POP UP PARADE Ruri Hoshino

From "Martian Successor Nadesico" comes an elaborate figure of the genius girl

Work introduction

"Martian Successor Nadesico" is a popular animated 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 Sato Tatsuo, the series depicts the exploits of the space battleship Nadesico, built by the private military company Nergal Heavy Industries, and its unique crew, as the Earth, Moon, and Mars are attacked by a mysterious alien race known as the "Jupiter Lizards."

This work has captivated many fans with its unique worldview and appealing characters, while incorporating parody elements of traditional robot and science fiction anime. It has been particularly praised for its setting that reflects the otaku culture of the 1990s, when the anime was produced, and its storyline that exquisitely blends humor and serious drama. In 1998, the film "Martian Successor Nadesico: The Prince of Darkness" was released and won the Anime Grand Prix Award, and its popularity continues to this day.

Hoshino Ruri character details

Hoshino Ruri is a particularly memorable character in "Martian Successor Nadesico." Despite only being 11 years old, she was engineered through genetic engineering and nanotechnology to be an "operator directly connected to computers," and has exceptional intelligence and calm judgment. Having received a special education that eliminated emotion and unnecessary information, she is often seen dismissing the illogical behavior of the adults around her by calling them "stupid."

On the other hand, Ruri also grows as she gradually learns about the subtleties of human relationships and emotions. One of the highlights of the film is the way her heart changes through her interactions with the main character, Akito Amagawa. Furthermore, the scenes where she talks to her best friend, the battleship's computer, Omoikane, are also important elements that symbolize her loneliness and inner self.

In the film "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 improved humanity, was deeply moving for fans of the original work.
