After a global war, the seaside kingdom known as the Valley of the Wind remains one of the last strongholds on Earth untouched by a poisonous jungle and the powerful insects that guard it. Led by the courageous Princess Nausicaä, the people of the Valley engage in an epic struggle to restore the bond between humanity and Earth.
Warriors of the Wind, the American edited version of this movie was the first anime I ever saw.
Even then, well before knowing how good the actual Nausicaa was, I felt like this was something special. Everything from the now-famous Ghibli art style, the Joe Hisashi music, and the post-apocalypse story makes me feel the warmth of nostalgia.
