   That comment you made about it reaching the logical conclusion of the world   
   he created is very appropriate.  Although conventional wisdom holds that   
   Miyazaki preferred film to manga, the fact of the matter is his Nausicaa   
   manga was a far more extensive project in terms of time than any of his   
   films.  Although he could have stopped many times and took quite a few   
   breaks he stuck with it until he produced the logical conclusion you   
   referred t.
