Then you haven't seen the whole story. Each guy is important. (Yes even Bart). And while Hibiki is the major star of the show, each guy has his little spotlight and is shown how important he is to the team. (Though Bart's story is very sad).

Well of course. Rule of thumb: whenever
Spoiler for Do not click if you haven't watched it:
It becomes best ep in the whole anime. Everyone is likable in this anime, that's why I rate it quite high in my list. They got proper development, and thing got wrapped up nicely. Still wait for a day where this one appear in SRW, although the setup is kinda hard.

Yea Vandread is a good mecha anime, at the peak of Gonzo's prime.
Hibiki is really an amazing super robot pilot, the cast was colourful and had great development. The mecha were quite interesting and the 3D fights are pretty good for its time. Also I used to post in another forum on how I'd expect Vandread would be in SRW, using Alpha 3's squad system and similar stats. It has spoilers, only for those who finished watching both seasons: Spoiler for Vandread SRW:

The only Gonzo series that I really remember is Transformers: Galaxy Force, and I got into that more because of my long-standing Transfandom than anything.
How is the Japanese voice cast for the show? As I said, the eps on the Funimation site only had the dubs...

The Japanese cast is great, http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...ime.php?id=269
They're a pretty experienced cast and gave the characters pretty good interactions. It was a time when moe wasn't very well developed concept in the west, so there were people who don't like Dita's moe pitch. Dita was my favourite girl though. My favourite is Gascogne and her girls going 'Smile smile~!' lol

Talking about Gascogne, well...
Spoiler for Again, do not click if you haven't watched it yet, and there is no second warning this time:
One thing about Vandread, is that I can't remember character names, even my favorite one (the silver hair girl with bird like fusion), except for Hibiki, Bart and Dita.

And this show is special to me. It's the show that brought me into anime in the first place. Its ending was in a word, perfect. |

The ending was one of the better mecha endings as well.

I remember a friend gaping at the scene where Hibiki walks into Jura's boobs, and that was a time when ecchi isn't all that well-known too. |

I was watching subs some time before it aired on TVMobile and always had been watching anime on TV so Vandread naturally came into my attention and I just watched it. Vandread is a good first mecha anime to have. At least moderately better than Gundam Wing, or having a depression from Evangelion as a first mecha anime lol EDIT: lol at the ecchi.

() *ehem* Anyways, Vandread may not have been my first anime, but it was the first I've seen with completely 3D CG mecha action, and I loved every minute of it.

Yeah on hindsight I love my laziness for not being able to get up early to catch Gundam Wing even though I thought it looked awesome. :3 @Lowe: Yeah. That was one of my first impressions. IT WAS GLORIOUSLY SHINY! |

For nice mecha 3D CG, Macross is the best for recent years. Aquarion had good 3D animation though it looks awkward at times.
I cannot remember what was my first harem or ecchi anime, could be Vandread. Super Vandread was super sleek, super cool, it reminds me of Cybuster and the Lord of Elementals.
