Set in 1889 and ''extremely'' loosely based on [[Jules Verne]]'s ''[[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea]]
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.

* [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]]: Jean install one on the cockpit of the plane it build, Nadia touches it {{spoiler|resulting in her and Marie's death. Though it was [[All Just a Dream|just a dream.]]}}
* [[Shadow Archetype]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: To ''[[Indiana Jones]]'', ''[[
** And, of course, multiple shout outs to Jules Verne's works that weren't directly used in the plot.
** The shout-outs in ''Secret of Blue Water'' are innumerable. You think you have found all of them but there's still more. There's an allusion to something outside of the story, often in [[Real Life]], like every five minutes. That's among the things that make the series great. It latches onto everything.
** Some plot elements seem to be Shout Outs to R.A. Wilson's and Bob Shea's [[Illuminatus
* [[Sneezing]]
* [[Snot Bubble]]
Line 213:
* [[Tsundere]] (Type A-1): Nadia (she gradually gets better, however, [[Fanon Discontinuity|if you don't count her actions in the filler arc.]])
* [[The Un-Reveal]]: If you expected some huge revelation regarding Gargoyle's face, you'll be disappointed. Besides some suspicious resemblance to [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Fuyutsuki]], his face is completely unremarkable.
** Considering that ''Nadia'' is older than ''Evangelion'', the "suspicious resemblance" goes the other way.
* [[Underboobs]] Nadia inadvertently reveals hers while adjusting her top. Naturally, [[Accidental Pervert|Poor Jean can't help but look.]]
* [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]]: The Tower of Babel, located in several places in the show: Gargoyle's base, Tartessos, and, ultimately, Red Noah.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?|What The Hell, Nadia?!]]:
** Sums up everyone's reaction after Nadia's suicide attempt; especially Grandis and Sanson. The former [[Armor-Piercing Slap|
** Marie when she witnesses Nadia lay into Jean (unfairly and undeservedly) in episode 10. (Nadia eventually apologizes to him for that.)
** When Nemo shoots a Neo
*** In episode 20, Nadia misunderstands Jean accepting a reprimand from Nemo (for nearly endangering the ''Nautilus'' with yet another failed invention). She makes the situation even worse by laying into Nemo.
