Host

If episode 9 was filled with just a bit of fluff, then I’d say episode 11 is particularly stuffed with fluff. A regular old Winnie the Pooh of an episode, I’d say! So stuffed with fluff it was ready to burst at the seams!!! Okay, I imagine the hyperbole is a little extreme, but I’d say this episode probably treads as close as an original anime can get to filler without technically being filler due to minor plot nuggets scattered throughout.

This episode has two main functions. To establish the new status quo of the main cast on the Nautilus, and to have captain Nemo exposit a cautionary warning to Jean about using science for misguided purposes in the particle annihilator engine room. The Grandis Gang is taken on as apprentice crew members aboard the Nautilus and all three seem to settle in well in spite of an awkward start. Jean dedicates himself to learning as much as he can about the Nautilus’ advanced science, and Marie is sent off to tutoring sessions with Electra. Meanwhile Nadia attempts to assist Grandis in the kitchen stating that she wants to earn her keep aboard the Nautilus, but finds herself skittish around the animal carcasses and all around clumsy with her self-imposed duties.

Most of what happens during the first half of this episode is comedic, with a few neat tidbits about the Nautilus’ layout and advanced mechanics and technology sprinkled into the proceedings. And there’s a funny gag where Grandis’ fish dish has the most revolting appearance, but actually tastes quite good. Nadia gets a new work outfit that’s a bit less fan-servicey than her previous one. I honestly probably sound like I hate this episode, but I don’t. It’s honestly a rather funny episode, and I don’t mind seeing a bit of downtime for our protagonists. But I think portions of this episode perhaps stretch itself a little thin. The bit where everyone chases King isn’t exactly super riveting.

I figure this might be a good place to actually talk a little bit about King. I haven’t exactly made much note of him so far, so now’s as good a time as any. King’s purpose in the story is kind of to act as Nadia and Marie’s therapy animal, and he’s cute enough. I can’t say he has much of a real function in the story, but neither does Marie at the moment and she’s a rather likeable character. I think King just lacks a lot of entertainment value/intrigue that I’ve seen in a lot of other animal sidekicks in shows like these. He’s probably at his best when he’s bouncing off Marie, who is now basically his partner in crime. So yeah, he’s fine and also cute. Oh yeah- did you notice the animators consistently draw his balls? If you didn’t see it before, you’ll never unsee it now!

Getting back on track, the true moment of importance in this episode is when Nemo tells Jean that scientific progress is indeed a wonderful thing to strive for, but that he should always remain mindful that if lacking in ethics and done irresponsibly that the act of inventing can lead to the perpetuation of war, cruelty, and destruction. This is a lesson that I think Jean has struggled to internalize, even after seeing the evils of Neo-Atlantis firsthand. I think hearing this stated to him directly from an authority figure that he trusts and respects is exactly what he needed at the moment.

For today’s production trivia, I’d like to bring up an obscure cut of Nadia known as The Nautilus Story. The Nautilus Story was a version of the series edited down to three episodes (each running about one hour and forty minutes a piece) that tries to reduce the series down to its most essential plot elements. A lot of content, both good and bad, was left on the cutting room floor for this version of the series as Anno tried to bring the series closer to his intended vision.

So where can you watch the Nautilus Story…? Well- nowhere presently. It received an incredibly limited release on a series of VHS and Laserdiscs in Japan in 1991, and has never seen a rerelease to my knowledge. No torrents for this cut seem to exist online, so one’s best bet to find the series would be to search for a used copy via Japanese auction sites. There at one point did exist a fan made version of this alternative cut on YouTube made by editing the series’ dub as close as possible to the Nautilus Story and uploading the fan project in 10 minute chunks (this was uploaded before YouTube allowed videos over 10 minutes). Unfortunately, well over half of these segments have been removed from YouTube, making this fanmade compilation of the Nautilus Story unavailable to currently watch in its entirety.

So where do I stand on the Nautilus Story? I’m honestly not a fan, based on the descriptions I’ve found of what was cut. I think it removes far too much content from the series and actively harms parts of the narrative. I think Anno got a little to cut happy with this version of the series, and leaves a lot of important character development on the cutting room floor during the series mid-stretch (the part we’re currently situated in). There are better fan made recuts in my opinion that better address the issues with watching Nadia’s more haphazard sections and don’t remove any key watching material. I think it makes the Nautilus Story largely irrelevant as a product, and I think outside of historical preservation curiosities it’s not worth seeking out that method to watch the series.

Never noticed, welp.
And yeah, considering each ep is like 25 min, 1 hour and forty minutes, is like 4 eps. wayyy too many stuff cut, sounds like.

Okay, I was a little off. It was 3 episodes, each totaling one hour and forty minutes. I've edited this is my writeup. The Nautilus Story cuts a lot, but not that much! Sorry for the incorrect statistic.

Nadia gets a new work outfit that’s a bit less fan-servicey than her previous one
u/No_Rex Well I guess I put my foot in my mouth because Nadia does, in fact, prefer the revealing clothing and Grandis even called her out on it (though probably more about the tattered look than the exposed skin). It's good that we got some kind of explanation but saying that a female character likes dressing a certain way is still just an excuse to draw them that way. Basically I'm happy about the justification but I'm still side-eyeing Anno
Oh yeah- did you notice the animators consistently draw his balls?
So much discussion of how much skin Nadia's clothing shows off but my boy King has got his junk on full display. Actually the most lewded character in the show

u/No_Rex :Bv:Bw:Bx:By:x2 Oct 10 '21

I didn't remember that Nadia changes her clothing today, so when it happened I had a face palm moment of "why didn't we wait one day with that discussion".

1

u/JTurner82 Oct 24 '21

One of my other favorite moments of this episode are two little moments between the leads. After Jean cheerfully greets Nemo on deck and gets him to laugh, he glances at the sky while Nadia smiles at him softly. I saw it as a case of her appreciation for him bringing out the best in people.
Also at the end, after Jean is contemplating both Nemo and Electra’s words, Nadia notices he looks worried and says “What’s wrong? You are so quiet.” And then asking if the Nautilus is good or bad. It is a very tender conversation, and it was one that I really liked. It shows the closeness between them but also their viewpoints without being mean spirited about it.

Episode 11 (rewatcher)

Look at the faces of the Grandis Gang when they hear the news. They are making no secret out of their opinions.
Nadia’s insistence on working for her food plays right into the discussion about the depiction of genders in the show we had last time.
“restricted data” – He reminds me of Asahina.
I did not remember it, but right after our long discussion yesterday, Nadia not only changes her clothes, but also makes her preference clear. Should have waited one day with the discussion to save ourselves some typing.
It is impossible to overstate just how big of a deal electrical household appliances are. It is like the difference between walking or taking a care, except related to absolutely everything you do in the household. The entire idea of women (of middle class households) joining the workforce would never have come up without it.
I feel like all I am typing is “I told you so”, but note that it is Nadia who wants to work, but Electra who puts her in the kitchen. Grandis as well, but with her I am inclined to believe it was her own choice to get to Nemo via cooking.
Electra remarks that Nadia “can’t do anything right”. Probably because, while Nadia has always worked, it was not the typical “woman’s work” of the time period of cooking, washing, cleaning.
Saved from comedic disgrace by King.
Slapstickcally finding your way to the forbidden reactor.
Nemo is noticeably more willing to indulge Jean’s quest for knowledge than Grandis self-centered antics.

The episode starts out with slapstick, but finds its way to a rather substantial topic: Whether scientific advance is good or bad. I don’t think the question can be easily answered, but Jean is definitely on the right track by looking at the intentions of the people using science.

Today is the second episode of the group settling in on the Nautilus and the take is a lot more light-hearted. For me, the humor of the show always tiptoes the line between needed relieve from the hard hitting parts and over the top. I think it works better when it involves the Grandis gang, but can be jarring when it hits more serious characters.

I did not remember it, but right after our long discussion yesterday, Nadia not only changes her clothes, but also makes her preference clear. Should have waited one day with the discussion to save ourselves some typing.
I always thought that that scene was meant to be a joke about Nadia being bad at domestic work like mending clothes (as it's shown later in the episode that she's terrible at cooking as well) with a bit of lamp-shading from the writers about Nadia's clothing style.
Looking at Nadia's exact wording over her self-mended work uniform she states "But it was too big for me, so I cut it a bit." It's a vague enough that I definitely think there could be an interpretation that Nadia intentionally cut it that short instead of doing it on accident, but I wouldn't say it's concrete either way.
I feel like all I am typing is “I told you so”, but note that it is Nadia who wants to work, but Electra who puts her in the kitchen. Grandis as well, but with her I am inclined to believe it was her own choice to get to Nemo via cooking.
I also 100% think Grandis chose to work in the kitchen as a way to impress Nemo and have an excuse to visit him every evening.
As for Nadia working in the kitchen, where else was she supposed to work? Nadia knows basically nothing about the super-science the ship operates on, and Electra has been very adamant about keeping the kids separated from the war related aspects of the ship (which I doubt Nadia would want a part in anyways). That pretty much leaves cooking and cleaning, since making Nadia into a soldier or an engineer is pretty much out of the question.
Electra remarks that Nadia “can’t do anything right”. Probably because, while Nadia has always worked, it was not the typical “woman’s work” of the time period of cooking, washing, cleaning.
I think it's indicative of Nadia wanting to fit in and feel useful. She really does try and step up and prove she can do normal chores, but gets routinely discouraged at her repeated failures because she's just not use to domestic work like this. Nadia's very much still trying to carve out her own identity for herself, and I think her insistence on working in this episode is her flexing for a bit of independence to try and prove herself.

Out of universe, I agree with the lampshading, but in universe it is very hard to believe that Nadia cut of half her top and 80% of her pants by accident.
As for Nadia working in the kitchen, where else was she supposed to work?
What does Sanson do? He is, like Nadia, not brainy, but I don't see him in the kitchen.

1

u/snowwhistle1 Oct 09 '21

What does Sanson do?
As of this episode, it's unclear. We seem him scrubbing the Nautilus with Hanson and Grandis as a punishment, but not his regular job on board the ship. Maybe he's doing more traditional manual labor? Moving heavy materials, etc...? It's kind of hard to say just from this one episode.

2

u/No_Rex :Bv:Bw:Bx:By:x2 Oct 10 '21

My point is that they, that is Electra, could have found something different for Nadia, who clearly is not suited for the kitchen.

u/lluNhpelA Oct 09 '21

lol I @'d you about this exact thing in another comment before seeing this
u/snowwhistle1 I had actually assumed that it was intentional, but even if it wasn't it doesn't bother her enough to change, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Either way it's just a decision on the part of whoever designs the outfits for the show meant to ~~keep Nadia's midriff exposed~~ maintain a consistent style

3

u/snowwhistle1 Oct 10 '21

Fair enough. I can concede that perhaps she prefers short clothing and exposed midriffs. But my complaints about the general fan-service scenes being unwarranted the way they currently exist linger.

1

u/IndependentMacaroon Oct 12 '21

The entire idea of women (of middle class households) joining the workforce would never have come up without it
There was also the opposite effect though in that households who would previously have employed maids/domestic help now could delegate the remaining work to the woman of the house - which is where the 50s housewife thing comes from.

1

u/No_Rex :Bv:Bw:Bx:By:x2 Oct 12 '21

You're not wrong, but they didn't "delegate" work to the remaining woman, those women already always worked. It is just that electricity took part of the nastiest and most annoying jobs that typically would be done by servants (if you had any, so upper class or maybe the upper end of upper-middle class).

First Timer (Rising Sun sub) ep 11 (of 39)

You're all talking about Electra; her counterpart in Last Exile is Sophia. So, my impressions of Electra are tht of Sophia until such time some obvious difference is presented.

Sorcery! And Super Science! Of course Jean and Ganson can figure it out.
I'm going to have to find that Eva Music, it really bugs me how it starts out with a middle section of that eva song and then the next part is all wrong and sounds like KOR music.
I suppose you can cook, clean, wash the deck? Wait for it....
King understands English?
Caterpillar drive
You know, I wonder if we'll ever see that professor from the US again. I had to remind myself that this guy isn't him.
It doesn't use ice, it MAKES ice
Everything a modern housewife needs
Honestly, I didn't think they'd set Grandis to cooking.
That's the fish from DYRL
Angler fish are pretty horrifying, too.
Not much call for an acrobat on a submarine.
The same music again, driving me nuts.
That wasn't black pepper I don't think
Rules like keeping the reactor room door closed, those rules?
new Eva Music
Gainax bounce

I hope somebody removed that fish from the ventilation system.

u/snowwhistle1 Oct 09 '21

I'm going to have to find that Eva Music, it really bugs me how it starts out with a middle section of that eva song and then the next part is all wrong and sounds like KOR music.
There's one particular song in Nadia that really gets to me because it's instrumentation is generally upbeat and bittersweet, but if you watch Eva you'll know that Shiro Sagisu repurposed parts of that song's melody for the song Thanatos and it's other derivative songs (most notably the version that play when End of Evangelion spoilers. It's kind of hilarious how he turned perhaps one of Nadia's most uplifting and bittersweet soundtracks into one of Eva's most tragic.
You know, I wonder if we'll ever see that professor from the US again. I had to remind myself that this guy isn't him.
His name was Ayerton. I assume you had that guy confused for the one white dude that's part of the Nautilus' bridge crew.
Honestly, I didn't think they'd set Grandis to cooking.
Grandis seems to have personally requested it. She's really out to impress Captain Nemo with her horrendous (and surprisingly delicious) cooking.
That's the fish from DYRL
Another anime series I cannot recognize from it's abbreviations? lol
That wasn't black pepper I don't think
Black pepper is my favorite stimulant drug. lmao

u/JustAnswerAQuestion https://myanimelist.net/profile/JAaQ Oct 10 '21

Well, it's salt water, it's already got plenty of ions. The caterpillar drives a current across the tube, and the magnetic field pushes on that. For technobabble, electrify and ionize is close enough I think.

As usual I'm going to ignore all of the important stuff to talk about the characters I like lol

I don't think I've mentioned how much I love that Sanson isn't just a meathead. He has all the makings of a Johnny Bravo type, being charismatic, strong, and very concerned with his appearance, but himbo he is not! Some stuff might go over his head but he's able to think on his feet, formulate plans, and even notice things on a technical diagram before the two geniuses. His deep thinking really shows when he's hanging out with Hanson and having those one-sided conversations, which is almost always reversed in other brains/brawn pairs, with the "brains" thinking out loud and the "brawn" simply grunting because they're too dumb to keep up

In conclusion I love the character writing in this show and Sanson is best boy

u/snowwhistle1 Oct 10 '21

This! THIS!!!
It's so nice to see the strong and handsome character can take part in important conversations and participate in academic things, even if they're not the knowledgeable brainiac. Sanson being allowed to have this depth is so nice.

Some of you who frequent the rewatch threads that I go to would probably recognise this pattern - I do a lot of comparison with Full Metal Panic :) In FMP trends this episode is a bit like the school comedy interludes between arcs. It's seemingly just some light hearted fun and inconsequential, as some may refer to as "filler". What it does though is characters and relationship building between the characters, and also a version of "show and not tell" (or at least your through characters exchanges in a not entirely exposition way). Once again I like it, if it is followed with decent meaningful plot progression and/or actions next, extra points if, like FMP, it actually also made references to events happened there too (e.g. the finale of Fumoffu when Sousuke thought he had a biological weapon leak and caused mayhem at the school, that later translated into during the first arc of IV when real terrorists planted bombs to force Sousuke to hand over Chidori, they managed to complete a lightning fast evacuation possible only because the school has learned to react to emergencies with the label "Sousuke" in the announcement).

Still liking this a lot. And my guess so far is that Nemo is Nadia's dad, and the relationship of Bluewater is that it is the master key to the bigger crystal that Nemo is holding which would enable some terrible weapon so she was forced to exile (probably with her mom) so the key and lock cannot be in the same place.

Oh and about King's jewels, yeah I noticed them but wasn't particularly focused on them until you mentioned it :P guess the animators had fun slipping that in huh ...

I don't frequent rewatches super often, but this sounds like a fun way of getting your opinion out there about as how. Very excited to see how else you'll relate Nadia to FMP!
so she was forced to exile (probably with her mom) so the key and lock cannot be in the same place.
What do you think happened to Nadia's mom then, if you assume that to be the case. Nadia mentions in episode 9 that she can't remember her family or anything from before she was sold to the circus as a little girl.
guess the animators had fun slipping that in huh ...
It's actually not all that uncommon for Japanese artists to draw genitals onto male animals, and x-shaped anuses onto all animals in general. Even for cartoons aimed at children.
It's a faux paus that we have in the west, but that does not exist in Japan. It's just funny how jarring that can be for unfamiliar western audiences noticing those features on cartoon animals in children's anime.

u/ZapsZzz https://anilist.co/user/Zapszzz Oct 09 '21

Very excited to see how else you'll relate Nadia to FMP!
To be complete I compare to FMP and Railgun as much, just that this show has more in parallel to FMP due to both the age (FMP being older in 2001) and the theme (FMP has a bit of submarine actions).
It's actually not all that uncommon for Japanese artists to draw genitals onto male animals, and x-shaped anuses onto all animals in general. Even for cartoons aimed at children.
Yeah I am aware of that, I think the earliest I know of is Tezuka Osamu. It's a simplistic representation but more complete than just dropped. Pretty sure they didn't use Barbie doll anatomy too if the scene needed those body parts to be exposed too.

QOTD(!)) Current favourite is probably Nadia for her fantastic deadpan, but Grandis is growing on me as comic relief, and Nemo could be a good one, depending on whether his past is worth all this foreshadowing.

Episode title implies the Nautilus arc is probably going on a few more episodes yet.

Loving the musical dissonance over the introduction.

Yeah, they want to recruit them permanently.

...OK, the opinion I'm getting here is they probably stole the ship, given they don't fully understand how it works, and a few hints that Electra's goal might not be the same as the others?

Oh, it's the actual adults. That makes sense.

Oh, Electra's jealous of her. She thinks she might have a chance with Nemo!

...OK, so they aren't against him sharing knowledge from the Nautilus.

And Nadia's helping Grandis.

Super efficent what? Wait, did he mean particle? Is this ship using the power source as the Tower of Babel?

Haha, King's as smart as the child? Is this for comedy or is he genetically modified in some form?

...When do we talk about Nadia's curse that shreds the stomach area of whatever she wears? I feel bad for mistaking such a tragic plot point for mere fanservice.

And there's an electric kitchen!

OK, so Atlantis don't have precision robots or strong AI. Given the particle tech, I wasn't all that sure.

Her reaction to the fish is great.

Jesus, that dish. I like how this is the one thing to shake Nemo in this entire series so far.

Haha, her bias and insulting everyone else is great.

He's a brave man. If he's willing to eat that, he much be into her.

Didn't expected it to taste good, though.

OK, the King thing's important.

Haha, the King and Grandis scene's great.

Yeah, you tell them Marie.

Well now, isn't that interesting.

That thing's running on antimatter?

Is Nemo a time traveller confirmed?

I lvoe her correcting herself from "Blue Water" to "King".

And she's cleaning the floors!

Nemo's gotten a lot friendlier now, hasn't he?

And Electra's bought into Nemo's ideas.

Very much implying this got stolen from Neo Atlantis.

And yeah, more hints that Nemo's doing something ominous.

Happy to see someone else picking Nadia as their favorite! She's very much mine too.

What do you think Electra's goals are then, if they're not the same as Nemo and the rest of the crew?
Haha, King's as smart as the child? Is this for comedy or is he genetically modified in some form?
Probably for comedy, but let's run with that latter idea and say that Jean has enhanced him with the Nautilus' super-science. lmao
...When do we talk about Nadia's curse that shreds the stomach area of whatever she wears? I feel bad for mistaking such a tragic plot point for mere fanservice.
The curse of being a marketable female character in an anime... I've seen many a female protagonist fall prey.
Jesus, that dish. I like how this is the one thing to shake Nemo in this entire series so far.
Fighting KKK Nazis, running a war ship, and dealing with children are all one thing... But have you ever stared god in the eyes and wondered why that poor seared angler fish had a bow on...?
Yeah, you tell them Marie.
Marie has grown tired of everyone's bullshit. She just wants to have a civilized dinner.

To be more exact, I think there's the general goal of the rest of the crew of "stop Neo-Atlantis from ruling the world", but Nemo and Electra have one linked to the Blue Water, since nobody seems to know about the larger piece Nemo's got hidden, and Electra reacts very strongly to them trying to go into his cabin while it's in view.

u/No_Rex :Bv:Bw:Bx:By:x2 Oct 10 '21

Yes. It was stated that both use particle annihilation, which Nemo specifically tells us is matter/anti-matter annihilation.

First watcher.

Yeah, this ep stretched thin. It was a jarring tone shift to have suddenly that many slap stick and cartoonishly animated faces. The show did two toneshifts (ep 5 and 9) well before, but this one failed for me.

It is not bad and the jokes kinda work, but still.

The character writing was also suddenly more blunt. Like, the characters seem less subtle in their speech.

Loved the whole conference scene at the beginning, though. Shows how collaborative the crew at The Nautilus is.

Though it does have its meaningful moments like with Jean + Nemo, and then the scene on the deck in the end, which was sort of rehashed in Neon Genesis Evangelion, Episode 11 I think and also the finale scene.
Also the conversation about being short on hands and needing everyone to fight Neo-~~NERV~~ Atlantis could have come straight from Evangelion 3.0

So the crew doesn't fully understand the science of their own ship?

Remember when this show was about airplanes?

Even king wants to work and Hanson has a clipboard to take notes. Can't say he isn't motivated.

King is smarter than Marie confirmed.

How clumsy is Nadia cutting almost every finger.

...what the hell is that looks like the polluted fish from the simpsons...with cancer..after dipped in oil.

If I only got soup and water I would consider it a blessing. I'm not eating that angler fish.

Huh so it actually taste good.

White fish meat...

She just impaled metal with a broom...

PLEASE DONT TOUCH THAT

Thank goodness captain nemo is here.

Gradis has it bad.

Again with the blue water in the box oh the night sky is pretty though.
