A listing for Nadia: Secret of Blue Water in high definition for Blu-ray has landed and it’s a release that will definitely tempt some fans even with its high price and somewhat awkward but understandable setup. The 39 episode series ran from 1990 to 1991 and had an aborted release by Streamline where eight episodes came over dub only in 1996. In 2001, ADV Films grabbed the rights to the series and the film and brought it out in full with a new dub and new cast. Unfortunately, this new Japanese release doesn’t appear to contain any of the English language material to it. The series will be spread across seven discs with an LPCM stereo mix for the Japanese language track. It’s also being done from an HD remaster of the original 35mm film, but it’s noted that some portions of the series did not have the original film master available so those will be done as an SD upscale. The set is going to include the original ten episodes of omake theater as well as a new one hundred page booklet. And it will all be housed in a new art box illustrated by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto.
