Love the story and the animation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful story from an anime legend *by J***G on November 1, 2025* This is a wonderful series from the early years of one of the geniuses of anime. I'm delighted to finally have the whole series in Blu-ray, and the quality is worth the wait. And oh, that theme song... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Technically, a Blu-Ray budget release of previous versions found on DVD *by T***R on July 15, 2025* Nadia, the secret of blue water is in my top 10 must watch anime series of all time. That’s saying a lot since I’ve been watching Japanese animation since before most you kiddos were even born. The early days of the 1980s, when imported VHS tapes were being swapped at sci fi conventions and this ten year old (at the time) discovered that mainstream American dubs of Space Battleship Yamato, for example, were shredded and rewritten for the a North American children’s audience. Nothing has changed. The dubs today on streaming services,just hide it slightly better. It’s really too bad that they continue to try to sell Nadia: The secret of Blue Water by writing on the cover “from that dude who created Neon Genesis Evangelion.” Yes, we know, we get it! That insulting statement pretty much disregards everyone else who put their blood sweat and tears into making the series. Fortunately Nadia has nothing to do with Evangellion, except for the Gainax ties. Hideki Anno was indeed the writer and director and Shiro Sagisu was also the composer, but this is a totally different and brilliant uplifting story, and 98% Family friendly. So Anti-Evangelion in nearly every way. So if you’relooking for more giant robots and totally depressing endings go elsewhere. Don’t get me wrong, I love Evangelion for what it is. Watching the Writer/Director turn his ongoing nervous breakdown into a brilliantly depressing mentally ill series is great! That surreal reality that seems unreally real is why it’s still so popular today. Everyone enjoys being depressed now and again. But sometimes you need a show that just puts a smile on your face every time you watch it. That is Nadia. I could go on for hours about how great the show is, but we need to get to technical details of this current release. Although it says it has been remastered for Blu-ray, I really didn’t see any difference in picture quality between this and the previous release produced by Sentai film works. Furthermore, it takes up five discs, which is the exact same amount of discs it took up when it was previously released on DVD. I doubt Gkids did anything except for a quick one pass, upscale scan, and then slaped it out on Blu-raydisc as quick as possible. But then again you’re talking about an analogue television series which began filming in 1989 and first broadcast in 1990. Would upscaling really help it in any way? Also missing this time around was the bonus soundtrack found in the previous DVD releases. It was disappointing not to see the two disc soundtrack was not included anymore under this new distributor, but it may come down to copyright issues. Final disappointment and this is a big one, would be the lack of any bonus material. This is a much more bare bones release of this Gainax masterpiece, but there are some who believe physical media is dead, and bonus materials doesn’t matter. Yeah right! So that’s alwhy the far superior earlier release on DVD with all kinds of extra goodies, now fetches a premium that is four times as much as its original MSRP in preowned condition. We’re talking hundreds of buckaroonies! And the physical mediacollector market is booming! It’s funny that, even though they say they support physical media, they give modern fans little reason to collect it. Nadia really is a must own, not a binge stream and forget it.
