Viz Media, Subs. of Shogakukan Inc Nausicaä Of The Valley Of The Wind Box Set

This is the first movie I watched from Studio Ghibli, even before their name change.I loved everything about the movie, and this product is perfect to express my appreciation.The only con is that the covers are really hard and rough to open, they can’t be oped fully without leaving marks or even damaging it; eventually and over time and multiple uses.

If you liked the movie the you’d definitely LOVE these books!

Excellent quality and a really beautiful edition. Loving it!

Bonne alternative à la version en 7 livres séparés, beaucoup plus onéreuse. Si vous savez lire l'anglais et que vous voulez l'histoire intégrale à bon prix, foncez! La reliure et le format coffret sont de qualité. Le poster est assez médiocre, mais quelle importance ? Avoir l'intégrale pour moins de 40 Euros c'est une bonne manne.Récit, bien plus développé que dans la version "film/anime" ; plus violent et sombre aussi. Les livres sont très denses et la dynamique de lecture entre les cases plus lente, et un style très sobre ; moins fluide à lire que les mangas modernes. Ici on se rapproche davantage de la BD à l'ancienne.La narration est un peu confuse par moments, mais la qualité d'illustration et la richesse du récit compensent. Les thématiques du récit telles que la place de l'homme dans son environnement, la fatalité des conflits armés ou même le rôle des religions et des croyances sur les civilisations, sont abordés sous un angle neutre et dénué de manichéisme. Une très bonne oeuvre, plutôt adulte.Good alternative to the more expensive 7 books version. The box set and the bookbinding quality are good. The included poster is kinda "ehh", but who cares ? Having the whole story for less than 40 Euros is a great deal.The story is way more developed in this comics version than its "anime" counterpart. This version is also more violent and darker. The two books are very dense and the transition between frames is more low-paced compared to more modern mangas with dynamic strips. Here the style is more sober and looks like an old fashioned comics.The narrative tend to be a bit foggy from time to time, but the illustration and story are great nonetheless. The best thing this story does is to broach topics such as the place of mankind in the nature, endless conflicts or the importance of religion in human civilizations, in an objective way without falling into the "Disneyish Good vs Evil" cliché. Very good story, more oriented for an adult audience.

Good story, beautiful illustrations, good paper quality.
