| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- You can tell they wanted to make a sequel, not sure why they never did. I liked it, but a lot of it could have been condensed and/or improved upon. Though part of that is probably the fact that I've seen a lot of these themes many times before and at least some of this story has been cannibalized by other works that I've read/seen/played. |
| Yeaahh, still a bit unsatisfied by the ending. But still, imagine Nausicaa be remade, by nowadays animation quality Epic. |
| Hmm, not a big fan of the ending message. I don't think discarding the past and forgetting about it would make the new world better. A better way to not make mistake is to actually remember the old technology and how dangerous it can be when misused. Eventually, by forgetting the past, the same mistake will be repeated again. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I would agree that the ending message was questionable . . . However, as a whole . . . Maybe I'm just blinded by my love for Miyazaki's other works, but this was amazing. I mean truly a great manga, definitely deserving a spot in my current top 3. 9/10. (My one complaint actually would be with what was up with the first crypt she visited? I didn't ever understand why that was there . . . But that was probably due to me misreading something, or perhaps a few pages missing from the scans I was reading) |
 |
| I felt the ending somewhat fell flat, but otherwise this wasdefinately agreat manga, one of those that leave you feeling empty and spent when it's over. I especially loved Nausicaä, I think she avoided most of the typical pitfalls the wellmeaning healer girl -types usually fall in. |
| Series gave a bizzare feeling, at time it was really good, simply amazing and at times it made you question - just why? Why? So yeah, that's rare that I encounter something so contradictive, and I doubt it was made on purpose, as it only added to confusion - did the author just throw smart words and philosophies randomly without realizing everything fully himself or he tried us to get confused(again, why for either of those? Oo).. Guess I will let it stay as something half mysterious to me - weak 9/10 for me, a combination of art flaws and story flaws were not enough to give it 8, but it only barely touched the 8.6 or so in the end. It's realy weird how such experienced author managed to make some scenes seem organised as if they were done by an amateur, also it barely improved over releases, so I doubt much effort was put on that part. Pretty sad, seeing how the idea itself was 10/10, but guess it was just too hard to realize it fully. |
| I initially planned to give it an 8 but I was very compelled to give it a 9 I must buy a physical copy as soon as possible |

| I think I'll settle on 8/10 for now, since it did tend to drag at parts and keep repeating itself, and there were parts that were hard to follow what was happening due to the art. Overall a good read though. |
 |
| Finally I got to see a story driven by the characters and their actions instead of a mysterious force that triggers all the events. Man angers the nature and everyone pays the ultimate price for his mistake. Well done Miyazaki. |
 |
| Good stuff by Miyazaki. Over 90% of his stuff is high quality. Was thinking a 9, but went ahead with a 10. |
 |
| It's been quite some time since I enjoyed manga so much, maybe I am a little biased because I am Miyazaki's fan but even so. Surprisingly rich story for merely 7 volumes which even had around 160 pages average. It felt it was a lot longer. Ending could be prolonged a little bit more but all story-lines around characters were pretty much wrapped up, so I don't have a problem with that. |
    |
| Took me a long time to finish this one. I initially read the first volume, but I felt I was pretty confused, then I went on and watched the movie, then started reading the manga from the start again. Some parts about the war were confusing, but I'm sure I'll understand more when I reread this some day. The art was stellar, Miyazaki really is unbelievably talented. He's so good at coming up with fascinating worlds and settings. Nausicaa was a great character and the story was a good ride all the way. I actually liked how the ending was open, since I feel like it fits the manga perfectly. 10/10, would read again, very solid manga. |

| Reading this was pure joy but the last few chapters seem very rush which is shame because the story overall is masterpiece. 9/10 |
 |
| The ending does feel a bit abrupt and I kind of wish we got to see what happens to the world towards the end. Anyway, I enjoyed this a lot. I really liked Nausicaä, which is weird because I usually dislike characters like her. |
| Almost every character in the story is likable in their own ways, and the concept and themes blend together well due to great writing and art. The story and characters reference many other works, but each reference is a matter of satisfying execution. Top 8 Favorite series of all time, 9.5/10 |
| This ending was a tad rushed, but satisfying. Condemning the past technologies is a bit harsh message IMO, however everything else such as worldbuilding and atmosphere was on point. Nausicaä was a big text wall most of the time, but I must admit it was worth it. |
