Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

Regarding Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (風の谷のナウシカ, Kaze no tani no Naushika), I have wttched it on TV for a few times.
I suppose it's also one of Mr. Miyazaki's masterpiece. And picked up two YouTube Videos. Please enjoy Videos below.


Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (風の谷のナウシカ, Kaze no tani no Naushika) is a 1984 film by Japanese writer, illustraiter, and filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, based on his manga (漫画; マンガ) of the same name. The movie has environmentalist undertones and was presented by the World Wide Fund for Nature when it was released in 1984. Nausicaä is ranked as one of the 50 greatest science fiction films by the Internet Movie Database.  

The story takes place 1,000 years after the "Seven Days of Fire", an event which destroyed human civilization and most of the Earth's original ecosystem. Scattered human settlements survive, isolated from one another by the Sea of Decay (腐海, fukai). Literally translating as the Rotting Sea, Sea of Fungus, Sea of Corruption or Toxic jungle in the English version, the Sea of Decay is a jungle of giant plants and fungi swarming with giant insects, which seem to come together only to wage war. Everything in the Sea of Decay, including the air, is lethally toxic.



The primary protagonist, Nausicaä, is a charismatic young princess of the peaceful Valley of the Wind. Her name comes from the princess Nausicaa  in the Odyssey  who assisted Odysseus, and is transcribed into Japanese as ナウシカ, pronounced [naushika].
