Time for Cessia's unpopular opinion time but I don't find Ghibli movies to be that special.
That being said, I do love the films regardless I just find that they lack true substance. To me Ghibli holds a temporary place in my viewing regime. To explain, anime or manga that I truly enjoy, for example Fullmetal Alchemist, I can catch myself watching it multiple time overs with a genuine attachment to the characters, plot, and animation. However I find myself saying "I love XXX ghibli film!" but never truly feeling the need to go back and relive that experience. Nausicaa is a perfect example of this.
I find that Nausicaa does touch on excellent concepts of deterioration of nature due to human influence, but it doesn't bring me back for more. Which is a fault of anime films but presents its ideology to a larger audience without the commitment to a whole series. I feel like my biggest problem with Ghibli is the overattachment to characters who never contributed much to a film for commercialism. Regardless of my opinion of Ghibli, I think Nausicaa is a brilliant piece that is better read than watched in order to properly process the content.
