Nausicaa Sequels Could Happen !!

You're thinking, no Miyazaki doesn't do Sequels, it isn't his style. Well we could get one


Hayao Miyazaki and Hideaki Anno have worked together on a few different projects – Anno even provides the voice of Jirō Horikoshi in Miyazaki’s The Wind Rises – but their working relationship began with Nausicaä. Anno animated The God Warrior for that film and Miyazaki was clearly very pleased with his work.

Hideaki Anno then went on to make one of the most influential anime series of all time, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Miyazaki became one of the most highly regarded animation directors working today. If not the most highly regarded. They’re a hell of a animation power couple

Anime News Network are reporting today that Miyazaki mentioned on Ō-sama no Brunch, a TV programme he was appearing on to promote The Wind Rises, that Anno is very keen on the idea of making a sequel to Nausicaä and that Miyazaki is happy for him to do it.

When asked about making a second film Miyazaki replied,


No, I don’t. I don’t really feel like doing it, but Anno keeps on saying, ‘I want to do it! I want to do it!,’ so I tell him now that I’ve come to think lately that if he wanted to do it, it would be fine for him to do it.

It obviously doesn’t sound anything like a done deal but Miyazaki certainly seems to suggest that Anno is very keen on the idea. Unfortunately I can’t speak Japanese so I’m relying on ANN’s translation of the interview but I highly doubt that they would get this one wrong.

Well that would be interesting. Nausicaa meets NGE. What a mix!

I hope someday to see the Ghibli short films collected into one or two collections that we could view...

It would be a dream come true for me. Let's hope for the best. I wonder how the story would continue if it is made indeed

Huh, that would be cool. I wonder, would Anno direct it as a Ghibli production? Or would it be a different studio handling the work?

I'm sure that if Nausicaa is involved as a character in the story, then so would Miyazaki. He wouldn't let go of her so easily

I'm also curious about whether it would be an original story, or follow the manga, or be a sequel to the film...

Nausicaa's world is really a good fit for Anno, I think.
