Story Synopsis
It has been many
generations since the fall of industrial civilization and in its place rose
the Sea of Decay. Humanity has struggled to survive in the toxic air and the planet has become dominated by gargantuan insects know as
Ohms. These hostile conditions have fostered great tension between many of the
remaining settlements, thus war and violence still exist. However, there is
one place that has managed to find peace.
Nestled deep within protect canyon walls is the kingdom known as the Valley of the Wind. The small nation has been spared the encroachment of the Sea due to the constant winds of its namesake. More akin to a large family than a country, the citizens go about their daily lives farming the land and scavenging materials from the boarding wasteland. Leading the effort, and brightening everyone’s spirits, is the beloved princess Nausicaä (voiced by Sumi Shimamoto).

Nausicaä loves her people deeply and has a strong connection with the natural world. Unlike most, she doesn’t fear the giant Ohms, but respects them. Her outlook is certainly unusual, but it has kept the Valley safe. That is until her home is invaded; not by the insect world, but by the human.
