About
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.

Season 1
To Go Like a Man
It's the late 22nd century, and the Jovian lizards are attacking Earth. Nergal Heavy Industries decides to build its own battleship, the Nadesico. Captained by the ditsy yet tactically brilliant Yurika Misumaru, and crewed by an bunch of misfits, how will the Nadesico fare in its first battle against the Jovians?
Leave the Blue Earth to Me
Not liking the idea of a powerful battleship in the hands of civilians, the United Earth military sends Admiral Misumaru's fleet to take control of the Nadesico. Will Yurika be able to protect her ship from her own father? And will Akito ever find out the truth about his parents' deaths?
A Goodbye That Came Too Soon
The Nadesico's next destination is Mars, but in order to get there, it has to pass through the Earth's various lines of defense, including the Big Barrier. Can the Nadesico convince the United Earth forces to take down the barrier, or will they just have to defy Earth and punch their way through?
Charmed by Aqua Space
The Nadesico heads out to the L2 colony to pick up some new Aestivalis pilots, but end up on a rescue and retrieval mission of a more urgent nature after the colony is destroyed in a surprise attack.
Ruri's Navigation Logs
On the long and boring trip to Mars, Mr Prospector insists that Yurika take the time to perform funerals for all the crewmembers and civilians that have died so far, a never-ending task that leaves her no time to see Akito.
Sort of Like a Fateful Decision
Having made it to Mars, the Nadesico fends off an attack and locates an underground colony of survivors. But rather than being grateful to be rescued, the survivors have no intention of leaving their home, because they believe the Nadesico will be desroyed before it gets back to Earth! Can Yurika prove that the Nadesico is up to the task, or is the colonists' dire prediction all too accurate?
The Song That You'll One Day Sing
Whilst Yurika and Inez put together a ""Get to Know the Nadesico"" broadcast to explain the Nadesico's recent adventures on Mars, the crew's thoughts turn towards finding a way to repair their ship enough to leave Mars and head home. Meanwhile, Akito has issues of his own to work through when he learns that it was Admiral Fukube's fault the Jovian chulip destroyed his home on Mars.
The Lukewarm "Cold Equation"
The Nadesico returns to Earth via the tulip on Mars, only to find that 8 months have passed while they were inside the chulip, and that Nergal has built a second battleship. Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Akito discovers that his paralysing fear has returned, making him a vulnerable target for the Jovians...
