The Nausicaa manga kept going after the release of the anime, developing a deeper story, but that's no knock on the anime. It is a gorgeous movie with rich post-apocalyptic mythology and an amazing heroine. For those that think they could never feel emotions for giant insect monsters, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind will likely change their mind.
