Vandread	comment	An examination of gender politics and cultural divisions played out as a Space Opera Mecha Show. No, really.In the far-flung future, there are a pair of colony worlds: Tarak and Mejale, locked in a constant state of Space Cold War.Tarak is the Orwellian, industrial, militarized planet of men. All food is synthetic, flavorless pills. All public gatherings are related to sports, marching, and being manly. Everyone wears a uniform. Babies are made by merging your genes with those of your buddies in a factory, and they are raised by dedicated orphanages-schools.Mejale is the Awesome, but Impractical planet of women. All things are polished and shiny. All military uniforms are excessively flattering. Appearances are all-important. The citizenry form couples, of the lesbian top/bottom variety, called the "Oma" and "Fama" in the native vernacular (probably derived from homme and femme), and make babies by merging two eggs and implanting them in the Fama. They eat real food and celebrate real holidays, like Christmas.Naturally, the two worlds hate each other.The story follows a young man named Hibiki Tokai, a factory worker from Tarak who wants more than anything to be a mecha pilot. When his attempt to steal a Humongous Mecha get him thrown into the brig of a reconstructed battleship, things seem to be looking down until the ship gets attacked by Space Pirates, and Hibiki, a Bishōnen doctor, a cowardly officer and a malfunctioning robot wind up as prisoners on a ship full of women. Things couldn't possibly get any worse.That's when the pirates find themselves stranded on the far end of the galaxy, with a mysterious alien force out to kill them. But, as a result of some serious Plot-Technology, the pirate vessel merges with the men's starship, and one of the "Vanguard" mecha and three of the pirates' "Dread" fighters are altered. The Vanguard, piloted by Hibiki, can combine with any of the three Dreads into a form with amazing abilities.All of a sudden, Hibiki's the focus of three girls with different personalities who all want to try and "merge" with him. Of course, none of them have any concept of heterosexuality, and Hibiki doesn't even seem to know about any sexuality. They clumsily rediscover their biological imperatives as they fight a mysterious shadow enemy across the universe.Most of the crew fit dual roles for both a madcap romantic comedy and a military story. The Captain is also a wise grandmother, the medical technician's a naughty loli nurse, the local Wrench Wench is a Meganekko and a Gadgeteer Genius, while the communications officer is friendly and pregnant. The first officer's essentially the Harem Nanny, and the quartermaster's the wise Cool Big Sis.Over time, the three men and the enormous gang of women come to an understanding, and they work together to unravel the bigger mysteries of the universe, like the origin of their robotic enemies and the fate of the other human colonies. A very funny and enjoyable dose of Martian Successor Nadesico meets Love Hina meets Star Trek: Voyager.Can be watched legally online here.

Vandread / int_13f7da6	comment	Instant Expert: Characters seem to be able to pilot completely unfamiliar ships and mechs flawlessly despite having no experience in their operation. Subverted (albeit briefly) when Hibiki first pilots his Vanguard. Or when the women first pilot the Vanguards, or when Hibiki uses his Vanguard on a planet's surface (with gravity) for the first time, or when he first combines with Jura, all giving them at least some problems for a few scenes. Subverted with the Tarak as well. They are remarkably bad at handling their brand-new Vanguards. It's not until the Nirvana returns to the planets a year later that they have gained a grip at piloting the things. And they became very adept at it. Given that it is implied that the pilots we initially see are newly graduated cadets, it's likely more we don't see their veterans in action until then.

It is later revealed that they were not willing to lose any natural children (i.e. conceived and delivered the traditional way) of the rest of the original colonists — the vast majority of whom still remain secretly secured in cryo-stasis, guarded over by the man who raised Hibiki — hence, the reason for the genetically-engineered sons and daughters of Megere and Talark respectively, who were secretly considered to be merely Expendable Clones, and thus sacrificeable to the Harvester Fleets of Earth.

It is possible that the main characters, at least, are purely straight and never engaged in Situational Sexuality prior to the show's beginning. Though it can be safely assumed that other female crew members on the ship did engage in the past, it is very possible, even likely, that Dita, Hibiki, Duero, and Bart, at the least, did not.

Vandread / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The pilots use "combining" in ways that make it sound an awful lot like something else men and women do... Vandread Dita in particular has Hibiki seated right at Dita's back, and they pilot the ship with their hands intertwined. Jura does this most frequently with Hibiki in the early episodes. On the subject of 'combining...' take a look at the first episode. The elegant, sleek female ship combining with the large, rather bulky male ship? Doujinshi took this and ran with it. And Hibiki is inexplicably exhausted by the end of each combine battle. Hibiki first (joyfully) recognizes his Mecha "Partner" by the mark he had placed on a certain part. A certain part that juts forward right from the pelvis and seems to be vent.

In all honesty, this probably got dropped on EVERYONE. Except the captain. She knew about it the whole time. Technically, since homosexuality would seem to be the norm back on Tarak (well, put a bunch of guys together on a planet without any women, what do you expect?), this would be an inversion. The Bart/BC relationship seems to be the Vandread equivalent of the typical shoujo plot of a heterosexual guy finding out the guy he's attracted to is actually a girl (cue sighs of relief). Unless you want to apply heteronormativity to people who think they are a One-Gender Race. Wrap your brains around that one.

Besides, it'd be a rather different sort of series if it spent much time on the sexual implications of One Gender Races. However, it's possible that many of characters are fully straight; only a few lesbian relationships are made explicit, and no gay ones.

Vandread / int_437e70f5	comment	What a Piece of Junk: The Nirvana is also loaded with quirks. The crew barely understands what the Paksis actually is, much less what it's actually capable of. Add to that the fact that it was created by fusing a pirate ship full of looted tech, and a 100-year-old colony ship that had been refurbished into a warship. Early episodes were spent just trying to get the darn thing functional, and it's pretty much a hodgepodge of jury-rigs, ad-lib modifications, repurposed modules, state-of-art tech, salvaged tech, and black-boxes. Sections of the ship are so old that the crew can't even use them, and it's not unusual for things to break down or fall apart. Hell, the events of one episode were kicked off when the men's dorms were flooded due to a plumbing problem.

Unless you want to apply heteronormativity to people who think they are a One-Gender Race. Wrap your brains around that one.

She was motivated by the fact her best friend, Dita, had seemingly forgotten her birthday and was ignoring her for Hibiki but both of them were in fact preparing a birthday surprise for her. This petty act causes a schism which ruined the crew's established dynamic and resurfaced past biases they had overcome, later leading to everyone nearly getting killed on multiple occasions and possible unnecessary redshirt casualties amongst the regular Dread pilot crew, until the group resolves its issues. The only comeuppance we see is her seeing her special birthday surprise dish smashed on the ground when the crew try to arrest Hibiki, with a guilty expression when she realizes what she has betrayed many of her friends over nothing. However heroic he may have turned out to be by the end, Rabat never answers for the severe beatdown he gave Hibiki when they first met.

However the series plays around with this in that it makes it really evident that the only serious contender is Dita, due to her curiosity and desire to know more about "Mr. Alien" personally. Meia ultimately ends up being more of a comrade in fighting built on mutual respect, and Jura's interest is born more out of shallow short term experimental interest in the differences between men and women, but ultimately doesn't go anywhere beyond that due to a complete lack of interest and compatibility otherwise. Dita's first real competition, if anything, is Misty Cornwell who appears in Stage 2 as part of a temporary love triangle.

The crew barely understands what the Paksis actually is, much less what it's actually capable of. Add to that the fact that it was created by fusing a pirate ship full of looted tech, and a 100-year-old colony ship that had been refurbished into a warship. Early episodes were spent just trying to get the darn thing functional, and it's pretty much a hodgepodge of jury-rigs, ad-lib modifications, repurposed modules, state-of-art tech, salvaged tech, and black-boxes. Sections of the ship are so old that the crew can't even use them, and it's not unusual for things to break down or fall apart.

Barnette suggests that she use the guns she brought, which uses regular bullets, and are quite effective against those things. At least while they have ammo for them. Tarak in general seems to have retained the use of projectile weapons compared to their female counterparts.

Vandread / int_d32cd9f5	comment	Cast Full of Gay: Crosses over with Everyone Is Bi, as despite originally hailing from one-gender planets, the men and women have little trouble developing romantic feelings for each other. The series comes across more like a subversion or even aversion of this trope more than anything. Despite the fact that Mejare is specifically confirmed to have a culture where female lesbian pairs form family units (though its left up in the air whether or not all women who have children together form such, or some just do it by agreement), almost none of the women on the ship actually forms or is shown to have a romantic relationship with another woman, aside from the existing couple of Barnette and Jura, and potentially Ezra and the woman she had a baby with. There is a blink and you miss it flashback showing that Meia may have pursued relationships with women in the past, or at least been really close to one, but other than that, there is no indication that any of the women in the cast swings that way. Of the other main characters, Magno is a first generation colonist who remembers that men and women used to be together, so she very well might not feel that way at all, while BC is a male spy, whose ultimate sexuality is left up in the air. While Barnette and Jura are undoubtedly a couple, Barnette is willing to help Jura have a child with a man. As for the men of Tarak, Tarak itself knows no love or romance (babies are created in factories and there is no evidence men form family units) due to its militaristic society and nothing is ever indicated how Terak itself specifically feels about homosexuality, other than that its probably tolerated due to no other options. For the male characters, Hibiki is full on attracted to Dita, Bart falls in love with BC and his feelings after finding out BC is a man are left ambiguous, while Duero at the very least expresses keen interest in Parfet and even calls women "wonderful" at one point. Altogether, it is possible that, at least among the main cast, no one is actually bisexual at all, and not everyone actually gives in to Situational Sexuality; some just will do without because they are completely straight. For the story's purposes, almost everyone (besides a few lesbian couples) is treated as straight.

Vandread / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: In many ways, the series has a multitude of characters that are analogous to characters in Martian Successor Nadesico: Hibiki to Akito, Gai and Tsukumo. Hibiki is basically Tsukumo in Akito's shoes; Dita is an even ditzier Yurika; Jura is a less tame expy to Maki Izumi; Meia to Ryoko Subaru and Ruri Hoshino; Barnette to Ryoko; Parfait to Hikaru Minato; Duelo is a gentler Akatsuki; Bart to Jun and Gai; Misty is a straighter lost-and-found space-girl to Yukina; Gascogne to Howmei Also, in many respects, the two series have various themes in common: The protagonists think they are fighting aliens when they fight their common enemy and eventually find that everyone is human. Everyone in both ships knows that the two main characters are meant for each other. Both the Nirvana and the Nadesico are ships that are rogue and are in between wars that they are trying to diminish. The Nirvana's Pragma Paxis is the equivalent of the Nadesico's Omoikane. Only a handful of people in both series are capable of "supernatural" enhancements due to special circumstances: the few surviving Martian humans in Nadesico are capable of teleportation due to terraforming nanomachines present in Mars; Dita, Meia and Jura are capable of combining their Dread fighters with Hibiki's Vanguard due to the meddling of the Pragma Paxis. Everyone is in love with Hibiki and Akito.

Among other things, this episode helps establish her (despite her outward stoicism) as the most traditionally feminine of Hibiki's three female co-pilots, who form a Three Faces of Eve trio with Meia embodying the Wife archetype. Played straight in her initial awkwardness with Kahlua, such as holding her like a football. Meia also possesses many masculine traits.
