Review of “Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water – The Nautilus Story”
Jean: So, let’s dive into “The Nautilus Story,” shall we? It’s like the original Nadia, but with all the fluff trimmed off. Like, if you took a sandwich and just kept the meat and cheese, you’d have this! No crusts, just pure adventure.
Nadia: Right? It’s basically the condensed version of our epic journey. But instead of just sailing smoothly, we’re thrown right into the action with the indestructible submarine, the Nautilus!
Jean: And oh boy, does the Nautilus have a personality! I mean, it’s not just a submarine; it’s like a character in its own right! I half expected it to start reciting Shakespeare! But instead, it’s all about battling the Gargoyle, who’s basically a giant, creepy villain with a penchant for causing chaos. Talk about a bad hair day!
Nadia: Seriously! The Gargoyle is like that one friend who always shows up uninvited and then breaks your favorite vase. But here’s the kicker—Gargoyle isn’t working alone! He’s got his goons, and they are as useless as a screen door on a submarine! Every time they try to take us down, it just ends in a hilarious disaster.
Jean: And let’s not forget Captain Nemo! He’s the ultimate brooding hero with a flair for the dramatic. I mean, if there was an award for the most intense stares, he’d win it hands down! His battles against the Gargoyle are like watching a master chef battle a blender—intense and messy!
Nadia: And yet, there’s a strange camaraderie, right? Nemo’s got this tragic backstory—lost love, world-weary angst, the whole package! But the real kicker? He’s still got time to save the world from Gargoyle’s shenanigans! Talk about multitasking!
Jean: Meanwhile, we’re just trying to figure out how to operate a submarine without accidentally blowing it up! And let’s be honest, the Nautilus is probably the only submarine that could survive a direct hit from a giant pizza cutter and still float! It’s indestructible!
Nadia: It’s like a superhero in its own right! And with each battle against the Gargoyle, we get these epic underwater sequences that are more thrilling than a rollercoaster ride! The animation is stunning, even in this streamlined version. You can practically feel the bubbles!
Jean: But wait! Here’s the spoiler alert—the final showdown is nothing short of legendary! Nemo, with his dramatic flair, faces off against the Gargoyle in a battle that’s more epic than a rock concert! Who knew a submarine could be so cool?
Nadia: And let’s not forget the twist at the end—just when you think it’s all over, there’s a hint of something more! It’s like when you finish a great book and realize there’s a sequel! I mean, come on, Hideaki Anno, give us more!
Jean: So, to wrap it up, “The Nautilus Story” is like the best parts of our adventure all rolled into one. It’s quick, it’s thrilling, and it’s got everything you could want—action, drama, and a submarine that could probably take on Godzilla!
Nadia: Exactly! If you haven’t seen it yet, grab a copy—if you can find one! It’s a wild ride that proves sometimes, less really is more!
