Origin : Spirits Of The Past (2006) 6/10

Starring : Chris Patton, Carrie Savage
Director : Keiichi Sugiyama
Running Time : 94 mins

Three hundred years from now, in a future where mankind has destroyed Earth's environment through the genetic engineering of their forests, a young man named Agito (Patton) finds himself faced with a machine that contains a young woman, Toola (Savage), from Earth's past. When he revives her he discovers that she has been set the task of returning Earth to its former glory.

Although the animation is nice to watch, this isn't the most enlightening or imaginative anime of recent years. It reminded me of Akira in the way the actors seemed to do little but shout each other’s names, and its attempt to preach to the viewer its message of ecology is pretty weak to say the least. Still, there's enough action to keep most die-hard anime fans engrossed.
