While I love the movie, Nausicaä and the Valley of the Wind shows how deep the universe is and amazing Miyazaki has always been. I particularly am fond of how the diverse characters, plot lines, and nations interact over the seven volumes. I feel very similarly about these stories as I do Dune, but while they share certain environmental themes, their arguments about messianic figures differ. I can't wait to read it again.
