has anyone else read this? It's by Hayao Miyazaki who also did Spirited away and Princess Mononoke. "In a long-ago war, humankind set off a devastating ecological disaster. Thriving industrial societies disappeared. The earth is slowly submerging beneath the expanding Sea of Corruption, an enormous toxic forest that creates mutant insects and releases a miasma of poisonous spores into the air. At the periphery of the sea, tiny kingdoms are scattered on tiny parcels of land. Here lies the Valley of the Wind, a kingdom of barely 500 citizens; a nation given fragile protection from the decaying sea's poisons by the ocean breezes; and home to Nausicaa. Nausicaa, a young princess, has an empathic bond with the giant Ohmu insects and animals of every creed. She fights to create tolerance, understanding and patience among empires that are fighting over the world's remaining precious natural resources." I was given volume 1 for Christmas but I haven't finished reading it yet, I was just wondering if anyone else read and enjoyed it? Nausicaa herself is very cool, Miyazaki named her after a Phaecian princess in 'The Odyssey' by Homer (which I also have but haven't read, lol)

Another by Miazaki. ^_^" He does so many. This is one of the older ones right? I was trying to read the manga of it. But the words were so crammed into the bubbles, that I didn't want to read it at all. But, I kinda find it funny about the Odyssey thing..XD

It's been out for a long time (it ws originally released in 1984), but I think it did get re-released just recently. See here: www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/nausicaa/for more information. I haven't read/seen this one yet, myself, though I thought I had the manga around here somewhere...

I haven't seen it on dvd... I wouldn't mind seeing it though. I still haven't finished reading the manga (really, there aren't enough hours in the day!) Soon though...
