Consumes more than alf of the Earth's natural resources, contributes with more than half of the world's polution, and has broken pacts such as Kyoto's, making the world go back 25 years in environmental protection development. But what is THE message of this movie (not only this movie, but also from other environmental-subjected films and series, such as "Future Boy Conan")? Basically, that we should not continue making the sames mistakes. We shouldn't just pretend it's not there. In 20 years, drinkable water will be as rare as oil in most countries. In some places it is already. We should not put other interests such as "profit" in front of it... It is our future and our children's future in sake here, but, unfortunally, some people will just close their eyes and pretend it's not happening...

Oh please don't tell me you've bought into this alarmist bull crap, Ric! Humans aren't going to destroy the world, and the problem is hardly being ignored. In Nuasicaa it is the people like Kushana, who want to attack the problem head on, who are in the wrong. Remember. The swamp is the only thing that is purifying the water. The environment is fixing itself with or without human intervention.

I don't uite remember the ending of that piece of crap, but you could be right... Lots of movies rip off ideas from anime. Disney blatantly steals from anime on every single movie it makes.


Piece of crap? What are you talking about? I was reffering to the third Matrix movie when Neo is supended on the Jack-in wires (Nausicaa on the Ohmu tentalces) and they star glowing... and the reason he is there is to protect his people from a swarm of insect like machines (the stampede of Omhu), and Neo gets absorbed by Smith (Nausicaa getting pulverized by the stampede) Then you cant really tell if Neo is dead or not, just like it's ambiguous to whether Nausicaa died or was just healed by the Omhu.

I allways took the ambiguity as: Yeah, Neo's dead; he couldn't want to live without Trinity, and Nausicaa didn't die, but was repaired by the Ohmu (since they clearly put their tentalces first in her wounds.)

I think that Solo vs Jones has officially revealed himself to be insane. Pretty much any US cartoon from the eighties has TERRIBLE animation. Thundercats I thought looked decent, but it still was no Miyazaki.

I can't say I like the facial styles that Tartakovsky uses for the clone wars, but the Animation is so fluid it doesn't really bother me all that much.

Mario 64 is pretty sweet, and a good showcase for what the DS is capable of (it easily looks better than the N64 version)

It comes with a demo for Metroid Prime Hunters, which will be extremely sweet if the controls are tightened up a bit before release.

Other than those, the only DS app I've played is Feel the Magic XY/XX, which is fun as cheese, but it is almost as good an argument against stylus gameplay as it is for it.

I did see it. Great anime by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli.

Now, first of all, what version did you watch it? There's the original version, and there's the american version called "Warriors of the Wind". The american version butchers about 20 minutes of the film, alters the plotline and changes the dialogue - it is so bad, compared to the original version, that Miyazaki said he wanted to burn every copy (like GL and the holyday special). Was there a scene in which Nausicaa dreams about her past while being engulfed by the Ohm's tentacles? If so, congratulations, you've watched the original version.


Yeah. I got the new Disney release. Still, I'd like to see Warriors to know what was cut and stuff.

I think you've missed the point. Earth was destroyed by men, but even so, Earth managed to cope with that destruction and create a perfect "balance" of it's natural resources, animals, and the polution. At what cost? Mankind was confined to small villages, always afraid of the polution madness it has created. I think it's a great environmentalist film, it's just that it's upbeat and positive about the future.


Earth is devestated, but in a past long forgotten; everybody just assumes that it was done by humans. I don't think it were possible for humans to pollute the whole earth, especially by accident. And being up-beat and positive is what I was talking about; that is the exact opposite of the accursed modern environmental movement, which wants you to believe the world is ending and it's all America's fault.

If you want to see a good environmentalist anime, watch "Future Boy Conan" (a 1978 anime masterpiece also by Hayao Miyazaki).


I might see it if it was animated by Miyazaki, but not because it is environmentalist.

By the way, the scene with the giant warrior - my favorite in that anime - was animated by Hideaki Anno, who, 11 years later, created and directed Neon Genesis Evangelion. So I guess I can see where part of his inspiration for Evangelion came from...


I've not seen much of Evangelion, but I thought that the movements and such of the big red Warrior seemed sort of familiar.

There was something else I really wanted to type, but I forget it now, darn it!!

I think so. I know he's the only main character I'm going to redub. I'm probably also going to wind up dubbing the analysis robot from the deleted scene, so I'll be able to omit the "diner scene".

Actually, now that I think of it, it would be a lot easier to redub Natalie Portman, too. But there are two problems with that: 1. I would have to go back to Episode I (and Episode III) to do the same thing. 2. I know of no woman on the planet that would do that for me.

I'll be posting screenshots eventually!


I think it would be awesome if I had some female actress frends and stuff. I'm sort of a writer/creator myself so... Anyway, I hope your project.
