"Kaze no Tani no Naushika", or "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" (known to fans as simply '''Nausicaä''' or '''Nausicaa''') is a 1264-page graphic novel written and drawn by Hayao Miyazaki. | "Kaze no Tani no Naushika", or "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" (known to fans as simply '''Nausicaä''' or '''Nausicaa''') is a 1264-page graphic novel written and drawn by Hayao Miyazaki from 1982 to 1994. The story reflects Miyazaki's self-proclaimed interest in the social role of technology and nature, as well as in strong female characters. While Oni's Wilderness, born of the [[BioCrisis]], seems to be inspired by the toxic wilderness in Nausicaa, the story was never stated by Oni's developers to be an influence on the game. | ||
The movie features a dramatically shortened plot | The manga was adapted as a feature-length animated movie in 1984, directed by Miyazaki himself and produced by Studio Ghibli. The movie features a dramatically shortened plot, and it was adapted early in the life of the manga, it omits the story's "true ending" that came a decade later. Notably, the movie also simplifies the story by leaving out the Doroks and Shuwa, instead focusing on Kushana's misunderstanding of the Forest. | ||
