My score 3/5

I'm on the rage of catching up with the best of anime from the 80’s and look what I’ve discovered today. Another gem by the director of Princess Mononoke and Kikis delivery service  Hayao Miyazaki came a wonderful anime named ‘Nausicaa-Vallye of the wind’.

Bundled with Simply breath taking endless creativity and imagination this anime speaks of a planet and times which is unknown to humans of our age. When a time where world is polluted and soil is toxicated by humans a young princess named Nausicaa desperately looks for answers in distant forests filled with giant insects and poisonous gases and trees.  While she tries to save the planet she have to face threats from other tribes and other dreadful worriers who wishes to conquer the planet and destroy the forests.

In an age where hand drawn animation was the ultimate and technology was far behind this anime does it wonderful magic quite exquisitely. Starting from the story line in to the characters and other elements it will keep you wondering from moment to moment. And most respectfully deliver a massage for the modern human race on keeping the balance of nature and loving it for our future survival.

 For 117 full minutes ‘Nausicaa- Valley of the wind’ deliver something extraordinary for all ages of the audience.
