Relation As Books Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Vol. 7 (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind #7)

I need six stars for this volume. No, I need sixty. I can't even begin to react to this. The story, the incredible and wonderful characters, the world and its mind-blowing history... to describe and evaluate them is beyond my capabilities. What I will say is this: This series was finished long after the movie we all know and love was released. And while said film was the start of something wonderful (Studio Ghibli, to a large extent), I wish the manga had been finished first. If the film followed the manga to the letter, it would be an epic to rival Lord Of The Rings. And I cannot say that lightly. But I will explain why I say it. One, length; a proper Nausicaa film would be at minimum double the length of the original, and likely closer to triple or even quadruple. It would probably be broken up into several volumes, and that would be fine because this story is worth it. Two, scope; though their focuses and messages are different, both Nausicaa and LOTR are about really, truly, saving the world. Three, power; in this respect, at least for me, Miyazaki surpasses Tolkein. I have this mental image of a world in which Nausicaa is as long as it deserves to be on film. There would be day-long gatherings to watch Miyazaki movies, culminating appropriately enough in Nausicaa. Groups of fans would sit in awe for hours, so enraptured that their popcorn would go cold and the butter on it congeal. Drinks would sit abandoned until they went flat- or until someone punching the air in jubilation missed the air and knocked them over. Still, no one would dare pause the movie. And afterwards, when night had fallen (as surely it must), they would all sit back and close their eyes and rest in amazed stupor. The philosophical discussion that would arise when everyone had reconfigured their brains would be lengthy, and morning light would find this imaginary group still hard at it, arguing about morality and war and environmentalism and peace and nurturing and history and truth and faith and love. And more than that. I wish Mr. Miyazaki would make that movie.

Commentary Regarding Books Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Vol. 7 (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind #7)

As with other comics/manga series I will write my review for the whole series on the final volume, because I think it makes little sense to review each installment individually. On the whole, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is a beautiful, melancholy work by now-acclaimed filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, creator of such classics as My Neighbor Totoro and Princess Mononoke. It leans closer to the latter than the former, and plays with many of Miyazaki's favorite themes; lost innocence, redemption for

Hayao Miyazaki... How could I possibly describe this creative genius? Ever since I discovered his existence, his breathtaking masterpieces have rooted themselves deep inside of my mind and heart. His works resonate with me, they leave a mark, they produce emotions and sensations so beautiful, so unique, that I can't even explain them. His storytelling is astounding, the worlds and characters he creates are so rich and fascinating, and his art is stunning. Nausicaä is one of the best things I

Amazingly different from the movie, I think I like the movie better because of those who didn't die and it had a happier ending. I did like that fact we got more information about the forest and how the world came to be. I did like this version of the story though, with teto didnt have to die (sniffle)

Great ending. I actually bought Vol.7 years before the rest of the series; found it in a local bookstore, and learned a few days later they are unable to order the rest because it was out of print ( I tend to do stupid things when in a bookstore, like buying the second or last book in a series and then asking about book one).It was a long wait, but in the end totally worth it.

After 1,000 pages of this, I can say that it's really quite brilliant. It's easy to see how it influenced things like Final Fantasy and a host of other things. It's actually the first manga I've ever read, and I sort of have a hard time believing anything will be much better. If you've only seen the film, it's worth reading this. The film is sort of a condensed version of the first two volumes, that consolidates a lot and skips a lot of the coolest things, I think. It's a great adventure story
