Origin: Spirits of the Past

The Spirits of the Past is an anime movie about a world where Japan was destroyed by trees from the moon? I know it sounds weird, but according to the story, trees were being experimented on in an research facility on the moon.Mother nature must not have liked that very much because later the trees that they were experimenting on destroyed the facility and attacked Earth till it was nothing but a pile of ruins.

Three hundred later, the Earth was still pretty much a pile of ruins reminding the surviving humans of what life was like before the disaster. Now society is has been split in two groups which are the people of Neutral City or the people of Ragna. The citizens of Neutral City are the peaceful type that are with peace with the forest and its creatures, the Zruids, that live in the forest and control the water supply. The people of the nation Ragna, on the other hand, hate the forest with a passion and their mostly nothing but military folk that make their mission to destroy the forest and take back their planet.

Now destroying the forest might be a good idea but here's the problem. The forest is very smart and has made it pretty impossible for it to be destroyed until our main character Agito who is a mischievous boy that was trying to racing with his best friend Cain to the water hole which only ended up angering the Zruids. After, that they got separated and eventually Agito discovered a capsule that contained Toola. Toola is a girl that's been asleep for 300 years, so when she wakes up she has no clue where or what time she's in and becomes quite shocked at all of the changes.

Now, when the two are together you can see a little romance start to spark between them but you can also see the obvious obstacles in their way.For example, his best friend has a crush on her and is determined to make her his wife and that the neighborhood girl also has crush on him.Other than their personal romantic obstacles theirs another problem. The forest thinks that she's a threat to their very existance.The reason being is because of Shunack who is another human that was also put to sleep 300 years ago but joined the the people of Ragna and is determined to do anything to destroy the forest and when he finds out about Toola, he goes to Neutral City and convinces her to go with him.

The forest fears Toola because she might hold the key to destroying  the forest once and for all.Agito fears that Shunack might use Toola to get what he wants out of her.So, its up to him to find and rescue her.This magical anime is filled with mystery, romance, sci-fi, friendship and cool battle scenes.I hope you all enjoy this epic movie.
