    If you have a chance I urge you to find the Nausicaa manga, Hayao Miyazaki is one of the masters of sequential art and the story was not completed at the time the movie was done, which is why the ending feels to not really have resolved anything (at least it does having read all of it). The manga expands the scope, themes and characters to such an extent that as a story and a visual narrative it dwarfs everything Ghibli has done put together.

    It is a masterpiece.

      Excellent – thanks for the recommendation. Seeing the film, it does feel like its a story that would benefit from having more time to explore the characters and the world. I think the film does an adequate job, but could be improved.

    Correction: GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES was indeed worked on by Studio Ghibli, but they were hired by a different production company.
