Micro-post #27: "Martian Successor Nadesico," a charming 90s mecha anime

Found out recently that Nozomi Entertainment (the successor to the anime retailer known to 1990s anime fans as Right Stuf) has been reposting a good chunk of their back catalog for free on YouTube. One of the shows they have now is all 26 episodes of the very mid-90s giant robot dramedy series called Martian Successor Nadesico. Mileage may vary - it has a lot of that old anime humor of "yelling + falling over = funny" and gets pretty doofy - but whenever I've come across it, I always thought it was entertaining. Since Nozomi prohibited playback outside of YouTube, I'll have to provide a link instead of a video playlist for the whole series if you're interested in checking it out:

I've also included a video from Anime News Network that reviews it from a more recent standpoint, to give a taste of expectations:
