By anime standards, Nausicaä from Hayao Miyazaki’s classic does not have a ridiculously large chest. But Miyazaki has said that the size of her bosom does have meaning, it seems.

The anime Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind was released in 1984. For the past few years, there have been rumblings about a sequel. But now, more than ever, it feels like that the long overdue sequel could happen. Here's why.

Miyazaki's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind - or as I knew it as a kid, the butchered Warriors of the Wind - is one of the greatest animated films ever made. It's also, despite the European influence on its inhabitants' design, a very Japanese movie.

Since the Final Fantasy games have been so incredibly influential, it's interesting to see where FF's designers have looked for their own inspiration.
