"The Secret of Blue Water" & "Neon Genesis Evangelion"...What should I say more about these two pieces of art, personally considered as best anime ever? Both were made by Gainax, both feature two geniuses such as Hideaki Anno and Yoshiyuki Sadamoto in the staff...

That's one of the reasons to the fact that Evangelion is full of [official and not] references to Nadia, that kind of things fans (me, for example JJ) go crazy for. There are similarities about characters’ design and psychology, topics discussed and even scenes faithfully reproduced !

But, first of all, remember that this section features HEAVY SPOILERS about Nadia, Evangelion & The End of Evangelion !!!! So I suggest you to wait visiting this part of the site until you watch all of them (or simply read the synopsis J)

Important notes!!
(especially the third one)

• Apart from official/obvious references, I've added EVERY similarity between the two series I could think to (you know, the staff was almost the same for both anime, so a lot of things in "Evangelion" recalls "Nadia"). So please don't send me e-mail such as "AARRGGHH!!!! How the hell can you compare this part of Evangelion to that one in Nadia???? ARRRGGHH!!!" etc etc J

• I had to split this section in five pages (soon they may become six) due to the large amount of images (more than a hundred). If you've more similarities to suggest, please send me an e-mail J

• You may wonder...How could Max avoid that this section will end as "Nadia Vs Atlantis", copie...ehm...no, "stolen" is better—especially the images—by 2–3 people who also had the effrontery to say it was me (!) who took images from their "sites" (!)?? Simple! And, just to avoid misunderstanding, I'll tell you how! Before making this section (first days of January 2002), I checked and checked and checked the Internet for similar comparison between Nadia and Eva...believe me, I spent much more time surfing the Internet for this reason than making this section! Anyway, the only two sites mentioning something similar (with just a few references/comparisons) are these ones: 1 & 2 . That means that even a dumb person will understand the original source of images and so on if, someday one day, another site will show a series of comparison as the one you're going to enjoy (I hope, at least JJ).
