Martian Successor Nadesico

Is a pretty good show. I had a really fun time talking to a middle-aged man selling his Ruri doujins at comiket about it once. He seemed really shocked a young white guy would know it.

I also know a German guy who has re-watched it like 6+ times and it went from being his favorite show to hating it so it definitely has some issues, I just kinda watched it and had fun, it definitely falls into that mild sometimes serious, sometimes parody show a lot of 90s and early 00s anime did that kind of fails to deliver a clear whole message on both fronts.
