In fact, it was a pull note I made to refer to the play of "Nausicaa".
I try to write from the perspective of watching this animation for the first time, and I try to describe only the audio-visual itself in terms of language. I hope to get to the point where I can fully appreciate the story by reading the script even if I haven't seen it.
I'm only halfway through it at the moment, I'll finish it if I get a chance.
1. Somewhere in the desert
A well-guarded man led two ostriches through the wind, through the dry spore forest, several trees bursting with spores. He descended the ostrich in front of the spore-covered stone house and kicked the door open. In the dark room, among the crowded spore piles, a skeleton-like helmet was seen. There was a rag doll under his feet, he tried to pick it up, but it shattered into powder in his hands.
"Another village perished"
In the sky outside, countless flying insects buzzed around the wreckage of the plane. He came out and got on the ostrich.
"Let's go, this place will soon be engulfed by the sea of rot"
The ostrich took him out of the desert.
Subtitle: "A thousand years after the collapse of the huge industrial civilization, the earth covered with worm shells emits a poisonous miasma and turns into a forest called the sea of rot. The sea of rot gradually expands, threatening the survival of the declining human beings."
Movie title: "The Valley of the Wind", a mural that narrates history
2. The sun outside the sky
Down from the sky, through the white clouds, the girl was driving the flying wing, landed in front of the sea of rot, took up her weapon, and walked towards the forest.
3. Somewhere in the Sea of Rot
The girl passed through the tall plants, crouched down in front of a tree root, and took a little spore into a test tube. Continue to walk, suddenly enlightened, and come to a vast tunnel.
"It's the road the king worm has traveled"
“still new”
she found a huge worm carcass
"The shell of the king bug"
"Fantastic, first time seeing such a complete shell"
She stabbed it with the knife, motionless, and the knife hummed with shock.
She laughed, "Even the ceramic knives are cut out, and the people in the village will be very happy. With these, you don't have to worry about finding materials to make tools."
Climbing to a bug eye, "It's great, you should be able to fly with just one."
She used the gunpowder of the bullet and the knife to remove the transparent shell and held it like an umbrella.
"It's so light"
Spores begin to fall in the sky.
"The worm tree is spreading the spores of the afternoon. It's beautiful, but it's a forest of death for us, as long as we don't wear a mask, our lungs can fester within 5 minutes."
Lying in the snow-like spores, she was suddenly startled.
"who is it?"
Get up and look around.
"Who is it? My heart is beating so fast."
gunshots.
"That's the sound of a shooting bug, someone is being attacked by a bug!"
She ran out of the tunnel, stepped on a bug, said "Sorry!" and climbed to the very top of the forest.
4. Day outside the forest
Looking out from the top, huge explosions are constantly taking place deep in the forest. "King insect, the shell just now must be his"
The girl fired a flare to lure it over.
The girl ran out of the forest and drove the flying wing to the direction of the king bug. I saw the king bug chasing a man out of the forest. It was the man who wore the cape at the beginning.
The girl persuaded Wang Bug to go back, but it was useless. She fired flashbangs and played the bug flute, and the king bug fainted and turned back to the forest.
5. The Sun on the Desert
The king bug left, and the man in the cloak walked to a place with a windmill. The girl landed and ran to hug him.
"Master Juba!"
"Nausicaa, I almost don't recognize you!"
Nausicaa: I haven't seen you in a year and a half. Dad will be very happy!
Yuba: Thank you just now, you have become a great windmaster.
A small animal slipped out of Yuba's pocket, like a squirrel. Very grumpy, Nausicaa stretched out her hand, trying to appease it, and the fox squirrel jumped on top of her. He bit her finger hard. Juba looked worried. Nausicaa comforted it, and the fox squirrel calmed down, licking the wound on her finger with her tongue. She turned happily, and ran to the two ostriches to greet them.
Juba: What a miraculous power.
Juba asked Nausicaa how everyone was doing, and Nausicaa became gloomy.
Nausicaa: Dad, he can't fly anymore.
Nausicaa invites Yuba to see her secret room and bring back the worm's shell. Jump off the cliff with your own flying wing and fly far away.
6. Outside the Valley of the Wind
Juba returned to the Valley of the Winds, and along the way there were water sources, windmills, and ostriches drinking water. Several people came to welcome him, and he passed the orchards, the fields, and greeted the children. The villagers welcomed him at the entrance of the village.
Nausicaa repairs a windmill on a roof, and the windmill is repaired, thanks to the villagers.
Nausicaa carried a newborn baby to Juba, who promised to name him. The old man at the screen mentioned that he should not go to the Sea of Rot like Nausicaa.
7. The day outside the street
The children were fighting in the street, and Yuba passed the house, the bridge, and the tallest building in the Valley of the Winds, which, seen from the sky, faced the canyon's tuyere.
8. Day in the King's Room
King Kiel lay wounded and asked what was going on outside. Juba said that two cities were swallowed by the sea of rot, and war was everywhere.
The witch is making soup, and Nausicaa is watching the fox squirrel next to her.
The witch said that thanks to the protection of the wind from the sea in the Valley of the Wind, the toxins could not be blown away. Kiel persuades Juba to stay, and the witch says that Juba is destined to keep searching. The witch mentions the fabric on the wall, which is embroidered with legends, that a man in a long blue robe descends on the golden grassland and leads people to the blue and pure place.
Yuba said that he just hoped that the mystery of the sea of rot could be solved one day, whether human beings are destined to be swallowed up by the sea of rot like this.
9. The night outside the Valley of the Wind
The wind whistled on the grasslands of the Valley of the Wind.

They run out.
14. The night outside the observatory
They and the three sentinels watched the night nervously, and the wind was blowing. The leaves are flying. Juba also came.
Nausicaa saw a spaceship, and then a huge airship rumbled over the lookout.
Juba: That's the big ship of Dorumecia.
The spaceship was about to make an emergency landing, Nausicaa activated its wings, and Dido the fox squirrel stood on her shoulders. She flew to the airship to lure it down.
15. The night outside the airship
The head of the airship was covered with bugs and crashed on the ground. The surroundings suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
16. The night outside the observatory
The others saw this from a distance and ran down to save Nausicaa.
17. The night outside the wreckage of the flying boat
Amid the raging fire, Nausicaa found a girl with her hands in handcuffs. Nausicaa carried her out of the wreckage. Nausicaa undid her neckline, her face froze, her hands froze. Nausicaa let go and listened to the girl with tears in her eyes.
Girl: I'm Rustelle from Paget... Please burn the goods... all, please burn all.
People come to the rescue, and Mitt finds Nausicaa.
Mitt: This is Paget's royal princess.
Nausicaa cut off the handcuffs.
18. Nearby nights
The villagers were gathered to face a gadfly, armed with rakes, shovels, knives and guns. The worm hissed and called to his companions. People panic.
Nausicaa asked people to bring the flying wing, approached it, and threw the worm flute, and under the sound of the worm flute, the worm spread its wings. Nausicaa threw the worm flute into the night sky, the worm flew up, and she flew with the flying wing. People cheered.
Juba: Great, even killing one of them would be unimaginable.
19. Outer day over the ocean
The gadfly followed Nausicaa across the sea and flew to the other shore.
In the distance was a king bug, the gadfly flew to it, and it turned away.
20. The sun outside the sky
Several airships are flying
21. Outside the Valley of the Wind
Among the windmills, among the trees, there were a few figures. One of the little boys, finding a mass of spores on the stump, called for someone to come. The uncle next to it sprayed it with fire and burned it.
22. Airship Wreck Outer Sun
A gigantic thing, people say, it can't be burned.
Juba prompts that it is moving.
Yuba: I heard a bad rumour during my travels that some old-world monsters slumbering under Pejit have been dug up.
Mitt: Monsters of the old world?
Juba: It's the giant warrior.
Mitt: Giant Soldier? Is that the monster that burned the world on the Seventh Day of Fire? This guy is...
Insert the picture, the giant soldiers marching in the firelight.
Juba: Dorumecia is a murderous military state in the far west. It's Pejit's captive who died again, and I'm worried...
23. Day in and Out of the Woods
Nausicaa was working with people in the woods, looking up at the sky, saying please, run out of the woods.
Looking at the twilight, frowning, Dido growled. Said there was something.

found the freighter,
24. Outside the Valley of the Wind
The working people panicked when they saw the airship flying down. The airship smashed into the windmill tower.

The airship landed, soldiers covered in iron armor rushed out, and tanks drove out.
25. Day in the King's Room
Kiel was on the bed, drawing his sword out of its scabbard. Next to it is a witch.
26. Outside the main tower
Nausicaa ran over, and another group of soldiers ran out of the airship, into the main tower, and upstairs. Several soldiers rushed into the king's room. Outside, Nausicaa heard the gunshots and hurried up the other way.
27. Day in the King's Room
Nausicaa opened the door and saw Kiel lying on the ground surrounded by enemy soldiers. He slashed furiously with the farm implements in his hands, shouting at the same time.
The armored soldier opened the door, but Nausicaa couldn't slash, skipped the opponent's counterattack, picked up a sword, and stabbed the opponent.
Yuba jumped out suddenly, stood between them, and was stabbed in the arm by Nausicaa.
Juba spoke sternly to the general behind the soldier.
Nausicaa watched in horror at the blood dripping from Yuba's hands. The villagers outside were threatened by soldiers and held in check.
The staff officer picked up the pistol, and the general called him Crotova and told him to stop.
Drop weapons on both sides.
28. The day outside the bridge
The disarmed villagers huddled together, in front of enemy tanks and guards, and a pile of firearms was piled in a mess in the center. Nausicaa walked gloomily under the enemy tank. General Kushana shouted to everyone. Claiming to integrate border countries, burn up the sea of rot, and they have resurrected the ancient power, soon everyone will not have to be afraid of toxins.
The witch stood up and said that you are not allowed to attack the rotten sea. Since ancient times, human beings have tried to destroy the rotten sea many times. The spores grew again, and the earth was once again covered with a sea of rot. (screen appears at the same time)
Crotova insults the witch, the witch fights back, everyone knows that King Kiel was killed, and they get angry. The soldiers step forward to suppress it, and Nausicaa asks everyone to calm down.
Nausicaa leaves.
29. The Wreck of the Previous Airship Outside the Sun
Soldiers and villagers dragged the giant red object with ropes.
On the observation deck, Crotova told Kushana that the order above was to bring the Titans back to the country. Kushana said that she couldn't do it. She wanted to establish a country in the Valley of the Wind and resurrect the giant soldiers here. She's going back to Paget in the gunboat.
30. An indoor day in the tower
Kushana faced the crowd and Nausicaa and said that she would take Nausicaa as a hostage. Grab your provisions and leave in a gunboat.

The villagers were loading the gunboats, and Yuba and Mitt whispered, and Yuba said that he was going to leave, and asked Mitt to find a way to prevent the resurrection of the giant soldier.
32. Night in Nausicaa's Room
Juba knocked on the door, but no one answered, and entered. Dido was scratching the wall, leading Yuba to open the secret door and walk in.
33. The night in the secret room
Juba followed Dido down the stone stairs to the secret room. Yuba was amazed that the colorful plants in the secret room were rotten sea plants. Nausicaa was lying on the table in the center, Nausicaa introduced him, and Yuba looked around in amazement.
Nausicaa: I found that as long as the water and soil are clean, even the plants in the rotten sea will not emit poisonous gas. The real pollution is the land. Who the hell is polluting the world like this?
Nausicaa said that she had just turned off the water, and soon, this place will wither. She threw herself into Juba's arms and cried, saying that she had become terrible.
34. The Sun in the Valley of the Wind
The morning sun emerges.
The airship started its engines and the children brought her cookies as Nausicaa walked towards the airship. Nausicaa promised them they would come back. The airships took off, and Juba and the witch watched.
35. The sun outside the sky
When the fleet was flying, the villagers in the gunboat were discussing why they were flying so low, whether they were afraid of being attacked. Nausicaa looked up, a gunboat rushed towards the fleet from above, and after a burst of fire, the second ship exploded and fell. Someone shouted that it was Paget's gunboat. The gunboat rushed over for the second time, and the third ship was also shot and fell. Nausicaa's gunboat was also hit, and she shouted to him, stop killing people.
Nausicaa and Mitt entered a gunboat in the warehouse, and Kushana followed. They blasted off the hull and flew out. Nausicaa told them to put on masks and go under the clouds to rescue the cargo ship.
36. The sun above the rotten sea
The cargo ship was found, the cargo ship was sinking, and the people on the cargo ship shouted that the hook was broken and there was no way to rescue it in the air. Mitt called the people on the freighter to throw the cargo away, and they just said goodbye. Nausicaa ordered Mitt to turn off the engine, take off her mask and speak to them, making them trust herself. The people on the cargo ship begged the princess to put on a mask, saying that if she saw the princess smiling, it would be alright, so they threw the cargo away.
37. Corrupt domestic day
Nausicaa's gunboat and cargo ship were parked on the water. When several people rushed towards Nausicaa excitedly, Kushana raised the gun and told them not to move.
Kushana: I just worked hard for you. You are so naive, do you think I will kowtow to thank you for saving your life?
Nausicaa: You don't know anything about the Sea of Rot. This is not a human world. Just by shooting, I don't know what the consequences will be.
Nausicaa asked her to look up, and the dragonflies had already flown in swarms. Nausicaa told the others to get out of here quickly, prepare the escape rope, and let Mitt fix the hook. Kushana shot suddenly.
Kushana: Don't move! Only I can give orders here!
Nausicaa: What are you afraid of? Like a lost fox squirrel.
Kushana: What did you say?
Nausicaa: Don't be afraid, I just want to help you and let you go back to your country.
Kushana: You bastard!
The gunboat Kushana was standing on suddenly vibrated on the water, and several king bugs gradually surfaced. Nausicaa stopped Kushana from shooting, still pointing at Nausicaa.
Nausicaa said the overlords were watching us, and she spoke to the overlords, asking for their understanding.
The king bug stretched out many golden tentacles to wrap around Nausicaa. Nausicaa entered a hallucination, surrounded by golden grasslands and a tree with something glowing.
The king bug left quickly, and Nausicaa suddenly said that the man was still alive.
The eyes of the king insect turned red, and a large group of insects flew over, and they all went in the same direction.
Nausicaa took out the flying wing and told everyone to go back to the Valley of the Winds if they didn't see her back. She flew out of here.
Mitt took Kushana's gun away.
38. Another inner day in the sea of rot
The swarm moved forward together. The teenager who attacked the fleet just now was shooting defense, and was forced to the edge of the cliff and fell. Nausicaa swooped down and caught him. A giant bug is chasing them. The flying wing was hit and fell into the quicksand of the Rotten Sea.
The boy crawled towards Nausicaa, and the two sank together in the quicksand.
39. The sun outside the sky
The rescued people looked down from the gunboat, only a dense swarm of insects, they kept calling Nausicaa's name.
40. hallucinations
In the golden grassland, the little girl Nausicaa was squatting alone to pick flowers, and Kiel called her over on the horse.
Nausicaa was with her parents, followed by the entourage on horseback. The voice in my heart said, I don't want to go there.
Nausicaa leaned her back against a tree, hiding something behind her, many hands stretched out, and the king bug burrowed out from between her feet. Nausicaa hugged it. Keel said she was bewitched by bugs. Take away the king bug.
Nausicaa cried out not to kill it.
41. Inner Japan under the Sea of Corruption
Nausicaa woke up. She lay on the ground, Dido rubbing her face. She looked around, like a tall forest, very clean. "It's incredible"
The boy came over with the flying wing, thanked her, and introduced himself as Asbel from Pejit.
He said they were under the rotten sea, where the air was clean.
Nausicaa looked around in amazement. I leaned against a tree, closed my eyes, and listened to the sound of running water inside. The sand that fell from the sky was soft, like the bottom of a well.
When Asbel found Nausicaa, she was lying on the ground with her eyes closed, her eyes were crying, and she said she was very happy. The sand in the distance fell quietly.
The two sat down and talked.
42. Inner night under the rotten sea
The two were lying on the ground talking.
Nausicaa said that the trees of the rotten sea were born to purify this world polluted by humans. This is how the void was born, and the swarm is guarding the trees.
Gradually she fell asleep.
43. The Night Outside the Valley of the Wind
Thick smoke from the main tower
44. Night in the Incubation Furnace
Crotovar was inspecting the incubator, surrounded by limbs pulsing. Inside the huge sphere, the monster seemed to be breathing.
Juba watched calmly in the dark. Crotova praised and ridiculed the monster.
The subordinates came to report the situation that the fleet was attacked and destroyed. Crotovar smiled at the monster and said he was going to be lucky.
