This film is my absolute favorite of his. It's sad it's so underrepresented in terms of merchandise and that more people don't recognize it as one of his top films. I love the art and the premise of the movie. Such interesting vegetation and creative creatures.

[@ericdietz1795]

Technically, it's a pre-Ghibli film. And if I have only one advantage over Adam, I'll bet I saw it first...

[@Nick-vu2bz]

Adam: im not gonna tell you what it is! Title: ......

And thumbnail.

[@mormacil]

And then the pinned comment for the exact details...

[@IsardPragmatique93]

Well nausicaa isn't that famous compared with other ghibli's animés

[@notfeedynotlazy]

@@IsardPragmatique93 ... ...you... you are trolling us, right?

[@IsardPragmatique93]

I just think that nausicaa is stl a movie known only by peuple how dug a bit deeper in ghibli animé, so it might be possible that a big part of this vidéo's viewers won't what it's about until Adam explains in the end of the video

[@notfeedynotlazy]

@@IsardPragmatique93 Sorry, pal, I usually am against arguing online, but I have to draw the line somewhere. Saying that Nausicaa is not a well-known movie just plain doesn't work. Dude, Nausicca is THE most well known Miyazaki movie. Is the one that led to the foundation of Studio Ghibli (it is considered a Ghibli film because Ghibli owns the rights). It's the one ranked as one of the greatest films ever made. If you ask anyone "tell me three Ghibli films", it will 99% of times be "Nausicaa and two others" (with the other two often including Totoro, but I know many people who believe Totoro is just a mascot and not knowing he has its own movie). Just agree that even if you didn't know about it it just means YOU are not very versed in Ghiobli films (which is NOT a dishonor; NOBODY is "required" to be very versed in ANYTHING) and enjoy the one-day build, pal. :-)

Nausicaä is one of my most beloved characters in Ghibli films so I'm feeling a lot of love for this build. Amazing design and idea... all it needs is a fox squirrel on her shoulder 🧝‍♀️🦊

[@chazzmccloud36]

As soon as I saw Nausicaa flying her glider in the thumbnail, I knew I had to watch the video. Favorite Ghibli character, hands down!

[@almoistthere]

I love watching Adam work with enthusiasm and explain things. This video, he kind of muttered cryptically. I'm glad it's just this one video, because I like his usual style better.

[@fredbrooks1386]

Wonderful build. Not even Adam is perfect and he never has said he was! I refer to my favorite gem of Inventor, Research and Development philosophy......“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” Thomas Edison Thank you Adam, you provide so many with so many wonderful ideas and inspiration.

[@kyleculp7520]

I think the ghibli builds are my favorite. Two different arts put together beautifully.

[@slebetman]

"I'm not going to tell you about this build" - but it's in the title!

[@thomaslevy2119]

The seam in the sky backdrop could be made less noticeable with some touch-up paint. I had the same problem with sections of a large wallpaper mural in my living room. "Invisible" nylon sewing thread (.004" clear or grey) would show up much less to suspend the model than the black thread or wire Adam used.

[@philgallagher1]

2:38 "I'm working out some details in my head"...... Yes, we know! It's what you do, and is part of the reason we keep coming back. Listening to you hold a conversation with us, where you play the parts of both you AND us is one of the best parts of any Adam Savage video!!

[@purplefuku]

Oh, this is incredible!! I love Nausicaä so much & I was super fortunate to see it on the big screen last year. It was an unforgettable experience.

[@fringepersonKay]

Nausicaa is my favourite princess. She's a scientist! And she's got her own flying machine! She's so cool, and THIS is so cool!

[@nathantron]

Ghibli are my favorite. They made my childhood complete.

[@hipojoe]

I love that movie. Such an underrated gem. Much like Porco Roso

[@Zael_Moonblade]

Have you read the manga yet? The Nausicaä one I mean.

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

It's not underrated, however it's not as widely known to the general public as, for example, Princess Mononoke.

[@tacoshmaco13]

Porco Roso is my favorite one! So underrated!

[@Tater_Lord]

Both nausica and porco are fantastic movies, also fun fact for any Australians that see this comment almost the entire Ghibli collection is available on our netflix

[@theboredengineer2612]

@@Zael_Moonblade I had no idea how extensive the story of Nausicaa actually was. It's like Myazaki's Lord of the Rings.

when you told me what it was for, i got goose bumps and smiled, this film was my favorite as a child and still is now.

[@Boomerangguy100]

By far my favorite studio ghibli film.

[@OMEGANEEDLER]

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Princess Mononoke are my favorite films from ghibli studio's, and this is also a nice build to watch I love it

[@hay_rei]

Yes!!! Nausicaä!! So underrated - it has some of the most beautiful scenery in the movie.

[@ndginger518]

This was my first Studio Ghibli film. It holds a special place in my heart, and I am happy to see others enjoy it as mush as I do. Thanks for being so awsome

[@eriklaroi8]

Warms my heart, the first Ghibli I watched. You have awakened a deep nostalgia.

[@alex.thedeadite]

It predates the studio even.

[@eriklaroi8]

Wow really? I haven’t had time to watch the whole video or research, was Miyazaki still at the helm?

[@FlippingSloth]

adam if you make a smaller window with slanted wood on inside that makes an angle towards the background then wherever you stand you will only have sight of the backdrop and figure rather than the inside of a box :)

Ever since I was little, I thought Adam was quirky and brilliant. I still think he is. I'm glad he makes videos. It's great!

[@WhiteShadows0]

I gotta say. I really love that workbench. Truly amazing craftsmanship went into it and I'm heading to rewatch it's video after this. It's so good.

[@veryearly]

"Isn't that peaceful?" he shouts over the noise of the motor. In seriousness, this is magnificent, Adam!

[@soraroxas1313]

Hey Adam, I grew up with a father who is a maker, but as such, never myself actually got my hands dirty. As a non maker, I just wanted to say how I love your videos and seeing how each of your tools that you have adapted and updated over time continue to serve you to expedite and improve your process. From mythbusters, to cosplay, to prop making. From tools, to jokes and everything in between. Thank you for allowing us to share in your experiences!

[@RickZhukow]

Nausicaä was the first Ghibli film I ever saw. Made me a lifelong fan. Awesome build!

[@RoryOConnor]

I love the way metal fatigue fractures are so identifiable too! Very satisfying!

[@iyorit1089]

Your boyish feeling and passion is the very spirit of the Ghibli staff. Anyway, it will be fun to see your feelings. from your fans in 🇯🇵

[@halu959986]

I love the audio mixing in these videos, using ambient noise at standard speed over time lapses instead of royalty free music is just wonderful and helps lend a sense of determined progress

[@risingwolf2112]

That's a Beautiful build. Love how it moves and complements the the model. I almost feel like I'm gliding along with her. Thanks so much for sharing. 😎

[@logan_page]

Weird, I followed Naussica perfectly fine. Spirited Away on the other hand, now THAT'S a fever dream.

[@Nightwishmaster]

@@logan_page Spirited Away is my absolute favorite with Nausicaa being my second favorite, they both give me the feels big time!

[@dubbingsync]

@@logan_page Spirited Away just seems to dip into a strange mix of fantasy and slice of life for the bathhouse (in a fantasy world). Which does give the impression of a fever dream sort of thing at times. As the characters look at something very weird for us the audience and go “yeah that’s completely normal”

[@aBradApple]

Because Studio Ghibli doesn’t just share the magic of childhood with children. Good stuff, man. Nausicaa introduced me to this wondrous world. Now I want to make a Ponyo terrarium for some reason.

[@DagonDee]

I did like it when you would talk while you were creating, because it reminded me of my dad describing how to do do something and then getting sidetracked telling stories about his life. As a creator I can also understand the need to focus on a project and not get sidetracked. Also, my stepdad got me into watching mythbusters and I have fond memories of watching it together. Thank you for sharing your process.

[@Lintahlo]

Top 3 anime films of all time. Adore this movie. ❤️❤️❤️

[@T5646766]

Anything Hayao Miyazaki from studio Ghibli is IMO top notch/absolute masterpiece! I LOVE all the movies but Spirited away and Howl's moving castle are my favorite! Wish I could shake Hayao Miyazaki hand, his videos made me so happy during some major lows in my life.

[@Lethgar_Smith]

I've been thinking about something similar for my USS Enterprise model With a moving star field behind it. nice to see someone actually create what I had in mind for years.

[@coreyjwingate]

Nausicaa is the best Ghibli film, if not the best animated film, if not one of the best films ever made. So relevant to where this world is headed. Hopefully the insects and fungi smarten up soon and start weeding us out.

[@lilpurplekitten626]

Not gonna lie, I saw the thumbnail, recognized the glider and went full fangirl 😁 Nausicaa is my favorite Ghibli film and this is so cool!!!!! 💜

[@rafiqkatana]

Watching you explain things to the camera at 1.5 speed playback was trippy. Great build.

[@kaare1992]

I want to relax when watching these videos, but I always feel stressed since he is rushing so much, nudging and shoving things around, spilling his drinks. Oh Adam :D

[@kinetikx]

I'm so glad to see Adam doing these minimally edited videos where we get to see the process of making something in real-time. I get that he has to have some videos that need to jump-cut to the reveal so that the less creative people among us can feel included. But I'd wager that the larger part of this audience wants to watch the whole process- warts and all. *edit* Also; holy shit, check out that crazy server rack in the background of most of this video Adam, are you starting your own server farm?

[@showbags7]

Lol... that'd be awesome... but what is still awesome... they are his tote trays, for tools and fixings. I'm so jealous!

[@sarahsnow2563]

I love that it is made so that the moving background can be changed. I can see it with a starfield, race track stands, or dragons in the sky as a backdrop.

[@LatitudeSky]

Knew it would be a Möwe flyer as soon as I saw the sky background. So it wasn't a surprise. But I was still in tears seeing it all done. That's a very special celebration of a very special movie. Mr. Miyazaki would be humbled and honored at such a display.

[@artpotato9838]

Just the amount of adorable wholesome content by Adam is too much for my heart to handle. From the "I'm not going to tell you what it is." (name in the title) to the "look at this!" *holds up sky poster* "it's like tested's special effects!" Absolutely precious, what an icon.

[@bjoker8228]

Awesome! I just watched that film for the first time a few months ago. Probably become my favorite Ghibli film. It was very atmospheric and delved into serious themes. Tears were shed by the end.

[@vivifylights]

It's amazing! Thanks, Adam!

[@ayoshi1351]

I remember one night, a long long time ago, when my father brought a video tape (VHS?) of Nausicaa from work. At the time, Mr. Miyazaki and his creations were still completely unknown to the world, let alone even in Japan. My father had met Mr. Miyazaki who I recall was looking for advertiser(s) to fund the release/production of his work. A lot of time has passed since then, with more movies released and Mr. Miyazaki is now well recognized in the world, yet the story of Nausicca still remains to be my favorite of all his creations. Watching this KZbin video made me reminisce how I felt the very first time I ever saw Nausicca as a young human being still living in Japan.

[@thetribunaloftheimaginatio5247]

...Not gonna front. I was grinning from ear to ear during the beauty-shots of the finished build, with Nausicaa on her skywing against that gorgeous moving backdrop. I'm like a kid in a candy-store watching you make these cool things.

[@FieryKanata]

Nausicaa of the valley of the wind is great, definitely recommend the movie (watched it in Japanese) iirc it's on netflix for those who want to watch it. Edit: That movie was a big influence on the Final Fantasy franchise too btw

I’m so disappointed you guys spoiled this in the title and the thumbnail. It was clearly important to Adam as he was filming that this be something different, a surprise, and having that undercut the whole time was... yeah, it was disappointing.

Agreed! Atleast change the thumbnail, thats the LEAST thing you have to do imo!

Keywords in the title make a difference to people discovering the video. More people seeing it is worth any spoilers.

[@JonReevesLA]

@@dowdayjing8442 Still, they could have put it up for a day or two with a "mystery build" title and then change it for archival purposes.

[@dowdayjing8442]

@@TMWriting , I still stand by my statement. Here’s the description and link to a video by a popular KZbin science communicator. His video informed my opinion but of course you should verify the claims for yourself. “My hypothesis is that the algorithm, rather than viewer preference, drives views on the site. As the algorithm shifts, various KZbinrs experience burnout (as what used to work no longer works) and right now click-through rate is the key metric. So clickable titles and thumbnails are the only way to get a lot of impressions and hence views - they are the only way to go viral. This leads me to wonder which audiences will become most prevalent on the site and if there will even be a place for educational content. In the long-term, hopefully KZbin is able to measure satisfaction through surveys and other metrics to ensure an optimal experience for everyone on the site.” - Veritasium kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHnWkmx6ptJ8mpo

[@KierraWindsong]

This looks great! good job! I had no idea that figurine was available, I'm buying one next payday!! I'm so glad I'm not the only Nausicaa fan! I first saw only 10 minutes of the Japanese version in a high school Japanese class but unfortunately I had to go home sick that day so I didn't even know the name of the film but I was so captivated by it I spent years trying to find out what it was. I actually randomly came across the graphic novels years later in a comic book shop one day and was like I FOUND HER!!! Thus began my life long obsession with Hayao Miyazaki films! And sorry for being a "the book was better" type, but the graphic novel TOTALLY is. Imagine if the Lord of the Rings trilogy was condensed into a Hallmark movie. Don't get me wrong, the movie is good too...but definitely read the graphic novel if you haven't already! So much more depth to the Graphic Novel then the movie. It is truly Miyazaki's finest work.
