I can second the manga version of Nausicaa being superior to the film, the film is a convoluted mess compared to the manga.

  The film is mostly remarkable because it was presented at European festivals, effectively showcasing Ghibli to Western audiences for the first time - to raving reviews - and featuring an environmental message that was very strong for the times. Animation quality is spectacular, as you would expect from Ghibli, but indeed the story can be hard to follow, particularly on the early dubious subs.
