Nausicaä by Julia Tveritina

[redeemed-wren]

This is an appreciation post for Nausicaa, Princess of Phaeacia.

Intelligent and insightful (recognised the political implications of bringing Odysseus home and came up with a plan that would get him help without sparking gossip and damaging her reputation)

Hard working and with integrity (at a tiny bit of prompting from Athena dragged out all the washing in the house to do, for her whole family)

Brave (stood her ground when fully naked, shipwrecked Odysseus emerged from the bushes, is compared to Artemis by both narrator and Odysseus)

A leader (directed her maids, calmed them down after they all--understandably--ran away from Odysseus)

Ambitious (recognised Odysseus' status after he got cleaned up and a godly glowup, decided that was the kind of guy she wanted to marry)

Playful and has a social life (I LOVE that we learn she's close friends with a local captain's daughter, and that we see her playing catch with her maids)

In general she's a surpsingly well rounded character with a neat wee arc of unrequited love, but no grudge and I care about her deeply

Nausicaä -- Ladybug

Heyo!

Welp, I feel like more doing some Studio Ghibli art, so I drew Nausicaä with a ladybug with two spring tulips (where the atmosphere is not toxic :)).

I have loved this movie since getting this (when trying to get Ponyo with absolutely no luck lol) :3, and didn't even know this movie was made BEFORE Studio Ghibli was founded ^^

I did this last night, and was too lazy to color the background ^^

What y'all think?

Moment of truth...

Keep in mind: I ONLY included the films in which (according to Wikipedia), Miyazaki was the SOLE director. The only one I couldn't squeeze on here was his latest work post-retirement (How Do You Live?). Also, alas, none of the other Ghibli films count, so don't ask for Arietty, or Grave of the Fireflies, etc.

Godspeed and happy voting! ❤

theres just something intimate about studio ghibli.

you sit down to watch about two hours of hand-drawn animation, each frame done with fragile care, with a silly little plot and cute little characters falling in love with something, whether it be friends, family, the world, nature, their work, independence, freedom, and doesn't even have to be romantic. these girls are so innocent yet brave main characters while also keeping their loving and kind personalities, with such great slice-of-life shots and cute little animal companions they can telepathically communicate with. they're the perfect things to watch with young kids, and can be enjoyed by practically any age they're that perfect.

i just love studio ghibli ok

The Search for a Solarpunk Anime

Allow me to think aloud for a moment. Because I noticed something.

Whenever people ask for movie recommendations or anime recommendations for Solarpunk, a movie that often gets named is Netflix's Bubble. And on one hand... I get it. The aesthetic of the movie is more Cozy Apocalypse than Solarpunk (aka lots of greens on the buildings and what not, but not because they have been planted there to make a better environment, rather than because the buildings falling into disrepair). But it scratches that certain itch, aesthetically.

Yet, the movie does not really feel Solarpunk to me. While one can argue that the folks who have fled into the bubble zone are kinda anarchistic in that they do lack clear hierarchies, they also do not do a ton of mutual aid, rather competing over ressources. Which to me is the issue. The movie does not have a lot of that Solarpunk spirit. Not much in terms of either mutual aid or environmental protection going on. It just has a pretty green aesthetic. (Though it should be said: Fucking darn, that movie is pretty.)

Of course, the obvious answer to name when it comes to Solarpunk anime movies is Studio Ghibli. Obvious, because the studio is one of the central inspirations behind the genre. So, duh, yes, there are quite a few Ghibli movies out there that are pretty darn Solarpunk. Most notably of course Nausicaä, Laputa and Princess Mononoke. These movies all are not only Solarpunk in some aesthetic aspects, but also when it comes to the themes inspiring them. Which is kinda funny to me, because neither of the movies is classical science fiction - making clear that scifi really is not a prerequesit for the genre.

But there is also another genre, I would say. And that genre is the movies, that do not have much of the aesthetic - outside maybe a vague cottagecore aesthetic - but have a lot of the themes I associate with Solarpunk.

To me two of those movies are Ame to Yuki: Wolf Children, and Misaki no Mayoiga. I already talked about the second movie, but just to sum up: Both movies really go deeply into the aspects of community building, mutual aid and also living in harmony with nature in some degree. Both very much show that we are really good at helping each other. And that you can have a good life without rigid organisation. And I really fucking love that about those movies.

Funnily enough: While funnily enough Makoto Shinkai with his generous aesthetic does have some scenes in several of his movies that just have the aesthetic flair of Solarpunk, I would say that thematically Suzume is the one most in line with the genre. Because it, too, as a lot of themes of mutual aid and just forming community and what not.

And I do not know. Maybe we are gonna see more of that stuff in the future?
