Making that short run especially bittersweet is that the Nausicaa anime covers only a small portion of the entire storyline, with the remaining events of Miyazaki’s Nausicaa manga never adapted to any other medium before the kabuki play, which takes the audience through the complete saga. So it’s kind of ironic that despite the Nausicaa anime’s popular longevity, the Nausicaa kabuki stage adaptation ran for less than three weeks before its final curtain on Christmas day last year. The first original Hayao Miyazaki theatrical feature is one of the most beautifully realized films ever made, and continues to be a must-see for anyone with an interest in anime, even more than three decades after its 1984 release. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind has a special place in history. You can enjoy the first-ever complete adaptation of Hayao Miyazaki’s original story from the comfort of your couch.
