FAP-122 Nausica of the Valley of the Wind - The Movie That Was Ghibli Before Ghibli

This week was a great choice and one movie that we both loved. It was a great story but what makes this one really interesting is that this Studio Ghibli movie is not technically a Studio Ghibli because it actually came out 1 year before the studio was created. It was the first movie directed by Miyazaki and it was also based on the manga that he wrote. All that aside the music is great and the animation even stands the test of time and it is worth the watch no matter who you are or your preference.


Next Up: Tokyo Ghoul Season 2
