		The titular Nausicaa is the princess of the Valley of the Wind, a small, peaceful kingdom by the sea.
		There is a never-dying rumour that Nausicaa isn't wearing any underwear, and there are a few shots of her bare behind, but she is actually wearing pale-coloured trousers, and the skirt-type garment is just her coat (everyone else is wearing one in later scenes).
		Nausicaa is yet another addition to their already high quality catalogue of animation.

	Nausicaa, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
		Nausicaa is the Phaeacian princess who met the shipwrecked Odysseus when she was washing clothes on the shore.
		It was then that Nausicaa learned the details of Odysseus' plight, and having observed his manners, she understood that the man was no fool.
		That is why Nausicaa did not care about who or what was behind Odysseus' afflictions, but instead declared that he, having come to such a country and city as hers, would not want for clothing or whatever else an outcast naturally may expect from whomever he meets.

	Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind (Kaze no Tani no Naushika) - film reviews
		Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind is one of the true landmarks of animated cinema.
		The heroine, Nausicaa, is a chieftain’s daughter, lives in a small nation in a protected valley, and shares an empathic bond with the insects of her world; she firmly believes that humans and insects can peacefully coexist, despite the ever-present threat of the growing forests.
		Nausicaa struggles to hold the Ohmu back, but her leg is pushed into the lake; she screams.

		The illustration shot of Nausicaa in her standard gear and fully armed while an ohmu is off behind her in the distance at least gives some idea as to the show, it's almost a bit too mellow I think.
		The insert for this release uses a picture of Nausicaa from the film with some of her countrymen behind her and lists the chapters for the film while the reverse side is boxart adverts for other Ghibli titles.
		The story of Nausicaa, even pared down from how the manga series went, is one that has become easy to recognize because many of the things that he's done here have carried over into all of his other films.

	Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984)
		Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind was Hayao Miyazaki's first chance to direct a film featuring his own characters, and he used that chance to fashion a fantasy world so complex and believable that it could be compared easily to the worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien and George Lucas.
		Central to all of this is Nausicaa, princess of the Valley of the Wind.
		Nausicaa's insistence that mankind must try to co-exist with nature (however hideous) rather than try to defeat it is the predominant aspect of her personality, and that idea is also one of the movie's central themes.

	Nausicaa
		Nausicaa is the daughter of the King of the Valley of Wind, a small kingdom caught in the middle of a political power struggle when an Imperial cargo ship carrying an inactivated God Warrior crashlands in the valley.
		Faced with the danger of military forces seizing her peaceful land, and moreover the danger of the warring nations destroying all humanity, Nausicaa travels the world in an attempt to find out the secrets of the Toxic Forest which may hold the key to obtaining the only means left to save the world.
		While Nausicaa is definitely Ghibli's coolest, ultimate kick-butt heroine, what makes this movie so unique is the strong-willed princess's vision that compels her to "understand" the Toxic Forest and the process in which the nature once laid in waste is trying to heal itself.

	Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds - TV Reviews - TV & Radio - Entertainment
		Hayao Miyazaki's predecessor to Princess Mononoke is Nausicaa, an intrepid teenager from the Valley of the Winds, a pocket where humans have survived since the dark days, a millennium earlier, when industrialised society collapsed under the weight of war and environmental insanity.
		Toxic spores from the jungle poison the air but thanks to sea breezes, Nausicaa and her neighbours are able to live using wind energy.
		In the climactic scenes Nausicaa's love for all animals turns back a stampede of mutant caterpillars, the Ohmu, which threaten to destroy what remains of her homeland after Kushana's bodgies set fire to the toxic forest.

		I can tell that he was particularly found of Nausicaa, as he devoted three pages to her in his small dictionary, but gave only one to both Zeus and Achilles.
		Nausicaa's parents worried that she might fall in love with Odysseus and pressured him to set sail.
		Unfortunately, unlike Nausicaa, the "princess that loved insects" never had an Odysseus wash up on her shores, nor songs to sing, nor foreign lands to wander in, to escape society's restrictions.

	Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
		While exploring the poisonous forest, Princess Nausicaa and her people are drawn into a conflict between two warring nations that threatens to destroy them all.
		Nausicaa combines traditional elements of high fantasy: a war, a prophecy and a princess with a Japanese post-apocalyptic wasteland: a world being inexorably consumed by a poisonous forest spread by airborne spores and giant insects.
		Nausicaa is an incredible journey that shows Miyazaki as a true auteur even at this early stage of his career.

	NAUSICAA OF THE VALLEY OF WIND
		For Miyazaki, the Nausicaa manga was a side project he worked on in between his many brilliant animated films.
		The Nausicaa we see here in the later volumes is not the two-dimensional messiah figure of Miyazaki's (excellent) 1983 animated film of the same name.
		In fact in several interviews (here's one example) he refers to the angel as the "girl of bird" or a better translation would be "bird girl", which is the phrase he has often used both in the manga and in interviews to describe Nausicaa.

		There are grand, visionary sequences—as when Nausicaa soars between the clouds on her glider—quiet moments between friends, political machinations, and even moments of broad physical comedy, as when a gang of heroes commandeer a tank but don’t quite know how to drive it.
		Nausicaa is the most dynamic character in the whole of the cast: she accepts nothing as inevitable, and charges in to break the stalemates engendered by others.
		Nausicaa puts out her hand, shows she’s not afraid, even allows the animal to bite her to show that she will not attack.
