VanDread has been quietly earning a loyal audience, and right now it's all available in Australia on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, and in the US on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel. Ai Orikasa leads a cast that brings something genuine to every episode.
Japanese production values give VanDread a feel distinct from American and international alternatives. Hibiki Tokai, a male third-class laborer from Taraak, ends up stuck on a battleship after a botched attempt at stealing a robot. When female pirates capture the Taraakian Vanguard, things don't look like they could get any worse. Ai Orikasa and Michiko Neya lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (2000–2002), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.
If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh rather than just smile politely, VanDread is a strong candidate — fans of The Adventures of the Little Prince will recognise the sensibility immediately. It works alone or with company.
