Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984)

'Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind' is a stunning animation that is both entertaining and emotionally rewarding. Set in a bizarre post-apocalyptic world where gigantic bugs called Ohms are creating what humans call the sea of decay. An environment completely toxic to humans. Spiking a war between the many human tribes and the Ohms. There's so much detail to devour that it's two hour runtime flies by. At times the talented hand drawn animation is all thats needed to keep it's audience captivated. Very talented craftsmanship in every detail. Even the soundtrack and sound design was top notch. It's the first studio Ghibli movie I've seen in over a decade so I think it's an easy watch for those new to this scene.
