5.0 out of 5 stars Whoa....coolness!, March 25, 2004

I love this series! The art is beautiful, the space battles are done in awesome computer animation, and the plot, while not original, is an excellent twist on an old topic. The characters are so cool, and one of them just got MUCH cooler!

Buzam Calessa, called BC, is the second in command on the ship. She is a no-nonsense woman who takes her job very seriously. It's obvious that she has not gotten the chance to cut loose much, as evidenced by the Christmas party and a few other instances. But we have never gotten the chance to see her in any other position but directing the others. That changes in this volume. We get to see BC using her favorite weapon--a BULLWHIP. And let me tell you, she kicks major ass! ^_~

I love watching this volume just to see BC using that whip against Liz's weapons! Go BC!

5.0 out of 5 stars Vandread Second Stage picks up from the first series, August 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Vandread - Second Stage - Survival (Vol. 1) - With Series Box (DVD)

Is it true, can Men and Women really get along?

This series picks right up from the previous one. About half home, the Nirvana pick up a new girl, Misty enters in and immeditatly falls for Hibiki. Now Hibiki not only has Dita but Misty fighting for his affection. And a new crew member is born getting even Meia to show her soft side.

New weapons, vandread upgrades along with plenty of character backgrounds being revealed makes the final episode worth watching. You must pick up this series if you have not yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good anime!, August 5, 2002

This is a very good anime. I have watched all the episodes in Japanese with English subs and I liked them a lot. At first the story is a little slow, something happens on the ship and then there is a little story, then some bad guys come and they have to fight. Almost all the episodes up to 8 are like this. After 8 it becomes more exciting and there is better action.

One of the reasons I like this series is because it always has something funny in it that will make you laugh. Anyone who thinks that this series is just another Gundam Wing is wrong. This anime is much better than Gundam Wing. It does have robots fighting is space, but this anime has a much better story and all the characters don't act so strange.

The only thing I did not like about this anime is that it is only 13 episodes long. I really hope that they make a third stage.
