■ Product Introduction

[About Martian Successor Nadesico]

"Martian Successor Nadesico" is a popular animation series that aired on TV Tokyo from October 1996 to March 1997, combining science fiction, robot anime, and comedy.
Produced by XEBEC and directed by Tatsuo Sato, this work depicts the exploits of the space battleship "Nadesico," built independently by the private military company "Nergal Heavy Industries," and its unique crew, as Earth, the Moon, and Mars are attacked by the mysterious alien "Jupiter Lizards."
This work incorporates parody elements of traditional robot and science fiction anime, and has captivated many fans with its unique world view and appealing character designs.
The film "Martian Successor Nadesico: The Prince of Darkness" was released in 1998 and won the Anime Grand Prix Award, demonstrating that its popularity continues to this day.

[Character named Hoshino Ruri]

Hoshino Ruri is one of the youngest and most popular characters in the series.
As the science controller of the Nadesico, he has overcome numerous crises with his outstanding intellect and calm judgment.
Born through genetic engineering, she has a special affinity with computers and exudes a cool, intellectual charm, constantly dismissing the foolish behavior of the adults around her with her catchphrase, "They're all idiots."

Although he is only 11 years old, he was designed through genetic engineering and nanotechnology as an "operator directly connected to computers," and he possesses great intelligence and calm judgment.
Having received a special education that eliminates emotions and unnecessary information, she is always quick to dismiss the illogical words and actions of the adults around her by calling them "stupid."

On the other hand, Ruri also has a side to her that gradually learns about the subtleties of human relationships and emotions and grows as a person.
One of the highlights of this work is the way her heart changes through her interactions with the main character, Tenkawa Akito.
Additionally, the dialogue scene with her best friend, the battleship's computer Omoikane, is also an important element that symbolizes her loneliness and inner self.

In the movie "Martian Successor Nadesico: The Prince of Darkness," Ruri, now 16 years old, serves as the captain of the new battleship "Nadesico B," and plays a leading role in the story.
Her appearance, combining outstanding abilities with a slightly developed humanity, was deeply moving for fans of the original work.
