I find it interesting that she has a high body count for a heroin in an animation.
Also you can find the manga on amazon if anyone is interested.

That’s interesting about the manga and I agree with you about Nausicaa. She learns a lot and is a flawed ruler who tries her best. I really felt bonded to her by the end. It’s a more hopeful film than Princess Mononoke and so I find I’m more drawn to it sometimes

I love it’s complex environmental and anti-war themes and it’s message about how humans can destroy the environment are still relevant today. But it never feels overly preachy and like the later Princess Mononoke, it doesn’t have a simplistic view on morality but shows everyone involved have their own reasons that can’t be easily summed up in simplistic good guy versus bad guy terms. Nausicaa is such a wonderful heroine that makes you want to believe in her. I love the scene when she realizes how traumatic her engaging in violence was even though she felt she was justified in vengeance at the time and the supporting cast is so quirky and weird. The 80s animation still looks even more beautiful than even a lot of modern anime do and I love how haunting the music is. The Disney dub is really good too and I love Patrick Stewart in it as Yupa. There’s also a manga in English the movie is based on that’s written and drawn by Miyazaki. The manga actually continues the story than the movie as the movie only covers the first volume of the story but I’m not sure if it’s still available in print. But the whole manga was released in English.

I found it a little jarring at first but it won me over with its amazing lead character and world building. Nausicaa isn’t just a bland pacifist but a complex leader. I was rooting for her throughout

Such a great article and getting me to want to see it more!!

I found both the conflict and protagonist Nausicaä to be rather boring, especially for an epic. Still an okay movie, though.
