Vandread

Hibiki secretly enters a new battleship to steal a Vanguard, but his plan falls apart when the vessel launches with him aboard. Things get even more complicated when a band of female pirates attacks!

The female pirates are deciding the fate of Hibiki and two other captive men when a mysterious enemy unleashes a sneak attack. They’ll have to find a way to work together if they are to survive.

The assault has ended, but the new crew of the damaged battleship isn’t out of danger yet. Some of the women are missing, and swarming asteroids threaten to demolish the vessel - and safety is far, far away.

Hibiki’s earning a reputation as a worthy warrior, but his inability to work well with others is causing problems. He’s reassigned to the supply depot, where Gascogne gives him a lesson in the art of teamwork.

Aboard the re-christened Nirvana, Hibiki’s growing more and more annoyed with Dita. Later, a team of Vanguards is dispatched to the surface of a barren planet, where the enemy’s intentions are revealed.

Meia sustains serious injuries in battle. As her friends attempt to save her life, her mind drifts to scenes from her difficult past. Meanwhile, it’s up to Hibiki to lead the team to safety.

Hibiki has no idea how to handle women, and his behavior is causing Dita great pain. As he seeks advice from Gascogne, Dita begins to see that her feelings for Hibiki are unlike anything she’s ever known.

The crew investigates a deserted space colony and stumbles across Rabat. Hibiki and the gang don’t trust him - and when he boards the Nirvana, their fears prove valid.

Hibiki and Jura crash on the surface of a water-covered planet. When the others arrive to investigate, they must deal with a strange religious cult.

Christmas comes to the Nirvana, but the men don’t understand the holiday. The guys grow more confused when they find an old video of a man and woman celebrating the day together - and living together!

Misunderstandings and suspicions lead to new hostilities between Nirvana’s women and men. Hibiki flees into space - only to encounter a shocking display of Harvest power.

Hibiki and Rabat return to the Nirvana and are quickly incarcerated. The women, vowing to never again depend on men, stand alone against the Harvest.

As the women struggle against the Harvest juggernaut, Hibiki escapes confinement. With the Nirvana’s resources seriously depleted, Hibiki comes up with a risky plan to end the battle.
