked by Jupiter’s fleet and forced to the surface of Mars to make repairs from the remains of its famous predecessor The Yamato. With Ruri Hoshino promoted as their new pilot, must the new and improved Nadesico submit to the command of Yurika’s Federation rival Kaguya?

In the third of four installments, suddenly Yurika is kidnapped by a mysterious people from a parallel universe, and her fiancé Akito is injured trying to rescue her. Ruri and the Nadesico crew vow to save their captain, who realizes that her captors are the real threat. Meanwhile the Federation falls victim to a new, powerful weapon wielded by the Jupiterians!

In this spin-off of the famous SF TV series, Asamiya blends both comedy and drama and spins an intricate web of overlapping characters, relationships, and timelines. Fans of manga subplots will appreciate multiple storylines, though it is confusing to tell the players without a scorecard.
