Fushigi no Umi no Nadia Gekijou You Original Ban

After I finished Nadia: the Secret of Blue Water, I was astounded at the ending; the show was a beautiful tribute to humanity and everything it can create. The final episode resolved the plot incredibly satisfyingly, but just out of curiosity I decided to give the movie a try. I knew going in that it was going to be disappointing, as it wasn't made by most of the same crew... but hey, I wanted more Nadia, and I thought at least it'd be bad in an interesting way like the main show's infamous Island Arc. Oh, how wrong I was.

This movie begins with a half hour of recap, has the most unimpressive animation ever, and follows the most generic and surface-level plotline possible. Practically everything about it fails to capture the viewer's interest. It's a sheer disappointment; even the fantastic voice actors from the original series sound bored, Grandis's performance being the only one to stand out. Even if you were going in expecting something bad, this movie isn't even awful enough to be funny. It's completely soulless. Do not watch it.
