In 2011, Disney released the Blu-ray and last year I decided to fill a gap in my collection. The faded quality of the version I first saw years ago probably had a lot to do with it. Having never acquired the DVD release of Nausicaä due to it being a low priority. According to this review, it's actually the Blu-ray release that cleans up the colors: I have seen the DVD release and can also attest that this is the same in the DVD. However, I won't deny that her pants in the anime are cream-colored and seem to be tighter fitting, which definitely makes it look like she's not wearing anything under her skirt: Wikipedia also confirms.) I don't know why he would have changed that between the manga release and the anime. (It's right there on the cover-story and art by Hayao Miyazaki.

Not only is the manga the original work that the movie was based on, it was written and drawn by Hayao Miyazaki himself. In the manga covers, you can see pretty clearly that she's wearing white pants under her skirt: We don't actually know if Nausicaa wears underwear, but no, I do not believe we're staring at her naked bottom throughout the entire movie. It also has some cover art from a manga version (not the anime) with white-coloured slacks. This FAQ (cited by Wikipedia) denies that any scenes were cut because of nudity, and states that the impression she doesn't wear underpants were because of poor quality videotape fansubs, saying that watching the DVD would clear it up - but I was watching the DVD to start off with. Is a bias against prudishness a shared theme of Ghibli, along with a love of flying and a love of nature? However, while other Ghibli works I've come across seem moderately relaxed with regards to clothing (you can briefly see totally innocent underwear in Kiki's delivery service, and there's a joking suggestion of nude portraiture) it seems a little surprising. If she isn't wearing underpants, what is the outside-universe reason for not doing so? Within-universe, it seems to make sense: a lot of the clothing worn is very simple clothing, as if it were hand-made.

Either that, or she's wearing tight-fitting slacks that are of a colour close to skin tone.


I haven't watched all of it yet, but it seems as if Nausicaä isn't wearing underpants in the anime version.
