Best Miyazaki Movie Heroine

[SuperKaiju]

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum. I am also a fan of Hayao Miyazaki's movies, as you can tell my choice on what Genre/Series/Studio-thing to check out first. In several Miyazaki movies, there is a main female protagonist. So, the question is: who is your favorite Miyazaki heroine?^_^

Greetings and salutations Superkaiju.

Interesting topic. I'm sure it will attract a lot of responses. In the meantime, might I suggest you go to the OFF-TOPIC (http://www.animenation.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=10) forums and tell us all a little something about yourself.

Welcome to the forums. :)

Nausicaa.

Nausicaa.


She gets my vote too.

Princess of the Valley of the Wind
Aviator (cool glider as well)

If you can find the Manga (Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, published by Viz), I highly recommend it.

Same here. It's better than the anime in my opinion.

[slyfox299]

Nausicaa or Sheeta...

I dunno, Shizuku Tsukishima of "Whisper of the Heart" played her role pretty well too...

(Not really a heroine, but Fuji was good from Castle of Cagliostro...

[Miria Harvent]

I love Nausicca as well, but Mononoke is by far the best. I don't mind Chihiro either.

[Miria Harvent]

Scratch that. Fujiko Mine is the absolute best. (she's from the Lupin series)

[NEWandKIC]

I like Nausicaa, as well. She is a compassionate and strong!

[Schadenfreude]

Naussica. 'Nuff said.

[gummi-bear-07]

Everyone seems to be for Nausicaa. (:
I don't have a favourite, I've yet to see many.
I quite like Chihiro/Sen (Spirited Away) or Shizuku (Whisper of the Heart). :3

Yep! Its gotta be Nausicaa (depite her... unfortunate name)

[Arnold]

Right now it has to still be San from Princess Mononoke, though I'm liking what I've seen from Nausicaa.

[tenshi_a]

I'd vote for Nausicaa as well. ^_^

[ZeroRyoko1974]

Nausica, Chihiro, San, and Shizuku are my favorites

[Schadenfreude]

Admit it. Naussicaa is just hands down Miyazaki's best character. Evar.

[Skylark]

Best Miyazaki movie heroine?

1. Nausicaa without a doubt.

Other interesting heroines (from tv series as well as movies and continued in order of interest):

2.The mature Lana from Future boy Conan.

Whoops -- I didn't know the lead post was December 9th. -_-; Ah well, hopefully it's always pleasant to see some nice pretty pictures added to help expand or round out the subject even if the thread is a couple of years old.:)

[Sheeta]

She! Definitely!

Nausicaa...

[MilkMade]

wow lolz alot of people chose nausicaa! i like chihiro and nausicaa. but if there was a heroine that consisted of nausicaa and mononoke together in one person, i think she would be my favorite heroine... :)

[Caster13]

How come every single time a person joins this forum they necro threads like crazy?

Anyway I think that Nausicaa is the best female character in all of anime and manga. Not just Miyazaki movies, all of it.

[CakeMonster]

Dont want to be odd one out but the hero for me is Muta on Cat returns he saves everyone :) and for that he is awesome :p

[totoroplushtoy]

Definitely, Shihiro!

[Jatz]

Nausicaä, San (Princess Mononoke) "You're beautiful." ":O", Sheeta (Laputa: Castle in the Sky), Satsuki (My Neighbor Totoro)

I don't really have one that I like overall.

She! Definitely!

Fixed.

That's a dude.

I’m not a fan of most Studio Ghibli movies however the best heroine is Nausicaa from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (the best of Studio Ghibli.)
