Fushigi no Umi no Nadia Movie

Aired: 1991

A theatrical feature continuation of GAINAX's NHK television hit Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, helmed by the studio behind the original. Set some years after the TV series, the film reunites a more mature Jean and Nadia for an original story that combines new threats with elements of clip-show recap, while preserving the romantic mystery surrounding the young inventor and his beloved princess. Despite its uneven reputation among fans, the project's nostalgic affection for the show shines through. Satomi Matsushita's opening Hohoemi ga Itsuka and SILK's ending My Precious Trick Star bring a slightly more grown-up emotional palette than the TV themes, offering a wistful musical farewell to the series.
