Around this time last year, film and anime distributor GKIDS announced the acquisition of Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water—which was produced by Gainax and directed by Hideaki Anno (Neon Genesis Evangelion), with character designs by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Evangelion, Royal Space Force -The Wings of Honnêamise)—and released the 4K restoration on Blu-ray in August 2022. Here’s how GKIDS describes the anime:

 

It’s 1889 and people from around the globe are flocking to Paris to see scientific achievements at the Exposition Universelle despite rumors of dangers lurking in the oceans. While attending the fair, teenaged inventor Jean meets Nadia, a mysterious girl who possesses a highly sought-after crystal called Blue Water. Pursued by nefarious forces, the pair journey by sea and by sky to escape their would-be captors and to discover the secret of the crystal.
