Martian Successor Nadesico (Kidou Senkan Nadesico)
Also known as: 機動戦艦ナデシコ
Akito would rather cook than pilot a mecha, yet when his Martian home is destroyed, he mysteriously arrives on Earth and pursues the enigmatic girl Yurika to find answers. Enlisting as chef aboard her private battleship Nadesico, he becomes an essential backup pilot for a crew of handpicked experts disguised as otaku misfits, all determined to reclaim Mars and confront truths far darker than any anime.
