Martian Successor Nadesico (Japanese: 機動戦艦ナデシコ, Hepburn: Kidō Senkan Nadeshiko; lit. "Mobile Battleship Nadesico"), sometimes referred to as simply Nadesico (ナデシコ, Nadeshiko), is a 1996 science fiction comedy anime television series produced by Xebec and directed by Tatsuo Satō, with manga artist Kia Asamiya providing original character designs, Keiji Gotoh serving as chief animation director, Mika Akitaka being the main mechanical designer and Takayuki Hattori composing the music. A manga adaptation by Asamiya was published by Kadokawa Shoten from July 26, 1996, to December 26, 1998, before the premiere of the anime. The manga, licensed in North America by CPM Manga, has many significant changes from the anime.
The series aired from October 1, 1996, to March 24, 1997, with a total of 26 episodes, and was replaced by the Pokémon anime in its timeslot.
In 2005, Anime News Network reported that plans for Nadesico 2 were scrapped, citing an entry on Stellvia director Tatsuo Sato's blog.
