Yeah, understand completely. I just couldn't in my right mind leave them both rated the same when one was so much better than the other.

Yeah, even though typically I usually do that myself, chances are I probably won't this time, no matter how much better the manga is. Kind of a nostalgia sort of thing, you know?

One thing I didn't mention in the review: Given how much better the manga is, I lowered by ANN rating for the movie from "Masterpiece" to "Very Good." Of course, I gave the manga the rating of "Masterpiece."

That should give a pretty good idea of how much better I found the manga to be in relation to the film.

Of course that's if you're willing to look past th...

Of course that's if you're willing to look past the fact that they're used and therefore aren't always in the best of conditions. But the way I see it as long as I can still read them and still get into the story well enough that's all that really matters.

Only $40? Very nice! That's a steal.

I gocha. I also found all 7 volumes over on Amazon as well that I could buy used for a grand total of around $40 or so, taking the conditions of the books into consideration and everything of course.

You can order the series from Right Stuf, though not all volumes are in stock at the moment.

I've been wanting to read the manga series ever since I heard there was one in the first place, and it's great to know how well worth it it is. Nausica along with Princess Monnonoke have always traded blows as being my all time favorite anime movie and one of my all time favorite movies altogether (though I've decided in the last year or so to give that title to Nausica), so that's really saying something that the manga is that much better. Any idea where I might be able to find it by any chance?

Ho .... now then--now why would you--why would you say something like THAT? I, uh, I have never, uh, read such a book as an "Oishinbo"; but, uhhhh, if I had I'm sure it would look and sound COMPLETELY different.

"The film is like an appetizer, if you will - it readies the palate in preparation for the main course." You have been reading "Oishinbo" manga haven't you?
