| - Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water is an anime inspired by Jules Verne's epic adventure 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
- Set in 1889 and extremely loosely based on Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water tells the story of Nadia, a girl who's trying to find out about her past, Jean, a boy who wants to build a flying machine, and the Blue Water, a mysterious gem of Nadia's with strange powers. Their world is home to two shadowy groups in conflict: Neo-Atlantis, who want to rule the world, and the crew of the submarine Nautilus, who have sworn to oppose Neo-Atlantis. These two plots are not unconnected...

| - Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water is an anime inspired by Jules Verne's epic adventure 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
- Set in 1889 and extremely loosely based on Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water tells the story of Nadia, a girl who's trying to find out about her past, Jean, a boy who wants to build a flying machine, and the Blue Water, a mysterious gem of Nadia's with strange powers. Their world is home to two shadowy groups in conflict: Neo-Atlantis, who want to rule the world, and the crew of the submarine Nautilus, who have sworn to oppose Neo-Atlantis. These two plots are not unconnected... This series originally aired starting in 1990 on NHK -- Japanese public broadcasting (the Japanese equivalent of BBC). Carl Macek's Streamline Pictures released a VHS of the first eight episodes. Years later, ADV translated and released the entire 39-episode TV series as well as the maligned, mostly forgotten movie sequel on DVD. (Entry originally written by Rob Kelk for The Anime Primer, and used with permission of the author.) Just for the record, this series was the one that gave Hideaki Anno his first Animage Grand Prix before penning out his biggest masterpiece, Neon Genesis Evangelion... or rather, the reason NGE is such a mindscrew. It has been purported that the stress of working on a tight schedule, on a series over which he had almost no creative control was a key factor in precipitating Anno into a four-year-long bout of depression from which he emerged just before (some say while) doing Eva. A remastered version was released on Blu-Ray in Japan in 2011. Sentai Filmworks has re-licensed the series, and will be re-releasing it on Blu-ray and DVD in March 2014. (It is unknown if this will be the remastered version or the original, though.)
