Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa Chapter 59 Discussion

Good stuff by Miyazaki. Over 90% of his stuff is high quality. Was thinking a 9, but went ahead with a 10.

Series gave a bizzare feeling, at time it was really good, simply amazing and at times it made you question - just why? Why?



So yeah, that's rare that I encounter something so contradictive, and I doubt it was made on purpose, as it only added to confusion - did the author just throw smart words and philosophies randomly without realizing everything fully himself or he tried us to get confused(again, why for either of those? Oo)..



Guess I will let it stay as something half mysterious to me - weak 9/10 for me, a combination of art flaws and story flaws were not enough to give it 8, but it only barely touched the 8.6 or so in the end.



It's realy weird how such experienced author managed to make some scenes seem organised as if they were done by an amateur, also it barely improved over releases, so I doubt much effort was put on that part.



Pretty sad, seeing how the idea itself was 10/10, but guess it was just too hard to realize it fully.

Finally I got to see a story driven by the characters and their actions instead of a mysterious force that triggers all the events. Man angers the nature and everyone pays the ultimate price for his mistake. Well done Miyazaki.

Reading this was pure joy but the last few chapters seem very rush which is shame because the story overall is masterpiece. 9/10

Took me a long time to finish this one. I initially read the first volume, but I felt I was pretty confused, then I went on and watched the movie, then started reading the manga from the start again. Some parts about the war were confusing, but I'm sure I'll understand more when I reread this some day. The art was stellar, Miyazaki really is unbelievably talented. He's so good at coming up with fascinating worlds and settings. Nausicaa was a great character and the story was a good ride all the way.



I actually liked how the ending was open, since I feel like it fits the manga perfectly.



10/10, would read again, very solid manga.

Very good overall, but I think this ending is underwhelming. By the end, I was actually rooting for the master of the crypt, seems like his vision is better in the long term. It feels as though nothing was really accomplished by what Nausicaa did, when she dies human will simply repeat the same mistakes.

8/10Because you can't understand

Hmm, not a big fan of the ending message.



I don't think discarding the past and forgetting about it would make the new world better. A better way to not make mistake is to actually remember the old technology and how dangerous it can be when misused. Eventually, by forgetting the past, the same mistake will be repeated again.
