Sorry to bring up such brand name film but do I have to read

I'll bump myself

The manga continues for like a decade after the films was made.

>>150513640
Yeah I know it's a long ass series but do you know of its worth? I'm willing to dump time on it.

>>150513691
Yes, it's very good.

>>150513480
It was okay

>>150513730
>>150513761
Ok thank you

>>150513480
Read the manga. Not for the movie, but because it's good.

>>150513480
The manga is 10x superior to the film.

>>150514028
I agree with this though the movie is still pretty great.

>>150514028
Doesn't have the music desu

>>150514087
Indeed. I bet fucking normies have never watched it, despite they claiming to love Studio Ghibli and such.

>>150513480
Its my favorite anime movie and I tried to read the manga and it just wasn't that great imo.

>>150513480
Manga is a totally different work than the film. Both have their merits, but don't think of the manga as a continuation.

>>150515367
It's not TOTALLY different.

>>150515367
The movie was based on the first two volumes of the manga

>>150513480
Just read the doujinshi.
You know which ones.

>>150515470
Bug nipple?

>>150513480

>like the fantasy settings from Ghibli movies like Nausicaa, Mononoke, Howl, Earthsea, Laputa, etc
>nothing else really has the same feel to it

Is there anything else that has a similar feel to the Ghibli movies? I'd really like more fantasy stuff that has a grand sort of feeling to it, but it seems the bulk of stuff these days is focused on action or tits.

>>150515470
No, they were disgusting.

>>150515525
I wish I knew

>>150515525
Seirei no Moribito you retard

Is the manga nearly as continuously tragic?

>>150516616
iirc Throughout the manga, Nausicaa slowly exhausts herself, growing thinner and more fragile as it goes because of her determination to see things to the end.

Future Boy Conan

>>150515525
You should start reading manga then.

I'm bored and depressed after beating XV so here's Ch. 1.

>>150517433
>>150517447

Anyone ever figure out what geographic area this map corresponds to?

It still baffles me how Miyazaki managed to write something as good as the Nausicaa manga. He's generally a very mediocre writer, as some of his later movies like Howls and Ponyi made obvious.

>>150517561
The darker the story the better

>>150517618
Howl's was one of his darkest movies and one of his worst scripts.

Friendly reminder that Master Anno Hideaki has the rights to Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

>>150517561

Its clearly his magnum opus: the story that he wanted to tell all his life and poured every ounce of himself into for over a decade of his life. Considering most artists never produce a masterpiece, we should consider it a miracle he's still put out anything of quality at all after Nausicaa, even if they don't measure up.

>>150517561
I liked Howl's honestly. I know it gets a lot of hate, but the atmosphere, characters, and soundtrack kind of made up of for the mediocre plot. Ponyo I'd agree was kind of shit, but it seemed like he was half-assing it or something.

>>150517508
Yeah, I think I remember reading some speculation once.

Maybe it was the Caucasus?

>>150517706
He doesn't. Miyazaki gave him some unofficial permission to make a sequel if he wanted. But that's all, and we all know he would much rather do another Godzilla.

>>150517508
This is really a hunch, but I thought it looked a little like The Caucasus.

>>150517750
I like Nausicaa but it's not quite masterpiece level. I do agree that it is his magnum opus in terms of writing though.

>>150517753
Howl's only redeeming aspect was its production values, same with Ponyo. Any good ideas that did show up came from the original book, while all the bad ones like that random-ass war or Madam Suliman came from Miyazaki's awful writing.

>>150517777

Nice quads. There does seem to be some superficial resemblance to the Caucasus, but or that to be true though it would mean that the Earth's geography has changed so drastically that the Black Sea has become enclosed and that the Caspian has become part of the ocean, or that the Doroks and Torumekians simply haven't charted out the land beyond their territories.

>>150517851
I did think the character interactions were actually pretty nice, and Miyazaki used the plot as a sort of backdrop to the love story. Doesn't excuse all the points you mention that even pissed me off when I was a ten year old kid (Madam Suliman especially made me angry, I expected more out of her but she was just thrown in), but I still liked it for what it was: not his best film, but still enjoyable.

Still though, he wrote a lot of the other films that were good. Laputa, Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Totoro were all his writing, so just because he fucked up on a couple doesn't mean he's shit in general.

>>150517821
The layouts are so bad.

>>150518011
His panelwork is weak. Thankfully, that's the only weakness of the manga.

You read the manga and watch the movie no matter what order because both are once in a lifetime masterpieces

>>150517596
So these are giant robots
Were they from other country than giant biological murder bots?

>>150517462
where did you get this from?last time I tried to find nausicaa the scans were all trash

>>150514197
There is no such thing as a non-normie. You haven't become extraordinary or in anyway special by watching anime obscure or otherwise.

So does Nausicaa take place in the same universe as Laputa?

Why are Kiki and Nausicaa so underrated and Laputa and Spirited away so overrated?
Laputa might even be his worst film yet everyone likes to pretend its a masterpiece

This. I could never look at her erotically in any way. She's the purest of pure. At most she is for hugging and cuddling while looking at scenic vistas.

I can see it on Goddess, but what's it's eng status?
Batoto tells me it's officially translated in english but last update was at vol7 more than a year ago.

>>150519058
Nausicaa, Laputa, Future Boy Conan, Nadia, Evangelion and now Shin Gojira all take place in the same spiritual series.

>>150517753
The problem with Howl is that Miyazaki took a fantasy book about a guy who ran away from our world to become the most powerful wizard yet still couldn't discard his pussy grabbing ways and got in trouble for it and turned it into an anti-war drama

>>150517777
I see where you're coming from, but doesn't the North on the map of Torumekia mean that it can't be the Caucasus?

>>150520068
>[Miyazaki is being overly modest here]

>>150520068
>>150520215

>Nausicaa was a mistake. Its nothing but trash.

>>150520096
I think he was trying to balance these two points. Trying to stick to the source material and do his usual anti-war stuff, and by doing so just ended up making each of the individual parts worse.

>>150520068
Thanks anon.

To my opinion greatest (seinen?) manga ever.

>>150520068
This is reminding me of that snarky eulogy he wrote fro Tezuka's death.

>>150522393
It's very very obvious how much Miyazaki borrows from Tezuka when reading Nausicaa. The man's just tsun.
>>150522332
Was Nausicaa the only manga Animage published? It doesn't really belong in any category. I disagree though, I'd still put Berserk or Kingdom above Nausicaa when it comes to war epics.
>>150520215
>>150520264
He really isn't that great of a manga-ka. Nausicaa's great because of it's incredibly detailed art, rich world-building and strong characterization. But the paneling was always kind of awkward.

>>150519222
She's actually pretty hot

>>150522497
as an anime only fag I guess I wouldn't be able to distinguish bad paneling

>>150523908
You probably would honestly. It just reads awkwardly at times, with weird scene transitions and tons of exposition stuffed into big speech bubbles.

>>150522497
>Kingdom
It's just a fun nekketsu in a historical setting.

>>150518974
Probably organic-mechanic hybrid beings

>>150524307
Still portrayed war and combat in a much rawer way than Nausicaa. The high brow tone kinda hurt the manga in that regard.

Don't underestimate fun. It's the difference between seeing dudes bisected by glaives over and over badass and seeing insects slaughtering humans yet again tiresome.

specially in that one doujin with the good art

>>150517561
Howl is an adaptation, Ponyo is him not giving a fuck, but Spirited Away is excellant.

>>150524182
I honestly don't think it's that bad. I like how ridiculously wide all the panels are. Because of course Miyazaki was used to working in movie widescreen. It sets it apart from most.

It also cannot be understated how influential this manga is. Oda and Togashi have both cited this as an inspiration. Plot similarities aside, Togashi has these very horizontal panels like Nausicaa.

>Howl is an adaptation

Bad excuse >>150517851
