Nadia deserved better, but even with its faults; this is a timeless classic worthy of praise.

In spite of its flaws, it triumps as a passionate celebration of the human race.

A truly beautiful anime tarnished by one of the worst momentum breakers of all time.
Extremely likeable but flawed and uneven fan favorites series from Gainax. Best watched episodes 1-22, 30, 31, & 35-39.
This anime has a lot of plot holes.
Despite how tumultuous the voyage ended up being, it’s still one I’d thoroughly recommend, if only with a few caveats.
So, about that Lost Island story arc...
Deservedly a classic, but time has not been kind to poor Nadia.
