Starting out, I have honestly skipped over Nausicaa and never really came back to it until now. I really loved diving into it as one of my favorite things is deep visual world-building and just displaying absolute environment porn such as is displayed in Nausicaa. One work that I've read recently was Blame! as it has little to no dialogue, words, or speech bubbles and displays pages after pages of lone environment exploration. Seeing the amount of pure environment shots while reading Nausicaa felt really refreshing as I've been watching mostly seasonal anime of late.
Above are two pages from different parts of Blame!. As they aren't the same thematically, Nausicaa and Blame! have both given me great feels of exploration of environment that is not normally seen in most manga. There is a level of world building that is on a grander scale in these works in line with scales of Akira and the Metropolis Anime visdev work.
