A shorter, more streamlined version of Nadia called "The Nautilus Story", which all but eliminates the filler arc and concentrates on the struggle between Nemo and Gargoyle. Some scenes in the more pivotal episodes are cut as well. The compilation series was made by Hideaki Anno, who was said to have been dissatisfied with the final result of the TV show. The Nautilus Story was only released in Japan on VHS and laserdisc.

Where it came from
Released in the early 1990s, Fushigi no Umi no Nadia: Nautilus Story serves as an expanded look at the lore surrounding the titular vessel from the acclaimed Gainax television series. This production was crafted to satisfy the curiosity of the dedicated fan base that emerged after the original show's conclusion, providing a deeper dive into the mechanical and technical specifications of the Nautilus rather than focusing on a traditional narrative arc.
The animation reflects the high-detail mechanical aesthetic that defined Hideaki Anno's directorial style during this period. By prioritizing technical exposition and aesthetic world-building, the creators sought to frame the vessel as a character in its own right. It was received as a niche archival piece, intended specifically for enthusiasts interested in the intricate design philosophies that underpinned the series' submarine-focused science fiction setting.
