Summary
If you step foot in Ash Lake, you'll be struck by the improbability of a sea of trees rising infinitely to a sky you cannot see. And if you've seen Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, you'll think "this looks familiar".
It's impossible to deny that Hayao Miyazaki's work influenced Dark Souls, which is why we decided to cover it on this show. What we found was that the influences are relatively few and shallow... BUT, we also discovered that this pre-Ghibli classic has influenced an untold number of things we've consumed over the past three decades. While the plot and pacing left us wanting, the imagery, atmosphere, and sheer cultural importance of this work make it something we'd recommend checking out. Listen in to hear why.
