Following their DVD Complete Collection release of the series back in 2012, North American anime publisher Nozomi Entertainment have announced their plans to offer a Blu-ray collection of Martian Successor Nadesico sometime in 2017.
This science-fiction comedy series, first aired in 1996, was directed by Tatsuo Sato (Bodacious Space Pirates, Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars, Stellvia), with character designs by Keiji Gotoh (Sengoku Collection, Uta~Kata) and animation production by XEBEC (The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye, Fafner, Lagrange – The Flower of Rin-ne).
This Blu-ray collection will be considered a complete set. It contains the entire 26-episode TV series, in addition to the Nadesico Prince of Darkness film. Don’t need to worry about dubbing either, as it will contain both Japanese and English dubbing.
About Martian Successor Nadesico
The Earth, its moon and its Martian colonies are under alien attack, but the war against the “Jovian lizards” has, so far, been nothing short of a series of disasters.
Disgusted by the incompetence of Earth’s military, the independent arms manufacturer Nergal builds its own space battleship and plans to launch a desperate offensive to save humanity. But due to a shortage of trained soldiers, they’ve assembled the most unorthodox crew to ever launch into orbit! With a pacifist cook-turned-unwilling mecha pilot and a ditsy admiral’s daughter in command, can this unprecedented gathering of geeks, misfits and anime fans prevail against the Jovian menace?
