Hayao Miyazaki: She’s got big breasts, hasn’t she?
Legendary anime director Hayao Miyazaki doesn’t generally make creative choices based on a whim.
When the castle guards and old woman die, Nausicaa holds them as they pass away, so that’s why she has them.
So high-minded is Miyazaki that apparently there’s even an artistic reason for the bust size of his original theatrical heroine, Nausicaa, star of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
