Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water: Difference between revisions

* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: invoked and discussed within the story itself. Nadia's brown skin, straight hair, green eyes, and "[[Mukokuseki|stateless]]" anime heroine looks are all in marked contrast to the rest of the crew who all have recognizably ethnic features. Most characters only have a vague idea she might be African... or [[Own Brown Town|Indian]]... ({{spoiler|Turns out she's Atlantean.}})

* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: When the show returns in Episode 35 after the infamous island/Africa arc, it all but neglects the events that happened in them (save episodes 30 & 31), suggesting they were never intended to be part of the plot.<br /><br />Hideaki Anno is even said to have been dissatisfied with the final result of the TV show, and as a matter of fact has made a shorter, more streamlined compilation called "The Nautilus Story", which all but eliminates the filler arc and concentrates on the struggle between Nemo and Gargoyle (some scenes in the more pivotal episodes are cut as well). (This version, clocking in at approximately six hours, was only released in Japan on video and laserdisc.) In fact, this release was as close as Anno came to doing a remake of the show theatrically.
