The Nausicaa movie is great - I have a deep love for it. It, however, cannot compare to the manga. That, and while half of the soundtrack is wonderful, the other half is rather ass. I'd love to see a Japanese company take a cue from Lord of the Rings and produce a live action, three movie retelling of the Nausicaa story.

It's a real shame that it has taken this long to get a decent version of Nausicaa released in the country. The Warriors of the Wind release was atrocious, and while a "real" release was later planned, it was stopped because of either fansubs, or the new version getting out before it was officially released. (If the stories that I've heard are true.)
