This is not in response to anyone in particular, but I've been hit with a sudden nostalgia for Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. You know what's a great, GREAT loving manga, that hardly ever gets talked about? Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Please read Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, it's probably better than anything you have read or are reading. That is my recommendation, to basically everyone.

What it should be is that you should buy the deluxe two-volume hardcover boxed collection of the Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind manga  .

and YOU should be so kind as to link to the amazon page for it for convenience for potentially interested readers. the only flaw with it is that the sound effects are, bafflingly, translated in a huge sound index in the back of the books. It's so weird and pointless.

Yes_Cantaloupe posted:Last season's ACCA is a great political story that's as much about the different cultures of the fictional country it takes place in as the political drama itself. It has an awesome OP and a fantastic soundtrack, too. Huh, never heard of this one. I'll check it out, thanks for the suggestion!

I've got this set and read the first book, but I'm really reluctant to start the second because there were never any good stopping points in the first (aside from the too few and far between chapter breaks). Clearly, the solution is just to read the entire thing without stopping, I guess.

Is the manga better than the movie? Because I remember watching that and being generally unimpressed.

Oh god yes. It's a middling at best Ghibli movie but it's a fantastic manga and a towering work of science fiction in any format. The two stories start in the same way but diverge rapidly very quickly.

The manga is about 10 times better though it does make Nausicaa into history's greatest monster

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Yuno is an antagonist for more of the story than not. Huh, I kinda don't see it. There's literally two plot beats in the entire story, that I can think of otoh, where she does something bad to Yuki that isn't either entirely by accident or given sympathetic reasoning: the mini-arc where she kidnaps him and the bit where she manipulates him into killing his friends. For the entire rest of the story, she's either unambiguously in his corner, or working against him for reasons you're expected to sympathize with, and the former still way outweighs the latter.

Strange Quark posted:Holey moley. I should probably clarify and say that what I'm arguing has next to nothing to do with whether she's morally in the right with anything she does. I am arguing that she is a protagonist, not a hero. Like, if we're talking about the character's morality, yeah, she's preeetty horrible. The wrinkle, however, is that Yuki really doesn't give much of a poo poo most of the time, pretty much only when it affects him directly. A character has to, like, conflict in some way with the protagonist to be an antagonist, and the two instances I mentioned plus the Third World are the only instances in the story where that actually happens and it doesn't just get swept under the rug in some fashion, and I feel super weird mentioning the Third World as an example of this because Yuki really comes off as a massive dumbass in that bit and I sorta feel like the audience is meant to agree with Yuno's take. e: also, Yuki ain't exactly a great person either. he's a huge dick to Yuno even before he gets a real reason to be one, he racks up a pretty decent body count himself (including literally murdering an entire orphanage side-by-side with Yuno), it only takes the absolute tiniest push to get him to gun down his best friends in cold blood, and he's perfectly content to let the world end so he doesn't have to kill Yuno at the end. Repeat, he sees the LITERAL ACTUAL END OF THE UNIVERSE as preferable to stabbing his girlfriend. She ain't exactly Lady Macbeth, they're more like Mickey and Mallory Knox.

Nate RFB posted:Akira is another classic manga series that is way better than its respective movie, for much of the same reasons as Nausicaä though it's not as good overall obviously. I still have the flipped Dark Horse volumes because to my knowledge a better/unflipped version was never released; would love to be corrected on that if that's changed. The Kodansha Comic editions are right-to-left and seemed pretty drat good to me  .

I still have my dark horse volume too, bought over many years and in three states and both coasts of the US. Anyway, Kodansha is putting out a new giant collection this fall.   https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/02/10/akira-gets-200-35th-anniversary-rerelease-kodansha/ I'm not sure if i love Akira quite enough to buy it all over again, but then again that looks pretty drat slick.

Asking for a lady friend of mine. She LOVED March Comes in Like a Lion and Apollo on the Slope, and was indifferent towards Nichijou and One Punch Man. That is basically all of my usable data. I think she's going for something plot heavy with interesting characters, not too much action and isn't too into "one-shot" kinda humor like Nichijou. Preferably something that has an end. Any ideas? p.s. She was also into moves like Summer Wars, 5cm/second, Your Name and stuff like that, but looking for a series to watch.
