One Last Review

With it being the last post and all, trying to finish the story, I would rush the ending because I do that when I write, so instead I will just make a beautiful review of something good. Let's talk about Vandread (WARNING WARNING SPOILERS), the best mecha anime ever created, and let's just say that is the most accurate thing I can call it. Vandread takes place in the future after, a way not really explained, men and women live apart and are at war with one another and a very small population even knows they used to live together. Men are made with a machine in a lab and women have perfected artificial birth, so women are made basically the same as they are made now, just without the men. So in the first episode the men are planning an assault and it's the day they are going to attack with the new Vanguard units of mechas. A boy who works in a factory named Hibiki Tokai sneaks into the speech and listens. So some stuff happens that isn't very important to the plot, and then Hibiki, a doctor named Duelo Mcfile, and a rich-boy who becomes a big part of Nirvana named Bart Garsus get captured by the girls they go to attack on a ship named Nirvana. 

The women on the Nirvana are pirates actually and live off world, and the women have mechas called Dreads. The main female the show focuses on is Dita Liebely who is romantically involved with Hibiki as the show goes on, and refers to him as Mr. Alien. Also by romantically involved I mean it's very widely hinted that they have some sort of thing going on. So aside from characters the plot is about these Harvesters who are aliens that go around and destroy all living things to live on, and a constant struggle between the Harvesters and the crew of the Nirvana. So the show Vandread almost works with Vanguard and Dread, and when Hibiki's ship accidentally fuses with Dita's ship, they become the first shown Vandread. The show has two seasons and a manga after the two called Vandread extra stage. The seasons are referred to as Stages by the way. Anyways I give this show a 124/124 because it is one of the top two animes for me, but don't take my word for it, watch it on Netflix.
