Nadia. Oh my god Nadia. What the fuck happened to my Nadia. This is it. This is the worst anime in general I have ever seen. This is far below even my reaction to Dragon Ball GT as a child. This goes beyond how I felt about Naruto when I went through my edgy 14 year old phase. Even beyond my lukewarm at best reaction to the Hunter x Hunter Greed Island Final OVA series. Because while I thought all of those were bad none of them were just an IP abused by a completely different outside group. GT at least had Toei. GI Final at least had Nippon Animation. Nadia: The Motion Picture isnt Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. It is Nadia: We Want Your Money. It apes brand recognition and familiar characters for a quick buck it does nothing to expand on these characters it does nothing to develop them further and a lot of the most memorable characters dont even return. It shoehorns in another love triangle subplot despite the love triangle in the show being the worst part about it. It has this completely forgettable villain who makes weird clone things and its excused as Oh he knew the bad guys in the main series dont worry this makes sense. BITCH THIS ISNT A FUCKING DRAGON BALL Z MOVIE THIS IS HIDEAKI ANNOS MASTERPIECE 1 of 4. The worst part about this movie isnt any of that though. Its not how ugly it looks its not how bad the animation is if you can even call it that most of the time its not how poor its grasp of the characters is its not how stereotypical the Okay woman subplot regarding Nadia is the worst part the definite WORST THING about this atrocity of a film is that I am forced to say Yeah Nadias great BUT. I have to add more to that idea that idea that Nadia is great. I have to prolong my thought with this fucking piece of garbage and that makes me angry. It makes me want to never fucking watch another Nadia anime ever again. The anime I gave a 10/10 to. Its almost fitting that a surprising hit for me would have a surprisingly bad cashgrab waiting in the shadows. I will say without fail do not watch this movie. Theres nothing to be gained here watching it adds nothing to the show it adds nothing to your understanding of it it adds nothing to Annos career it adds nothing to Gainax as an entity beyond a footnote it doesnt even really exist. Its not on the BD its been relegated to the same purgatory the Nadia Specials in one of Sure you exist buddy. A purgatory of Oh yeah that happened moving on is honestly what this film deserves. Yeah Nadias great but avoid this fucking movie. https://animethemes.moe/video/NeonGenesisEvangelionOP1.
