Nausicaa has always been my favourite Ghibli film. So I recently decided to buy the manga and it's just..... Breathtaking. It completely elevates the characters and story compared to the film. It truly inspired me to start volunteering and be more selfless to others. Just amazing. I wish more people knew about Nausicaa.

Nausicaa: easily a beloved classic all should enjoy and never forgotten! It's narrative, themes and vision should be reflected upon with optimism and a chance to grow.

This is remarkable mini documentary. Nausicaa of the Valley is a Classic Film that deserved to be told thoroughly.

40 minutes of meticulously edited and illustrated content. Good shit ✨

Me every 5 words: "Damn thats crazy!!!" Those dudes really worked to the bone and beyond Its a miracle miyazaki still alive ô_ô

This has always been my favorite Anime movie. Even when the only thing available was the Warriors of the Wind VHS I watched that over and over for the music and what little it had about the toxic jungle. Now I’m getting a masters degree in soil fertility and ecosystem restoration, so thanks Nausicaa! Also, I can tell you that what the Toxic Jungle does to purify the land and groundwater isn’t that far from reality. Fungi really are able to detoxify almost anything given the right conditions.

I swear Nausicaa is floating around in the collective consciousness right now because I have been drawn to the bluray on my shelf for the past month and I finally took it out, rewatched it, and cried for about an hour afterward. This is honestly his best film in some ways. They’re all amazing and everyone has a Ghibli film that speaks to them more than others, KDS and The Tale of Princess Kaguya are actually my personal favorites, but I think this is Miyazaki’s masterpiece.

"If you like sausages, don't look at how they are made" - I love the film and adore the manga and they both look perfect to me, learning that the making of the film was such a warzone is a bit of a shock so thank you for this illuminating video essay!

I've owned all the manga since I was 8. Such a deep and fascinating work that I appreciate more and more as I get older.

This video has everything: an inspired audio - visual presentation, insights on a tumultuous creative process delivered through the authors own accounts and sharp reflection on alienation and apocalypticism in post-war Japan. Bravo, this truly a magnus opus of your own! P.S. Thank you for making me discover @Pause and Select, he made an excellent contribution and I can't wait to discover his content too.

Nausicaa of the Valley of the GOAT

Man I wish this video had existed back when I did a massive report on Nasicaa for my Environmental Literature class as my final project in college. There's so much more background I had no idea of that you covered. Thank you for including a detailed document of your sources. I will definitely be taking a look at some in my free time

Still working on the subs but they should be okay for now

As always, a pleasure. It's really nice to learn about the history of all the art we've consumed & Ghibli's origin stories are pretty interesting. Thanks again

Such an interesting story behind the conception of one of the best animated films in decades. It has everything from the struggle of the animation process to Miyazaki's classic pessimistic attitude. Seriously, this is a visually capturing video with a structure that feel informative and interesting.

Man, what an enlightening video. This cross section of Miyazaki's early work is really revealing, and it's something I haven't heard discussed much on YouTube and certainly not in this much detail. Bravo.

The manga is amazing, Kushana will forever be a warrior goddess to me.

I can't believe you got Gigguk to do absolutely nothing for this video! Made it that much better.

Dude the production of this video is amazing. I'm tired and looking for a video to listen to whilst I doze off yet your voice and drawings keep me glued to the screen. Seriously, this is a great video and will keep me awake for the full length. I'm loving you're content
