SaitoHajime101's Vandread Tv Review
Rated:
Overall it was a nice 26-episode series, but there are a few things that bug me. First is the fact that they had to name the second half of the series "The Second Stage". When companies do that, it gives the misinterpretation that its a second season that has a time jump. There was no time jump here, it picks up where episode 13 ends. Another issue is that the character development is rather slow. Because of this slow development it makes some of the episodes you watch feel extremely stand alone. I mean the episodes connect to each other, but with slow development in the characters it feels as if you're watching each episode as if it was seperate from the story. Once the characters show signs of change does the series really feel like its one big story.

Ptptn's Vandread Tv Review
Rated:
Vandread has two TV seasons called first stage and second stage, merging flawlessly. It is a space battle romp with some humor and lots of character work. But the main theme is trust. Trust in the other gender, trust in your friends, but even or more important, trust in yourself.
The real story starts with the males in the brig, fearing to be butchered and served as dinner. Through 26 episodes and two seasons, they make their place on board the ship, which is renamed Nirvana, and the females go from gnashing their teeth as they are forced to tolerate the males, to trusting them, and then to depending on them. In the end, the males and females of the crew will walk through fire for each other if necessary.
