History YMMV / MartianSuccessorNadesico

** Oddly enough, this is mostly averted in Mexico and Latin America, on the grounds the movie [[MarthDebutedInSmashBros debuted first before the TV series]]. It also helps the [[SuperlativeDubbing dub is really good, especially Ruri's Mexican VA]].

** Also a few other Woolseyisms, mostly to make sense of [[PungeonMaster Izumi's]] lines.

* {{Woolseyism}}: Several of the jokes are made much funnier by being delivered by the English language cast who had just done Evangelion. "You mean episode 26 wasn't the last episode?" is funny. Hearing Spike (Shinji) Spencer say it is hilarious. The Directors openly state that some parts were decided upon [[ActorAllusion due to links with other ADV shows]]. Akito (SpikeSpencer - Shinji in Eva) and Ryoko's (TiffanyGrant - Asuka in the same show) roles are the prime examples.

* TheWoobie: Jun Iori, at least, if you listen to his fangirls...

** It says something that one ''SuperRobotWars'' [[SuperRobotWarsReversal game]] actually uses TimeTravel [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong to prevent the events of the movie from occurring]].

* FanDumb (Lots of viewers treat it as a entirely serious and cynical show with a strong message against anime and fandom of any sort, apparently missing the part where Akito explicitly says it's perfectly fine to believe in justice, fall in love, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and watch poorly-written anime]]. If anything, it's a criticism of [[StopHavingFunGuys obsessing over something to the point of it no longer being enjoyable]], not that enjoying it to begin with is bad.)

* WhatAnIdiot (Akito's reaction to Jun taking out an Aestivalis without a pilot suit)

* {{Woolseyism}} (Several of the jokes are made much funnier by being delivered by the English language cast who had just done Evangelion. "You mean episode 26 wasn't the last episode?" is funny.

Akito (SpikeSpencer - Shinji in Eva) and Ryoko's (TiffanyGrant - Asuka in the same show) roles are the prime examples.)

* CompleteMonster: Haruki Kusakabe, the Jovian leader, is this in spades. [[spoiler:Not only did he frame Shiratori for treason and had him killed to prolong the war, but he did all kinds of horrible experiments on Akito, Yurika and Lapis in TheMovie]].

** It says something that one ''SuperRobotWars'' game actually uses TimeTravel [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong to prevent the events of the movie from occurring]].

* EnsembleDarkhorse (Ruri, who pretty much takes over TheMovie entirely.)

** It says something that one ''SuperRobotWars'' game actually uses ''TimeTravel'' [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong to prevent the events of the movie from occurring]].

** It says something that one ''SuperRobotWars'' game actually uses ''TimeTravel'' to prevent the events of the movie from occurring, making it a BadFuture.

** It says something that one ''SuperRobotWars'' game actually uses ''TimeTravel'' to prevent the events of the movie from occurring.

** If it's overly cynical about anything, it's the idea of Culture bringing forth peace ala Macross.

* HilariousInHindsight: In the credits of the dub, Ruri's voice actress is listed simply as "[[DeathNote Kira]]".

* SuperlativeDubbing: Often listed as a prime example, usually due to bleed-off from NeonGenesisEvangelion and its well-received dub.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: The "manual launch" gag.
** [[{{ItMakesSenseInContext}} "GYAHHHHH! YOU HARUKA MINATO, EARTH WOMAN,]] [[{{Angrish}} BIG BROTHER, GETTING DIZZY, WHOA! *SPLASH*]]

* AlasPoorScrappy (The very obnoxious, [[ChewToy if amusing]], [[spoiler:Admiral Munitake]] gets a surprisingly moving death scene when his time finally comes.)

** [[{{ItMakesSenseInContext}} "GYAHHHHH! YOU HARUKA MINATO, EARTH WOMAN, BIG BROTHER, GETING DIZZY, WAOH! *SPLASH*]]
