Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984)

Calling all Tolmekians: it’s a series premiere!!!!

Today we take flight with the Princess of the Valley of the Wind for our new Studio Ghibli series. What a dream (of madness)!

For the next few months we’ll be fully devoted to the works of Miyazaki, Takahata, and the entire Ghibli collective. We hope you’ll join us in the Sea of Decay! The water is fine (it’s only mildly acidic and poisonous).

Next week, it’s the first true Studio Ghibli film, CASTLE IN THE SKY (1986). Join the conversation on our Discord at https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx and get more Eye of the Duck on our Patreon show, After Hours https://www.patreon.com/EyeoftheDuckPod
