Nadia The Secret of Blue Water Blu-ray Box Standard Edition

Thirty years after its television broadcast, the Blu-ray box released in 2011 returns in a Standard Edition containing all thirty-nine episodes.

The year is 1889. The World's Fair is being held in grand style in Paris, the City of Flowers. The event brings together the finest science and culture from around the world, and people dream of the approaching twentieth century and the arrival of an age in which science can do anything.

Scientific progress is rapidly making the Earth feel smaller, but the age is still filled with unknown wonders and adventure. Meanwhile, mysterious giant creatures known as sea monsters are appearing throughout the world's oceans, terrifying people.

Jean, a boy who loves inventing and whose father has disappeared because of one of these sea monsters, meets a mysterious girl named Nadia at the World's Fair.
