Today.. Is a good day...

I get to review one of my all time favorite animated films....

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

So, sit down on your glider thing,

and let's soar!!

SPOILERS

0000000000

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is based of a manga series of the same name, it was created by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki. This movie tells the tale of a young woman named Nausicaa, who is the Princess of the Valley of the Wind (duh.) and her struggles in the post apocalyptic earth. Well, on the topic of that, the setting is the earth long after an apocalyptic event caused by the “God Warriors”. This world holds a vast forest called the Toxic Jungle... which, as the name suggests, is toxic and kills humans in a matter of minutes. But its toxicity is not the only dangerous thing, there are huge bug like creatures that inhabit it (YIKES!!!), including the largest one of the bunch, the Ohmu, which resemble pill bugs (rolly polies).

The struggle arises when a ship piloted by the Tolmekians, supposedly the largest civilization left, crashes into the valley, bringing the toxic spores and the giant ass insects into the peaceful area. Nausicaa arives to help, but comes too late to save another Princess, this one from Pejite.. Another large city state.

To make matters worse, that was not the worse that the doomed ship brought, it also contained an embryo of the last surviving God Warrior (the guys who destroyed the Earth).

So, after that, its up to Nausicaa to stop the Tolmekian's plan of reviving the God Warrior and using it to destroy the Jungle, which she finds is not actually bad...

Where to begin....

This is one of the best animated films in the history of animated films...

The plot, the characters... the Score! The score is incredible!

The score holds one of my most favorite movie songs... “Days Long Gone”.

The characters are emotional and truly fulfill their parts, either being a main character or secondary... Serious or just comic relief... All the characters are amazing...

Nausicaa breaks the “damsel in distress” cliché to a billion pieces... She is a great leader and strong young woman.. But kind and gentle as well.

The movie is filled with many positive messages, but also somewhat violent scenes... So little ones be weary.

I greatly... Greatly... Recommend this to anyone who loves anime, but also to everyone.... This is the best anime has to offer.....

In the cover it says: “Hayao Miyazaki's Epic Masterpiece”

I totally agree.... Hands down, no argument... Totally agree..

9.5/10... my score... good job...

Hayao Miyazaki... GG, Mr. Miyazaki... GG..

You made your heavenly contribution to us mortals, text me when you get to Valhalla!
My most favorite anime film ever!

Hope you enjoy!!
