description Vandread Overview
In Vandread, men are from Mars and women are from Venus! Well, not quite. Technology has allowed mankind to colonize the entire Milky Way galaxy, and in one star system, the men and women live on two different planets, Taraak and Mejere. A bitter and very literal gender war rages, to the point where they don't even see each other as the sames species anymore!
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 for Hibiki.
help Vandread FAQ
What is the basic premise of Vandread?
In Vandread, men and women live separately on the planets Taraak and Mejere after humanity colonizes the galaxy. Their conflict is interrupted when characters from both sides are forced to cooperate in space.
Are Taraak and Mejere really Mars and Venus?
No, the phrase is a playful shorthand for the gender conflict. Taraak and Mejere are separate human worlds in a colonized star system, not the actual planets Mars and Venus.
What kind of mecha appear in Vandread?
The series features spacecraft and mecha associated with the men of Taraak and women of Mejere. Its action is built around combining technology and skills from the two societies after their forced alliance.
What makes Vandread different from a typical space-war anime?
Its central conflict is a gender-based social divide between two human worlds rather than a simple battle between nations. The science-fiction action is tied to the characters learning to work together across that divide.
