"Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" in English
Has anyone read "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" in English? Is it good stuff for English language learners? I've read its original version, of course, in Japanese, and loved it. I've read many children's books in English. So I am trying to read more difficult books for me.
どなたか英語版の『風の谷のナウシカ』を読まれた方はいますか？英語を勉強するのに向いている本ですか？オリジナル版はーもちろん日本語でー読んだことがあります。大好きです。私はこれまでたくさん英語で子供向けの本を読んできましたので、もっと難しいのを読もうとしているところなのです。

i read it a long time ago, it was absolutely brilliant, i actually liked it better than the film. i think it's a great idea to read stuff like comics to help you learn your target language, especially if you're already acquainted with it.

「風の谷のナウシカ」がすごい！英語で、そのマンガがいいです。I think it's a good idea to read something that you already are acquainted with in Japanese. But for me, I prefer practicing reading with books that were originally in Japanese. In fact, one of the books I enjoyed in Japanese was 『魔女の宅急便』 by 角野 栄子, which was also made as a Ghibli film (my favorite!). Takaoさん、頑張りましょう！

Hello Joe,
I bought English-dubbed DVDs of Nausicaa and "Howl's Moving Castle" recently.
But I realized that I might prefer the comic version than the film version.

This has been made into a Studio Ghibli film, dubbed into English. The English was perfectly good from what I remember. How close it was to the original Japanese I do not know.
