Nadia The Secret of Blue Water - The Motion Picture description
This 1993 feature won't make much sense to viewers who don't already know the characters from the 39-episode TV series (1990). Two years after her original adventure, Nadia hasn't had much success as a reporter in London. But when important military, political, and business figures begin evaporating, she investigates.

♥♥♥♥♥ |
Not as good as the TV series.
|
As many of you reading this review should very well know, the Nadia TV series is one of the best anime series' of all time, with it's wonderful cast of characters and it's roller coaster storyline. Now we get to the motion picture...
The Specs:
The Story: 2/5 - Weak
Now, keep in mind that when I review a title, I always do it with a very open mind. Even with those that I expect to be mediocre. Nadia: The Movie started off on the wrong foot with me when the first 15-30 minutes or so of the movie was literally nothing but recycled clips from the TV series. In my personal review system, this automically deducts a star. I can safely say that the abosolute worst way to start off a movie based on a TV show is by recapping. Fans of the show already know what's happened, and the don't need to have to have the entire story retold to them before getting into the movie. Of course, this is apparantly a way of getting the movie to last longer. Didn't work for me. I skipped over the entire part. The, we FINALLY get into the main story. Unfortunately, the script is riddled with too many short comings. For one, the story is just not good enough. And while it's true when another reviewer stated that this movie takes place BEFORE Nadia and Jean get married, it STILL ignores key parts from the ending. (Grandis and her crew are thugs again, which, according to the official ending, doesn't happen.) King is mysteriously absent as well. The villain is also laughable, not nearly as intimidating or evil as Gargoyle was.
Animation: 2/5 - Weak
The animation is extremely low budget for an anime movie, even for the year it was made. The TV series was much better animated than this. Not much quality in action scenes either. The whole movie often looks too stilted.
Sound: 3/5 - Mediocre
The music in this movie isn't terrible, but it isn't very inspired either. Most of it lacks the emotion and depth of the TV series soundtrack, although the the opening and closing themes are decent.
Conclusion: I loved the TV series, I really wanted to at least like the movie too, but unfortunately it just doesn't measure up. Unless you own the Second Nadia Collection that already includes the movie, it's just not worth a shelling out the extra cash for the movie. (The movie was NOT made by the original creators anyways.) If you have read this and still want to check out the movie, be my guest. However, you aren't missing much. |
