   That's my feeling.  I love the manga (faults & all) because it felt like   
   it reached the logical conclusion of the world he created.  With   
   Nausicaa the anime, I felt, "Is that it?"  So she saved an Ohmu, so   
   what?  The manga further explored why people were fighting and what the   
   Sea of Corruption and Ohmu really were.   
      
   Also, I still love Nausicaa's relationship with the giant in the manga.
