I've been curious about Nadia ever since watching a few episodes TV way back. So in 2017 I rewatched the whole series. The touches of Hideaki Anno and early Gainax can be seen throughout the show which is great. Many scenes reminded me of Gunbuster and Evangelion. But as a series it’s a bit less focused in its storytelling and stuffed with filler episodes, likely to be more family friendly. So I decided to create this AMV to highlight the core story and animations. Nadia is more than what you see in this AMV but these are the parts that brought me the most joy.
I got the idea for this AMV back in 2017 after releasing my Gunbuster AMV 'Finest Hour' and it stuck with me ever since. Recently it became more of a gridlock in my passion for editing. I didn’t want to give up on the concept but felt that after two years of waiting i might never come to edit this six minute long AMV. I laid some ground work in April 2019 and edited some 20 seconds as proof of concept to see if this AMV could actually work. Then it took me until late March 2020 before i actually got around to start editing the whole thing.
The name was inspired by the 2017 Churchill movie and is also meant as a reference to my aforementioned Gunbuster AMV. I first heard the song 'Afterthought' in the 2012 'Apparences Fireworks Remix' by Nostromo. The first shot with the Eiffel Tower and the fireworks is meant as a nod to that. Special thanks to my beta testers ceddic, JadeCharm, Noss, Sojiro, Streicher, VideoBeats and Zest for the support.
