Synopsis
After spending so long apart on entirely separate planets, men and women genuinely don't consider each other the same species anymore. That's the world Hibiki Tokai is born into, a low-ranking grunt on the all-male planet Taraak who decides to steal a mech just to prove a point. It goes badly. He ends up captured by female pirates, the two ships fuse into one chaotic vessel called the Nirvana, and now a handful of men and women who've never shared a room have to figure out how to operate a spaceship together while something dangerous hunts them across the galaxy. The male mechs and female fighter craft can merge into hybrid machines called Vandreads, which means cooperation isn't optional; it's survival. Gonzo blends 2D characters with early 3D mech animation that holds up better than you'd expect for 2000, and the gender-war premise gives the show a comedic tension that runs through all 13 episodes without getting exhausting. It's not deep philosophy, but it's a genuinely fun setup that the show commits to. If you liked the found-family chaos of Tenchi Muyo or the scrappy crew energy of Outlaw Star, Vandread scratches a similar itch. Fans of Martian Successor Nadesico who want something lighter on the meta-humor and heavier on the mech action will probably enjoy this too. A solid, unpretentious space adventure from the early 2000s that doesn't overstay its welcome.

Overall, it is a good anime but not that great. It's just a let down it drifts out of the main story line, i think it is a good story if the writers focused on the men vs women part.
2nd to the last episode, everything is getting pretty intense.. Action sequences are awesome, i can't wait for the last episode..
Things got all crazy, an interesting episode. I feel the struggle of the MC with the sudden turn of events. A very good episode all in all..
The yuletide spirit is alive in space, warm gestures and merry moments to capture. A good break from all the fighting. A good episode.
This episode is far way out of its original plot. Lame story, and lots of dull moments.
The episode feels like a deviation from the main story. It gives like a filler vibe, personally i don't feel this episode but it's not that bad.
A cute episode about young and innocent love, with both characters having trouble to express their feelings.
Este capítulo nos enteramos quiénes son los cosechadores y y que planes tienen ademas de comenzar la batalla por la sobrevivencia
Este capítulo nos da más datos sobre la cosecha =O además de aparecer nuevos personajes
A little bit of flashback here to understand more of the character. The action scene though its just brief still provided a good fight.
El clásico capítulo de Navidad, jajaja, vemos a todos esforzándose por hacer algún regalo para los demás.
This one is a bit off, what happened to the male race vs female race? The story feels like it dropped, but its a fun show..
En este capítulo los vemos aterrizar en un nuevo planeta y enfrentarse a cuestiones eclesiásticas. Teniendo en cuenta que es una serie de los 90 y la calidad era la mejor en su época, no calificaré eso.
A pretty exciting episode with new feature.. This anime never fails to put a smile in my face.. Its not that funny, yet its fun to watch.
En este capítulo aparece un nuevo hombre dispuesto a generar controversia en la nave Teniendo en cuenta que es una serie de los 90 y la calidad era la mejor en su época, no calificaré eso.
Este capítulo profundiza sobre la relación entre Dita y Hibiki Teniendo en cuenta que es una serie de los 90 y la calidad era la mejor en su época, no calificaré eso.
En este capítulo conocemos la historia de Meia. Es un poco más serio que los demás, que son más de comedia. Teniendo en cuenta que es una serie de los 90 y la calidad era la mejor en su época, no calificaré eso.
New episode.. New adventure.. New development.. Im starting to really enjoy this anime, though there things still dont get.. But it's all fun..
En este capítulo vemos un poco de los problemas de algunos personajes y nuevamente disputas entre "hombres vs mujeres" Teniendo en cuenta que es una serie de los 90 y la calidad era la mejor en su época, no calificaré eso.
Empiezan a entenderse un poco después de varios problemas, y podemos ver las distintas tareas de la nave =O
