struggleexistence of humans = corruption of the worldrtc
And here I thought this series was turning a corner with the last volume. This one I found even more obscure, even more hard to follow. As always the art is still cool. And there may still be a story buried under there somewhere. But it was hard for me to track anything in this one.
Such an amazing story...and so applicable to real life!
I'll have to re-read The Odyssey now that I know where Nausicaa comes from and the Heedras aren't fooling any one. We all know they are bloodthirsty cyclops.
The Purification has begun. The mutated mold continues to spread its killing miasma. The Ohmu journey towards the mold bringing the original sea of corruption with them. And the Dorok and Torumekian armies retreat in the presence of such awesome powers. We also finally get to meet the Divine Emperor Namulith (definitely a sociopath) as well as some of his disturbing genetic experiment soldiers as he seeks to combine the two empires and rule them both in the aftermath.The action definitely ramps
This is a great volume and really ends on a cliff hanger it will be interesting to see what happens in volume 6! I really like Chikuku he is cute!
Read it, loved it still want to be Nausicaa and the protect the world and have mysterious power. The manga is bit more fantasy than the anime with more fantastical elements and other mystical elements. I enjoyed that a lot actually. (I still may enjoyed the anime better maybe)
Things are getting very bad indeed. Yupa and Nausicaä figure out their own parts to play.A special, sensitive story.
Still love this series but this volume was more action than any character or plot development.
This volume ties so much of the first stuff together that it is almost like waves crashing on a beach. It seems as if it should be over but there is another wave that is coming behind. Still connected to the ocean but also apart. Really crafty writing.
My favorite volume so far. Dang, Kushana is such a badass!
A masterpiece if I ever read one!
The daikasho is in full flow, the mutant slime molds are converging, the Dorok empire has ousted his younger brother, who held the real power because of his supernatural powers. The Dorok lands are over-run with dying insects sprouting the seeds of a new fungal forest poisonous to humans. The people flee and famine, pestilence a long, bloody, futile conflict over the remaining patches of clear land seems inevitable. The forest may be a natural process to clear toxic pollution from the ground, bu...
A must read for any one, but especially for Miyazaki fans. A hatd hitting environmental warning story. Is man kind doomed to destroy itself? This volune has some good charactet development and a suprise ending. I love the interactions between all the characters as well as we find out different sides to them all.
The message that we humans are destroying the world we live in is stronger than ever. Nausicaä never gives up trying to understand the ohmu, I hope that she’s allright.
The book is very great.
Nausicaa has proven to be one of the greatest stories of ecological disaster. It shows all sides of the spectrum of human involvement; those causing the disaster, those trying to prevent it, and those somewhere in the middle just trying to survive.
This is my absolute favorite volume so far. It has all been incredible, but this was especially moving. Nausicaa is a beautiful human, and her need to save the ohmu and the planet at large is both inspiring and heartbreaking. She is willing to die for her cause, and the immense passion she evokes is such a blessing to experience. Miyazaki knocked this one out of the park. I think I like it even more than the film, which is so surprising. His illustrations are breathtaking and haunting and someti...
Excellent character development of Nausicaa in this volume!
The seminal Miyazaki is a sight to behold. His themes have much of their essential properties so early on in his work, and yet the variations on these themes never fail to capture additional material. Compare Future Boy Conan with Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea and Castle in the Sky and you notice how similar they are while being arresting for different emotional tones and qualities. Conan's boyishness and utter innocence, Patzu's bravery, and Ponyo's watery energetic magic have the same amount of
