Fushigi no Umi no Nadia Gekijou You Original Ban

If you enjoyed the show, then the best part of the movie is the half an hour recap the movie pulls off... almost entirely skipping the Island Arc, but also a good portion of important events to the ending. It also doesn't explain that it takes place after the shows end, but before the time skip the show ends on.

For me, the lack of Marie instantly loses the movie three stars. She was the heart of the show in my opinion. Three of our main crew that do come back seem to have completely forgotten the lessons they learned on their journey. The new characters are either completely forgettable, or will remind you of the carbon copies that they are based on from other, better, works.

I cannot agree that it is entirely skippable, only due to the fact that is the LAST chance you'll ever get to spend with Jean and Nadia ever again. It's been 30 years since the time of this posting, if you want more, this is all there is.

Is it lackluster, yes.

Would I take it over nothing at all, no.
