Often considered a sub - par anime... Vandread is one of the lesser known Animes in todays world.. But don't let that fool ya, its a great show. Rarely can a show mix animation and 3D sequences successfully, and... unfortunately, Vandread is no exception to that rule. The 3D is wonderful, but doesn't work with the show all that great. Passable at best. But the show itself is amazing, and probably the most ORIGINAL anime, no, show in general, since... since... I don't know when. It tells the tale of a futuristic world in which Man and Woman fight one another. The men live completely separate from the woman, born as test tube babies, and the woman live completely apart from the men, born through gene splicing. The only time they meet is in Battle, which takes place in combat among giant Space Machines called Vanguards and Dreads. Only when one man rescues a group of women can the two learn to work together, combining their powers to form a "Vandread." Its a great show, albeit filled with sexual humor and the aforementioned 3D sequences. Its still aired on The Block (StarsWAM) from time to time, so if you see it on, give it a shot!
