that Nausicaä release is spectacular! I'm not quite done with book 2 yet, but a deep-dive from you would be appreciated. Your reviews are always deep, thoughtful examinations of the story. If you can track down issue one of the initial Viz release, it comes with a Nausicaä poster by Moebius!
The Moomin phenomena has become a beast of it's own at least here in Sweden and Finland and probably other places too with the Moomin mugs. Every female in my family, mom, sister, aunts, great aunts and whatever's still alive is collecting them and some of them are expensive as hell! I haven't read the comics, but I grew up watching the tv series here in Sweden.
That's what I'm finding out! Wow, it sounds like quite a craze, but i can completely see why! They're not only extremely cute, but each of the characters has such a distinct and lovable personality, flaws and all!
I loved this format! Nausicaä is one of my all-time favorite comics/animated movies, and I only knew Moomin by name before watching this video. This format could be a great method for recommending comics that people like me might not have heard of or know much about
Thanks so much, and I am thrilled that you liked this approach! That was exactly what i was thinking, how to double down on the recommendations, without spoilers, and not necessarily be a deep dive. Thank you once again for the kind words of encouragement!
As a Finn it is my obligation to stress the fact that Moomin is a Finnish comic book - despite the fact that Tove wrote in swedish. Swedish is the second official language here in Finland. Moomin is by far the biggest thing in comics from Finland so I feel a bit protective about its origins.😄 Another lesser known fact is that Tove did a half year run of Moomin comics to Ny Tid newspaper(Finnish newspaper in swedish language) in 1947. Style was quite different and there was no speech bubbles(Prince Valiant-style) as was common back then. Only worth reading if you are a die hard fan though. The Evening News strips(started in 1954) that made Moomin famous(the ones in your Deluxe edition) were originally published first in english. Tove did write them in swedish and then her brother Lars translated them to english for the print. I´m not an expert on Moomin but of course I have been exposed to it since childhood. Standing here in the epicenter of Moomin it is easy to forget how massive and lasting impact it has made world wide. A video like this is great(and maybe needed) reminder.
Haha oh yes, absolutely a Finnish comic. I did only mention language here, not nationality (I think i even said Japanese, not Japan) because I only wanted to make a point about the translated nature of the work I've enjoyed. I didn't actually realise what a merchandising phenomenon it was, in that way closer to Superman or Mickey Mouse that it actually may outstrip the 'actual' stories!
@@ftloc It´s just a thing Finns do with Moomin. If you don´t say it Finnish we have to😅 Tove and Lars founded Moomin Characters company in 1958 without any knowledge of business. Fun fact: Jansson family was all artists and kind of anti-business and capitalism. And it turned out their company became one of the most profitable in this country.🙃It´s basically a licensing company so they don´t manufacture the mugs etc themselves.
@@benjclark I don’t have any facts on that but probably not. I’d advise to check all collected editions as Ny Tid material could be valuable as a bonus material in them.
The Nausicaa box-set is just a beauty to see, a lush editon to match a breathtaking piece of art, Im all down for it to get its own spotlight video. I know next to nothing about Moomin, but your vids have never fail to convince me on checking out new comics. Great oupload as always!
Frankly. I was surprised by how funny, warm, and thoughtful I found the Moomin comics to be! Thank you so much for your kind words, and I'm definitely going to see if a deeper dive into the masterpiece that is Nausicaa can be wrangled!
You always set the high bar for excellence in reviews I have Nausicca boxed set haven’t read it yet bought it in 2021 but the market forces and artistic recognition and universal love for his artistry make it rare and getting more and more expensive .My Hero Totoro is a revelation the Buddhist mantra that all life is human suffering and sickness affects us all is blended with a seemingly effortless joy and admiration for the biosphere and Mother Nature. Thank god for him Disney ruins everything in the world it’s pathetic and embarrassing but Miyazaki is simply incomparable and a force all his own- PURE GENUIS at the summit of human accomplishment I won’t even disparage his legacy by polluting the conversation with Disney comparisons !!!! 🌎🍄🐥🌊👑🦉👑
@@ftloc It seems like not many people are aware of it outside Japan. Maybe because it finished serialization in 1994, before manga and anime became popular in the West. Even among those who watched movie few are aware manga exists. So be the one who spreads the word!
Brilliantly unexpected comparison! My british relatives tried to push Moomin books on me for years...I had no idea they were originally comics for a decade or two. I only really got into it when I did come across the small collections that have come out recently. What I've read seems to be a daily comic strip...and it works extremely well in that format. Now I hang my head down in shame that I've never read Nausicca... I'd love to hear some more of your thoughts on the Moomin comics...
The strip format is great for the slightly episodic nature (not to mention the dreamlike barelling from one situation to another) of these stories! I confess I had my doubts - a cutesy merch empire character from the fifties could so easily have been just not my cup of tea. But i found it sad and wise and quite clear eyed (while staying warm) about people, which gives it a certain timelessness. I should probably go through each story again to see if that impression holds up!
Wow! Definitely need to get Nausicaa . I have a thing for pure ink and halftone art, and most of my collection contains black and white prints of comics. There is something about a black and white inked comic page that is just organic and beautiful. I heard that Miyazaki was already well established into animation by the time he drew the Nausicaa Manga and it shows in his beautiful art. Would you rather prefer a coloured comic book or a black and white one?
Big fan of the way black and white art looks, and I've got a number of videos on black and white versions of colour comics. They're not always 'better', given how important colour can be in storytelling when well used, but they are always a joy to read!
Some more similarities- I have never heard bad reviews of them, I have both boxed sets, have read neither, and won't have time to in the foreseeable future. Which should I read first if ever?
Haha great additions to the list! 😁 Since you seem pressed for time, the Moomin volume contains twenty-odd stories, and it should take maybe 30 minutes to read one. So that would definitely be one you could get full stories from in short bursts, unlike the more epic Nausicaa. Hope that helps!
I bought the 7 graphic novel release of Nausicaa in the 90s. I had to wait for the last 2 volumes to be released. Because I loved the film so much, I couldn't get into it as I thought the story was too dense. I read them over Christmas (nearly 30 years after buying them) and it is my favourite manga alongside Akira.
Nausicaa is quite similar to Akira in the way it was adapted. Both movies took the first 30% (more or less) of the original and added new endings. The original Nauicaa and Akira manga definitely go more in-depth and are definitely worth reading because of that.
With Akira,, it feels complete but i feel the movie version of Nausicaa feels unfinished . Of course, you're absolutely right that the books have more nuance and complexity.
As a child I used to own a cassette tape with one of the moomin stories. ( or Mummi trollet as it's known in Norway) and I listened to it almost every night, but yea the TV series is probably what most people know it for, and some of the absolute haunting character designs. The Valley of the wind is very well regarded by fans(Princess mononoke being another favourite of mine) but I believe the movie didn't get the best start as it got butchered by some studio I forget which.
Yes, I heard the initial release of Nausicaa in the USA was cut up quite badly, but even the full version is just half the story of the manga. Miyazaki of course is a hero of mine, but I do wish he had more comics~ !
I bought this almost ten years ago! I saw it available easily for the longest time, but suddenly it seems to have gotten hard to find? I just noticed that when looking up ISBNs for this video
I've only now realised how big the universe 9f Moomin merch is! I haven't read any of the books, but the comics collected here really suprised me, perhaps because of my preconceived notions? Always happy to be wrong in such cases! 😁
I got Nausicaa just last month, so I'm extra excited to see this video! I'm only familiar with Moomin by name, so this leaves me with something I need to check out
I'd love to know what you think of Nausicaa (and Moomin, if you get to it)! And so glad you liked the format - it was just thing I wanted to play with; any excuse to talk about comics I love! 😁
I’d love to see a deeper dive into this two volume box set that you have of Nausicaa! I only have the paperback volumes. And the only place in the US I have been able to find the box set you showed was on Amazon for $100, which seems way too pricey. This is the 2012 Viz release, yes?
Yes, this is indeed the 2012 box, which I bought at release. It was listed at 50 dollars, and available at 35, an absolute steal in my opinion. I guess it has finally gone out of print, and I hope they reprint it soon. 100 dollars seems a little excessive, i agree, although all prices have been going up in the last couple of years
I loved the Japanese animated Moomin series as a kid and loved it just as much when I rewatched it as an adult, so I've been curious about reading the comics for a while now. Unfortunately it looks like D&Q's deluxe edition is OOP (and has a pretty high cover price anyway), so I guess I'll just pick up one of the normal editions. If I do, would you recommend just starting at the beginning?
I'd say you can technically start anywhere, but the first stories do introduce the characters one by one. Having said that, the disarmingly straightforward way this is done (hello I am so and so!) means that you're not going to miss any saga of introduction 😁 I'd say grab whatever you can find/ get cheap and see what you think. Given your fondness for the show, I cannot see you not enjoying them, though! Let me know what you think!
Don't know if Moomin would have a comparison, but Naussica did have certain panels drawn differently for the Boxset (I think it was that version. If not it was one of the releases after the original because I do know of certain panels that look different in the original release).
How interesting! Yes, tweaks and adjustments do often make their way into comics between their serialization and the collection, and I am guessing even more so when being translated/reformatted for other markets.
This format - Six Things in Common - is such a good idea. I think I have earlier commended your ability to fuss about the comics. That is as important as reading comics. This type of video series is fussing at the highest level! I´d love to see more.
Haha 'fussing at the highest level' sounds just right! So glad you enjoyed the video - and if you haven't read these comics, i think you would greatly enjoy both!.
@@ftloc NAUSICAÄ has been on my wish list for a long time. I have only seen the film. Moomin I have read a lot but not for decades. Lately I´ve been experiencing heavy dose of nostalgia(yes, yes, I´m getting old)and seeing vids like this makes me think I should revisit the Moominvalley soon.

Never liked Moomin/Mummitrollet and I can not say why that is. It never appealed to me. Love Nausicaa, the movie and the comic. It took me a long time to get the series complete. Single issues and collections.
That sounds like a lovely collection!
