Can they unravel the Secret of the Blue Water before it is too late? Discover Nadia, Secret of Blue Water, the animated series beloved by millions, and find out for yourself.

We like it because:

Inspired by the Jules Verne classic 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, the award-winning Nadiahas stood the test of time, ranking alongside Neon Genesis Evangelion, Fullmetal Alchemistand Naruto as one of the all-time iconic anime series.

From the legendary creative team of Hideaki Anno and Hayao Miyazaki it’s little wonder Nadia has retained its sparkle 25 years on. It’s still a magical piece of storytelling, filled with quirky characters, fantastical twists, and stunning animation. And now that it’s on Blu-ray for the very first time, all 39 episodes have never looked - or sounded better.

Whether you’re a hardcore anime fan or just discovering the genre, Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water is essential viewing!
