   To be honest, I've yet to see a complete version of the anime (I've seen   
   the US dub "Warriors of the Wind" but I fully accept that, while this does   
   show Miyazaki's visuals, it is an edit and a very dubious dub).   
      
   However, just as with many stories of this kind, I can also accept that,   
   if you were to try to get the whole story into a movie, the length would   
   be excessive and the cost far too prohibitive. So I can accept that the   
   movie, in its original form, is likely to only cover a section of the   
   overall story as it was in the manga. I can also accept that this can,   
   sometimes, lead to a dissatisfying experience for those that have read the   
   manga. I well remember the wealth of gripes about Akira, for example.   
      
   It has been a long time since I last read through Nausicaa. Probably about   
   five years or so ago, in fact. I remember, though, that I got a lot of   
   pleasure out of the reading. I was a little disappointed in the ending,   
   but I can accept that the story would have deteriorated had it attempted   
   to go further. I've seen more than one story that could be improved by a   
   heavy trimming of dead weight storylines.
