Same here...them happy endings. I haven't seen this anime, but ending seems quite unique...I guess.

If you don't mind, Lord Katsuhito-garu, can you tell me the gist of the story? I appreciate it.

Then what ever you do, don't watch the Nadesico Moive, 'The Black Prince of Darkness' that was written as a sequel to the two novels that were written after the end of the TV series... (As a result, a lot of plot assumptions are made that are beyond the grasp of a US viewer)

This year, the director of the series wrote in his online blog that Studio XEBEC was at one time seriously considered doing a Nadesico 2 series, but that the series was now impossible to do (with no explanation on what that statement means... My guess is a lack of resources. Recently XEBEC moved the entire production crew for the just finished 'Fafner' series over to assist in the re-animation of 'Negima' for its DVD release in Japan...)

Nadesico is one of those animes I never got to ever finish because the dang library only holds a few random tapes of the series (cheapo I am), and my farthest I went was when they all quit and work different jobs...can anyone tell me how far that was??

While the Nadesico movie does make a lot of asumptions, using a bit of logic you can come to a few conclusions on your own about the missing links of plot that occur through the actual end of Nadesico.

Other option is to get the manga and just read what really happens.

The manga series of Nadesico is no help at all (I know, I have the 1st volume) The anime was not based on the manga. Instead the anime and manga were first released at about the same time, with the manga story quickly diverging from the anime storyline...

Your about 3/4 of the way through the series.... the crew reunite, hijack the Nadesico, rebel agains the VP of the company, and ...

...BOOOOOM!!!

*manic laughter*

(At least that's how I felt watching it.)
<-needs to borrow friends copy again.

But the movie hasn't got a happy ending, encouraging may be. I saw the movie before see the series & didn`t understood anything still now I don't like the final, I don't understand why Yukito was gone & left Yurika.
