Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water - Full Opening (Blue Water)

[namekianer1]

One of the best Animes of my Childhood and one of the best all over the time.

[Tornado1994]

@shukigkato. GAINAX originally planned 52 episodes. They had produced 25 for run during 1989, but the budget tightened & plans for an aditional 26 episodes were stopped, GAINAX had no choice but to compromise & cut the original production in half, 13 more episodes were produced . The reason why certain mid episodes looked tacky is because GAINAX changed studios.

[Tornado1994]

Production for NADIA begin in the late summer of 1988 around the same time Gunbuster was released. It was completed in the winter of 1989. Additional episodes were ordered that summer, but the budget ran out which is why after Episode 25 the animation looks alot more cheaper.

[shukigkato]

@Tornado1994 Really? I thought the episodes between 23 and 34 only looked crappy because they were outsourced to a different studio outside of Japan because of time constraints. After all, the final five episodes don't seem to have any budget issues and are probably the best in the series in terms of production and especially content.

[Tornado1994]

NADIA aired in Europe from 1990 to 1991. Check out ANN. NADIA ran on N.H.K. TV from 1989 to 1990. The production date is also copyrighted 1989. It was GAINAX's first TV release.

@Tornado1994

Copyright date is usually production dates.

For example, Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory says 1990 in the copyright date, but it is really 1991.

And Backstreet Boys I Want It That Way says 1998, though it was released in 1999.

[princesslylou2]

Trop cooooool Je kiff cette vidéo! ;)

[ryanibe08]

did ever come on the air in the USA?

[Amisbro]

@ryanibe08

I don't if it ever aired on its own here in the states but there were the DVDs sold indiviually and in two collections with the series and movies. I got them both at a store for like $70 US a few years back. You might have to look online for them now though sadly and if prepare to be raped for them cos some people will sell them high

[Kanuskiz]

it's really hard the opening song from Nadia the movie (which is apparently 60% horrendous clip show). the only version available on Youtube was part of what played in uploaded German dubbed movie.

[FadeToBlack85]

Blue Noah - Dj Sharpnel !!!! :D

[Tornado1994]

Can you believe that this song and the anime are NOW 20 years old?

[ryanibe08]

@Tornado1994 when did it come on the air?

[Tornado1994]

@ryanibe08 April 16,1989 to March 18,1990 on Japan NHK TV. September 1989 to May 1991 on Paris Match TV in France.

[ZXChris93]

@Tornado1994 Yea, i wasn't even born yet when the anime started or ended! I was born in 1993, so yea ^^

[sega31098]

@Tornado1994

Can`t believe the 90s started 21 years ago.

[Tornado1994]

@sega31098 NADIA ran on N.H.K. TV from April 1989 to March 1990. It was originally going to be a 52 episode series, but production was stopped halfway due to lack of budget and only 39 were made and aired.

[sega31098]
