No worries, and sorry for taking so long to respond. I've been watching a fair bit and getting back into reviewing of late. Plus I'm incurably lazy.
Yeah, what got to me about the island and Africa episodes was Nadia. She'd been uptight prior to those episodes, though she clearly had feelings for Jean. Then, all of a sudden, using some form of foreign logic, she felt it was right to reward Jean for getting high on mushrooms (when he was supposed to be looking for medicine) by kissing him. After that, she transformed from being a bitch towards him to liking him seeing her naked. It all happened way quickly.
And, as you know, the Africa episodes made everything a whole lot worse. As soon as Nadia set her eyes on a well-built African guy, she forgot all about Jean, not giving a damn. She was willing to give herself to him; not giving poor Jean a second thought. It's little wonder those episodes were ignored once they were over.
One other aspect of Nadia that bothered me was how useless Jean became after joining the crew of Nemo. At first his inventions helped Nadia... but then he did nothing. At the end, during the final confrontation, he basically just stood there. Clearly not enough planning went into how to keep him useful for the duration of the story.
Still, I do like Nadia overall. I'm glad I imported all 11 volumes via SecondSpin. :)

I normally stick to that tactic myself, but it seems I also suffer from foot-in-mouth disease occasionally too. Thanks for the reply, I feel a little bit easier now -- I've been habouring a guilty feeling in my chest for while.

Sorry about my bashing, I know I did sound like an elitist myself -- I edited my post though to make it respect everyone's opinion, to a certain extent.

Hey. I'm messaging you just to say I think your Nadia reviews are spot-on; I even gave the series and 'movie' the same ratings as you.
With your review of the TV series, you could've mentioned how certain parts of the plot, such as how/why Nemo got his sub when he could've got a space ship, or why Gargoyle had an army of weaker submarines and ships when he knew where the best were hidden, but aside from that I have no issues.
You could do with upping your anime count. Your reviews are very good but, unless you've watched a lot, you can't compare one against another very well. Not that it matters if you're objective enough not to rate 10/10 for enjoyment alone, I guess...

Oh that's a shame :( . The DVD is becoming rare now-a-days I see. Thanks for explaining the dub to me, sounds interesting. I heard Freeman was really interested in this anime, and pushed hard to get the role he got. he was enthusiastic about the entire thing.

I saw you listed "Night on a Galactic Railroad" as one of your favorite dubs. That's one of the CPM titles I've wanted for a lot time, you have it on DVD? Your so lucky if you do. The cheapest I found it for was around $50.00 and I can't justify spending that amount of money for a sinlge movie. I never saw it so it would be a blind buy too. How is it? What's the dub like (I know you like it but explain a little I'm interested hehe).

Ah no problem. I really enjoyed your review. I always try to say something to a reviewer if they impress me.
And yeah I love Lisa Ortiz. She's one of my favorite voice actors. I will have to check out "Record of Lodoss War" now. Sense it's by Madhouse that makes me even more xited to check it out. I do love their anime. Thanks for the suggestion. I will get around to buying that one day, haha.

I really enjoyed your review of "Now and Then, Here and There". You really summed it up, and I like how you reviewed the dub as well.
