Hello Anime and Manga Fans!!! This one is called "Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water" this
is not a new anime, but very old "1990" old steampunk re-released anime, it's 39 episodes
long.And was re-released in march 2014, it's Genre's are Adventure, Comedy, Romance,
Sci-Fi, (robably more, but good summary). And the story go's like this....
It starts in 1890s Paris, a perky young lad called "Jean" is entering his home made plane
in a flying competition, but on the way to the contest, he spots a exotic/elegant dark-
skinned girl with a white lion cub, transfixed by her beauty, he follows her to the Eiffel
Tower, his daydream is interrupted by the sudden appearance of a couple of crooks, who
start to chase the girl, after helping her get away, he learns that she is a circus performer
called "Nadia", "Jean" declares himself her protector, and the pair become good friends.
"Jean" learns that "Nadia" is and orphan (like himself), who having a life in the circus
with a cruel ringmaster, has grown up to have a vicious animosity towards grownups, and
(being a little insecure) believes people will always betray her. "Jean", can be seen as
"Nadia's" opposite, for having completely different personality and interests, he is very
friendly, patient, and generous, with a natural talent at making machines, though is
somewhat lost when talking to the opposite sex, but slowly teaches "Nadia"
(unknowingly) to trust him, and thoughs around her, soon after.
Another force peruses "Nadia", "Gargoyle" a masked man with evil ambitions, and his
Neo-Atlanteans, who are after the pendent on her neck, along with the help of "Captain
Nemo" and his submarine the "Nautilus", "Jean", "Nadia", Captain and crew, head out to
discover "Nadia's" origin's, and the secret of the blue water.
Will "Nadia" learn about her past, or will "Gargoyle" claim her pendent, and rule the world.

This anime was made by "Anno" an old director, who we should pay homage for what
same anime' have become today, like "Neon Genesis Evangelion" unfortunately, "Anno"
had to dropout due to exhaustion at episode 22, leaving "Shinji Higuchi" (who's now
making the live-action movies of "Attack on Titan") to continue the series, which didn't
go well, according to other reviewers, episode 23 till 34, which have been called the
"island episodes" are very comedic, but "Anno" recuperated, (though not fully) comes
back and presides over the last 5 episodes, giving back it's original feeling, so don't blame
the director for being sloppy for episodes 23 - 34, because it's obvious that he's a hard
working guy. Anyway,
thanks for reading, as always there's a link to the trailer, dub-online, and a place to buy the
dvd below, ENJOY!!!

Keep up the reviews! They're great!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'll do my best !-)
DeleteIt should also be noted that "Nadia" has a very underrated dub. Despite the sometimes uneven accents, the acting is quite well done, and the voices of the children are especially good.
