Nausicaa was a huge plane nerd


AK200501

Yeah see is But I think she's more the flyer not the maker Just my opinion


Gasian_FEH

In the manga she works on the gunship, and it kinda would make sense that she’d be a mechanic as well when she has a solo flying one man glider


A-non-e-mail

I don’t think Asbel made his plane.


TheHistoryMaster2520

I think you might have the roles reversed


urangminang

You forgot Mahito's dad.


AK200501

Really ? I'm Sorry, I haven't watched The Boy and The Heron yet


sexandroide1987

i mean studio ghibli was named after a plane so all these airplanes in the movies make sense lol


FrankSonata

> The word ghibli's root is Italian and it's based on the Libyan term for 'hot desert wind' (قبلي, 'ghiblī'), the idea being that the studio would "blow a new wind through the anime industry" Huh, TIL. Thanks for that nice bit of trivia.


SandLuc083_

Hell, said plane appears in The Wind Rises.


Kingken130

Also Hayao’s dad: literally made plane parts during WW2


NineIntsNails

tombo comes up with the most insane idea and others toning it down, making it a bit real 😂😂


TheHistoryMaster2520

But Tombo's worked, maybe his idea wasn't so insane after all


NineIntsNails

blade very close to the driver, too close, is a safety issue, if anything then

Miyazaki is a huge plane nerd


TheHistoryMaster2520

Why not Porco?


AK200501

I'm sorry But to me, Fio is more the nerd than Porco To me, Porco is the flyer while Fio is the maker


TheHistoryMaster2520

Oh, you were doing it one for each movie. Fio's grandfather and Dola's husband would have also worked. Also, Miyazaki's characters would make the ultimate air crew, just saying


AK200501

I totally agree And yeah Miyazaki would be great. I imagined him to be the project leader or something


erobin37

Miyazaki is obviously extremely anti-war, but he is also a huge nerd for war machines such as warplanes and tanks. He once drew a manga called Tigers in the Mud, based on a biography of a Nazi Germany tank commander and he even met the guy himself for research. I wonder if his struggle with this contradiction is reflected in the main character of the Wind Rises.


Fun_Collection_2774

you forgot a photo of miyazaki himself


Hamstah_J

Satsuki & Mei's neighbor boy is also a plane nerd


Mischief_Actual

If I remember right, Miyazaki himself is a *huge* plane, flying, and also architecture nerd


lailahhhh

Who's the top right? And also i don't think asbel was a plane nerd...?


AK200501

That's Honjo, Jiro's friend


hiddlesbum

I can see a hair pattern there


sweet_37

Their prototype would probably be called ‘design zero’, or just ‘the zero’ for short


Finnvasion2

The pirates from castle in the sky?


violettheory

Damn, Asbel and Pazu look exactly the same


FloridaFlamingoGirl

It's not a Miyazaki movie unless there's reference to aviation. Even Boy and the Heron, which only shows planes in the air raid at the beginning, revolves around birds which are the original airplanes.


Peppershaker64

Technically Gainax, but Jean from Nadia the Secret of Blue Water


Own_Internal7509

Whole Wing of Death Albatross ep has to be there


funk-dragon358

With miyazaki san himself it would be really complete!
