he film version of "Martian Successor Nadesico - The
prince of darkness" is a SF animation masterpiece that
followed the television version and the director Tatsuo
Sato really put his body and soul into this work. The
information is highly concentrated and animations by
XEBEC are of extremely high quality and the mechanical
portion of it is packed with action and is simply excellent.
It won awards in four categories including the Grand
Prize at the 21st Animation Grand Prix and another
award in the 38th Japan Science Fiction Convention,
Seiun (Nebula) Award medium Category.
In the year 2201, the Network Hisago Plan, a dream plan to connect
different parts of the universe with "boson jump" is being realized. But there were several incidents
of terminal colonies being destroyed one after the other. To investigate these
cases, the Earth Federation Space Army dispatches Nadesico B to the Main Terminal
Colony Amaterasu. The captain of Nadesico B is the beautiful sixteen years
old Ruri Hoshino who was formerly an operator in the first Nadesico.
Then a mysterious black machine appears making an attack on Amaterasu. Ruri's
intuition tells her that the pilot of the black machine is Akito Tenkawa who
has been presumed |

dead. At the same time as the attack on Amaterasu from the black-bodied Black Sarena,
a coup d'etat by members who call themselves "the
successors to Mars" is carried out. They blast away
Amaterasu and also gain control of Mars. Increasing
number of people from within the Earth Federation flock
up to join in on the coup d'etat. If they get a control
over the ancient site, which holds the key to navigating
the bozon jump, and if they are able to monopolize
the skills of boson jump, then it would make them capable
of traveling in time and intervening in history. This
would be the greatest coup d'etat in the history of

world.
Ruri Hoshino has secret orders to recapture Mars and is looking
for the former crew of Nadesico. And in front of the grave of Dr. Iness, she
runs into Akito Tenkawa presumed to have died two years
ago. And what is the truth that he speaks, and the
destinies that await Earth and the crew of Nadesico....?
