An alien armada from Jupiter has amassed enough power to destroy all of Earth’s defenses. Earth’s final hope lies in the Space Battleship Nadesico, a ship created using recently discovered extraterrestrial technology. The Nadesico’s rag-tag crew must overcome their idiosyncrasies and defeat the alien fleet or Earth’s last hope will be lost. (Source: ANN)

Main characters
Yurika Misumaru71 fan favoritesExternal profileShe is the beautiful but ditzy captain of the Nadesico and childhood friend of Akito Tenkawa. She is infatuated with him and gets very jealous when other girls show interest in him, though he considers her crazy; she is also very scatterbrained at times, misinterpreting comments made by others as words of inspiration/devotion, and forgetting or twisting around events from her and Akito's childhood. Nonetheless, she is a very capable captain, and a constant source of cheerfulness and inspiration for the rest of the crew.
Akito Tenkawa49 fan favoritesExternal profileBorn on Mars and orphaned after his parents died in an apparent military coup, his dream to become a cook stemmed from the quality of the raw food available on the planet. Though he has a nanomachine controller enabling him to pilot machinery, he refuses to become a military pilot; his first time in an Aestevalis was an accident, though he quickly showed capable piloting skill; because of the lack of pilots on the ship, he was officially made one for the duration of the tour. A Gekiganger fan as a child, his devotion to the series is rekindled by fellow pilot Gai Daigoji. He is romantically adored by the ship's captain Yurika Misumaru, who was also a childhood friend, but is usually terrified of her over-amorous advances to him.
Megumi Reinard4 fan favoritesExternal profileFormer voice actress and communications officer of the Nadesico, she is a very kind-hearted and devoted person. She was also the first to have Akito return her affections, though he did not feel as strongly for her as she thought, to her great sadness.
