Why no underwear?


Naussica is very obviously naked, at least from the waist down, under that very short tunic. Does anyone else find this a bit odd?

*Nausicaä

Mmmmm... turns out she should be wearing pants after all, here is the original manga. http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/42/t398863-nausicaa-valley-of-wind/

Haha I thought the same thing for a little while.. Thought it was hilarious. Then I realized that she is actually wearing ivory colored pants.. You can see the fabric crease in several scenes.. Was disappointed. ;)

I know, there was something really cool about the totally nonchalant nature of the (apparent) cheeky shots here and there ?

Definitely.. It was my favorite part of the film for sure. I still like to pretend she isn't wearing pants.

reply

Agreed. I've always remembered Nausicaa as the anime where the girl, for some strange reason, doesn't bother wearing pants or underwear. I first saw it in the 80s, and just now I've learned that she was wearing pants. Sort of ruins the mystique of that movie for me. Sucks.

That's known in the business as 'Something for the Dads'

I hate all three of you.

Can't stop the signal.

She is wearing pants. Look closely, read the FAQ, look at the character designs. She is wearing pants, they are very close in color to her skin, but there are pants there.


I hate IMDB's Signature policy...

Yes, and there's a link to a picture in the second post.

Well, she's a Warrior/Pacifist Princess going commando and wanting to air dry. Nothing wrong with that. 

She's wearing pants. Some versions just have poor colour fidelity and her pants are too close to her skin colour

reply

Whatever she finds more comfortable, I guess. Although I suppose going commando in midst of huge gusts of wind would get pretty annoying after a while.
