Giant God Warrior is a short film by Studio Ghibli, known for such classics as Spirited Away (2001) and Princess Mononoke (1997). Here, they bring out the God Warrior from their animated masterpiece Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984), one of several god warriors who destroyed the world. This short film can easily be found online, and it doesn't really matter if it lacks subtitles. It's a true testament of how miniature sets and handmade props can outshine digital special effects and computer graphics. I would be so glad if the whole film industry would start using these techniques and practical effects, because it's so much more fun to watch.
It clocks in at about ten minutes, but it's ten minutes of beautiful destruction and chaos, ten minutes of how Tokyo is reduced to ash.
