I thought I'd cap off my immersion into Miyasakiworld this year by reading Susan Napier's excellent overview of Miyasaki's life and work. I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone that wants to delve a little deeper into the many wonders of Miyasaki's world.

The nature of ecological catastrophe in Miyazaki’s worlds is unnervingly plastic. His early films, which imagine giant, incomprehensibly powerful weapons that have unleashed irreversible destruction and threaten to do so again, are nuclear-age parables for a Japan that had suffered catastrophe without precedent. Later works such as “Ponyo” and the 1997 movie “Princess Mononoke” are more singly concerned with environmentalism. But the world has caught up with Miyazaki’s apocalyptic vision, and the ecological collapses of even his older works no longer read as metaphors for past acts of destruction but as reflections of the present and predictions of the near future.

Retrieved August 29, 2023. Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind" is one of my favorite movies ever. So it is with great humility that I say that I like the manga 20 times better than the movie. It's the most beautiful story I've ever read. I actually got goosebumps reading some parts. I would definitely put it in my list of top five favorite novels. Ante el desinterés de las editoriales —especialmente de aquella que posee los derechos en España— por reeditar este manga de superlativa calidad, me decidí a comprar la versión inglesa. Y no me arrepiento. Hace justicia por completo a la obra, algo que no es del todo habitual. Está compuesta por dos grandes tomos que reúnen los siete volúmenes originales en algo más de mil páginas. Ambos contienen varias ilustraciones a color, además de un póster que los acompaña. ¡Y hasta cuenta con un apéndice con la traducción de las onomatopeyas!

What I really enjoy is that there really isn't a clear "bad guy" here. It's a pretty complicated political system that Nausicaa finds herself in the middle of. Her intentions are clear - stop the senseless killing and learn to live with the land. At times she comes off pretty anti-human, but I think that's a part of her personality that Miyazaki successfully explores. Fuge, Jonathan (October 3, 2023).

Film journalist Hiroo Ōtaka noted the industry's astonishment at the rapid box office achievement for the film's unconventional "minimalist promotion" strategy. The success has evoked mixed feelings among industry insiders, with distribution representatives expressing concerns to Ōtaka, fearing the challenge of this no-promotion strategy on their livelihoods and the necessity of traditional advertising methods. In addition to this marketing strategy, Ōtaka identified two important aspects of the film's commercial success. The first is that the deliberate approach of leaving the film by itself capitalized on its existing fan base by generating discussion and interaction on social media. He also mentioned Ghibli's earlier works, regularly featured on Friday Road Show for a decade, indirectly promoted the film. [103] Critical response [ edit ]
