*I did not use my normal equipment while recording this back in August, the video isn't the greatest as a result*  #### **This does not contain any English Audio or Subtitles, this is Japanese only.** Released in June 1991, The Nautilus Story is a 6-hour 'Director's Cut' of Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, cut down from the original series. This gives the 39-episode series a much faster pace, and cuts out all but 15 minutes of the controversial "Island Arc" of the show. This has only ever been released on VHS and LD, and wasn't included on any DVD or BD release Japan or otherwise. The concept is similar, but not the same as the 2020 fan-made 30th Anniversary Cut. This release contains an encode of a capture I made of the video back in August with the assistance of a personal friend, who provided these discs. The video quality wasn't that great to begin with (I highly doubt that this was edited from the original source), it's jittery, and a lot of scenes are pretty fuzzy. With the benefit of having digital audio though, it should be possible to recreate The Nautilus Story using the more recent 2011 BDs. ###### *Might be a cool addition to a future Nadia release hint hint* | Track | Type | Format | Language | ------------- |:-------------:|:-----:|:-----:| | 0 | Video | AVC | - | 1 | Audio | PCM | JPN ###### who watches nadia anyway am i right ### ***2023 Update:*** The amazing people led by KaixeRho have recently released a remaster using the 2011 BDs synced up to the Nautilus Story so you should really check it out!
