Abstract
A theoretical feminist media reading of the depiction of gendered power in Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli's three films Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Princess Mononoke, and Howl’s Moving Castle, followed by psychoanalytical analysis of otaku subculture and its appropriation of said films with respect to real-life gendered social issues in present-day Japan.
