This is a subreddit dedicated to Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind (風の谷のナウシカ "Kaze no tani no Naushika") by Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎 駿).
About
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (or original: 風の谷のナウシカ) is a manga created by Hayao Miyazaki from 1982-1994 with some pauses in between. In 1984 an animated movie with the same name was released, whose great success led to the foundation of Studio Ghibli.
Manga vs. Anime
If you only watched the movie, then definitely check out the manga. The movie only covers ~1/4 of the story and the ending is different. In the manga the story goes way deeper and a lot of characters aren't featured in the anime.
If you have only read the manga, the anime is quite different and also worth watching. The soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi alone is a huge plus point.

The first appearance of Kushana, the Corvette, and the wormhandlers

Me and my friend made a playlist of atmospheric drum and bass that seek to capture the vibe of a chase scene in the Sea of Corruption. It's a bit of an hypothetical Nausicaä video game OST, in a way

My Ohmu print
This print in place Ohmu is pretty sweet. The segments are joined in a chain to allow it to flex and bend! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6660028
Don't use supports but do use a raft. The front appendages are tricky to get right and it might be better to print it a bit larger.

It bothers me how callous Nausicaa is with Teto.
Other animals wear masks, why can't she make Teto a mask?
She didn't even seem to care that her dangerous stunt of standing in front of an insect stampede could kill Teto. I know Teto would stick with Nausicaa, but she could show some worry for him. I know many things were on her mind, but she could acknowledge him a little.
It seems out of character for her, and it's something I dislike about her.

Anyone know how to find Nausicaä in Russian? Or a certain video.
Hello, I love the Russian language, does anyone know where I could find it dubbed online? I was looking for a video of the ohmu flashback scene, which I have watched in Russian on YouTube. I thought the voices were fitting and I would like to relive the experience. There was one moment on the end where Nausicaa's crying voice began to sound like the squeaking if an ohmu baby. If anyone has any info, it would be much appreciated.

My "friend" (archenemy) is convinced that Nausicaa's flight suit from the beginning of the manga (pre dorok dress) is brown. So far we have had about 5 separate arguments and 2 ace attorney recreations have been made of them. (Will elaborate on the specific arguments in the replies)

Similarities between Nausicaa movie and Godzilla vs. Kong
Similarities:
A misunderstood but highly destructive monster (Ohmu in Nausicaa and Godzilla in GVK)
A weapon or entity that almost wiped out the human race being used by people who really should know better (Nausicaa: God Warrior; GVK: Mechagodzilla/King Ghidorah)
People who believe they can control nature only for it to backfire TREMENDOUSLY (Tolmekians and Pejiteians in Nausicaa and Apex in GVK)
Giant flying serpentine creatures (Nausicaa: Hebikera; GVK: Warbats)
A hostile location filled to the brim with giant organisms that carries secrets of its true nature (Nausicaa: Sea of Corruption/GVK: Hollow Earth)
A doomed homeland (Nausicaa: Pejite/GVK: Skull Island)
A female lead trying to disprove the public's view of the destructive monster (Nausicaa: Er... Nausicaa for the Ohmu and the Sea of Corruption/GVK: Maddie trying to prove there's more to the situation with Godzilla)
Furry creature (Nausicaa: Teto/GVK: Kong)
Disagreeable female character (Nausicaa: Kushana/GVK: Maia Simmons)
Caravan attack sequence (Nausicaa: Asbel's attack on the air caravan/GVK: The Tasman Sea Fight)
