For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, we are beginning the classic Gainax series Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water (1990), covering episodes 13 through 18. Join a rag-tag group of unlikely heroes on a steampunk adventure to find and save the lost city of Atlantis from an diabolical organization determined to rule the world. Stargate (1994) and Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) pretty much ripped this series off. Oh yeah, and did I mention that Hayao Miyazaki wrote it, and Hideaki Anno was involved, too?
After that is Heart and Yummie (2010), an anime feature film about a vegetarian tyrannosauru rex raised by herbivores. Upon running away from home, he discovers an orphaned baby ankylosaurus, and decides to be his adoptive parent. Uh-oh, he starts feeling his carnist urges to eat the baby. Will he be able to resist his animal nature? I guess we’ll find out. Think The Land Before Time (1988), but anime, and with a cuter aesthetic. Director Masaya Fujimori has not made any other original films, but he did apparently work on the Fairy Tail franchise. Great reviews for this, so let’s check it out.
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
