An epic fantasy written and illustrated by the legendary director Hayao Miyazaki! An addition to the perennially popular line of Studio Ghibli art books—which include interviews, concept sketches, and finished animation cels—of classic animated films such as Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro. Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind , based on his own manga, was released in 1984 and has been a cult classic ever since. In a long-ago war, humankind set off a devastating ecological disaster. The earth is slowly submerging beneath the expanding Sea of Decay, an enormous toxic forest that creates mutant insects and poisonous spores. Beyond the sea lies the Valley of the Wind, a kingdom of barely 500 citizens and home to Nausicaä, who risks everything to save her people and bring peace and health to the valley. Includes sketches, developmental water colors, cel animation, and more.Trim Size 8.25 × 11.85 inches Review: Great Condition! - Got it for my best friend of 7 years for a holiday present, arrived in perfect condition and she loved it.

Wonderful “art of” book
I have bought most of the “art of…” books about Miyazaki’s films and they are all wonderful. I love seeing so much of the behind the scenes of these films I’ve enjoyed. There is an abundance of quality pictures from every stage (pencil sketches all the way to finished still from the movies). I look at this book all the time for painting and drawing inspiration. I highly recommend if you are a fan of Miyazaki or animation.

I had no idea what I ordered, it was a Christmas gift
This is a beloved Christmas gift. It is literally stills from the movie (to my knowledge currently available on Max or Netflix). Had I known it was still shots I may not have ordered...so I'm glad I didn't know in advance...what we do for the ones we love. It really is lovely and appreciated.

We finally get the 'Art of' version of Nausicaä
A few years ago I went on a Miyazaki art book kick and got all of the VIZ editions. At the time, Nausicaä was oddly absent, but in its place was the collected manga and a larger Watercolor Impressions book that didn't 'match' the dimensions and presentation of the other 'Art of' books. Well this year it was finally rectified and we have the Art of Nausicaä proper. As with the other books, this is a collection of the pre-movie conceptualized sketches and art as well as some final cells from the anime feature. The paper is relatively heavy, glossy and attractive like the others in the series (note the Watercolor Impressions book is heavier stock but matte vs. glossy). There's about 20 pages worth of explanations of the special effects employed in the movie and further editorial stories from the serialization of the manga. A great book all told, recommended! (j4.)

Semplicemente splendidi
I libri di questa collana sono bellissimi: illustrazione a piena pagina, contenuti e curiosità sul film. Soprattutto da guardare e immancabili per chi adora Miyazaki. Da collezionare tutti!
