Spaceships Or Steampunk Mecha?
I want to borrow an anime series from my friend for Easter Break next week, but can't decide which. Know anything about...?
I'm stuck between Escaflowne and Martian Successor Nadesico. I've seen the first 2 episodes of each. She has all of Nadesico and all but the end of Escaflowne.
Escaflowne looks really cool, considering it's this mysterious steampunky mecha that's sort of alive (it came from an egg), but I figure that it's more popular so I have more chance of finding a copy to borrow next year in college. (Would it be bad if I missed the last episodes and watched the movie?)
Nadesico is a space show, sort of. Actually, I don't know a whole lot. It's supposed to be like Neon Genesis Evangelion (which I love but my parents hate, so slight dilemma there) but takes a route of its own (good!). I figure I should be safe.
I don't think either would have fan service, but I wouldn't know for sure. (You can never really tell.) The reason I bring this up is because the moment my dad sees skin (he's almost always in the same room as me while I'm watching anime) he'll tell me to turn it off. (Well, it only happened for Evangelion's End of Eva, but...) He'll also not like it if there's too many bad words....
So, which should I borrow? If you have seen either or both, or know anything about them, your opinion is greatly appreciated!
