Vandread is definitely one of the better anime series out there, and its unique mix of science fiction, action, and the war of the genders is not to be missed.
The action of Vandread focuses on a ship that is eventually called the Nirvana, with an all-female group of pirates that come across the "aliens" called men for the first time.
The background in which Vandread is set serves to enhance this, as the history of men and women - once together, then separate, and now together again - adds an interesting dimension to the action that unfolds.

 Vandread 1st Stage Review | Futurizmo Anime
Vandread greatly surpassed all of my expectations, the animation, the CG for the battle scenes, and the music were all amazingly well done.
Vandread 1st Stage's music was also a plus, although it consisted mostly of techno, each song fit perfectly and conveyed the right moods for certain situations throughout the series.
The Character development in the series is also very noticeable, each character goes through their own trials and changes as the story progresses, and for such a large cast of main characters makes this kind of development hard, so they did a great job with only thirteen episodes.

The three major points that truely separate this particular series from the rest are the ways relationships between boys and girls were portraed, the special designs on the mechas and the quality of this anime itself.

Although their work has been somewhat inconsistent, I must admit that Vandread would have to be one of their stronger works.
To begin with, the cast is populated with a whole range of interesting characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
However the main drawcard is the animation: Vandread is constructed out of the integration of traditional 2D animation and CGI 3D animation.
