''[[Nadia Omake Gekijou]]'' (English: ''Nadia's Omake Theater'') is a collection of ten animated featurettes humorously explaining and expanding the universe of ''[[Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water]]''. These were created by [[Studio Gainax]] who had created the original series and released initially on [[Laser DiscLaserDisc]] and later on [[DVD]]. Release date was very close to the time [[NHK]] was airing the series. Categorically, they constitute, as the title clearly suggests, [[Omake]] to the series.

#''The Big Secret of Blue Water'' - nature and qualities of Blue Water are explained by Elektra to a rod puppet of Marie. Some humurous character dynamics.
#''Nadia Enters a Pageant (Out of 39)'' - designated in the title screen as "Episode 17.5" goes over the story of an almost "normal" day in Nautilus.
#''Welcome to Neo-Atlantis'' - Gargoyle plays a curator and introduces Neo-Atlantis and its army to the habitually irreverent and instinctively practical Marie. [[Lampshade Hanging|Hangs a lampshade toon]] the unexplained destruction of Gargoyle's knock-off Tower of Babel.
#''Nadia Super Encyclopedia (This is Nadia! Nadia's Secret File)'' - goes as far as giving Nadia's measurements and "interviews" with her reluctant acquaintances. A photo of [[Hideaki Anno]] appears in a cutout animation near the end.
#''Sunset JanJan'' - designated (playfully) "Episode 52." Features Nadia and Jean in a form of Japanese talk show unknown to [[Tropers/Discordia|this troper]] showcasing their memorable moments through occasionally embarrassing photos.
