The tale is growing trickier to follow, but not so much that I couldn't grasp it after a bit of thought and the occasional re-read of a page. It remains engaging and entertaining, well-written and -drawn.
Ok, I hooked. I love this story.
I cannot believe how different the story has become! I really love both versions, but the manga is definitely more developed and involves so many more story lines and characters. I love how I get to experience Nausicaa's story over again, but at the same time, much of it is an entirely new narrative. There are a lot more war/military plot points here, but Nausicaa's connection with nature and the animals still shines through. I actually cried at the end of this volume. It is really, really well
I feel like this is the volume where the pieces are finally starting to come together. Plus, I love the "frenemy" going on between Nausicaa and Kushana. They are both such strong, independent, thoughtful leaders that it would be a disservice if they didn't find some common ground. And I get a thrill from the priests being scared of a "little girl" - prophecies can be a powerful thing.
Not quite as compelling as earlier volumes because this volume is a very long battle that seems to mostly serve as a set up to an even bigger battle. However, I still feel like I'm reading a classic fantasy series like 'Chronicles of Narnia' or 'Lord of the Rings' and the artwork is pretty much the best there is, so no complaints.
This is such an amazing work of fiction! The world building is simply astonishing and the characters are all very well thought out and portrayed. The ending of this volume left me in tears.I really wish there was a continuation of the movie Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind because the story is so amazing and beautiful more people need to know about it!!!I read this graphic novel for the Winter Cramathon 2016 and it completed the challenge:-Read a graphic novel/manga
This is getting better and better. I have no idea how much of the story they must have cut down for the movie version to just be rated PG, though..
I liked this one alot, so far a favourite.
review after the final volune
When I first watched Warriors of the Wind, I fell in love with the story (I even have it on VHS). Then they remade it and the story changed. I loved it even more. But the graphic novels are far beyond my expectations. I am not use to reading GN, much less reading from right to left, so this is a wonderful challenge. I am very happy that I have taken the time to read the novels though, as the story is so much deeper than just the anime.
Nausicaa continues it's third rollercoaster environmental and war disaster in this the third volume. The people continue to be mostly despicable and short sided and the few that aren't continue to be caught up in the deadly schemes of the war mongers.The blight and miasma continues to spread. It has even started killing the insects, something that is very concerning to Nausicaa. Plus some new characters are introduced that might have something in common with Nausicaa's strange gifts. I love the
Art remains super cool. The story remains mostly impenetrable. It really feels like there is a story in there somewhere. Certainly too many ideas. Reading this feels a little like a torture marathon - certainly it isn't all that easy to read.
My experience with this was pretty much the same as with the previous volumes.
This is seriously getting more interesting and exciting with every volume, which is weird for me cause normally I don’t care for action war stories. The movie only covered up to volume 2 and now I’m wishing that the movie got a sequel or just that this got a series instead of a movie because DAMN this is so interesting and I would love to see it animated.
i really must say, i prefer the format of graphic novels over manga. it's so much easier to read, mainly it's because the cells are lined up in a linear fashion instead of the typical large triangle, elongated vertical rectangles, along with the square horizontal cells. anywho- the story has really picked up steam! so glad i checked out the third one from the library! i'm totally going to have to go tomorrow to trade it in for book 4! i'm kind of surprised i like this series so much since it's s...
Another great volume in the series. We get to see a lot of Kushana's character in this. She cares deeply for her men, and in return they care deeply for her and are very loyal. Nausicaa is great as well, as she comes face to face with more evil and war.Love it so much!
Another great segment of this story. A thoughtful portrayal of war and suffering. I enjoyed the development of Nausicaa and Kushama as characters in this volume.
I think this is the one where I really fell in love with comics. I mean madly, passionately in love, because I was already pretty smitten but I don't think I had ever seen or read anything like the sortie from the besieged garrison. Rereading it now years later I think I can still safely say it is the best depiction of battle that I have ever read or seen in any medium. It is the greatest piece of action narrative I know of, at any rate.Travelling through Dorok territory with Kushana, Nausicaa d...
This one was a little heavy on the battles and a little light on plot, it seemed; nothing seemed like it wasn't necessary for later plot development, it's just that this particular volume was a little dull compared to the ones that came before. It's all even richer and more interesting than the film, though.
So much war and destruction, it’s terrible. The last part made me extremely emotional and upset. That made the story have a great inpact on me, i jus can’t wait to read the next one. I still have hope that the forest will stop spreading and that the humans and insects will live in peace.
