I'm currently watching Martian Succesor Nadesico. It's rather good and funny. :D

Nadesico is absolutely fantastic (and scores the double bonus of having Spike Spencer dub a character which often parodies Shinji Ikari... marvellous!). It gets a little deep towards the end, but in a good way.

Just avoid the movie like the plaugue. ¬_¬

I adore Nadesico for all sorts of reasons, principally because it was a gateway for me back into anime, five or so years ago when it aired on the Sci-Fi Channel (UK). It's as enjoyable now that I'm an anime afficionado who recognizes the spoofs and parodies as it was when I knew relatively little... a high recommendation in my view. And unusually for a smirkily postmodern mecha show, it has moments of genuine drama, pathos and excitement alongside the hyper-referential comedy. For a newcomer to the medium, I'd put it ahead of Evangelion every time.

It also has the best ever episode titles. How could you refuse to watch a show with such titles as "Sort of Like A Fateful Decision", "The Dangers of Femininity", "Finding Yourself in a Routine Plot" or "Let's Go With Hot-Blooded Anime!" ?

And Ryoko, Hikaru and Izumi are the best trio of female mecha pilots ever.

Absolutely -- but let us not forget the awesome machismo that was GAI DAIGOJI! After King Totoro he's probably my favourite anime character of all time... a anime character who thinks he's, uh, *another* anime character from the anime within the anime (gah, my head hurts!).

"AARRRGGGHHHHHH!! CROOOOSSSS CRAAAASSSSH!!!!"

:D :D :D

I'd put it ahead for anyone. When the Sci-Fi Channel was showing both I watched Evangelion because everyone said it was superb and classic and I had to watch it (and after seeing the final episode I hunted them all down and killed them slowly) but I watched Nadesico because I loved it and it made me laugh like a drain.
