Vandread is without a doubt my favorite anime series!! There are so many different aspects that make an ordinary anime series into a perfect one and Vandread has them all!!

1.) The story line is remarkable and clear.

Sometimes in anime the story line is not really clear and makes you stop and think about what was meant. I really don't mind that at all. However Vandread is not like that at all, the story line is very easy to follow and very addictive. Everything about who they were fighting; to why the men of Taraak an women Mejale live on seperate planets. This is truly an amazing story of love and courage that you will remember.

2.) GREAT GONZO!!!

Another aspect that can really make a remarkable anime is the style of animation and CG 3D Animation. Let me just say that GONZO is freaking amazing!! In case you were wondering, GONZO is an animation studio that has really made a name for itself for it's style of animation. With series like Full Metal Panic, Hellsing, and Last Exile <-(check this one out, simply astonishing animation and CG!!) just to name a few though they all were done after Vandread, GONZO has proven their uncanny ability to blend together beautifully drawn animation with some pretty amzing CG 3D graphics.

Vandread was true to GONZO's name with the rich and and colorfull animations and 3D graphics. The battle scenes were probably some of the best for the time that this was made, and the MECH designs were also good. The animation in Vandread truly made it mezmorizing to watch.

3.) Memorable Characters...

This was truly the aspect I enjoyed the most about Vandread. I think that Dita Liebely is probably one of the best chararters ever drawn. She's cute, emotional, clumbsy and has a hilarious personality all in one, all you can expect from a female anime character. Her counterpart "Mr. Alien" or Hibiki Tokai your typical male hero that saves just about every day. The whole crew of the Nivana is probably in inlove with him (including Bart!) The rest of the characters in the series are just as memorable as these two are :)

4.) The Ending!!

Wow, the ending of this series was touching. I don't want to say anything to spoil the ending but this is probably one of the best ending to an anime series I have seen!!

If you have not started watching Vandread as of yet and are a fan of Mecha series, consider yourself a slacker!! I can not say enough good thing about this series, it simply amazing.
