Raidese F. Branstein is a skirt-chasing long-haired Earth pilot! Kyosuke Nanbu is a long-haired bishonen Jovian pilot! The Sage Fox of Shinra is Nadesico's Electronic Fairy! Excellen Browning is/was an amnesiac enemy pilot on the opposite side of the T.V where Kyosuke Nanbu lives!
Shinji is remarkably chipper, at least in the dub. Asuka is a bit more calm and mature.
Real Life Relative: Akito and Ruri's seiyuu are husband and wife. Thankfully not replicated in-series.
Doesn't prevent Ruri's dialogue towards Akito and vice versa from sounding more passionate than that between Akito and Yurika.
Shout-Out: Everything from classic science fiction to Iron Chef to having a whole major character based on Megumi Hayashibara. Even the name of the ship, "Nadesico", is an ironic reference to the Yamato of Uchuu Senkan Yamato by way of the common Japanese phrase "Yamato Nadeshiko" ("Nadeshiko" is an alternate transliteration of "Nadesico"). Worth pointing out, the manga actually calls the Nadesico with Y-Unit "Yamato Nadesico".
