Set in 1889 and ''extremely'' loosely based on [[Jules Verne]]'s ''[[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea]]'' (to the point of being an [[In Name Only]] adaptation), ''
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 Films|ADV]] translated and released the entire 39-episode TV series as well as the maligned, mostly forgotten movie sequel on DVD.

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 [[Creator Breakdown|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. [[ADV Films|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.){{verify}}
See also ''[[Nadia Omake Gekijou]]'', a set of short animations created as humorous, explanatory [[Omake]] for the series.
