Martian Successor Nadesico

S01E25: Being Myself, Being Yourself

The ancient ruins on Mars and the control they offer over boson jumping have become the prize that everyone wants to claim- not least Akatsuki and Nergal. As the Jovians gear up for a final offensive, the Nadesico crew find themselves working with sister ship the Kakitsubata to make sure Nergal comes out on top.

Overview

Only one ship stands between earth and total annihilation! The High Mobile Battleship Nadesico is the most formidable fighting machine ever conceived, but due to a shortage of trained soldiers, the crew is a little unorthodox. The poor Jovians don't stand a chance against the largest contingent of geeks and misfits ever sent into orbit!
